charles krauthammer -- his uniquely american story. his journey from md to the pulitzer prize, how he overcame a devastating accident with the determination to lead a life that matters. hello. i'm bret baier, and i hope you'll enjoy watching this "fox news reporting" special as much as we enjoyed making it. fox viewers know where charles krauthammer sits on the panel, and they probably know his position on most issues. but we bet there's a lot you don't know about the all-star panelist, syndicated columnist, harvard trained psychiatrist, and even occasional baseball analyst. we think you should, even if the doctor has a different opinion. you were a little reticent when we started this project. what's your thought about all this? >> i don't like it. >> [ laughs ] full disclosure -- i've been trying to convince charles krauthammer to sit for an interview for some time... secretary kerry on the hill today talking about... ...not one where he simply shares his thoughts on the news of the day. >> i suspect there's gonna be another twist he

krauthammer makes good points. the problem is we are dealing with a president who knows nothing of our history. and this from wild and wonderful. "has occurred to you he doesn't even know what those are? he is the most unstudied president ever." your comment? guest: there is a point in those tweets. the president on quite a few occasions, especially recently, has said some things about american history that don't make a whole lot of sense, don't line up of the facts. and do draw to question how much a student of history and how much he appreciates just how unique and special the country is. i think the flippancy that he sometimes evinces when talking about some of the most important events in american history and really not understanding the point of the civil war and what the moral meaning of that was. it does reinforce this worry, and these same ideas i wrote in the piece that i hope the that the president comes to a greater understanding, greater appreciation of the uniqueness and specialness that we have in our

his own party for the reasons krauthammer put out there?n franklin said something we all should be mindful of. we are going to hang together or we are going to hang separately. the gop has to understand that. the media has taken off the referee jersey and put on the jersey of the opposition party. they are going to not only come after the president, they will then come after the republican majority in the house and then the senate. if they don't hang together, they will hang separately. this underscores something. donald trump is a major disruptor of the status quo and business as usual. my uncle told me dogs don't bark at parked cars. he has elicited a powerful and sustained response from the opposition. if we don't hang together, we'll hang separately. charles: even today in the gop press conference paul ryan was asked about his level of confidence in donald trump, i thought the simple answer was yes, i'm very confident in the president of the united states, instead he talked about investigation it was note a full-throated support of the

charles krauthammer -- his uniquely american story.rcame a devastating accident with the determination to lead a life that matters. hello. i'm bret baier, and i hope you'll enjoy watching this "fox news reporting" special as much as we enjoyed making it. fox viewers know where charles krauthammer sits on the panel, and they probably know his position on most issues. but we bet there's a lot you don't know about the all-star panelist, syndicated columnist, harvard trained psychiatrist, and even occasional baseball analyst. we think you should, even if the

lisa boothe, ab stoddard, and charles krauthammer. unindicted co-conspirators, all.isa, this "washington post" story about a senior advisor close to the president which seems like language calculated to make a stink of jared kushner, if this is true -- if it's true there is such a person in the white house was now a person of interest for this investigation, should the trumpa significant escalation in this story? >> potentially. everyone should take what is printed with a grain of salt. we've seen a lot of the information surfaced being incorrect. in regarding to "the new york times" article with president trump's conversations with the russians. there was a report with the mexico president, there is a threat from president trump. spokesperson for the president came out and said that was not true. same thing with the australian prime minister. reports regarding comey be incorrect as well. i think everything should be taken with a grain of salt these days. >> james: okay. let's listen to or hear from sean spicer who assuredly has had better weeks than this one. he off

charles lane, mollie hemingway, and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. >> i want lindsay here. i don't trust the story. the russians are masters of disinformation. it already has washington with its knickers in a twist. someone is going to get a hernia here. we have no idea if it's true. let's say it is true. it wasn't the problem here the accusation here that there was some collusion during the campaign with the russians? everyone agrees that the story is true it occurred after the campaign during the transition. so unless there is some nefarious connection, there is no connection to what was alleged to have happened during the campaign. lastly, we've had back channel connections with adversaries for generations prayed henry kissinger had them with the russians and the chinese. hillary had the back channel to establish negotiations and what ended up as the iranian nuclear deal. >> james: and barack obama with cuba. >> and negotiations occurred in secret, negotiations with cuba. this happens all the time. i don't quite understand where is the crime other than it's another piece

