kennedy: that's right.have their view of the world tainted by the bad they see in people every single day. >> that they put up with it, i'm surprised they don't go crazy sooner because it's every day. kennedy: you are named after pork rinds. cracklins we call them in indiana. >> when i cape home from the hospital my uncle looked in the crib and said i looked like a little cheech ano. when we were coming up with a name for our duo. richard and tommy. marin and chong. chong on marin. they said do you have a nickname? i said cheech is my nickname. so it was always cheech and chong. kennedy: jeff sessions has been hard-core on marijuana. he said good people don't smoke pot. >> he must not be a good people then. mr. peanut. he's back off of that position now. he's smart. he doesn't want to go against 34 state. he's either states rights or he's not 80s rights. kennedy: you can't have it both ways. billionaires jeff bezos and he odelon musk on a mission to mar. are allergies holding you back? break through your al

i'm kennedy. the gas attack in syria is the latest in a long line of horrific tragedies and th the-year-long civil war. is this something we want to get involved in? welcome back, ambassador bolton. obviously the president is outraged. and there are some horrific facts we are learning about that chemical attack. and the obvious response is, let's go over there and do something by the. but the problem is what follows if we go over and do something by the, what would your response be? >> this atrocity should be take in the bigger strategic context that's different from what barack obama faced. obama's strategy against isis had not brought him to the point where the destruction of isis in iraq was in contemplation. and we didn't have to face the question that the trump has to face, what comes after the defeat of isis. obama was never serious about getting rid of the al-assad regime. syria's allies iraq and russia were critical to get the nuclear deal with iran. you put these factors together, isis wi

kennedy: i agree. there is a diplomatic road to solving this crisis which seems to be getting worse by the week and by the day, it's through china. brian, is this the kind of thing where the youth continues to thwart missile attempts or do we wait for a first strike? >> the north koreans would consider anything a provocation at this point. we have been kiting these checks fo25 years. and they come due 59 this point. the bill is a pretty steep one. the openings of kinetically interdicting their missiles. they would take that as a provocation. the north koreans have been prepared for 50 years to recommence a large ground assault and it wouldn't end until they occupied the entire peninsula and you would see one of the world's most vibrant economies disappear within days. it's hard to see a non-kinetic way out of this. china, in spite of what people think. china is not prepared for the kind of losses they would take in a ground conflict with the north koreans. they want to choke off the purse strings. kenn

kennedy: welcome back. our dear friend and colleague gerri willis has been battling breast cancer for nearly a week. she has been back on the air for a while breaking business news on fbn and doing amazing gular job. but you may have noticed she has been sporting a different hairstyle. she has been wearing a wig as she recovers from the treatment, including chemotherapy. but she is ready to reveal that glorious natural springtime cut. gerri willis in all of her beautiful glory, you look incredible. >> thank you for having me. kennedy: you are such an amazing person, and all you have been through with so much grace and strength. there is something true lire amazing of cower body going through the profound effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. then the miraculous thing happens when your cells regenerate and you grow your own hair. very few people have your bone structure and the ability to carry off his incredible haircut. >> it's been a real journey. i had a mastectomy of my right breast. they cut

i'm kennedy. speaking of cutting costs. thomas massie, he's got an armful of freedom and a fistful of liberty dollars. congressman massie, what did you think of the unveiling of the tax proposal today? >> i like trump's plan better than the house republican plan. the house republican plains what they call revenue neutral which means when you cut somebody's taxes you are going to raise somebody else's taxes the exact same amount. trump's tax plan decreases taxes. i think it's got a lot of good ideas in it. kennedy: i agree with you on revenue neutrality. i think that's a false prophet. we need to stop worshipping at that altar. if you chained them together, it make the whole thing much less effective. let's talk about some of these taxes. one of the things i like, the idea of repealing the death tax. this is something libertarians and conservative republicans have talked about for a long time. will this get done? >> democrats will say that's a tax cut for the rich. one thing i like in there is he raises the standard deductio

i'm kennedy.hould the feds recognize the direction the smoky winds are blowing county country tore try to put -- blowing the countrier try to put out the weed. we were supposed to have the co-founder of dcmj, the group that helped legalize marijuana in washington, d.c. but he was arrested at a pot rally today on capitol hill. he spearheaded an effort to hand out 1,000 joints. instead his hands are in little silver cuffs. let's talk about the issue. i think there are a lot of people hop watch the show who are with those 60%. i don't smoke marijuana, i don't partake in any sort of h sd. but i do d any sort of thd. but i do see friends and relative who have been helped by medical marijuana. >> the poll said 49% for legalization. but the tide has been turning and i'm not going to doubt that. medical marijuana if it's for cancer pain and six months to live. i don't care if they want to use heroin, meth. if it comforts our last few nos we don't want anyone to be suffering. the average medical marijuana

