week cometh difficult to pin down exactly how many votes they need to pick up in order to pass this bill. i'm told by white house sources is anywhere between 4-8. just a few minutes ago in the rose garden appearing the air force falcons, they presented them with the commander-in-chief trophy, the president put on the pressure, asking members of congress who were in attendance, by the way, how is healthcare coming along? saying it is time to get it done. saturday night in harrisburg, you will remember, he lay down another big marker saying that he would be so angry if a public members of congress do not get it voted on. the president also defending the spending deal that he cut with the democrats, conservatives complaining that the white house and republicans in the house gave up too much to get a deal including no funding for a border wall. with the air force champions as a backdrop, the president insisted the spending bill was a win for all americans and that he got plenty of what he wanted including $21 billion in new defense spending, listen here.

>> we brought lawmakers together from both sides of the aisle to deliver a budget that funds the rebuilding of the united states military, make historic investment in border security and provide healthcare for our coal miners and school choice for our disadvantaged children. very importantly, there is no long-term bailout for the insurance companies that the democrats desperately wanted to subsidize -- the donors -- the badly feeling obamacare. >> the white house is pushing back very hard against claims from conservatives that they rolled over and gave everything the democrats wanted and did not get a whole lot for themselves. to that end, the budget director mick mulvaney will be appearing with sean spicer at the daily briefing about 25 minutes from now. the president also indicating there could be a big fight over the fiscal year '18 budget. those conversations already getting underway but the negotiation will begin in earnest probably late august,

early september. the president tweeting out today that maybe they need to invoke the nuclear option so that they can get a budget agreement on 51 votes in the senate and may be, just maybe, the whole idea of a government shutdown may be just what the doctor ordered to clean up the whole budget mess. so the president sending out some very sharp language today saying that maybe you did not get everything you wanted this time around but is going to next time, we will see. >> jon: interesting to see what happens in september, thank you. >> jenna: in the meantime, pressure mounting on house republicans to come up with enough votes to repeal and replace obamacare. even if it passes the house, the senate is a bigger question mark. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel life on capitol hill, picking up the coverage from there. >> good afternoon, a ferry of activity on capitol hill as republicans tried to rally up the final votes to pass healthcare reform in the house. as you mention, the senate is a whole other hurdle but first things first, they have to get it through the house. they also need to pass a

government funding form about the house and senate to keep the government lights on through september. hearing some complaints from conservatives about that package, speaker paul ryan defended the plan. >> in the bill, there is a lot of good conservative wins here, but chief among them are the presidents to two highest priorities. support our military and get border security, down payment and this delivers that. >> vice president mike pence has been on capitol hill trying to convince republicans to support health care reform. we saw him last night, again today. when asked if they have the votes to pass it, pence told us late last night to stay tuned. two more g.o.p. defections are making it more difficult. fred upton of michigan told a local radio station that he has a lot of concerns with the current bill and will not get him to yes in its current form. lily long of missouri announced last night he is a no, worried that it weakens protections for people with pre-existing conditions. mark meadows, conservative chairman of the freedom caucus on capitol hill is pushing back,

saying that our projections for p existing conditions, meadows says he think they are just a handful of votes away. here is more from chairman meadows. >> do you want the white house more or less involved? >> obviously this is something the leadership here in congress has to address. it is really in their court. >> you see a whole lot of pressure here building on capitol hill with the white house pushing for a vote on healthcare reform. top leaders trying to get the final votes to get it across the finish line and some members. about whether this package will actually make healthcare in this country better or create new problems. >> jenna: congress meant kevin brady coming up, chairman of the house ways and means committee, thank you very much. >> donald trump, sworn in as president 100 days ago. america has rarely seen such success. you would not know it from watching the news. america is winning, and president trump is making america great again.

>> jon: that was president trump's new 100 days campaign ad, you might call it, attacking the media. that has become a common theme of his presidency. with the white house correspondents association gathered in washington for its annual dinner saturday, the president was at a counter rally in pennsylvania, criticizing what he feels has been unfair coverage and attacking the credibility of the press. joining us now, frequent guest on our program, jeff mason, correspondent and president of the white house correspondents association. we are awaiting the daily briefing, jeff. we should be at least 20 minutes away. we will certainly let you get there if that begins early for some reason. let's talk about the relationship between this white house and the press corps. it seemed on saturday night that things looked pretty testy. >> i think what we tried to show saturday night certainly in my remarks and generally in the program is that we have worked very hard to build a