if there is no crime, as charles krauthammer said. democrats at this hour calling for his security clearance to be revoked? >> charles krauthammer is incorrect. i know that doesn't happen very much. i have a lot of respect for him. but when you go for a security clearance, they ask you to list different members of different governments you have been in contact with. it's important that we know who you have been talking to so that we know who might want to leverage that against you when you are working in the highest reaches of power in the white house. jared kushner did not disclose that he had this meeting when he had to. honestly, if i'm jared kushner, i am thinking, why -- the american people deserve to know why he didn't disclose it. it's like, come on, guys. this is why this president is having so much trouble getting anything done, it's because he gets bogged down in the mud of his own mistakes. i think ultimately, the only thing that is going to fix this is a shakeup. >> sandra: underreported is that jared kushner was the first

i think look at the conservative commentators whether you talk about jonah goldberg, others, krauthammer, who are questioning the very stability of the president of the united states. we have many reporters, myself included, who have talked to numerous people, republicans on capitol hill who in private will tell you they doubt the stability of this president and that in the last week it has really been demonstrated. it's part of the story and it is very hard to cover. it's a different dynamic than we have ever had to deal with before. but the tweets that tpresident f the united states have been making are a roadmap of his mind. that roadmap takes very crooked corners. >> you are talking about what republicans might be saying in private. in public, we haven't heard so much of this. jeffrey, let me put on screen part of your column from the new yorker. you said it is a certainty that history will look unkindly upon the moral blindness of contemporary republicans. you say there's been relative silence from gop leaders. >> that's right. carl is correctly pointing out that a few conservative

first, we want to go to charles krauthammer, who i believe a standing by in washington tonight. charles, there is other news, thanks a lot for joining us. there is other news today. that is the american health care act, has passed the house of representatives. hoaxster's joining us, i want to say we will go to the event wite how significant is that that this has passed? >> for political reasons for the president, and for speaker wrong and, this is a very important moment. simply on the negative side. had it not, that would have been a striking out. the republicans have railed against the affordable care act, obamacare, for seven years. they promised, they voted over 60 times to repeal when they knew that the repeal would be ineffective because obama was in office. now, they have a republican in office, they are not able to pass a bill. simply, the fact that passing the ball was extremely important because of the downside. the problem is, what is in the bill. the problem is that we have a very rickety health care system as a result of obamacare. it is very hard to predict what th

krauthammer was saying, democrats would take us to a single-payer system. our bill brings us closer to choice and competition, giving states the right to help craft plans for people, giving individuals the right, hopefully, to pick plans that meet the risk and there -- what obamacare did is you have to buy a rolls-royce. not many of people can afford a rolls-royce car, but if you can get a ford fusion, that might accompany my needs to get you going. what we are doing is getting closer to choice and competition and further away from a single-payer. >> martha: congressman, thank you very much. joining us now with more, alex, it is a republican strategist and julie roginsky is a democrat analyst. welcome to both of you. i want to play a moment that, i don't know if it stays about the maturity level on capitol hill or the jubilance that was a variance on both sides last night. let's watch this. ♪ na na na na... hey, hey, hey ♪ ♪ goodbye >> martha: the republicans on capitol hill yesterday. julia, are they overzealous in their enthusiasm on the democratic side?

charlie hurt, jennifer jacobs, and charles krauthammer. take a listen to hillary clinto hillary clinton. >> i take personal responsibility. i was the candidate. i was the person who was on the ballot. >> were you a victim of misogyny? >> i think it played a role. i was on the way to winning until a combination of jim comey's letters on october 28 and russian wikileaks raised doubts. had the election been on october president. >> bret: charles, you have other senators weighing in. saying former director comey should be brought to congress to testify. >> it's possible this will become a political partisan football. you can see how the republicans, you read from senator grassley, supporting the president's decision. joe manchin, he is often in the middle. bipartisan figure. he said let's look to the future on this. if it does become a partisan issue, i think it will be highly unfortunate. there's no way to detoxify the firing. i think what is important is, as joe manchin said, find somebody who can get overwhelming support from the two sides.

