new 8:00 p.m. eastern show will begin on monday and will be forget the five s9 and don't forget our regular time. set your dvrs so you never miss a "the first 100 days" hosted by martha starts right now. >> martha: the attack on paris by isis affiliated terrorists, the vulnerability, two repeated strikes been more and more, a part of life in france. it raises the question how much more of this can free people abide? well this latest hit impact the choice of the french as they had to the polls to elect their next leader. this happening hours after a big coup as they negotiate the release of an american woman held three years in egypt. hello, everybody, i am martha maccallum. it is day 92 of the first 100. we start in france. where we are learning more about

the suspected extremists believed to be behind a deadly sneak attack on police officers. he is a frenchman who had been on the radar of authorities for years. this isn't the first time he's attacked police. this american tourist was a witness. >> we saw the shooter in black, had a black rifle. it look like an ar-15, sounded like an ar-15. at that time, my wife yelled, "run," ran to the corner as fast as we could. it was absolute chaos. panic, with all the people hit here on the street. people were falling down. >> martha: this attack comes days before the first round of voting in the french presidential election for both president trump and former president obama have now injected themselves to a certain extent in this race. in moments, we will be joined by

congress in peter king. we are joined in paris for the very latest. >> martha, it's looking like a pretty normal night here in the shots... -- in fact, i'm standing at the very spot where that guy got out of his car last night with an ak-47 rifle and shot point-blank into a police man, seriously injuring two hours, and hurting a tourist. and then he ran. and then according to eyewitnesses that we've spoken to, the shots rang out round after round, bringing him down and killing him. today, the police i did find the man as kareem -- very long record. he has been 14 years in four different senses, including another failed attack. the police said they didn't see any signs of radicalization while he was in prison through all that time, but they do admit they have found on his body last

night a handwritten note, a defense of isis. in fact, isis has claimed spots ability for the attack. as you noted, martha, all of this is happening on the eve of the first round of french presidential elections. while most of the candidates called off their campaign, they had some strong words, including one of the front runners, the anti-immigrant right wing front national candidate, marie le pen. she said there should be a crackdown on the border. she said there should be a crackdown on terror suspects. and yes, there were some eyewitnesses from america. we spoke with a couple who was here on the 30th anniversary. they were here in paris with their three children. and they were face-to-face with terror. take a listen to hear a little bit more. >> we saw him with the gun, he started shooting bullets in the air. police were in the streets, so it's a very terrifying moment.

>> had he shot the policeman already? >> we saw a man go down. >> you saw a man go down quickly >> we did. >> i saw him move it. when he did that, i could see very clearly the machine gun. >> that's unbelievable! >> it was an attack. >> amazing stuff. these folks, martha, told me that in fact somebody was looking after them today and last night, not for everybody, though. >> martha: chris, thank you very much. here now, republican congressman peter king, a member of the household blend security committee , and the chairman -- go to happy with us as always. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: once again, france's withstanding yet another attack. they have had so many. what are your thoughts on what that means for us here at home? >> first of all, again, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of paris and france. this shows us that isis is a

threat everywhere. certainly a threat here in the united states. i do believe that we are in a better position than france. france over the years has had a much more hostile muslim population within its borders by the united states i think are critical of certain aspects of the muslim community here in the united states, there is no organized opposition but we have no areas that are no-go areas as you see in some parts of france. also, friends has a north african population where there are colonial issues over the years. the issue in france is more difficult here in the united states. but having said that, we still cannot let our guard down. secretary kelly said case after case being opened up, the fbi in this country, the counterterrorism cases, jim comey have said that all 50 states have investigations going on now but no, we can never, ever let our guard on. >> martha: in terms of the traffic that goes back and forth, and training of potential

terrorists, we know what the publications that isis puts out, many of these people can radicalize at home. it's so difficult to get to the root of this. the increased action against isis in iraq and syria, doesn't make anybody any safer in other parts of the world? >> it has to. it makes it so much safer. but on the other hand, you have all these trained isis fighters in syria, 10,000 europeans, i believe, is the latest count we have. if they are driven out, they will be back in europe. many of them are froe decent war privileges, which means people in those countries can go to the u.s. without having a visa. we put certain precautions in place, but that relies on european intelligence knowing who has gone to syria and who hasn't. the outcome of this is -- a, it's a the status of sizing movement. you have the trained fighters in syria. you have them indoctrinated over

the internet. you had a number of those cases in the united states. and they actually try to get in the united states. it is a multipronged war. we have to fight it at every level. >> martha: once again, every situation we learned that this person was somebody who was "on the radar," which we have seen time and time again. the question becomes how can you, and can law enforcement, is it possible within the realm of free moving populace track some of these people down before they take action? >> yeah, first of all we have to try. we have to do all we can. in new york, the nypd has done that over the years. they have gotten a lot of resistance from the civil liberties union and "the new york times" and others, you have to have a certain amount of intelligence research. for instance, the perpetrator in paris. my understanding is there was evidence backing december, he was trying to purchase weapons from the jihadist.