constructive relationship with the white house. i think we have -- i noted saturday and will note again, the excess that journalists have had under president trump administration has been good. we have had several press conferences. we have had several opportunities to go in and see meetings and watch him govern. that is important to us and has been a positive thing. but i also talked about the other side, which has created quite a bit of tension which is the sum of the rhetoric the president has employed about the free press in the united states of america. we, of course, reject the claims and some of the issues he has raised. >> jon: he calls many in the media purveyors of fake news. he says he just does not get a fair shot when it comes to coverage of what his white house has accomplished. i know you cannot speak for all of the media, but you do speak for the white house correspondents association. how do you answer that? >> i do, and you're right, i do

not speak for the media or individual members of our association doing their jobs. i do think the white house press corps is committed to covering the facts. the white house correspondents association is certainly committed to the principles of reporting about truth and we have done that for years, in the press corps has done that for years, regardless of who was in office here at the white house behind me. >> jon: let's play, for our viewers, some of what you had to say saturday night in answer to some of the presidents charges. here it is. >> it is our job to report on facts and to hold leaders accountable. that is who we are. we are not fake news. [applause] >> we are not feeling news organizations. and we are not the enemy of the american people. >> jon: i have been told, jeff, that in private, this president is a much different

person than he appears in public. he might be bombastic and loud sometimes in public situations, but in private, he is a totally different person. is it possible that the charge of fake news and that kind of thing is more gamesmanship than anything else? >> i think it's a good question and not one i can really answer. it is up to the president and white house to explain why he uses the words in the rhetoric that he does. that said, i want to emphasize again that he, despite a lot of that rhetoric, which of course, i clearly did not ignore at the dinner on saturday, he has given many interviews including to my organization. meat and two of my colleagues last week. and many others in the white house press corps it has granted many press conferences, as i said. so there is kind of a dichotomy there. we have to address both at the

correspondents association. >> jon: we spoke with senator orrin hatch of utah in the first hour of our program today and said he has been ripped 2 impressed with this president. listen to this. >> i'm telling you the guy is a very, very strong personality who really is not going to back down. he's not going to go and whimper on the sidelines. he's going to do the best he can to get it done. frankly, i've enjoyed working with him. i think he is one of the few people on earth who might be able to turn this mess around that we have in this country. >> jon: is it possible that reporters are not used to the kind of pushback they are getting from this president? >> you know what, i think there is pushback from every administration. there is pushback from every president, from every politician who does not like a coverage that he or she gets. that is a normal part of the process of being covered by the press when you are a public official. i think journalists are accustomed to that. i think our job is just to continue doing our job and to be truthful and correct mistakes if

we make them. that is a responsibility we have as well. >> jon: as i mentioned, that daily press briefing set to get underway about 248 minutes from now, jeff mason, president of the white house correspondents association and also a correspondent, thank you. >> jenna: today marks the sixth anniversary of the raid that killed usama bin laden at his compound in pakistan and many hoped his death would be a crippling blow to al qaeda and islamic terrorism overall, but the threat posed by jihadist groups remains high as the state department issued a new terror alert for americans traveling to europe this summer. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge's life in washington with more on this. >> the state department issuing this travel alert for europe today, warning u.s. citizens of the continuing threat of terrorist attacks as we head into the summer travel season. the alert reads in part "recently, widely reported incidents and france, russia, sweden in the united kingdom demonstrate the islamic state of

isis, al qaeda and their affiliates have the ability to plan and execute terroristic attacks in europe. extremist continue to focus on tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls and local government facilities as viable targets." recent data shows 2070 is on track to be a record year for terrorism arrest and suicide attacks. the attack in stockholm last month march europe's fourth attack in 12 months where the group used a vehicle as a weapon against civilians to cause casualties. a chairman said this morning that the bin laden raid years ago was the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new, diverse threat. >> most important way, the war on terror did not end with the death of usama bin laden. in fact, there have been more terror plots toward the west since his killing than at any time since 9/11. >> in the first four months of this year, the french and

british have seen a spike in the number of women who have been arrested connected to these plots. >> jenna: thank you. >> jon: a british jihadi who used a james bond-style device to store messages from isis will spend an extra eight years in prison. the 34-year-old has already spent eight years behind bars for story extremist data on usb sticks disguised as cufflinks among other offenses. officials believe needs more prison time. >> very dangerous individual. he operated primarily on the internet, classified as an internet terrorist. he provided a one-stop shop for terrorists around the world. >> jon: he confessed to five terror offenses including isis membership and being involved in terrorist training. his extended sentence includes five years of probation. >> jenna: knew threat from north korea as that u.s. antimissile system in south korea becomes operational, and congress gets ready to take action on the crisis. we are live with all of the

