republicans, it's not going to get done. lou: byron york, gayle trotter thank you both. congressman mark meadows and former speaker newt gingrich will be here. kennedy: lawmakers claim they made a deal on a $1 trillion federal budget. but is feeding the government more of our money the solution? political analysts say they know exactly why hillary lost the election. ever wonder how much a 10-year-old knows about politics? i'll asked tonight on third grade news. it's time to ace this test. the can has a new dent and the spending package will keep the lights on until october. there is no border wall starter.

just border security that allows hypocritical democrats to pretent they are not race baiters. one of his predecessors spoke in equally colorful language. here is bill clinton from his 1995 state of the union address. >> our administration has moved to secure our borders by hiring a record number of border guards and deporting twice as many illegal immigrants as possible. we are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. kennedy: he wasn't the only tough talker. remember this guy? >> because we live in an table when terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the u.s. undowvmentd and unchecked.

americans are better to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws. kennedy: he deported more people than any other president ever. senator chuck humaner is right, a big physical barrier won't keep out drugs or central american visitors. this people are all unprincipled jerks. they agree on a lot more than yanking 9 government teat when it suits them. president trump is fainltsd as wildly anti-lgbt. but his pres opponent didn't' ce

out until public opinion shift. >> i believe marriage always sacred bonds between a man and woman. >> do you have think new york state should recognize gay marriage? >> no. kennedy: the only required that should be tacked on to this bill is electroshock therapy. making us y for stuff we don't want me or used so they can claim a moral victory. then once again they will change their empty minds. i'm glad you are here. i'll need you. i'm kennedy. a vote on the budget? that could happen this wednesday. bret baier is host of special report on the fox news channel.

great to see you again, bret baier. let's talk about some of the winners and losers. who claims victory, republicans or democrats? bret: no matter your ideology or party you are with, this spending bill is not a profile in courage. this is essentially funding almost exactly like it was. it is not changing for the trump administration, and who claims victory? i think democrats can claim more victories than republicans namely that they kept funding planned parenthood, they did not see the cuts that were called for in the epa, the corporation of public broadcasting, big bird is fine, the national endowment of the arts. all of the things that were controversial in the budget blue print, they didn't come to pass. while there is more border security and more money for defense, it's much less than the trump administration wanted and it does not pay for the wall.

kennedy: this a little bit more money for military spending. and part of that is from the enthusiasm that democrats showed when the president authorized those tom hawk miss soil strikes in syria. i think you are see there is an appetite for destruction in both parties. bret: the republicans control 9 white house, the house and the senate. the fact that this spending bill, it's 2017, it's not 2018. the administration makes the case that 2018 is where they will make their stands. but they had access to this 2017 spending bill because congress kicked the can down to this point. but republicans had control yet this is a very democratic spending bill. kennedy: it is absolutely and democrats are promising more of the same in the fall. so what happens in october? does anything change?

you point out it's status quo spending. we are still spending way too much money and look at massive tax cuts. which i applaud. we absolutely need tax renorm this country, but we also need to cut you have the kids' credit card because they shoved us into the red. >> this spending bill mentality that washington has had that created the situation we are in. it has to stop some place if you talk to conservatives. and they say you have got to draw the line. they are in control. and the line was not drawn this time. if you are going to have massive tax cuts and it looks like they will roll those out and try to get that passed, you will have to find the cuts somewhere. if you are not going to touch entitlement spend you will have to cut some massive programs. kennedy: how do they sell tax

cuts to wary democrats? obviously americans want them. individuals wants them. businesses wants them. but it seems as though democrats are hell bent on with holding in order to give the president another loss. what does this administration have to do to reach across the aisle? >> i think they are going to have to incentivize democrats' priorities and say scratch my back and i'll scratch yours whether it comes down to infrastructure or starting something big like the simpson-bowles commission president obama had an ignored. that deals with spending in the future. if they did that, they could probably get democrats on board. kennedy: i don't think anything will be done with entitlements

until millennials are in office. they realize there will be nothing left. some of the most reliable voters in this country. golden americans, their social security and medicare are stable for the time being. it will be future generations who will have to look at balance sheet and realize they are staring into a hellish abyss. there could be a vote later this week on the gop healthcare proposal. the president says the plan is finally ready. >> this evolved over a period of three or four weeks. we have a good bill. they could have wrote it on friday. i say just relax. take it easy, take your time. and make it perfect. kennedy: there is already a little controversy.