he also made threats against the police. they didn't feel like there was enough evidence to try him. a person like that, you have to watch them. you can have a lot of names of the terrorist watch list, but someone with evidence we tried to purchase weapons from a jihadist, even if it's not enough to stand up for a criminal convention, they have to be watched and monitored. that's one thing we hope that we learned from orlando and san bernardino. >> martha: and boston when they were on the radar and were able to get them. we know the terrorist watch list is unwieldy. it's 100,000 names list long, focusing on that is one of the things that might give us a little bit further down the road. congressman king, thank you very much. good to see you as always. there are new questions after president trump and former president obama appeared to pick sides in the upcoming french election. in the hours before the terror attack, president obama called the centerleft -- we'll talk about, this candidate seen here in the picture posted on social media. his name is macron.

and president trump telling the ap that last night's attack will most likely bolster the chances, perhaps, of marie le pen. -- mark waterman, democratic strategist who served on the obama-biden transition team. good to have you here. sometimes the nuances of elections that are across the ocean, we still doesn't have a lot of relevance to us. it is very interesting. and certainly intentional that both president trump and president obama are speaking out about the coming election that we are seeing this weekend in france, at least the first round. mark, your thoughts? >> sure. there are deafly some parallels but i think president trump is absolutely right that this could have an impact on the election. le pen is running as a outsider challenging the establishment. the french are angry at the establishment. since january 2015, 230 people

killed in terrorist attacks in france, in paris and nice, multiple attacks in paris. as you pointed out with congressman king, if they knew about this guy. he was trying to buy weapons from jihadi, that's got to be helpful from marie le pen who is running both as an outsider and taking a tough line on jihadism. at the same time, trump has did not embrace le pen so much, because -- they say that trump is in collusion with russia. we know that is not the case. in fact, he's taking a tough line with russia as president. she took $12 million from a russian bank, and she did it right after endorsing the russian annexation of crimea. she's actually in collusion with let me if you wouldn't wear double trouble is not she needs a separate herself from him. >> martha: mark alderman, what do you think? >> a patriot knows no boundaries, martha.

the le pen campaign features a lot of the same ugliness the trump campaign did come of the scapegoating of muslims, the embrace of speed seven, the holocaust denial, and le pen should not be underestimated because the bigotry there is as powerful as it proved to be here. at the same time, all politics is local. i don't think we can read too much what happens in france. the french revolution was supposed to herald a new age of humanity, and of the world got napoleon instead. i think this bannon-esque fantasy of a worldwide nationalist revolt is demagoguery, martha. >> martha: some of the things you slept under there with regards to the comparisons between trump and le pen. however, when you look at the elections situation, there are a lot of people in the middle. they do a runoff, they will see who was in the next round.

we have brexit, we have these movements we've seen across europe, mark. what does it say about where western civilization and the countries that may degree greater heading? >> first of all, i think it's outrageous to suggest -- i don't recall trump denying the holocaust. >> i believe his press secretary stood in the white house and did that a week ago. >> martha: that's not what happened. i don't want to go down that rat hole. that's not what happened. go ahead. >> there are parallels for barack obama entered into the brexit campaign. he said the british would be in the back of the line if it happened, they ignored him. it's been interesting, both of the leading candidates in france are outsiders. it's as if the republican and democrat parties were both in third import ways. the french centerleft guy who is the clinton standing in this

election, he is an independent who broke with the socialist. they've got their bernie sanders type, a candidate who is also an outsider who is threatening 100% taxation, and he's been -- we will see how that shakes out after the primary. it looks like two outsiders who will be the leading candidates. >> martha: why do you think president obama is inserting himself and supporting macron? >> i do think, martha, that president obama should come home. i think we need him. he is the leading voice of the democratic dissent. and i would love to see him advise candidates in pennsylvania instead of paris. >> martha: okay. mark, jason? final thoughts? >> yeah. you know, his endorsement of hillary clinton didn't work out all that well either. i don't know if he's had an impact here on the elections here or at home. i think barack obama's brand of liberalism is out of vogue in the united states and in europe. and he is going to be defeated