>> jon: fox news alert, we are awaiting the white house daily briefing and this one will have a bit of a twist. we expect mick mulvaney, the head of the office of management and budget, one of the budget hawks in washington, is going to take to the podium to talk about the budget deal recently reached and what lies ahead for september when we have to go through all of this all over again. so you will certainly want to be watching that, it's expected to take place 12 minutes from now, that is the announcement starting time, but they very often run late. we will take you there live in it begins. >> jenna: now this fox news alert on the north korea crisis with the rogue nation saying that the u.s. is pushing the road to the brink of nuclear war. just as eight u.s. missile defense system in south korea is

now operational. as you know, we have roughly 30,000 american servicemen and women stationed nearby and while the house takes up a bill on new sanctions against the north, president trump said he is open to meeting with the leader of north korea. benjamin hall is following the breaking developments live from london. >> the threats do not stop from north korea at the moment. every day, we are hearing something new. today, they say they want to accelerate their nuclear program and get it to maximum pace and try another nuclear device at any time. they are also coming out now and blaming the u.s., seeing the recent military provocations by america risk triggering nuclear conflict and say they were waiting for that moment they can reduce the whole of the u.s. mainland to ruin. the latest threat from left to reinstate media came hours after the two usb one lancer bombers blew training drills over south korean airspace with japanese bombers in another show of strength. japan has also now joined the alliance and has dispatched its biggest worship to the area appeared the helicopter carrier

is heading to refuel and resupply the uss carl vinson strike group which north korea has also threatened to destroy. today, china urged the u.s. in north korea to make contact as soon as possible and ease tensions. the call came after president trump opened the door to a possible future meeting with kim jong-un. saying that he would be honored to meet with kim at an unspecified future date if it would be appropriate. u.s. military officials also said today that the missile defense system is not operational in south korea and can now defend against north korean missiles, but its deployment has been met with opposition from china. over the last few days, we have seen president trump reach out to allies from singapore, thailand, philippines, japan, trying to get pressure both on north koreans but also on china to get involved because everyone keeps saying they are the key. >> jenna: benjamin, thank you. >> jon: republican leaders on capitol hill are working hard to live up the votes to pass a

revised health care plan in the house. will devote vote actually happened this time? it got squelched last time around, president and cyst that it will. thus another big ticket item on the republican agenda, tax reform. up next, we will talk to the congressman who heads the committee that writes the tax code. we are awaiting the daily white house briefing set to start just minutes from now. we will bring you there live when it begins.

>> jenna: fox news alert, president trump a short time ago in the white house rose garden touting the bipartisanship on reaching a spending bill agreement while at the same time getting it a shot at obamacare. this is the administration and republican leaders put on a full-court press for enough votes to pass a revised healthcare plan in the house. as we understand it, they are

reporting out that vice president pence is visiting capitol hill today to help along with the push. speaker paul ryan says he is optimistic. >> the purpose of our bill is to get more choices, lower prices, while preserving thick protections pre-existing conditions. that is a very important thing. we are excited about this policy. making very good progress with our members and the president has been instrumental in that. >> jenna: we expect hear more from the white house on healthcare when sean spicer begins his daily briefing. we expect that in 5 minutes or so. with more on the state of the house healthcare about and tax reform, we are joined by republican congressman mike breen, chairman of the house ways and means committee, so you are very busy, we appreciate the time, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> jenna: what is the state of the healthcare bill right now, the amendment? >> i think we are making progress. healthcare is personal and affects everybody so members want to know what each amendment, each step doesn't so

the more they learn about it yet understand not only do we keep pre-existing illnesses as the federal standard, the only way to change them if this date can prove it can do better for patients and healthcare. i think that is executive the right approach. i actually think states can bring innovative approaches to washington to allow them to do better healthcare for their families. >> jenna: interesting the way you put it is a little different than what we have heard. we have heard about the state waivers as if the states can sign off or say, i'm going to get out of this, but you are saying they would actually have to prove that they can do -- what with the proof have to look like? >> it is a much higher bar. a state would have to come to dr. price, secretary price, health of -- head of health and human services to prove they have a better way of handling patients with pre-existing illnesses including better coverage for more insurance plans to choose from or that they can now lower their premiums so it is more affordable, so for all the right

reasons, they can bring a better solution to washington. actually, i am hopeful that they do because frankly, i don't think obamacare covers people with pre-existing illnesses very affordably at all. >> jenna: there is a lot of debate about what the existing health care law is like for average americans, what this amendment might do, and as you mentioned, there is a desire by members to really understand the amendment that is being offered. we have heard different reports, wednesday, thursday. why do you need to vote on healthcare this week? what is the rush if they are still members deciding? >> i'm with you. i we ought to let consensus drive the timing on this. let's get people to the right place for the right reasons. members are really taking this seriously. i've seen all of these announcements on the web count as well, i do not think they are accurate, but we are having a ripe, healthy discussion. let them continue. let's work until we get, ground on this. >> jenna: are you are open to