krauthammer has to say. >> they have no idea the gravity of it. it can be perhaps it's not. this is just pure opportunism especially since their candidate for the presidency had been spilling some of the highest level classified information for the past year and a half and the democrats pretended it wasn't a problem or ignored. it's rather unseemly. >> shannon: this is from them f.b.i. director james comey. he said there were multiple private servers that clinton had used. >> 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information. eight of those chains contained information that was top secret at the time they were sent, 36 of those chains contained secret information at the time. and 8 contained confidential information at the time. we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. >> shannon: doug, do they have the moral high ground to be pointing the finger at the president on this? >> i think it's pretty clear from what jim comey said last year that there were very serious issues raised w

steve hayes, editor-in-chief of "the weekly standard," mercedes schlapp, anna palmer, and charles krauthammer. steve, thoughts on the day. what we need most in this discussion is new information. we need something to break through, we need clarity. we didn't get that today. i think what we got was more of the same. mike flynn made mistakes, exercised bad judgment. on question after question, both james clapper and sally yates hid behind classification. one would hope if this matter continues and we are certain it will, somebody somewhere will say we need to see this stuff. the american public needs to see it. whether you are talking about transcripts of what mike flynn said in his conversation with sergey kislyak, whether you're talking about requests for unmasking, all of these things are being debated without the benefit of the public seeing what is the substantive claim. >> bret: "new york times" had a piece saying mr. obama, who had fired general flynn as head of the defense intelligence agency, told president trump he would have profound concerns about mr. flynn becoming a top national s

a conspiracy theory of watergate proportions, marielle hemingway calls this appalling, charles krauthammerght. >> i'm a longtime media observer but i'm gob smacked by media coverage of the fire, it is definitely a big story, firing at him fbi director but much media coverage turned this into something almost delusional, believe that comey who everyone agreed until a few minutes ago was really bad at his job and not done a good job managing the fbi, was fired as a part of a global russian conspiracy. >> they have this narrative there is a conspiracy they are trying to cover up. this was russian inside job, the trump campaign collaborated, you have to say -- these stories all night long, to a recommendation, it is completely undermined when the president said i was going to do it anyway. who to believe? nobody. >> demanding an apology after mike pence bumped him on the nose. >> wonderful kids. >> barely bumped him but the vice president didn't realize it at first. military spouse appreciation day, when he heard the demand he gave an with heartfelt apology. ♪ >> talk about mother's day weeken

howie: charles crowd hammer said that -- charles krauthammer who has a medical degree, he says republicansre attempting to deal with preexisting conditions, and there are other parts of obamacare that have been kept. the freedom caucus sort of had to go along with that how much has the political debate moved from where it would have been seven years ago. gayle: when you have a big entitlement bill passed through congress, it's hard to roll it back. americans want a partial repeal or rollback of obamacare. insurers are pulling out of the exchanges. in the last week the cbs, abc and nbc have not done a good job of showing the flaws of obamacare. erin: you are right, over the past week the existing problems with obamacare have not gone the that kind of coverage. i asked a communications director to an influential senator, we know obamacare need to be fixed, here are our package of fixes. this person said to me that you can't really put out the exact policies we want to pursue because then the media will shred it. howie: let me get a break here. let us know what you think. mediabuzz.com. james

stoddard, syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. mollie, this has been focusing, swirling on capitol hill but to see the actual fisa court rebuke is pretty stunning. >> to learn that the obama administration was routinely violating the privacy protections americans, violating their fourth amendment rights is stunning. god bless them for digging into it because we have an entire media complex that supposedly cares about democracy dying in darkness and when this ruling came out they accepted the anodyne statements from intelligence agencies that the big news is they were going to stop doing some email collection program they'd been doing. these are the types of stories that need to be dug into aggressively by as many reporters to find out more about what these violations were, who was impacted, and what's being done to correct it. this was the kind of thing they had previously been warned about and they didn't fix it. they didn't change the oversight and this is something that can't continue. >> bret: this comes as there is a renewal

charles krauthammer said it best.way always said about the genius of rupert murdoch and roger ailes, they found a niche audience, half the country. what i marveled about him most in terms of the way he carried himself. the way he evaluated talent. he would watch audition tapes with the sound off to see if that person had presence and filled the screen. look at way he hired about bill o'reilly from "inside edition." howie: the lawsuit by gretchen carlson. roger ailes was accused of some pretty horrible conduct toward women. we have to balance that against whatever else he achieved in his long career in politics and media. >> he was different things to different people. and you have people like this network who he -- who have come out and talked about how much he helped them when they were going through family situations, when they were sick. he did those things. those things cannot be denied. you have other people who obviously who have come out and said that some of them destroyed their careers and created a culture o

