>> new peace plan on the trip overseas and he draftedp a pretty busy day in israel on the second stop of the. >> and keep on churning you see 'rundown on the side of the screen what we're talking about 5@630 you can tweet us what is on your mind 5@630. let's get to it. >> these leaders voice concerns we all share about isis, about iran's rising ambitions and rolling back its gains and about the menace of extremism that has spread through toma
6:31 pm
muslim world and i'm encouraged that they pledge cooperation to confront terrorism and hateful ideology that drives it so hard. >> and trump on to the next country after a second stop at first trip overseas as commandner chief and president pushing peace plan and israeli prime minister welcome u.s. and ideas. >> let's bring in now political professor at howard dr. michael foughtroy and am bar door to boughtrain adam berelli i hope i said your name correctly. michael let me start with you. to sar we wrapped upgrade two what grade would you give the president so far on first trip abroad as commander in chief. >> well as professor who tends to grade a little more harshly i would be hard pr pressed to go beyond c minus. i say that in part because this really strikes me as app arm's deal wrapped in
6:32 pm
international dip mromcy and big story so far is 110 billion arms deal which could fwloon 50 billion over a course of decade and while i get there are economic benefits to american economy behind that we should also remember that saudi regime has been harsh in dealing with people we know that many of 9/11 attackers came from saudi arraignia and on top of that mr. may be evidence saudi regime has helped to support some of the actors that want to act against american interest and at least from that standpoint there is a lot to be excited about. >> let's bring in am bar door for his take on this. and first i want to give you chance to weigh in adam. >> well, i'm not professor i don't grade papers. but i would belittle more generous than c minus. i would give him somewhere
6:33 pm
look this trip is about a lot more than arms deals. this trip is about reorienting and strategic relationship of the region through its pass 50% ever the world's oil supply and even though we don't need oil the rest of the world economy does and therefore it's strategic choke point of absolute capital importance seingtd of all, you know, his trip to israel reaffirming a ironclad alliance and ironclad partnership and suffered wear and tear and bruises under the previous administration. the big question that you would report is does trump have a plan for peace between israelis and palestinians and if he does no one has seen it yet. >> by the way let's play that sound for benjamin netanyahu as the two leaders
6:34 pm
>> i want to you know how much we appreciate and american policy on iran which you annunciated clearly an hour ago i want to you know how much we appreciate your bold decision to act against the use of chemical weapons in syria to tell you also how much we appreciate the reassertion of american leadership and middle east and for the first time in my lifetime i see a role hope for change. all right we heard a lot of love from benjamin netanyahu to president trump and their relationship goes back quite a ways and big headliner or talker that came out this today is after this was all over the president was talking with reporters and he said, you know, i did not use the word israel talking about that oval office meeting he had with the russians where he revealed some sensitive information which all
6:35 pm
came from israeli intelligence. do you think that behind the scenes this is issue? was this no-no with all this going on today. >> i don't know if it's an issue or no-no but it does speak in my opinion to some of the naivety through what approaches certain things. you don't have to say something directly to say something. if he does not get that, then i'm a little concerned about what his thinking is on the handling of sensitive material even going back to the preinauguration pier period.. so i'm worried about that and we should also remember that prime minister netanyahu effectively endorsed mitt romney in 2012. seems to me any attempt he would have to sort of be critical of president obama approach to israel would probably be something to take advantage of. >> on that note there was i lot made about the fact that president obama didn't seem to have much interaction with benjamin netanyahu
6:36 pm
assumed the office through the years. >> they had a lot of interaction and actually, you know, obama met with him as many if not more times than previous leaders. and i think it's worth pointing out that american security assistance to israel reached unprecedented levels of closeness and sensitivity during obama years. but there was clearly a personal chemistry between them that did not work and i think what netanyahu said in remarks with trump that they appreciate america's new reassertion of its leadership in region is a real dig at obama who both arabs and israelis sort of think walked away from the table and left the region to others such as i ran and russia. the real question to me is leadership is great. but you have to lead and do something and what's not cle
6:37 pm