pushing it a week or two or more? >> yes, let consensus drive the timing. i also think a really key thing is how does this affect tax reform which is the next big challenge. >> jenna: you lead me right into that, i want to ask this question that is an overreaching question on healthcare first before i get to tax reform. it applies to tax reform as well. our viewers have heard from republicans over the years all the criticism about healthcare, yet they are living under the healthcare law that lawmakers are criticizing. why should they have confidence that this is a solution that will really impact their lives for the better? why should they believe that republicans will be able to unite behind a common goal and a common law? >> let's start with the first part of that. why should people believe this will provide them better healthcare? we all know the horror stories of obamacare and how it is collapsing, which is true. it will not last long. a lot of good people will be hurt. but we already know how republican principles and healthcare work.

we have a medicare part d which is a prescription plan for seniors which is hugely popular made a big difference in lowering prices for seniors. we have children's health insurance program and medicare advantage, the most popular plan of medicare all driven by the same free-market possibles of choice and competition that we are offering here. so i am convinced that we bring these principles, not big government directed out of washington and high prices, that is what obamacare is, but choices driven from states, patients, focused on them with lower costs. i am confident we can deliver for the american people. >> jenna: interesting to hear that and also hear from you at the same time that there seems to be some undecided among conservatives and republicans that make stand for the same principles but feel some uncertainty about the amendment. we are waiting to hear from some of them, congressmen, but because you are so instrumental,

i want to ask about that. how does healthcare in your ability to pass or not pass an amendment to the healthcare law impact your ability to do major tax reform? >> it has an impact. one, obviously the momentum gets lost because of us not moving forward on healthcare. secondly, you have left a trillion dollars of very damaging tax burdens out there in the economy, so what it means is that as president trump and congressional republicans move forward with the boldest tax reform and a generation, as we finish that out, there would still be a chilean dollars of really bad tax hikes on the american people. that means tax reform will not grow the economy the way we wanted to do. it will hold it back. so i think it is very important for the most pro-growth, boldest tax reform to get the obamacare replacement and those taxes gone. >> jenna: i have to run but want to ask this quick, what is your expectation as far as a

timeline? put healthcare aside for a moment. what is the goal? >> the goal is one, to come together with a unified plan with the white house, the senate and house republicans. that dramatically increases the chances for success, and do it this year. i'm not worried about the month, i am focused on the year. 2017 is our best chance in 30 years. >> jenna: we will see what happens and check back with you, always great to have you on the program, we appreciate it very much. >> jon: as we await president trump's spokesman, the woman who wanted to be president is right now appearing in new york at a women for women event, being interviewed by cnn anchors, we are going to listen in for just a moment. >> jim mattis and others that will begin to influence the administration. >> i am sure everyone in this room, everybody in this country, frankly everyone in the world is

really afraid of the crisis with north korea. given to that effect everybody, including women, what do you make up president trump saying that he would be honored to meet kim jong-un? i ask you that seriously because their dirty little secret is that it will take negotiations with the north korean regime to actually come to -- i want your view on negotiation as a way to forge peace and not as a sign of weakness and appeasement. what do you think? year president bill clinton was the last person to actually negotiate and force an arms control agreement that worked with north korea. >> boy, how much time do we have? this is one of those wicked problems that people get the honor of holding a position like i did, really spend a lot of time on. as briefly as i can, let me say this. first of all, there has to be a

regional effort to basically incentivize the north korean regime, to understand it will pay a much bigger price regionally, primarily from china. if it pursues this reckless policy of nuclear weapon development and very dangerously for us, the missiles that can deliver those nuclear packages to places like hawaii and eventually the west coast of the united states. so i take this threat very seriously. but i do not believe that we alone are able to really put the pressure on this north korean regime that needs to be placed. the north koreans are always interested, not just kim jong-un, but his father before him. they were always interested in trying to get americans to come to negotiate, to elevate their

status and their position. we should be very careful about giving that away. you should not offer that in the absence of a broader strategic framework to try to get china, japan, russia, south korea to put the kind of pressure on the regime that will finally bring them to the negotiating table with some kind of realistic prospect for a change. as she said, there was a negotiation in the '90s that put an end to one aspect of their nuclear program. two ways to make it, plutonium, uranium, shutdown the plutonium, and then a few years later, there was evidence that they were cheating. i think there was -- and i have said this publicly before, i think the bush administration erred in saying they are cheaters, now we do nothing, they should have said, you are cheating, now we are shutting down your uranium program but because they withdrew from any kind of negotiation, the uranium

