deputy state department spokesperson and fox news contributor marie harf in today's #oneluckyguy, joe concha, a couch first timer. not nervous at all, i'm sure,

frankly, sticking up for ourng friends and our allies. >> mark: joe concha covers media for "the hille is something slightly deranged about this. wede have a specific threat to attack u.s. sovereign territory. and everybody is saying oh, trump is out of control. he's gone too far. >> you say it's deranged, i say the implication is intentional. if war does break out, we're being led to believe that any b conflict that happens is a result of donald trump taking office on january 20th.ar he's bombastic. suddenly nuclear weapons just appeared in the hands of north korea. he's talking smack and kim jong un is motivated to attack us. what is supposed to be forgottev is the three previous administrations, whether it beti clinton, bush, or obama, all of the measured rhetoric that went along with it. and the failure that happened as a result of north korea getting those nuclear weapons because appeasement and measured talks, that's called omission. donald trump said if anyone else said what i said, you wouldn't seeee the criticism of it. proof of it, secretary of defense mattis said one day af

deputy state department spokesperson and fox news contributor marie harf in today's #oneluckyguy, joe concha, a couch first timer. not nervous at all, i'm sure, but will remind you, as you sit there, you're outnumbered. >> joe: this is more like out dressed. one question before you jump in, you guys never match, you always have different colors on. somebody has first dibs on a certain color, i want to know who and how it works. >> sandra: team effort, it's a color wheel and you're not in i it. north korea now singable fire four missiles into the water of u.s. territory of guam after they fire over our ally of japa japan. the missile will hit the ocean 19-25 miles from the island. they say the plan could go to leader kim jong-un for approval as soon as this week. he'll have the final say on whether it's carried out. this, as north korea calls president trump's fire and fury warning "a load of nonsense." if those missiles are launched, washington would have to decide whether or not to intercept. robert matter weighing in earlier on "america's newsroom"" >> we've heard north korean leadership m

. >> sean: here with reaction, joe concha, fox news contributor mercedes schlapp., no sim cards, debbie wasserman schultz's case, uranium one, james comey, than the general counsel of the fbi, now unmasking with ben rhodes our big story tonight, that's all they still talk about. >> after the election we heard a lot about soul-searching that many media members said they were going to do because everybody got the election wrong. the reason why they did as they stayed in their ivory towers in washington and new york and didn't go out and get a true pulse of the country which focused on the economy, trade, immigration, foreign policy, those sorts of topics that people in wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan voted on. we continue to see after the fact after the soul-searching was supposed to be done, the same kind of coverage around palace intrigue and more importantly the provocative, negative personal attacks on the president like you just showed in that montage it's all part of this i really want to say something provocative so i get root stomach retweeted and get

joe concha is a media reporter for "the hill." joe, what's going on?> judge booth, good to see you. lisa: even before the storm hit we had salon criticizing trump's handling of the storm before it even hit. >> do you think so far -- do you think at least initially, do you think the trump administration, fema and u.s. government has hand this in a meticulous, proactive fashion? lisa: yes. >> do you think she is going to write maybe i got it wrong? maybe the president deserves credit here? lisa: i think she'll dig in further. if i was a betting woman. >> i would bet mcgregor would knock out mayweather before that happens. >> the storm turned into a climate change. it has to do with stalling out over texas. the track of a storm has nothing to do with climate change. but i saw the pivot to a news dump. lisa: which every president does. we saw the transgender bathrooms, transgender military, the pardoning of joe arpaio. doesn't every president do it? >> every president does it, and the fbi does it. the friday news dump has been happening for years and years

kat timpf is back in the house along with "the hill" reporter joe concha, and ben kissel. s talk about joe arpaio. why is this so problematic? why does this pardon create so much tension in both parties. >> you have a constituency within the trump base, the overpolicing is a massive problem all across our country. joe arpaio is the definition of the prison planet and the reason why individuals like alex jones have a career. i think this is a total slap in the face to that base and those constituents. i see this as red meat. perhaps he feels he needs to get those people he disparaged. perhaps a little red meat for them to get back in their good graces. kennedy: it's red meat for the base. when we heard flirtations of that pardon, i thought president will wait a few years. it's rare to have a first year, first term big-name pardon, but then we are talking about president obama who loves throwing political grenades. >> i agree with everything that's said. but in terms of reporting we need some precedent here. every president pardons bad people. right? you can even go back to t