in paris just as he was in london and just as here in washington. >> martha: thank you very much, guys. still ahead, president trump playing the part of a diplomat, securing the release of an american who was wrongfully jailed for three years in egypt. just moments ago, earlier today in the oval office. in egypt, and negotiator, she's pulling off ideal even president obama failed to close. the behind-the-scenes details of this remarkable story straight ahead. and all eyes focused on north korea. new questions surrounding iran's nuclear ambitions as fox news is now learning that they are accelerating their program. pete hoekstra, david to forward here to debate the future of that future next. >> everywhere you look, if there is trouble in the region, you find iran.

there's a denture adhesive that holds strong until evening. fixodent plus adhesives. just one application gives you superior hold even at the end of the day fixodent. strong more like natural teeth.

>> martha: the fallout from the obama and its rations iran's nuclear deal forcing some mixed signals inside the trump white house. earlier in the tillerson officially notified congress that iran is meeting its agreements under -- but now, president trump

sparking new questions under the deals which are after leveling pretty stern comments. watch this. >> as far as iran is concerned, i think they are doing a tremendous disservice to an agreement that was signed. it was a terrible agreement. they are not living up to the spirit of the agreement. i can tell you that. and we are analyzing it very, very carefully, we will have something to say about it in the not-too-distant future. >> martha: depot child, former house committee commander, and former trump security advisor -- welcome, gentleman. good to have you here. david, let me start with you. are we getting mixed messages from the demonstration on this? >> we definitely are getting mixed messages. as you mention, secretary state tiller sin certified to congress this week that iran is complying with the deal. on the other hand, president trump said that iran is not complying with the spirit of the deal.

there is a slight difference, but it's got to be confusing for iran and those watching it. we've got to be pragmatic and honest with this. the deal wasn't as good as it should've been when we signed the deal in 2015. but we are somewhat boxed in. iran has stepped back its ambitions to develop nuclear weapons, and it is complying in that sense the agreement. also we have given up many other things iran wanted, and when it bargained for this agreement that we've given them money that was sanctioned, we've eased sanctioned on them, and other parties agreement to this but we have to take a pragmatic approach may keep the agreement in place and try to find other ways to curb iran's influence in the region, in ways that iran is supporting terrorism and fomenting stability -- >> martha: the houti rebels in yemen, perhaps north korea.

they did impress where behavior modification in iran before there was an agreement in place. now, aren't we sort of reaping the complications of that? >> that's exactly right, more thorough. as you pointed out, number one, they are emboldened and importantly they are enriched with all the money they have combed and that has flowed into iran with the lessening of sanctions and those type of things. number one, tillerson did certify that technically iran is meeting the requirements of the deal. as the president pointed out, it's not confusing at all. it's very clear. they are not living in the spirit. the spirit of the agreement that was laid out by the obama administration is if we get this agreement with iran, we are going to see a change of behavior. we are going to see iran become a stabilizing force in the middle east. and everything but that has happened. syria, yemen, it's a disaster. the most important thing, though, they are a close ally of

north korea. what type of support are they providing to north korea as the united states and china might be trying to put the screws to the north korean regime? >> martha: the idea was they wanted to change their place in the world, to some extent, and they were willing to curb their nuclear ambitions in order to get that in exchange, david. we've seen no evidence for that. isn't that the bigger issue here? >> well, i disagree with the congressman and a couple of different ways. this is confusing. president trump said he was going to rip up the iran deal on day one. that hasn't happened. we have to be honest about that. secretary speed 21 certification of congress shows he doesn't intend to do that and he's not going to do that. he's broken the campaign promise. second of all, nobody at the time of the iran deal thought that it was going to be a positive force or a stabilizing force in the middle east. nobody thought that. we knew at that time when we sign the agreement, i didn't

support the agreement at the time, we were getting iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. and normalizing relations to a certain extent. we also understood that iran was going to continue the same things that was doing in iraq and syria and in yemen as you mentioned, martha, which are not in the u.s.'s interest. we have to find other ways to curb iran's interest and punish iran which the less demonstration was trying to do in this demonstration i hope will do it in a more robust way. >> martha: pete and david, thank you very much, guys. also tonight, president trump revealed in new accelerated timeline on tax reform and health care, the two big things most americans who voted for president trump would like to see happen and soon. austin will austan goolsbee -- plus up next, an american charity worker wrongly jailed in egypt for over three years is now home thanks to moves by the trump administration. does this remind you of a scene with saw 36 years ago?

mollie hemingway and harry korb waited on that question when we come back. >> we are very happy to have aya >> we are very happy to have aya back i am totally blind. and for years i've struggled with non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that can turn my sleep cycles upside down. it kept me from doing the things i truly love to do. sometimes i'd show up early; sometimes i was too late. and sometimes, even though i was there... i didn't really feel..."there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424 to learn more.

i am trace gallagher. i will break in if news breaks out.