i'm kennedy. it should be obvious to anybody who has ever paid taxes that the system needs to be fixes. is there any chance of that happening with this congress? and where should she start? nick gillespie joins me to talk tax on the eve of the tax bill coming due. do you think people clamoring for the president's tax returns, are they looking in the wrong place? >> the real question about taxes, we need to start getting back to the idea that taxes is the revenue that's supposed to pay for all government services that we want. we have been borrowing so much money, we are only collect 75 do 80 cents for every dollar the government spends. we are getting a dollar's worth of spending for every 75 cents. if the price of government went up we would demand less of it. most of the services we get we don't really need or their substandard. kennedy: you have two parties in power that share the love of spending. they just want to spend more. no one is talking about that idea. what if you paid for the work of

kennedy: thanks to people like you.stration operating smoothly or are they acting like a bunch of pre-teen siblings. time out for everyone. that's next. no, i'm scheduling time to go oto the bank to get a mortgage. ugh, you're using a vacation day to go to the bank? i know, right? just go to lendingtree.com. get up to five loan offers to compare side by side for free. wow, that's great. wait, how did you get in my kitchen? oh, i followed a raccoon in through your doggie door. [chittering] [gasps] get a better mortgage on your schedule. not the bank's. lendingtree. when banks compete, you win. just think of him as a big cat. [chittering] with rabies. kennedy: president trump apparently getting tired of all the in-fighting inside the white house. he's apparently cracking the whip. he has ordered his aides to focus on the agenda instead of giving each other nuggies. getting his chief strategist steve bannon and his son-in-law jared kushner to finally work together. the two men do not get along. and it comes as we approach

kennedy: i share your optimism. i agree that that is how we'll move the economy forward as we get the government out of healthcare. that can flourish and hope any the next step lawmakers take will be with our best interest and the economy's best interests. thank you for taking the time we appreciate it. kennedy: the new tax plan by one account could add $7 trillion to the deficit. the government need money to operate. if you slash income, presto, you have a recipe for deficit spending. we would need economic growth of 4.5% to fill the gap. that's pretty much double what it's at now. what are the budget hawks to do. let's talk about it with kat timpf joined by pete hegseth, and fox news anchor julie banderas who is the secret to my thanksgiving weight loss and i'll always love her for it. julie: you kept it off, too, which i'm proud. kennedy: let's talk about this. the thing that concerns me here, i don't like the idea of revenue neutrality. it's a disingenuous term. but if you are spending a lot of money and cutting

i'm kennedy. kennedy: what happened to repeal and replace. arizona congressman and freedom caucus member david schweikert joins me. welcome. i've got some questions because i was not a big fan of the first version of the aa hca. i spoke with your counterpart who happens to be a conservative from california. he said he had problems with it but he was ready to support the first draft. why are you in favor of something that is so similar to obamacare. >> you have this world we now live in and there is a thing called math. the problem is as soon as we said, hey, guaranteed issue, people with pre-existing condition have an issue, you've already created the box. now the debate is who pays for it. we've already created the limitation. that is to say we are now a country that has guaranteed issue. we've had it for business, medicare, medicaid, tribal healthcare, va for many years. now it's for the timing tiny sliver of the population that buys in the individual market. now they have guaranteed issue.ç now it's all about how do you pay for it. kennedy

kennedy: welcome back.re are two highly flammable situations hearing from up on opposite sides of the world. north korea. officials declaring a thermal nuclear war may break out at any moment as they vow to test missiles on a weekly basis. some lawmakers are preparing for an emergency attack on our own soil. and sources say bashar al-assad attacked his own people killing 10 people in an air strike today. the president said we'll see what happens the next time north korea tests a missile. my next guest says if the president is ready to take action in one of these countries, he's not legal are you able to do so. it's great to have your advice and clarity in these a situations. a lot of people have questions. we have spoken about the legal challenges in syria. you are saying our country and theirs are signatory to the same treaty. so fit makes it problematic for a preemptive strike. judge napolitano: there is almost no circumstance under which he could legally attack syria short of getting a resolution from th

kennedy: should america get involved in syria? republican lawmakers at home facing angry constituent after failing to repeal and replace obamacare. chris stirewalt is here with more. what can we learn from florida's embrace of school choice. is there a chance it will ever go national? grab a notebook. once again a show of force in syria is turning into regime change which leads to nation building after pro tacted conflicts, civilian casualties and unacceptable levels of death by an administration who won't tackle the problems in this country. in 2013 president trump questioned the cost in blood and treasure but also the constitutional authority of single branch action in. >> the crowded theater. russia still backs bashar al-assad and opposing him won't happen with russia riding in our war-happy side car. it remains to be seen how keen tillerson's diplomatic powers are as he visits russia. other than provoking a nuclear power, the youth has to consider what a syria policy is and if anyone is rationally bending the president's ear.