is beyond saying we're going to fight terror and beyond saying we're going to work with arabs and beyond saying we'll have peace what's the plan to carry through on and fulfill the manltle of leadership which trump had so enthusiastically assumed. and that's the really hard question and the answers are going to be defined but what america does or does not do in the year to come. >> we know tomorrow he'll be traveling to the west bank and meet with palestinian leader and he wants top broker bigger and better deal than any other american president has been able to pull off. michael, do you agree that there needs to be some sort of plan presented for all this? >> you can't do anything without a plan, shawn. and while we are talking here about leadership it's also leadership to one end. he says one thing but we've often heard him say things before that are not in line to his actual real goal and so time will tell, we cannot make yo
6:38 pm
this just yet. and i'm more than a little skeptical that the president actually has a plan to get to where he wants to government. >> all right ambassador adam morellii and -- thank you. >> when the presidet is off on first foreign trip as is now the administration is dealing with laundry list of issues in washington. >> including everything from russia probe and ronica cleary that's one. >> however you feel about president policies there have not been a lot of negative headlines out of this train. at least not yet. when the president comes home he will certainly be returning to a lot of those negative headlines. especially ones related to special council appointed to investigate collusion between trump campaign in russia. i sat down with the chair of the american conservative union organizing cpac each year conservative political action conversation and after
6:39 pm
we spoke about trip abroad we spoke about president's return to many ever the negative head blinds and how best to handle them. take a listen. >> you know if i were them i would be incredibly concerned and by the same token, just like in life, when you have something that is really debilitating or bothering you you still have to focus on what you're trying to get d done. you know? and that's what the president has to do and that's what his administration has to do. focus on agenda and fully participate and be respectful of the investigation and if you have nothing to lied then don't be defensive and i don't think they have anything to hide and just keep communicating to the american people and to the world about what we want to get done. >> little advice there from shlap one agenda item happening at home while the president is away the budget. expected to be released tomorrow reports say it willen include hundreds of billions of cuts to medicade along with cuts to other social programs and now the reason for
6:40 pm
balance federal budget in ten years. omb director mic molvani helped a press briefing and have to be can't be released until 9 p.m. tonight and he took questions on the budget and however there is no on cap camera briefing scheduled for mulvany tomorrow to answer questions once budget is released. of course we'll be following it and keeping you updated on 5@630. back to you jim and shawn. >> thank you ronica no doubt people will talk about that. there's reports that 800 million dollars in cuts to medicade and federal pinch hands and other key things folks have a lot to say and a lot of questions how this impacts lives as this budget passes. >> there was a lot of debate. again the budget will change over time. but during the election itself candidate trump said quite a bit i'm the one that will preserve medicade and medicare and the others are the one that want to cut it and we'll
6:41 pm
transspirz and it seems like budget itself a starting point and what finished products sometimes look more like original. oui see what happens. >> let's talk about the weather it's doomy and gloomy. >> doomy. >> doomy. >> wow. >> i'm stealing that. >> i made that word up. >> i'm going to steal that line. >> doomy, is that not a word. >> it could be. >> i think you need a hyphen in there somewhere. >> gloomy and damp may have been good combination. we ended on drier note and we're not done with rounds of rain. so here are weather headlines just a passing shower tonight. mostly just cloudy and kind of doomy. we're going to see showers returning though likely tomorrow afternoon for most areas. it will be asystem tracking up from the southwest to northeast. and timing is a little bit tricky on it but i would keep umbrella handy in the afternoon and some places may see it later in the morning. so, around spotsylvania you'll have to watch because it may get to your area a little sooner and the pattern
6:42 pm
little soggy and it's not all the time rain but it's going to be about three rounds ever rain we'll have to get through before we get to friday. and friday, right now, looking like it will be dry and things are warmer and sunnier as we head into the memorial day weekend. may not be totally dry and could be dodging a couple thunderstorms and the pattern will be better by late week. meanwhile enjoy rounds of rain. shawn, jim, back to you. >> merriam webster says doomy is indeed an adjective however bottom 20% of words it's suggestive of doom. so that's why i never heard of it. >> doesn't matter look that's a word that is all we need to know. thank you webster's dict dictionary. >> exactly. >> what do supporters think now that president has settled into the white house and we'll look at ambitious project asking voters how the business mogul we'll ask they helped them win and what they think about the job he's done so far. we'll be right back.
