i want to unpack all of this with my dear friend, brendan greeley. want to unpack all of this but i want to start on the twitter front. over the weekend, ivanka trump tweeting since donald trump inauguration, over 1 million new jobs have been created in the american economy. #maga. that stands for make america great again. what is she speaking about, make america great again? president trump's jobs numbers are on the exact same trajectory that obama's we are and in fact they're less than obama's were at this time period last year. >> yeah. i would say #context. the problem with the jobs number, the total number of jobs created, is it's very easy to take that number out of context and have it mean something when it doesn't really mean a lot. this is something barack obama and his white house did a lot, jason fuhrman, they would talk about all the jobs they had created over the course of his presidency. his presidency started in the deepest trough we've had in the economy since the 30s. now we have the same problem with donald trump, he looks at 209,00

number of interceptor missiles in the guam and japan areas as well as in south korea, alaska at fort greeley, vandenberg air force base in california to be sure if we misjudge the sanity of north korean leadership, a rogue missile we can take down before it injures any americans on american soil. connell: one issue come up in your senate race. there are others. i want to talk to you about that for a few minutes. an important's for seat once held by the attorney general. president trump who we were just speaking about endorsed your opponent in the race, luther strange. you, do you have a message for the president on that? >> yeah. i don't think that his endorsement of luther strange furthers the agenda of president trump. by way of example, just yesterday president trump was going after mitch mcconnell for do-nothing senate. if that is the case, why do you endorse a person who is going to continue what the senate has been doing, and in fact is opposite the president on 60% rule in the senate that empowers chuck schumer around democrats to block every single conservative bill, every single rep

greeley, alaska, and the pentagon had actually kicked off in may of this year what it's calling its ballisticle defense review increasing missile defense was a trump administration priority, and so that's exepected to repot out by about the end of the year and north korea and iran recent launches definitely raise the stakes in that regard. i would say protecting the homeland from these kinds of threats is a bipartisan issue. it doesn't break along party lines, and any administration, whether it would be trump, clinton or anyone else would be moving in the same direction. >> well, congress is going to have to hammer all of this out after the august recess before october 1st to avoid a government shutdown to get that budget going what the kind of increase are you looking at realistically and politically for defense spending in particular? >> right i think the defense hawks have proposed a significant increase. senator john mccain, congressman max thornburgh in the house. they are looking at something well to the 15% to 20% range, you know, an annual $640 billion a year i don't think politically