i'm kennedy. all right, former obama national security adviser susan rice went on msnbc claiming she, quote, leaked nothing to nobody. >> this is not anything political has been alleged. the allegation is that somehow obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. that's absolutely false. >> i don't know if that's absolutely false, and not everybody is buying that line. from a legal perspective, should susan rice be nervous? judge andrew napolitano is here fox senior judicial analyst. welcome back, judge. >> thank you. she should be nervous if unlike the clinton investigation the fbi does the right thing, the evidence justifying an investigation is overwhelming. have you what appears to be the political use of intelligence data, a felony. have you what appears to be the public unmasking of a person either intentionally or incidentally caught up in surveillance. we're talking about general flynn or president trump. >> or jeff sessions. >> correct. unmasked in private a

kennedy: thanks to people like you.the trump administration operating smoothly or are they acting like a bunch of pre-teen siblings. time out for everyone. that's next. my business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? then you're a couple. think of all you'll share... like snoring. does your bed do that? the dual adjustability of a sleep number bed allows you each to choose the firmness and comfort you want. so every couple can get the best sleep ever. does your bed do that? for a limited time find clearance prices on the cse bed. now only $1399 - save $500. only at a sleep number store or sleepnumber.com at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this.

kennedy: it's a bad offer. obamacare sucks and maintaining the subsidies won't get that corpse to rise and dance its paths off. the president knows the subsidized system needs to be flushed. so propping up a bad system is ransom to a politically toxic and expensive wall somehow makes it right? with the 100th day looming, the president has to pull off a miracle to keep at wall running. if he can pull it off it would be the most successful presidency in modern history. all the socialized medicine in america may not be enough to heal him. i'm kennedy. president trump and republicans have a lot on their plates. will the president have his first big legislative victory in tim carney is visiting fellow at the american enterprise institute. let's talk about this spending plan to head off the big government shutdown. what do you think the likelihood is there is wall money in that legislation? >> it's an indication of what i warned during campaign. trump is going to take on the lobbyists because it's such a deal maker i

i am kennedy. the first amendment clearly under attack but why now and what can be done to stop the irrational critics? judge anthony napolitano fox judge -- fox senior analyst. >> i can't think of a better summary of the parameters of the freedom of speech than the statements you just gave which was truly excellent and right on the law and the constitution. the first amendment was written not to protect the speech we like but the speech we hate and fear. the speech to be like doesn't need protection because we like it so for anybody whether it's a physician or a politician to say that hate speech is not protected and we will decide wh speech is heful that's totalitarian. all speech is protected. all innocuous speech is protected in all speech is innocuous when there is time for more speech to challenge it or rebut it before the harm it commands comes about. the speakers speaker says to the crowd there's hillary, let's get her and some lenses are you crazy place you can incite violence. the speaker

kennedy: what is common about being a kennedy? the irony is, i kept my family secrets, my mother's alcoholism, my dad self-medicating through posttraumatic stress, all to myself, not realizing that all of these things were written about in books all through the bookstore. yet i was paralyzed by the silence in my family that you don't talk about these issues. soledad: tell me about your addiction. you wrote about it a lot in your book. rep. kennedy: i started drinking at 13. i then started using cocaine i bottomed out principally because of the cocaine at age 17 where i went to drug rehab for the first time in my life. that was to end up being the case for me on numerous other occasions as i progressed in my illness, forgetting the fact that i have a chronic illness, and it can't be treated with one episode of care. soledad: how many times were you in rehab? rep. kennedy: about a dozen times. soledad: that's pretty average. people who don't know of addiction think about rehab as, you go, come back, and you are fine, but most people

john kennedy. everybody loves john kennedy. we think of him as an admirable and tragic figure.n his first you months, he made a serious mistake. he was not sure how to handle this great problem of cuba. he allowed a process that was already in place, the invasion of cuba to unfold. that was april, 1961. >> let the record show that our restraint is not inexhaustible. should it ever appeared that the inner american doctrine of non-interference merely conceals or excuses a policy of nonaction, if the nations of this hemisphere should fail to meet their commitments against outside communist penetration, then i want it clearly understood that this government will not hesitate in meeting its primary obligation, which are the security of our nation. >> what should he have done differently? he did not subject that plan to sufficient rigor. he did not go through this area is. he did not go through a long period of thoughtful analysis. he felt he needed to act bold. he felt he needed to show that he was a hawk, that he was an active president. he criticized eisenhower for being asleep at
