lawler: thank you.eoff: let's turn now to one of the country's leading historians on eastern europe and the former soviet union, who has written widely on ukraine, russia, and this war. timothy snyder is the richard c. levin professor of history at yale university. thank you for being with us. from your perspective, for one who has written exclusively on ukraine, what did you see in that spectacle in the oval office earlier today? prof. snyder: you see that the president of trouble controlling political reality once he gets beyond the united states. the premise was we are working towards a peace arrangement between russia and ukraine, but thus far, we have done is make concessions to russia. that is all we have done. the second thing we have done now is brought the ukrainian president to the white house and tried to humiliate him. we have created a situation where we have favored the aggressor and weakened that offender. you cannot really get to peace -- weakened the defender. you cannot really get to p

mike lawler. >> this conflict occurred under joe biden. >> oh, so it's biden's fault? >> it is. >> oh. you. oh, snap. oh, snap. that's right. oh. >> what's your position now that we should give ukraine all the weapons and they should be used as far into russia as possible. >> my position early on was that. >> no, no, i'm saying now though. >> my position early on. >> i know, but now, do you. think we should? i know, i know, but now do you feel like we should give them all the weapons and let them just strike as far into russia as they want? because that seems to be what you're advocating that biden should have done. >> no, they should have been. >> right. right. but now. >> earlier on, they should have been. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. but now what should they do? >> no. in the. >> current. >> in the current environment, they're in a very weakened position. >> are they on the same team? >> apparently not. >> why is europe so concerned? >> trump and his administration are giving every indication that they're going to abandon europe and abandon our commitments to nato. how do y

in the00 mike lawler had a ngerost that reads, today's meeting in the ovalfficwas a missed opportunity for the ed stes and ukraine, an agreement that would undoubtedly turn to corporation. diplomacy is tough andhere are serious difference ofpinion and serious exchanges. having this split out in public view disastrous. it was extremely short-sighted ternational press as you work toward an agree sadly the only winner of today is vladimir putin and gregory saithis. the world just watched the supposed leader of the free world throw a temper tantrum lark out at a wartime president fighting for his nation's al. its not president zelensky who disrespected a president, it was donald trump who acted like a two-bit mob boss we've known him to be. >> saturday's watch american history tv 10-week series first 100 days with a presidential administration with historians and authors. we learned about accomplishments and how that's impacted presidential terms and the nation of the president day. saturday, the first 100 days of lyndon johnson's presidency. he became president on november 22, 1953 after

lawler for trading places with me. allowing me to go a little bit early. been interesting because i've been in and out of here but i kept it on the television when i had to be out. we seem to have an agreement to disagree because i think we agree on the following, at least some of the programs that each of you have seen when you've gotten into it are wasteful, unnecessary and and or would be better reprogrammed with other use, can we all agree on that? you said 80 programs were stopped in a very short period of time the money was reprogrammed to better use. many of the programs that were talked about here and some did turn out to be state department. let's assume for a moment and maybe the xm bank maybe a lot of places that disperse our funds have been used for purposes that the new administration rightfully objects to and have the power or desire to reprogram. now i'm going to ask a couple questions earlier there was a question if any of you really disagree the answer came from as though we didn't need it. these were unique high expense areas like ukraine

joining us congressman mike lawler from house financial services. always a pleasure. thanks for joining us. do you think the senate republicans will enact the trump agenda and the trump tax cuts? >> yes. we have no choice. we have to work as a team to get this legislation across the finish line. it's going to be a long negotiation as we work through the different issues, but we have to stick together to pass the final bill. our margins in both the house and the senate are not large enough for people ultimately to peel off, which is why the negotiation will matter, and making sure that we fulfill the commitments made by the president from securing the border to strengthening our military, increasing domestic production of energy, providing tax relief to millions of hard working middle class families, including lifting the cap on salt, which is a top priority for me, and something president trump has made clear he supports, and reigning in the size and scope of the federal government. we have a $7 trillion budget. we are approaching $37 trillion in debt. democrats say t

. >> chris lawler said that too. one time small move in prices, maybe, and certain prices and not inflationary long term. i was looking at charts that showed the impact of these tariffs on mexico and canada would have been significant even without retaliation and would have mattered a lot to them. larry: to them. to them. of course it would. but their currencies have nose dived. >> absolutely. larry: that's high inflation. our currency, the dollar, gone up and no inflation. >> the hit to growth is the same. devastating to mexico, which is why they came very quickly. very bad for canada, but at most just a tiny half to a quarter percentage point off u.s. growth. worst case. larry: let me play the trump tape and probably should have beginning of the show. here comes the trump tame on his decision today. news conference today. >> so the, call with mexico went very well in the sense that they're very strong on the boarder and putting soldiers this. actually, their best military soldiers and they're going to be at the bor