the house gopsal doesn't include coverage for people with preexisting conditions. however, the president yesterday guaranteed that it would. so let's hash all this out. let me bring in my monday fun day party panel. comedian and host of part of the problem. dave smith. and charles cook, editor of national review online. welcome back, everyone. what's gone on with preexisting conditions? it seems as if your party is in a bit of disarray. i lean republican. what is happening is the president doesn't really know what's in the bill. the president doesn't really care what's in the bill. i love that line.

this is 1/6 of the economy. i'm pretty hard line on this. i don't think the federal government has a role to play in healthcare at all. the more we can deconstruct and send back to the states the better. but i'm not convinced the discrepancies that you mentioned between what is in the bill and what the president thinks tonight bill will end well for the republican party. kennedy: or how meaningful the state waivers are. forcing insurance companies to charge the exact same amount for people who are sick and those who are well. dave, what would happen? i have been thinking about this. obviously the bill is growing more and more complex by the day with he group and every opinion and every amendment. what if you simplified it and took the government completely out of healthcare. is that an option? >> of course it's an option.

it seemed like no one has the courage to stand up and make that argument which is the other side of that healthcare should be left to the free market, period. kennedy: what if you said insurance companies will write insurance. >> you could nullifier other regulation that we have. if you look at what's left to the free market, we don't have trouble getting poor people, flat screen tvs. this is the argument we have to make and no one seems to be willing to make it. what charles says about not reading the bill is a factually true statement. when rand paul got to congress, this was one of his big thing. no one reads the bills. no one knows what's in there. kennedy: this comes down to price fixing. and price fixing results in

venezuela. it does. on may day. >> obviously problematic. i do not consider myself to be on the far left of my party. but for some government role in delivering healthcare, i think you will see increasing support for a single payer system because people are so afraid -- they are not afraid. kennedy: they are afraid. single payer is an awful idea. >> when you have bills coming out of the republican house that will strip understand for 24 million people. they say we know congress isn't going anywhere and we want to make sure they are held to the fire. kennedy: people are frustrated that they don't have choices. >> we have have insurance kk 8 lines and keep government -- >> has anybody made a good

argument for why we can't have understand across state lines? there is nothing accept the corporations -- >> both side of the aisle have that. they have a lobbying problem. they are all beholding to special interests. kennedy: and the insurance companies plead after i. it is may 1. and that means leftists around the globe are protesting. folk take to the streets to rail against president trump, and make a scene for the cameras. but this year immigration rights has been a big thing. the question is will the demonstrations accomplish anything? what is the natural outcome of these communal political orgies? >> i think these communal political orgies have the same probably the democratic party

has. there is an inability to distinguish about whether they are angry with president trump per se or the status quo or the republican 35r9y per se. -- republican party per se. you go down to may day protests, they are angry with capitalism per se. they are angry with the immigration enforcement per se. it's not trump necessarily. kennedy: if you look at them and the mistakes past presidents have made and you see the deportations. >> it just sounds better with that drawl. that's my thesis about bill clinton. i was in my teens so i wasn't paying that attention. when i look at it now and i understand what a blue dog democrat is, you know it was the drawl.