program started up. so negotiations are critical, but they have to be part of a broader strategy, not just thrown out on a tweet some morning, let's get together and see if we can't get along. maybe we can, you know, come up with some set of deal. that does not work. [cheers and applause] >> did the syria strike work? >> i think it is too soon to really tell. >> did you support it? >> yes, i did support it. i did not publicly because that was not my role, but i did support it. i am not convinced that it really made much of a difference. i don't know what kind of potentially backroom deals were made with the russians. we later learned -- >> jon: there's the headline, an opinion on the donald trump

syria strike there now this fox news alert from south carolina were former police officer has agreed to plead guilty on using excessive force and interest that left an unarmed black man dead. it began as a simple traffic stop for a broken tail light back on april 4th of 2015. it ended when walter scott was shot in the back as he ran away from slater. jonathan has more from american american 8. >> his defense team confirms the ex-cop will plead guilty to using excessive force in violation of federal civil rights law. the former north charleston police officer has faced federal and state charges in connection with the 2015 fatal shooting of walter scott, unarmed motorist who fled during a traffic stop. a bystander captured the incident on cell phone video. the images of a white officer gunning down a fleeing black man circulated on social media and prompted civil rights demonstrations.

last year, the state of south carolina tried slager for murder, but the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial. a state prosecutors had planned to retry slager, but that was before today's developments in the federal case. slager's lead defense attorney issued a written statement this afternoon saying that we hope that michael's acceptance of responsibility will help the scott family as they continue to grieve their loss. lawyers declined to comment further, but the associated press reports that it has obtained a copy of the plea agreement and that the documents show that state prosecutors are dropping their pending murder charge against slager as a result of this plea deal. as for his sentencing in the federal trial, that will be scheduled at a later date. >> jon: jonathan keeping an eye on that very sad story out of south carolina, thank yo thank you. >> jenna: keeping and i on the white house, but in the meantime, criticism mounting

after president trump invited the president of the philippines to the white house and a controversial leader is accused of widespread human rights violations in his country against drug users and journalists and even political opponents. rich edson is live from the state department with more. >> good afternoon, and just this weekend, the president of the united states invited rodrigo duterte the president of the philippines to the white house and floated the idea that he would be honored to meet with come jenna if there were the right circumstances but that white house stresses that currently the right circumstances do not exist. last month, he called the president of turkey, president recep erdogan to congratulate him on a referendum victory that helped him consolidate power and there are human rights concerns in that country appeared this as human rights groups and democrats have criticized the president for these moves. senator ben cardin is a top marker on the house foreign relations committee. in a statement he said, "i am deeply disturbed by the cavalier invitation to president duterte to visit the white house. this is amanda has posted publicly about killing his own

citizens, ignoring human rights will not advance u.s. interest in the philippines or any other place, just the opposite." the white house justification is that the u.s. needs to coordinate on the region's number one. north korea. >> the number one concern of this president is to make sure we do everything we can to protect our people and specifically to economically and diplomatically isolate north korea. >> the state department also notes there is a need for the president to discuss the north korean issue with the philippine government. in a statement, the state department official told us "we have discussed our concerns with the drug war in the philippines on multiple occasions with the philippine government. a constructive relationship with the government is critical to supporting the frank and open communication that characterizes our long-term alliance." as for whether duterte will accept the invitation to come to the united states, he says he has a very busy calendar. he is going to russia and

israel, so still unclear if he will actually make the trip and accept the invitation. back to you. >> jenna: thank you. >> jon: the ceos of united and american airlines testifying today before the house transportation committee after widespread outrage over how the airlines have recently treated some passengers. fox business networks adam is live in washington with more on that. >> good afternoon. more than 40,000 people were actually bumped against their will from fights last year, but it was the incident on board the united express last month that enraged passengers and congress, dr. david dao, you have seen the video, list buddy and injured when airport security forcibly removed him from his seat. united airlines ceo oscar -- he said that the airline, united had committed a serious breach of public trust because employees did not have authority to do what was right or use common sense. >> i am personally sorry for the

fact that my immediate response and the response of arrow airline was inadequate to that moment. no customer, no individual should ever be treated the way mr. dao was, ever. >> so united now offers up to $10,000 to customers willing to give up a seat and has a new no questions asked $1500 payment for passengers whose luggage is permanently lost. another incident, this went on american airlines, enraged passengers went eight flight attendant hit a mother holding a baby with a stroller. in american airlines' senior vice president told the committee that american will no longer remove a customer who has boarded an airplane. the committee asked several questions about the airline practiced over booked flights. southwest airlines is eliminating that practice, but other airline executives say that they need to continue overbooking flights to keep ticket prices low. finally, william mcgee, aviation consultant with consumers union, he told the committee that packed airplane