>> good job, right? >> a wonderful job. >> even better than i thought. we are very happy to have aya back home, it's a great honor to have her in the oval office with her brother. thank you very much. >> martha: a nice moment today in the oval office. an egyptian american in prison in cairo for three years is uni. the president and his aides striking a deal with the egyptian president to free aya hijazi and her husband and four other charity workers who were held. there are the pictures of the president not too long ago with president el-sisi. the obama administration had taken a crack at resolving this situation. they were not able to see all the way through the end, but that happened today. trace gallagher takes us through it. trace? >> hi, martha. when she and her husband led her

down, they were happy and surprised. they like many others didn't think the release would be happening so soon. hijazi it was working in egypt with a foundation that she and her husband started as an urban for street children in cairo. in may 2013 "the first 100 days" three and her -- child trafficking. u.s. officials and human rights groups widely dismissed the charges as bogus. saying the egyptian government provide no evidence and postpone hearings and trials for no reason. experts say hijazi became the global face of egypt brutal crackdown and civil society. the obama administration unsuccessfully pressed the government for their release. president trump tried to reset u.s.-egypt relations by inviting president el-sisi to the white house.

despite the state department under the obama arbitration accusing el-sisi of human rights violations, including the murder and torture of its own people, tribe and braced , saying he was fantastic. the trump administration said there was no quid pro quo for hijazi's release. but they were apparently assured that despite the outcome of her trial, she would soon be back in the u.s. end. an indication that president el-sisi would pardon her. then last sunday, she and her husband were acquitted of all code charges. at the white house, president trump welcomed president trump welcomed aya hijazi home, saying she showed great strength in her ordeal. the white house is clearly painting this as a significant foreign policy achievement, though human rights groups are calling on el-sisi to release thousands of political prisoners. martha? 's. >> martha: larry korb, senior fellow at the center for american progress, also served of assistant defense secretary during president reagan's first

term. good to have you here. we made that analogy of swords of the iranian hostages being released, larry, at the beginning of reagan's term. do you see parallels? >> no, i don't. what happened with the release of the hostages the day president reagan took the oath of office, the iranians had started as negotiations in september before they even knew who would win the election. and after everything was settled, they waited until carter left office because they despised him for having given the shah who overthrew medical treatment in the united states and the failed rescue. we were not involved at all in the negotiations. >> martha: the obama administration was very critical of el-sisi and they were critical of president trump meeting him. and sort of bringing him in and sort of putting him inside the circle has started to be a catalyst, at least, with the

release of these initial hostages. >> right. president trump has been criticized for not condemning the authoritarianism of different worldly world series world leaders. it's in contrast to how president obama condemned him, famously banned him from the white house bid president obama sought release of these hostages and failed. this shows that this can be a beneficial way to be publicly friendly and privately to apply pressure. and it's a balance of how some people emphasize pushing american values. some people emphasize pushing american interest. it's pretty clear that president trump is someone who was focused on american interest. >> martha: it so fascinating, larry, to watch the art of the deal and motion on the global stage. what has changed wearily is the tone. there are conversations with entities where there weren't before. and we have seen movement. we've seen movement in china with regards to the north korea situation. it's a different tactic, a

different way of getting at these problems. do you see it as a positive or not? >> well, i'm happy that mrs. hijazi and her family are the least. what about the thousands of people that are still there quick select remember, sisi took power in a coup and after he took power, he killed and basically imprisoned thousands of people in effect by inviting him to the white house, you are basically turning a blind eye to what he did. now i would've hoped that the president, while he was here, would also have denounced him for that and say, well, you are our ally, we need to deal with you. we will give you military aid. you've got not just this wonderful woman but all of the other people. what are you going to do about that? >> martha: some might say you have to start somewhere. and the release of these people might be the beginning of something that we will see. we've got to go. great topic. thank you both for being here today. more on that coming up.

tonight, president trump's week 13 draws to a close. our panel of political science providers tell my professors have their red pens out to grade the week. were the 100 days run out without a big legislative deal? the white house is pressing now for something on tax reform or health care, or maybe both, signaling tonight they want this thing moving. >> we will get tax reform done. it will be sweeping. it will be significant. it will create a lot of economic growth.