and joe concha joins knee. how did mitch mcconnell not realize the comments he made at the rotary club in kentucky would be turned around? >> if you mean that pain is temporary? that sounds where he says expectations were too high. seven years you are the guy who set those expectations. there are sound bites of you on the senate floor talking repeal and replace day one. kennedy: what is mccouldn't's strategy if he's going to avoid a prolonged fight. this is just the kinds of enemy he likes. whether it's hillary clinton or the media, mitch mcconnell and his clumsy comments are taylor made. -- tailor made. >> this is such a prime example of what's wrong with washington. we heard for years repeal it. no, let's do anything we can to stop this from happening. it goes to the supreme court. we are angry it wasn't taken down there. now you have got the president, you have got majority, and what did they do? screw it up again. there is no defense for this. i hope the voters, they are the ones being told no you are not g

[laughter] joe concha, thanks for being here. >> the one-liners on the show today were great. "happening now" starts now. >> melissa: a fox news alert, u.s. special operations troops under direct fire recently in northern syria. fortunately, no u.s. forces were hurt and pentagon officials say they are not sure who was doing the shooting. >> jon: military engagement highlights the dangers our troops face in the complex battle. we are covering all the news, happening now. >> our new president has not been in this line of work before. and i think i had excessive expectations. >> jon: president trump fires back today after those comments from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. frustrations mount over the lack of progress on l-uppercase-letter. new details on and isis plot. while revelations about the terrorist methods are sparking new cause for concern. and this man accused of poisoning home owners drinking water. the alleged act seemingly caught on camera. it is all happening now. we begin with a fox news alert, north korea channeling its threats into an actual battle plan,

joining us from the hill, joe concha and rachel campos-duffy. be sleeping so much better now. congress is gone, the senate is gone. he's out of town for the refurbishment of the white house. getting things ready. the senate finance committee work. wait a minute. none of those things are happening. i'm sorry. why isn't the congress and senate doing any kind of work on tax reform right now? >> i think that' getting done. they are not in washington and not working. last friday my husband was here in our district with secretary perdue, the secretary of agriculture. they are working when they are home. the deals are getting home behind the doors. phone calls are getting done. lou: rachel how can you say behind doors. how can you say that? >> you know what i mean. they call each other and get on board. just because they are not inside their office -- lou: that's unfair of me, i admit it. that was unfair of me. joe, do you feel better knowing they are getting rested up for the big charge ahead? they have big days of legislative activity when they come

joe concha, judy miller, thank you for being here. >> molly: molly, as you point out to, there is much to recover from, there is the flooding in houston, but this is rock port texas, where the hurricane came ashore as a category 4, the destruction of 140-mile-an-hour winds, drone coverage coming here. each one of these homes destroyed is a story. there is nothing left in these places here, and you can see that these were apartment buildings, this one completely decimated. not much left. and we first responders going door to door, kicking in doors making sure that there was no one trapped inside of these communities, but the recovery effort begins with trying to clear the roads. as you can see, the roads are flooded, first clear the roads, then all of the sudden you need to bring power back in. you need to bring cellular communications back in. only then, can the rebuilding process take place. they are talking about to the rebuilding process in houston, rockport, taking years. and when you see the totality of the devastation coming you understand why. and of the rain continues to come d

joining us from reaction, joe concha and kayla mcelhinney. literally said, if he found a cure for cancer, it wouldn't be good enough for these people. >> that's right, what you just played, what you just said in your monologue, it is so sad. this is a national tragedy. i would hope we could have a moment where we are a political and pro-american. you have some of these reporters out there tweeting about melania trump's heels. where were the tweets about the salvador family, for children swept away in their van and all lost their lives. where were the tweets about officer steve perez who lost his life at 4:00 a.m., took to the streets else to help americans. these are heroes, we need to rally around these victims, lift up the victims instead of tearing down the first lady because of her shoe choice, this is absurd. >> sean: in the media camp, i love the people who are media critics like that guy at "the washington post" ," with hs 30,000 30,000 twitter followers as if we care. he said he could do a tv show of his life depended on it. when it b