kennedy: i don't know, man. the people skipping work for parades, and protests. what does it accomplish? >> i think i hope they keep some perspective and say america does take more up grants than anywhere. we take in far more than anywhere. kennedy: the party panel is returning. a little later we are going to party. but first up today marks six years since seal team six took down usama bin laden. so why are american troops still so why are american troops still in

foreign policy in afghanistan, former u.n. ambassador john bolton. welcome back. so, let's talk about afghanistan. i know we have seen a lot of high-profile military strategy and implementation in that country and in the region. but what are the potential political and diplomatic solutions. particularly bringing the taliban to the table. >> we have been there since the 2001 september 11 attacks and a lot of things have gone wrong there. but the net net is we are still threatened by the country being taken over by taliban in combination with al qaeda in combination with isis. and that poses a direct threat to the united states in two respects. once again establishing an international base, a haven for terrorist activities, plans and training against the united

states, and two the risk that a terrorist-led afghanistan to facilitate the fall of the pakistani government, to the pakistani taliban or other radicals which would put terrorists in command of the nuclear arsenal of 60 or more nuclear weapons by public estimate. it's a two-fold threat, it's a real threat. kennedy: if we are going to talk about staying there, i want to know what's worse. is it having the taliban around the country or risking the trifalls apart completely and turns into yemen, libya or what syria is turning into. john: having the taliban run the country meant having 3,000 dead americans. we snow pack and has this capability, this nuclear

capability. we have to think of the bigger question. it's not a pleasant solution, but it's not a pleasant solution to have terrorists threaten attacks in the united states in western europe these last 15 years either. kennedy: let's talk about al qaeda in afghanistan. isis is obviously there as well. what is the state of al qaeda since bin laden's death and what impact has his death had on that part of the world and afghanistan in particular? john: i think it's a mistake to say on one hand you have al qaeda and on the other hand you have isis. isis is an outgrowth of al qaeda. this is a very tumultuous environment with this terrorist ideology spawning old groups, new groups emerging. it's not far-fetched to think

that you could see a fusion or an alliance of convenience between isis and al qaeda. we know from the document we did capture from al qaeda locations from afghanistan in 2011. they wanted to get their hands on nuclear weapons. so i think speaking about what would happen in afghanistan alone is a mistake, given the instability of the pakistani government these many years. kennedy: we are not going to keep committing those military mistakes over and over again. that seems incredibly foolish as well it appears if afghanistan does fall and slips away from the taliban that it could become a caliphate. when you talk about the levant

and various parts of the middle east you are talking about pakistan and iran. in the wrong hands it could give rights to a new form of isis. as you said, that's a new form of al qaeda and what's coming down could be much, much worse if the taliban is not there to keep it in check. john: in this region from north africa right through to afghanistan, chaos has been growing particularly these last 8 years. it's not fun being out there on the frontiers where this fight has taken place. i would rather fight the terrorists in afghanistan than watch them kill innocent civilians in american cities here. kennedy: unfortunately a lot of the civilian deaths follow from our involvement in the region. and i think history, especially modern history -- john: you are absolutely wrong.

if you think these people are provoked because we are here, i think you are missing the fundamental ideology that has motivated them going back 100 years or more. we didn't create the ideology. we don't want this war. kennedy: with all due respect, the neocon solutions. john: you don't know what neocon means. kennedy: i do because i have red many of your writings. john: if you understood it, you would know that. kennedy: a bunch of democratic strategists say they know why hillary clinton last last year's presidential election to donald trump. here is a hint. ed henry joins me to talk about ed henry joins me to talk about did you know slow internet can actually hold your business back? say goodbye to slow downloads, slow backups, slow everything.

kennedy: a group of democratic strategists say they finally determined why hillary clinton's campaign implode. according to the report analysts poured over the data and determined the biggest reason she lost was because large numbers of people who voted for president trump in 2012 voted for president trump last year. that runs counter to the believe

that clinton's base didn't turn out to vote. now we know they did turn out. they just voted for someone else. can democrats learn from their mistakes? joining me now, author of 42 face the. did hillary clinton ever have her own base? ed: no, they thought they would put together their tone coalition who instead were flocking to bernie sanders in the primaries. so a lot of this is one big duh. everybody is saying this is a big book explaining why hillary clinton lost. it turns out she never had a message and her staff was in flux and in disarray. we knew that throughout the