cabins, tight seats, it all shows the airline disregard for the concerns of passengers and in utter lack of respect. now buckle appeared back to you. >> jon: good phrase, and wait until you see this next story. thank you. >> jenna: speaking of incidents on plans, here is one that broke out on the tarmac in japan about to take off for los angeles. >> jenna: that doesn't look good, these causing a scene right before takeoff, attendance doing what they could to break up the fight, they say that you were arguing before the fight started, security did remove one of the men, that may later reportedly choked an airline employee at the terminal. police wasted no time arresting him for assault, see what they think, but thankfully happen on the ground because can you imagine being in the air from japan to los angeles and dealing with those two? >> jon: that is one of those

planes they have to put down on it ground in a hurry and over the pacific, that is not an option. you will let you know more about what happened there. in the meantime, president trump weighing on the growing threat from north korea. what he told our own eric bolling that nobody is safe. we are also awaiting the daily white house press briefing set to start, well, about 50 minutes ago. they usually are running late and are doing so today. when it begins, we will take you there live. it's been month after month of fiber. weeks taking probiotics! days and nights of laxatives, only to have my symptoms return. (vo) if you've had enough, tell your doctor what you've tried >> jon: as promised, sean spicer offering the daily white house press briefing, let's listen here. >> press secretary spicer: opportunity to talk about the admission priorities and how they are funded through the bill so today, we are going to have

secretary of home security john kelly talk about what is in the bill to protect the country and keep our borders safe. ironically, when the secretary is done, he has to get right to a meeting with the president to talk about the wall and the efforts he is making to drive down immigration, illegal border crossings. after he is done, director of management and budget mick mulvaney will come up to talk about the overall status of the president's priorities and the funding bill. then take your question speed without further ado, secretary of homeland security john kelly. >> i have talked to many in the media over the last 100 plus days about the things our department does on a daily basis to keep our nation safe. in the past 100 days, we have been incredibly successful in enforcing the law and defending the nation. i believe this budget will help us begin to improve the way we do business and how we accomplish our goals to make

this country more secure. the departments basic discretionary budget has $32.4 billion. we can never invest too much the security of our citizens and community is, in my opinion, we will be able to both sustain our border security operations and make improvements that will make us all safer. that includes hiring i.c.e. agents, improving cybersecurity, funding grants that support state and local communities, and funding the coast guard operations at $344 million above the fy '17 budget request. as promised, the budget will secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws. border security has three factors. you need people, technology, and you need infrastructure. this budget begins to provide -- begins to provide all three. it will help us replace see-through steel wall along the southwest border. it will help us put more enforcement aircraft in the skies. it will help us to deploy more

technology to stop illegal activity crossing our borders. it keeps us moving in the right direction, to a more secure united states. we have accomplished so much with the resources we already have. if i may remind you, apprehensions of illegal immigrants and criminals at the border are down significantly. but we need more to keep moving forward. this is our government's largest investment in border security in ten years. we are getting the tools we need or beginning to get the tools we need to make a change. but frankly, i am shocked at the behavior of some individuals and public service or public office that instead of celebrating how they have managed to reduce the amount of money for our border wall, a wall that will make us more secure, that will prevent drug smuggling, they are rejoicing in the fact that the wall will be slower to be built

and consequently are southwest border under less control than it could be. these appropriations provide a solid investment in the people, equipment, and technology that helps our department protect the homeland. we face a variety of hazards with man-made and natural factors, and this budget begins to help us confront them all. i would like to think, as i always do, all of the men and women of dhs who take on this often thankless, often dangerous, and often very, very difficult job. they do it every day superbly. i am proud to lead them. most americans appreciate what they do thank them everyday and. most public officials also appreciate and defend them, but many owe them an apology, many in public service who owe them an apology, infinitely many in the media. for how they disrespect them, disrespect them for what they do and how they service every day. with that, i would like to

introduce the director of omb, mick. >> let's get the important things out of the way first. thank you for being here. sean spicer says i cannot do this, but today is my anniversary. my wife is actually watching for a change, hi, i love you very much. it is my 19th anniversary. good, got that out of the way. believe me, i wish i were home and not here but as much as i enjoy you people. you cannot be home for your anniversary. those of you who know me know it is a miracle i've been married to anybody for 19 years. we are here today to talk about the bipartisan spending bill. i want to focus on that description first before we go into the details. a lot of folks have asked over the course of the last 24-48 hours with republicans in charge of the house and the senate and the white house, why do we need a bipartisan spending bill? one of the things i think is not being discussed as openly as it should is that this is one of those pills that requires 60