6:45 pm
>> months after president dep shall election people are fascinated with how president trump won. >> this is what happened on the date blue states turned red and red turning twelve. examining key counties with his brother beyond an a documentary filmmaker they're here at 5@630. >> good to have us. >> thank you which one is jord plan is that's me. >> he's old are by nine minutes. >> and this really is a fascinating exploration of sentiment this country because there were places that everybody thought hillary clinton would win and she did not win. >> right we -- trump america project objective is to basically better understand people and places that put donald trump in white house. so we identified nine counties throughout nine different states that were crew sthool trump winning election or interesting in kind of explaining trump phenomenon and
6:46 pm
counties for the next three and a half years trying to better understand who these people are and values and priorities and how they change over time. >> give us an idea what the nine counties are and where they are. >> sure. well robinson county north carolina we've been to and e eary county pennsylvania and coons county new hampshire and one in wisdom martin, iowa, utah, california, and florida. and i think that's mine and the first one we went to the first county we went to robinson county north carolina which is poor county and but it's also the most racially diverse county in the whole country. >> oh, wow. >> 70% minority and 40% native american lumbi he native american and 4 years ago they voted barack obama by 17 percentage points. now in november they voted for donald trump by 5 percentage points. it's interesting we sat down with middle aged
6:47 pm
locklear native american and as we interviewed him life long democrat he actually had a bobblehead of president obama over his shoulder on the mantle behind minimum and framed picture of obama family yet he voted for donald trump. now unpacking that story and reasons why he did that, because there are thousands of mark locklears around the country and we need to know what these people are and priorities and challenges. >> are these people in your estimation that we hear the media ignores voices and the concerns of these people who were reliably blue voteers in past and are no longer. >> we found over and over people say we want a voice. and that's when we're there to do is give them a voice. they feel ignored and left behind by the media especially. >> when you talk about western pennsylvania we're talking about this before on the air you know that's an area mr. were so miney mines for example they closed and no presidential candidate came in before and said we
6:48 pm
reopen them deposit say how they planned that but for the first time there were candidates that echoed concerns. >> two counties we've been through robinson and eary in western pennsylvania both devastated by free strayed treatment and loss of manufacturing and trulp comes as republican unique in this regard and saying hey we renegotiate and bring job back and be there and we talked to people in manufacturing and we want a chronicle whether those jobs come back and if not who do they plame and if they do who do they give credit to. it would be interesting. >> is it too early now. the two counties you visited thus far do we know or is it early it voters are still on the trulp train or have they changed mind or where do they stand now. >> pretty are bsh people are pretty patient. this is antidotal we have not done polling but from what we found they're tuping out a lot of palace intrigue of who is up and who is down in white house and different tweets and scandals that we obsess over
6:49 pm
and they're going to give them time. i think if voters do end up abandoning trump it will take a while for that. >> let's be honest when you say antidote alley i mean that's where the media dropped the ball by sticking with polling numbers out there not going into areas and saying what are concerns and bit way when you're out on the road we want people to follow along so you have information on the screen. this shhow you follow along trump on washington and examiner.com. >> anything you want the audience to know they takes you three more years to get through all this. >> through the first time. >> have fun. >> thank you. >> how is the food on the road. >> probably will gain about 30 pounds. be careful with that. >> thanks for coming in we appreciate that. >> in the meantime a new twist in the mirk alflynn fallout. we'll have a closer look at it when 5 at 630 comes back