campaign but pundits dismissed the chances of donald trump again and again. we are reminded these voters wanted to go to trump and not to her. kennedy: these voters wanted somebody else and she could never figure out what she wanted. that was one of the thee sees of "shattered." she would frustrate her speech writers who would offer up ideas. she was indecisive and she a waffled. she went into a number of black churches and community, paint was the only time she seemed to electrify the crowds, and she thought all those voters would follow her into history and 9 voting booths and they just didn't. ed: this is from focus groups democrats did in battleground states, the key states that tilted to donald trump. the democrats are finding out that the voters in those swing

states say they thought hillary clinton's pocies were going to help the rich more than donald trump's policies would. so that's a huge problem for democrats in an election that was with supposed to be about the middle class and who was closer to wall street. hillary clinton with all those speeches, another irony now you have donald trump with a bunch of goldman sachs people around him in the white house and barack obama the saint to some of these progressive voters taking money from wall street like hillary clinton did. so i think their whole world has been turned upside down. ken rrm and he doesn't have a foundation to funnel that money into and you a wife who don't appear to have political aspirations. the party panel is back. dave i smith and charles cook angels qatar love.

-- and jessica tarlov. the winner is none other than nancy pelosi. the house minority leader stopped at nothing to swing against republican control in washington and eliminate the trump administration from pennsylvania far knew. now with the obamas and the clintons out of d.c., she is the tomorrow target for the right. do democrats have a prayer in 2018? in order to be victorious, you have to have a good strategy and you have to have a good villain. is nancy pelosi the best villain to pick on? >> she is being challenged by the left. and that is tearing the party -- i think it many good to shake it up. we talked about tim ryan who challenged her for the

speakership. i wasn't sure if i thought he was the right person to lead at that moment. but we'll have to look at the potential to shake up the party. kennedy: nancy pelosi is being challenged and attacked by a populist and a bernie sanders clone. it's being hang up like a snow globe. which party does a better job of demonizing someone to great effect. >> republicans do a bert job of demonizing form leaders. so i'm more scared about the north korean bogeyman and nancy pelosi. the republicans when they are out of power, they pretend to be for small government. so we need to blame something and in george bush's case it was

like the war on terror. kennedy: president obama had no problem continuing that narrative. there were attack ads in that georgia fight, and nancy pelosi's name was certainly invoked saying this kid is just a product, it's nancy pelosi's love child. a future house of representatives congressman was born. >> she is a smart target. she has been there an awfully long time. i don't know why they haven't retired her. and she is good fat raising money. she does represent a certain soldier democrat. they are suffering from an identity crisis and she is of that west coast, very socially liberal so-called -- cares a lot

about things most people don't care about. it would not be smart for republicans to unload on somebody more like tim ryan. but the point i'm trying to make is she represents what is good for republicans to rail against. while she is there they can point to her and say that's what the democratic party is. kennedy: democrats just point at the president saying he's bad, vote against his stuff, it doesn't do enough. >> he hasn't been successful at anything since he got into office. >> you can say she was in power. he's going to do these things and he hasn't actually done them. what the democrats are trying to do is keep up enthusiasm and

people to be active at any cost. so they will take any occasion and turn it into something. kennedy: you are right. they are poking the hornet's nest. i have sores on my hands and face. i have to go see nancy's dermatologist. kennedy: do you get that feeling that grade schoolers have more common sense than people on capitol hill? how many tax dollars does the government spend per student per year? earning your cash back shouldn't be this complicated. yet some cards limit where you earn bonus cash back to a few places. and then, change those places every few months.

kennedy: before the break i asked how many tax dollars does the federal government spend per student per year. according to the department of education. $12,000 a year. if only we had spent that much to educate our elected officials. it's no secret politicians always behaved like a bunch of third graders so we decided to bring in the experts to help us figure out why. with me is 10-year-old carter.