votes in the senate. so it is not like the healthcare bill. we have to have at least eight democrats support this in the senate which is why we have been working with democrats from the very beginning. yes, we could have passed a republican bill only out of the house, but it never would have passed out of the senate and then we would have been accused of not being able to function and run the government. so there is a very good reason we been working with democrats on a bipartisan bill and because we must, until the rules change, that is the environment we will continue to operate in. the democrats have been trying to claim victory on this, which i think is a very strange way to look at a bipartisan discussion. if you are in a bipartisan meeting, it's very unusual for one group to walk out and start spiking the football to say we went out and killed the other guys, and it does not bode very well for future discussions. but since the democrats have raised the issue to try to cast this as a democrat victory, it is important today and only fair to show you what is really in the bill and how the president

actually cut a tremendous deal for the american people. at the end of the day, that is who we think won in this discussion and negotiation, not the democrats, not republicans, but the american people. first, the list of things that republicans got in the negotiation. you heard a bunch of different numbers about the topline defense number. i've heard as low as ten or $12.5 billion for the number is $21 billion. that is what the additional defense spending is, $21 billion, made up of two numbers. $15 billion in a stand-alone overseas contingency operation account and another $6 billion that is hardwired into the underlying dod appropriations bill p this is an omnibus bill which means it is made up of different appropriations bills. one of them becomes part of this on the business is the defense appropriations bill and that bill is $6 billion for that spending so take the $6 billion in the underlying bill, the $15 billion added as a supplement, that is how you arrived at 21 will do mike

billion dollars. $15 billion is wrong. you could talk about a number as high as $25 billion if you wanted to compare it to fy 2016, but you could never go below $21 billion in that analysis which is a full two-thirds of what we asked for in the beginning. i would talk a little bit more later on about the dhs number, the 1.5 to $2 billion of additional spending, by the way. that is not all of the spending on border security pair the total dhs number when we finish will be north of $42 billion. one of the largest -- excuse me, the largest funding level for border security in the last ten years is what we will have at the end of this process. that is where the negotiation has taken us, to the largest spending on border security in ten years. we will go over the details of that in a second. coal miners health, one of my favorites. the democrats walked out of the room and said they protected the health of the coal miners, so did the president. he's been asking me since the day i got here for a way to fix

the miners' health issue problems they have an apalachee, and we were simply waiting for the opportunity to give it as part of a bipartisan discussion so we can get something in return. we were marked this as one of our victories in this particular bill. every single second amendment protection that we wanted and the democrats wanted to get rid of is still in the bill. every single pro-life protection that we wanted to keep in the bill and the democrats wanted out is gone. the most important, and those of you in the room and take the time to watch this during the day, understand and follow this business closely. we have reached parity, and those covering for a long time know what this means paired that means the past seven years, ever since the spending caps went on in the sequester came in, there was an unwritten deal on capitol hill which is for every dollar of defense spending the republicans hot wanted, they had to give $1 worth of nondefense spinning to the democrats. that was the deal that president obama was able to cut during his last years in office.

we got $21 billion of new defense spending for less than $5 billion of non-defense spending. go dollar for dollar. we got a dollar of spending and only gave $0.20 worth of nondefense discretionary. that is a tremendous development for this president and a huge win from a negotiating standpoint. think about that for a second, we've gone from a dollar per dollar to a dollar for just $0.20, plus part of that $4.545 billion is the stuff like. so the miners health is included in that number so even the stuff we gave away supposedly to get the defense spending was the stuff we liked in the first place. what did the democrats not get? there is no obamacare bailout money in this package, i read that in newspapers, see that in the news, go find it for me. it is not fair. what the democrats are telling you about that is false. there is absolutely no language in this bill that requires us to make any obamacare bill payments or cs are payments of any way,

shape, or form as a result of this deal. why are the democrats saying that? because it is what they told their base they would deliver, and they failed to do that for their base. that is not in the bill. there is no new money for puerto rico. you had the democrats pointing out that they got $29 million for puerto rico, not a penny of it is new money. all that money was already spent, actually part of obamacare under a previous agreement. that was sitting there unspent and all we agree to do was agree to let them move it from one place to another. did not cost the taxpayer a penny. they wanted new money, they wanted to bail out, we would not give it to them. we gave them money that was already appropriated and spent. no renewable energy subsidies. they wanted at the last minute, they threw in a demand for renewable energy subsidies for wind and solar and those types of things, we kept those out. they really did not get this. this is what they wanted.