bring in new york congressman mike lawler. your that you want about that move?s long overdue, frankly. these funds have been misappropriated going back to the biden administration and new york city, a sanctuary city, has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, billions with a b, to provide free housing, clothing, food, education and healthcare to illegal immigrants including here illegally. i applaud dhs for taking action to stop these payments under president trump's leadership. we have incentivized cities like new york and states like new york, a sanctuary state to allow this to continue and it has to stop. >> brian: it cost new york and us billions of dollars because water was wide open for years and mayor that spoke up got exiled. he's about to be, i guess, in a ways, pardoned or protected by this president who sees targeting of eric adams as same thing that happened to him. >> no question. eric adams spoke out against what the biden administration was doing and said migrant situation was destroying new york city. kathy hochul authorized billions

anita: mike lawler on how he sees are all in the middle east. good to have you with us today.here is so much to talk about when it comes to the region. i want to start with this plan that trump put out there to take over and rebuild gaza. last week towards the end of the week, he walked back the idea that any american troops or american military would be on the ground, involved in this was what can you tell us about this plan? >> obviously the president put forward an idea that has caused the discussion within the middle east with our allies from many ambassadors throughout the middle east, met with benjamin netanyahu just yesterday. obviously a lot of details to be flushed out here. but i think the point the president was making was what has been discussed in the past is not working and obviously hamas being in control of gaza is not a plan. this ensures the safety and security of israel, ensures that a two state solution whatever work, ultimately, that stuff has to be worked out but has to be worked out with our allies around the middle east including jordan and egypt. anita

very little time to react to and we're talking a split second and it's a i can imagine what happened lawler happened with the personal and professional experience and they be rerouted. johnathon: what could have caused that? >> well, the lear55 has been in active duing it for many, many decades. it flies up to 55,000 feet at 545 miles an hour maximum speed and carries it's very, very safe. what could have happened in this particular instance? there is some information whether accurate or not that needs to be investigated. may maintenance on the same day or day before and some reporting that it did have some maintenance the day before. could that have created a problem? could it have been a structural and failed and the pilots didn't manage it properly? those are the three or four big gens i have from an investigative point-over view. johnathon: hopefully the ntsb will give the flying public answers to these ques questionsn both tragic crashes as soon as possible. antony roman, pleasure to get your -- anthony roman, pleasure to get your expertise today. alicia. alicia: jonathan, president tr

mike lawler, who wants to be new york's next governor. yeah, the economy's kind of hot though, isn't it? okay. interest rates need to go down. donald trump is going to be saying the same thing. and i just i think about the republicans criticism of the fed for not recognizing when the economy was too hot, calling inflation transitory and jumping up to 9%. i'm afraid we may be getting again. >> okay. >> so we just got numbers literally less than about an hour ago, right about now, right where we got consumer price, the excuse me, the consumer price index suggesting that we are basically now at 3% again, right. this is higher than people have thought. it means inflation is hotter. and can you explain and what the impact of the fed being pressured. not that they would be, but if the fed were pressured to lower interest rates, lowering interest rates will only increase inflation. exactly. okay. so the only thing they could do right now is try to put some brakes on the inflation. and that would mean raising interest rates okay. which is the las

you have a congressman from new york giving you a hard time in mike lawler he will be running on theith the one thing that changed, can't get along with donald trump. that's the message. you can go to kathy hochul and congestion pricing, start taking that away. in my justice department officials, see what you can get done without me. they've been amicable so far but elyse stefanik, open until september, how long will trump take that. and other new yorkers. stuart: what do you think of the chances of that in my lifetime there will be a new york state government run by republicans? brian: an excellent chance. as trump started to make inroads in new york and the boroughs he will move into manhattan and i work around new york city, i see these red hats everywhere. i would see one every millennial, every haley's comment. now i see them every block. that's the inroad in new york city to win the state because the state belongs to republicans. upstate new york anyway. stuart: brian kilmeade, thanks. still ahead, guy benson on james carville accusing democrats of treating all minorities the s

lawler you're seeing, did it hit homes directly?ere a chance we might see no other fatalities and just injuries or based on what you're seeing, just that we don't know yet but there's going to be fatalities on the ground. reporter: we don't know yet and that's obviously something, rachel, you don't want to proclaim before you know. i can tell you when first responders showed up, they described the scene as really grim and people severely injured and worse. what's unknown is if there's some way that, you know, what that first responder saw was someone on the jet, it's difficult to say at this point. i can tell you that between three and four blocks of row homes were at least fully or partially for a period of time on fire and fire fighters were pulling people out of homes. the good news is that we know that they were successful in many of those efforts and they were able to pull people out. you know, this is a good time for prayers and hopefully the casualty number is smaller than what it looks like it could possibly be seeing that t

congressman ritchie torres on the democratic side is, whether it's a general election side from mike lawler the fallout from alienating a large chunk of democratic base voters, and that's african-americans. we saw mayor with adams at some is of the black churches in the outer boroughs, he is still liked in many parts of the city. >> remember, eric adams a came out and said, hey, federal government, you can't keep dumping all these migrants. maria: that's right. >> we are putting migrants in our schools, ps-242 had to shut down -- maria: yeah. and as soon as he opens up his mouth about the border, charges are put against him -- >> what a coincidence. maria: great panel, everybody. thu