charles krauthammer calling the test a significant move.ch. >> it's a big deal and it's just in time. we are going to be as acceptable to a rogue state. hitting the homeland with a nuclear weapon and shooting them down. until a few years ago, we had no way to do it. until this missile is launched at us, there is no way to stop it. it's going to hit and it's going to kill. >> harris: you and i spoke before the show today. you said you want to drop a history lesson. >> bill: we are talking about criticism of the president. there are a few things which ronald reagan was criticized for more than "star wars" ." he believed in it and he worked to develop it. the interesting history here is reagan went to iceland when he met with gorbachev. the meeting which he thought ended badly. when he got on the plane, charles wick said today he won the cold war. one of the reasons is that gorbachev heard about "star wars," these plants of the president had and thought there were a much further advanced than they actually were. they had five guys in the labor

rob: charles krauthammer praising the president think this is an indicator that america is back. >> i understand, trying to tie it together to look nonpolitical but the real story is not the vatican or the israeli trip. american policy, getting 50 sunni nations lined up that this is a new day in the middle east with revelations for many years. that is the story. a new middle east, america is back. heather: fake russian intelligence may have impacted james comey's investigation into hillary clinton. the washington post reporting the fbi obtained a document claiming loretta lynch assured the clinton campaign that she would not let the investigation get too far. in july comey announced the investigation was over. by august the fbi concluded that document was fake, possibly meant to confuse the euro. rob: donald trump expanding his search for a new director after joe lieberman is out of the running, he was described as the president's top pick but ran into pushback from democrats with concerns about having a politician running the fbi. the president fired james comey earlier this month fi

charles krauthammer on fox news -- he comes around once a week. charles said guess what?his is inexplicable that you would fire him now. kimberly says, oh, the democrats wanted him out back in july. that was july. nobody says he was doing a bad job investigating the russian -- >> the fine line to the timing of it but nevertheless, dianne feinstein and james clapper have come out and said there's no evidence of -- is what i said untrue? >> this is an ongoing investigation. >> that was the information we have up until this point. no evidence of collusion. what you are suggesting is the president to remove comey so then therefore the russian investigation, collusion, just disappears. but that's asinine. comey gone doesn't erase it like a magic marker. >> he decapitated the man, the head of the agency pursuing the investigation. >> what he actually might have done inadvertently and not meaning to is made it worse. because special prosecutor is maybe not necessary, the hill isn't the place that makes that decision. that is made at the justice department. >> the justice departm

. >> charles krauthammer ripping apart. >> he has a serious policy in place to squeeze the north koreans, threatened them. i like the way he says i won't happy if you do a nuclear explosion. let them guess. he is pushing hard on china. not sure that is going to work but he is letting the north koreans know that we will not allow in that is a strong apology. what happened is we offered to meet with him is not serious and shouldn't be taken seriously. >> barack obama said he would meet with leaders in north korea in 2007. >> cat and mouse game, votes to repeal and replace obamacare, lawmakers appear to be heading for a vote this thursday but the white house admits they are 5 or 6 votes shy of passing it but despite the push to garner support donald trump remains confident that he will keep his promise to the american people. >> we are going to have a great plan. i don't want to set deadlines. i you think it is going to be approved. could be soon but it could be not so soon. it is going to happen but remember this. i have been focused on this for 7 weeks. that is 17 minutes. >> mike pence h

communications calling out the media for trying to find a scandal, we are talking about that coming krauthammerling out the media for trying to find a scandal in everything that comes out of the white house. the change the back channel connections with adversaries for generations, henry kissinger had them with the russians and the chinese, hillary had a back channel to establish the opening negotiations with the iranians and what turned into the iranian nuclear deal. this happens all the time. i don't understand where is the crime other than another piece that has russia in the headline, trump people in the headline and it is supposed to be scandalous, show me. >> tiger woods says he did not do it. the golf great claiming his dui arrest in florida was because of an unexpected reaction to his medication, not because he was drunk. look at this embarrassing mug shot. the desk and put it could be released today. he was charged with belligerent, arrogant refusing to take a breathalyzer test. the incident could cost the 41-year-old hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorship and was suspected of d