they wanted a shutdown. we know that. they were desperate to make this administration looked like we could not function like we could not govern. and we know that a large part of their base, especially the left-wing base wanted a shutdown, and certainly did not want them to cut a deal with us. that is why you see them crowing about their success is to cover up the fact they actually cut a deal with president trump and president trump did a tremendous job. what are we talking about? more money for spending -- excuse me, more money for defense, border security, school choice, another thing we got. those of you here in march and saw me introduce our first version of our budget blueprint saw me talk about the president's priorities, what were they? defense, border security, school choice. the president delivered on his promises and got his priorities funded and that is what the democrats don't want you to know. they want you to think they won, but what they don't want you to know is that the american people won here because that president simply out negotiated them. i want to come back to one thing

and then get to questions. if i can bring the pictures up now, that would be great. you've heard me talk a lot over the last few weeks to say there are no bricks and mortar, there are no bricks and mortar for a wall, yes. we can build this. and we are going to build this. there are several hundreds of millions of dollars for us to replace cyclone fencing with 20-foot high steel wall. there are several hundreds of millions of dollars in the bill for us -- can we bring up the other photo please? do we have the other photo? there are several hundreds of millions of dollars for us to build levee walls along the southern border, in as many of you know who follow this issue, some of the most vulnerable issues we have are places where the rivers where we desperately need the levy for the production of the southern border that we need. we are building this now. there is money in this deal to build several hundreds of millions of dollars of this to replace this. that is what we've got in this deal. that is with the democrats don't want you to know. at this stuff is going up now.

why? because the president wants to make the country more safe. this does not stop drugs and does not stop criminals from crossing the border. in fact, it doesn't stop hardly anything from crossing the border. this does. that is what we got in this deal and why we're so excited about the opportunity we have to follow through on the president's promises to secure this other border. unless we have the other picture, i will take some questions. >> reporter: how do you say a fence will keep drugs from going over the border, they tunnel underneath? speak of the general left, this is the wall by the way that dhs said they wanted, sat in the oval office with the president, talked about bricks and mortar, concrete walls, this is what dhs wants. why? it actually works better. you can tunnel anything, i will answer your question. you can see through this one. it is actually safer. we have this in place now, and we do. it is actually safer for our border patrol agents -- you can talk to the dhs about the details, but there has been a dramatic reduction and attacks on our border patrol agents

where they can see through the wall because no one is throwing anything over-the-top at them. this is what dhs wanted. it is also half of the cost so we can build twice as much of it. this is a huge win for border security. >> reporter: the president as you know treated at this morning that looking ahead to fiscal year '18, a shutdown may be just the thing needed to clean up this budget mess. do you agree on that and can expand on that? speak i've been through a couple shutdowns. let me answer that question this way. that is a good discussion to have in september. i think the president is frustrated with the fact that he negotiated in good faith with the democrats and they went out to try to spike the football and make him look bad. i get that frustration because i think it is a terrible posture for the democrats to take. if we are sitting here trying to prove to people that washington is going to be different, we're going to change things in figure a way to work with them and they do that to this president, listen, i would have taken offense at that so does not surprise me at all that his frustrations were manifested in that way. we've got a lot to do between

now and september. i don't anticipate a shutdown in september. but if negotiations -- if the democrats are not going to behave any better than they have the last couple days, it may be inevitable. >> reporter: how would a shutdown clean up the mess? >> looks, there is a lot -- sooner or later, we have to do something different. i think i can make the argument, and i can, think i just did, that we have made something to medically different here today by getting rid of parity, going that dollar to dollar and getting to something new. that may help us change town a little bit, but if we get to september and it is still business as usual, business as usual, business as usual in nothing changes, takes a shutdown to change it, i have no problem with that. gentlemen in the back and the white tie. reporter mike thank you, mr. director. happy anniversary. >> i am sure my wife is really enjoying spending it this way. reporter mike a few weeks ago, the governor of mexico who is chairman of their governors t

the effort to get appropriations in the budget meant the administration was giving up on having mexico pay for the wall, as the president and other mexican politicians have repeated what the governor has said. what is your response to that? >> i have taken that question before, so i'll give you the same answer. look, we had an tune to move quicker than we expected. because president obama was not able to sign a full term cr in october of last year, we actually got a bite at the 2017 apple. think about that for a second. if president obama had been able to pass a 12 month cr in october 2016, we wouldn't even be here because all of this would have been dealt with and none of this would have been available. none of the additional spending for defense, school choice, none of that would have been there. we got an unexpected bite at the apple and we were happy to get it.