>> martha: so there is now an ambitious new timeline for two new pieces of policy unveiled by president trump hours ago. the president saying he will propose massive tax cuts as early as next week, which i would point out, is before the 100 days run albert fox news can

support, report and attempt on health care reform could happen. austan goolsbee, an economics professor at university of chicago's school of business, and fox news contributor -- welcome to the both of you. the clock is ticking. the president says 100 days doesn't mean anything, but we all know that it is a benchmark. if nothing else, people look back on and judge you by at least in some extent. is it possible. let me start with you, that we get some sort of bundle on tax reform and health care, something marked off for people to look at? >> may be before the first 100 days? but in terms of passage, i don't think that's realistic. you've got the health care beer that's being worked on right now. i know the white house is pushing for a vote next week so they can hold that as a legislative accomplishment. i spoke to senior sources at

capitol hill, leadership sources who are trying to temper expectations and throw cold water on that. i do believe the president and the speaker at the seams page. health care, tax reform, i do think the president is going to roll out his plan next week. it's probably an indication he's feeling some of that political pressure to not have some results, but feel like there is momentum, or the ball moving in the right direction. >> martha: austan, how important is it to put something on that side legislative ledger, so to speak, by the end of the week? >> you know... it's hard to say. i mostly agree with what guy said. i think there is a danger. if you got it in your head, "i've got to do something before the 100 days is done" ," you cat actually do anything except, maybe, not shut down the government. and if you are just rushing to get something out on the table

and said, oh, at least i came up with a plan, i think there is a danger that you make a mistake. in the way, that's what happened with health care. if you remember, they rushed to get the first trumpcare out on the anniversary of the aca. but they were rushed, the thing fell apart. >> martha: austan, when i hear, we were too much of a rush, we can get this to happen, people who work outside of washington work on deadlines all the time. >> yeah... but they don't have -- >> martha: all we hear from congress is there isn't enough time but we work on something, we have to go on vacation. people are so sick of hearing that they don't have enough time to get anything done. i feel like i've been hearing it for years and years and years. >> yeah. there is also the small little detail that republicans complained on repealing and replacing obamacare for seven years! >> martha: yeah! >> they had a lot of time to get something together. and what it was the moment, and

it arrived, they failed. again, they are trying to rectify that. they are trying to get the train back on the tracks. the vice president has been instrumental in that process. yeah, i understand a symptom of voters saying, all right, guys, republicans, we put you in charge of everything, which is what you asked for. now what? they've got some good stuff with the congressional review act overruling some of obama's regulation, some executive orders, neil gorsuch. >> martha: one more quick thought from austan before we go. austan? >> i was laughing when you said this. in the campaign, it's not congress' fault, it's donald trump's fault, he ran saying he had a secret plan to defeat isis in 90 days, he ran saying he had a repeal and replace for obamacare that he had a tax plan, but he didn't have any of those. so now, he has to pay the piper, as it were, and that's what's making it worse. >> martha: at the end of the day, congress has to sign

legislation. and they had seven years. and the republican said, oh, we did everything for the house, ascendant, white house, they will be hunky-dory. you will be amazed of what happens. good to see you all. so tonight, it is friday. spring break is over. it's time to grade the president on week 13. from some new england patriots over to north korea. chris stirewalt, and richard fowler with their report cards coming up next. >> i don't want to telegraph what i'm thinking or what i'm doing. doing. i'm not like e e e e when this bell rings... ...it starts a chain reaction... ...that's heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected.

that's the power of and.