9-year-old kara, and sam who is also 10 years old. let's party everyone, what do you say? carter, that's what i like, enthusiasm. i'm going to ask you some questions. there are no wrong answers here. let's talk about politics. what did your teacher tell you about the election? >> they didn't want to talk about it? kennedy: because they were worried bell would fight? >> yeah. kennedy: what did people say was better? it's a tough call. who did you vote for in the election? >> if i could i would vote for trump ken there are when you looked at him and you went yes. >> i liked to hear was going to try to get rid of isis. kennedy: i'm show you some pictures. i want you to tell me who these people are. what they do and tell me something about them. like you can tell me if they are nice.

>> would you invite taylor swift to your birthday party? >> no. i think it's a funny question. that is kim kardashian, what is she famous for. if you knew, i would be very upset. who is this? >> north korea's president. kennedy: his name is? kennedy: sky. that's kim jong-un. dose have a good air cut or bad haircut. who is this, carter? >> bernie sanders. it's bernie sanders. kara, what does bernie sanders do? >> i don't know. kennedy: he wants to spend your parents' money. all that hard-earned money your parents make, he wants to take it away.

does that sound nice or mean? >> a mean thing. kennedy: what else does bernie sanders do? he wants to control your life. he wants to tell you what to eat and what to wear and to not use so much deodorant. >> we are part of nature, we must coexist with nature. kennedy: do you think the president is doing a good job, sam? >> i like how's building the wall. >> i will have mexico pay for that wall. kennedy: who is this? >> hillary clinton. kennedy: what's the best thing about her? >> she's a girl. the second best thing is she is not our president. because she is a statist war monger corporatist. do you feel like i'm indoctrinating you? would you like to see materials on the libertarian party? i'm just kidding, sam. last one.

who is that? >> i have no idea. wait, wait. is that you? >> that's you? why did you have curly hair. >> this was in the style of a musician called weird al yankovich. he's my dad. i think he should amended thendu run for office because i think all three of you would make a great co--president. much better than hillary clinton. coming up, a british man behaved like an animal and raised $33,000 in the process. online u.s. equity trades...

kennedy: the following video were picked on the fly. i was going to use my cell phone video from the white house correspondents dinner. this is the "topical storm." topic number one. thank you.

have you heard about that hot new s anne m site where people go to get slapped? it's called delta.com. a pilot appears to smack a female passenger upside the face. she was fighting another woman at the atlanta airport. the pilot then stepped in and hit the woman. then to make matters worse, an american airlines attendant beat her with a baby stroller. delta said they are taking the incident very seriously, and if the pilot is found guilty of beating a passenger, he will immediately be transferred to united. topic number two. the hamburglar is no longer the

most wanted criminal at mcdonald's. a florida woman arrested on prostitution charged after she agreed to have sex with an undercover cop in exchange for chicken mcnuggets. she is expected to plead not skinny. people are making fun of the mcnugget hooker. this poor woman is caught up in one of the most dangerous activities in the world, and also prostitution. doing the dirty deed for nugs is rock bottom. don't get me wrong. we have all done shameful things for a couple of big macs. looking at you, wolf blitzer, but this is just low. topic number 3. any guy can invite you to netflix and chill. but it take a real man to gunpoint robbery and chill.

but that's what happened. the kick-ass cashier. a man pulled out a gun at jimmy john's restaurant. that's the gun. he pulls off his latex gloves because he doesn't want to get anything dirty, then he pulls out the jammy and aims it at this guy. it doesn't squirt jelly. the kansas city police department arrests a suspect in the robbery it turn out he was a kansas city chiefs man so he wanted to die. this wasn't the only incident on his shift. a couple minute after the robbery a woman came in and offered him sex for chicken fingers. if you are under the age of 40

this year the was mostly journalists sitting around journalizing trying not to look like dorky trump haters. the theme of the dinner was celebrating the first amendment. i'll be impressed next year if they honor the second amendment. hasan~minaj. but the point of the night was a reset and examination for what it means to be a journalist in washington covering an unorthodoxed presidency. both sides are rewriting the rules of the relationship. it was nice to take a break from reality so the nevers could have a night for themselves. so i went. email kennedyfbn@foxbusiness.com.