but representative mike lawler of new york says the president has promised to not cut medicaid. that resolution, calling it a betrayal to americans. it now heads to committee hearings. well, ultra processed foods make up more than a half of americans diets. that's the findings from a new study from the johns hopkins school of public health. researchers looked at eating patterns of more than 34,000 americans, both at home and away from home. ultra processed foods have little or no nutritional value. things like chips, sugary cereals, and many types of bread. consuming large amounts of it have been associated with chronic disease, and a measles outbreak is spreading in parts of the southwest, and public health officials say it could be due to declining vaccination rates. fox's jared halperin has more. >> one of the world's most contagious diseases is once again surging across the country. health officials say a measles outbreak is already sickened dozens of people in texas and new mexico since late january. now, two universities in the lone star state are warning about potential e

s one of those -- che cheryl that's the problem for mike lawler are. look, in the house we've got our own dynamics. and part of this is, look, the senate's budge resolution and the house budget resolution, neither of them have the votes the pass currently because it's the only part of the plan. the discretionary if budge, the part that we normally pay for like border security, like usaie kind of woke and weaponizedded government, a military that's not focused, all that's the normal spending, and that expires march 14th. neither of these budgets truly deal with the underlying prop problem of march 14th. and, frankly, leadership on neither the house or senate has put forth a plan on that a yet. i don't think there are going to be the votes in either house. cheryl: okay. fair enough. we'll see how this goes with this vote tomorrow the under thune. you mentioned usaid. i want to ask you this. the halt on funding at usaid has some worried that china is going to start to fill the holes. do you think that that is a concern? is that a discussion that that a we

david: steve, how can these blue state republicans like congressman lawler, for example, who's been veryocal about all this, how can they get a deal with texans and floridians who say, look, i don't want to pay for bad taxing in new york and california. >> you do it by reducing tax rates. so that way on the federal level that means if you earn more, you have the incentive to to earn more instead of a deduction. it's one thing to take away, david, the s.a.l.t. deduction, but they forgot the other half which is slashing tax rates so you don't have this constant pressure of trying to get rid of the thing. instead of raising 30,000, 100,000, whatever number they're talking about, cut the tax rates. especially the middle income ones so they can't say it's for the rich. cut it to 15. don't care what the cbo -- the c box's not in the constitution, republicans don't have to pay attention to it and shouldn't. david: but what about a plan if b which ron johnson has talked about in the senate saying we're not going to open up another can of worms, we're going to focus on just extending the tax cuts

you saw mark that congressman lawler. be able to pass this budget and fund donald trump's tax cuts for billionaires, millionaires, multinational corporations, the richest americans. they're not going to be able to extend those tax cuts without slashing medicaid. and they basically said so in the outline of where this money was going to come from. that not only impacts. i talk about red state america. red state america is not just in kansas or wisconsin or central pennsylvania. that's also where i lived for a while, upstate new york. yeah. and that's something that a congressman who may want to be a governor of the state of new york is going to be thinking about. and there are a lot of other republican congressmen and congresswomen that probably understand all too well that these cuts are going to hurt red state america as much as blue state america. >> well, you have to remember yesterday mike lawler voted for this $880 billion cut from medicaid. so the question is that's quite a lot of money. it would be over ten years,

this is mike lawler of new york.was on abc's "this week" and was asked about this email of what government employees did last week. this is what he said. [video clip] >> look. i don't know how that is feasible. a lot of federal employees are under union contract. what they are ensuring is every agency and department is effectively and efficiently doing their job. with a $7 trillion budget, there is no question that our government has become bloated and in many respects inefficient. and so the task at hand obviously for elon musk and the department of government efficiency at the direction of president trump is to find efficiencies and savings and make sure that our federal workforce is doing their jobs and doing it effectively. we have many, many people who do a phenomenal job on behalf of the american people, but i think ultimately in any government when a new administration comes in, whether it is the state government, the local government, and i served at every level of government, you know, a new administration i

would love for you to respond to those criticisms from congressman lawyer lawler, as well as pushbackworking? >> well, first of all. >> i'd be happier if someone like a mike lawler and his six colleagues in congress, the republicans, instead of making sure that we have people in our state without health care taking away thousands of individuals, millions of individuals right to be able to get chemo treatments and insulin and to be able to get the health care they need like they voted on the other day saying, we don't care about medicaid. i'd rather they focus on that. but let me get back to congestion pricing. >> governor. governor, can i since you talked about that, i'm really glad you talked about that, because this is a common misconception among republicans. and i know because i used to be one, most republicans don't understand how much rural health care is, is, is controlled, is powered by is, is supported by medicaid. hospitals are shutting down when their medicaid cuts providers massively under under under served in rural communities like upstate new york and areas where i live