>> martha: getting close, folks, to the end of the first 100 days. this is now week 13. it's a week both on the domestic and foreign policy front with some pretty strong words from the white house along the way. let's take a look. >> strong red lines haven't really worked in the past. he holds his cards close to the vest. >> strategic patients has been the -- the era of it is over. >> i do not want to telegraph what i'm doing or what i'm thinking. i'm not like other administrations. >> when you are binge watching

"madman" on netflix, tsa is stalking an actual madman. >> more veterans can see the doctor of their choice. you got it? the doctor of their choice. >> this afternoon, there were some words that obamacare appeal might be revived inside the 100 day mark. true? >> it's always a potential. >> with your backs against the wall, and the pundits -- they are wrong a lot, aren't they quick may >> build a war, physical barrier, a -- we will be focusing on the top priorities first. >> we are very happy to have aya back home. it's a great honor to have her in the oval office with her brother. >> martha: chris stirewalt, fox news politics editor, richard fowler's nationally

syndicated host. welcome, everybody did what a week that was. let's take a look at what you thought about it and how the president stacks up in the gradebook. kristin, let me start with you. >> >> i gave president trump a c for this week, bearing in mind see means average. this is a mixed week. there are some things that went pretty well for the white house. the media in the weeks leading up to the white house, the easter egg roll, giving them a hard time. they went fine. very lovely moment. you have the patriots come visit the white house. that was signed with a lot of media criticism, players not showing up, these things turned out great. you also had this wonderful moment where you had the prisoner being released from egypt. on the other hand, i think the situation with north korea is very worrisome. it speaks to a bigger problem where in the state department defense department, there are a lot of positions that are unfilled. not a lot of clarity of what america strategy or policy is. when you have something like an

american aircraft carrier that one department says is heading toward north korea, the korean peninsula, and yet it actually turns out they were heading to the indian ocean, that's not a great moment. that's why i wind up giving the president a c for the week. >> martha: that was not a president tell mike a that was not a good moment. i went to high school, there was no great inflation. there's a lot of that going around there is not going around in kristen's gradebook. >> richard, what do you think? >> i don't believe in great inflation. i give the president a c. what we heard late this week is the president saying that we are going to get health care done this week. he's letting the pressure of the first 100 days get in the way of actually passing a really good deal or fixing the affordable care act, right quick smack i think this president has huge challenges when it comes bringing the g.o.p. conference cap together, getting the tuesday group, which is the more moderate group together with the freedom congress, getting them together to come up with a

health care bill that actually works. and, you know, it's going to take longer than a day, it took obama a couple of hundred days to get the affordable care act. i think the president should take a couple of hundred days as well to make sure he gets the fixes to the affordable care act correct. the washington things saying, well, we need more time, take as long as you want, we've got seven years, chris stirewalt, to work on this problem. yes, no way we can have this paper turned in on time. sir? >> i don't know about flying toasters, i do want to get about that. i think first of all that the president should have been docked points for the patriots' welcome, everybody knows they are evil. >> martha: oh oh! let's not go there, my friend. you know you are dealing with a patriots fan in one martha maccallum. >> i'm not going to be unjust and not punish him in bad judgment and sports team. i will say that overlooked in all of this discussion is he faces a make or break a test on tuesday.

if the republicans would've lost out right in the congressional election down in atlanta, his agenda which, right now, is running on fumes, would be over. would be dead. he would not be able to find republicans on capitol hill that wanted to work with them on anything if they would've lost out right in that election. he won. the rebel against won. it was close, it was scary for him. they won. richard is 100% right, which is the idea that using the arbitrary benchmark, as we know, things that are supposed to last 100 days last longer. longer period than 100 days. >> martha: there is a long story about that. >> there is a long story about that. for the president to be whipsawed acting out like this in the final week, that's not a good idea. his agenda is alive this week and he's okay, he gets a b. >> martha: a b despite the five time warning champions england patriots -- >> boo!

>> martha: yours truly also got to watch that. a great moment in the first 100 days. richard, what are you looking for? >> we will see what happens. let's see if he can actually get some language of the health care bill done. >> martha: they have been on vacation for two weeks. i wanted to point that out. >> i think chris is right, this is historical context. this idea, fdr would send the bill up on monday morning, and monday night he'd have it back on his desk sign. what president trump, the mistake president trump made when he came into office he accepted the 100 a notion of washington, d.c. >> martha: everyone does that. you can possibly avoid it. >> he's supposed to be a different guy in a different president! >> martha: go ahead. >> i would much rather this president put forward policies that are going to work rather than ones that meet some kind of arbitrary deadline. next week is going to be big not because he says he's going to put tax reform of the table next

week, another edge and item coming up that has been much anticipated by the markets, by others out there. next week is going to be a big maker. >> martha: i wish you guys were my teacher, because apparently there are no deadlines to turn in papers. i'm good with that. thank you, guys. we will be right back with the quote of the night. a very appropriate scene from a classic tv show about the there's a denture adhesive that holds strong until evening. fixodent plus adhesives. just one application gives you superior hold even at the end of the day fixodent. strong more like natural teeth.
