leslie marshall syndicated radio host of the leslie marshall show. which is also a radio talk show.'s a fox news contributor. thanks to both of you for joining us. chris, what do you make of this today? >> today? a lot like yesterday. >> melissa: this minute. >> that's exactly it. senator mccain is on to something here. we've lost the 24-hour news cycle. we're on a five minute news cycle. we repeat it again and again. we've reached a point of madness. i'm concerned about the emotional well being of the city of washington and what's in it. we've lost what was left of our mind. we've blown everything out of proportion. it is a constant state of hysteria. and the appalling part of it is that this is really what we're witnessing is the democrats campaigning for the mid term elections. that's what this is all about. they know there's nothing impeachable here. there's no obstruction of justice. they know that. they know all of this is just political stuff. you used the word hyperbolie. i'll use that. but over a dinner table, i might use a different word. we're not getting any better. we s

going to have to say goodbye there, leslie marshall and brad blakeman, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us today. >> heather: on to something else, the healthcare debate heating up in the senate, while some senators may want to use the so-called nuclear option to repeal obamacare. up next. >> there is some information within this code that is cybersecurity research affirms that i looked at that might indicate north korea however it is very simple for someone to also plant some markers that would indicate somebody other than them. they are the guilty party, the speculation is certainly stunning from the fact that if these were criminals behind this attack, they are not very good at crime. they're not making any money off this. they are not keeping it quiet. this is a huge, loud attack. >> jon: that during our first hour of "happening now" today, that cybersecurity reporter for "the wall street journal" pro, the online service discussing the cyber attacks linked to north korea. joining us now, admiral robert, retired navy four-star admiral, former commander of the seven

. >> jon: the score is the cost estimate of all of this pure joining us now for more, leslie marshallsyndicated radio host and fox news contributor and jamie weinstein, political commentator and host of the podcast the jimmy weinstein show. you first, jamie. there was a lot of pomp and circumstance, a lot of high fives yesterday in the rose garden when president trump was there with house republicans who got this thing passed. but it is far from a done deal and even republicans in the senate are not necessarily onboard with what the house has done. was that celebration of premature? >> certainly a good day for donald trump, he got through -- the bill through the house but i am reminded of what winston churchill once said. thisisnottheend,noteventhebegin ningoftheend,perhapstheendoftheb eginning" there's a lot of things going on, a lot of ideological divisions, even among republican senators up in 2018 who are afraid to upset the apple cart and might get taggede losers as every bill always does even if it is better for most people. there is a long way to go on the senate, and then even

. >> shannon: chris plante, leslie marshal, talk show host and fox news contributor. good to see you both. >> hey, shannon. >> shannon: what do you make of this conversation now going on in europe where tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people have emigrated all through the country. they have open borders. people are saying now, we feel like this is too late and the u.s. should learn a lesson. >> i don't agree with that. this is why. what we look at with this family that has been for over two decades as part of the manchester community. the radicalization happened very recently, if you just look at the historical chain of events, at least in this specific situation. this was a british born individual who, hypothetically went to syria or libya or anywhere else for training and came to the united states, a ban in place for libya or some of the other muslim majority nations would not stop. the problem is that the banning and the borders don't stop the border of the mind and the computer that has no borders. that's how isis is recruiting individuals, over

democrats have found a home at fox as well, including geraldo rivera, juan williams, bob beckel, leslie marshall, ailes was a conservative but those responsible for news coverage were encouraged to play it straight, as on the eve of the 2000 election. >> rogers interest, is it right? are we sure the sources good? are we sure the facts are accurate? after that, there was never a moment's hesitation about whether we should do the story or not, even though it had the potential to derail busch's candidacy. >> fox news ratings climbed. coverage of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, by the end, fox news fox news became everyone in cable news and has remained so ever since. there has always been as scrappy atmosphere. a sense that the work here is a privilege to be enjoyed. >> i tell people, if you're not having any fun, go home. go home. you are irritating me. >> roger never forgot where he came from. >> how would you describe yourself? >> a guy from ohio who worked his way up and got lucky. going into television as a gofe gofer, and an opportunity presented itself. i think i rose to the challenge mos

we'll bring in chris plant, syndicated radio talk show host and leslie marshall also a talk show hostnd fox news contributor. clearly, i need my own syndicated radio talk show. before that, chris, let me ask you, you know, if there is a lot of hypocrisy as usual to go around in washington. all of a sudden democrats saying they can't believe this. it's outrageous. what do you make of that? >> if you had taken a survey on capitol hill yesterday at breakfast, democrats overwhelmingly would have called for comey to go. by the time that dinner came around, they had all done a 180, gone completely against it. now they're rah rah, trying to walk this high wire act that they're not for comey. the lack of sincerity in this town is epic. i have lived here for about 30 years. what senator schumer did yesterday was a ph.d. level course in insincerity. the lack of integrity, lack of truthfulness, is epic. then it reaches the news media, i'm sorry to say, where it doesn't get any better. it gets worse. the hypocrisy, we're going to have to come up with a new word. >> melissa: one that was really st

. >> bill: kristen soltis anderson, leslie marshall has had a similar experience.morning to both of you. i think it's very important to point out the sensitive nature of this story because you are left feeling as if there are politicians or even doctors who would not care for an infant in the state that jimmy kimmel's son billy was in. how do you see this and the criticism coming from charlie hurt? >> i don't have any criticism for jimmy kimmel for a father who has gone through torture over the last few weeks wanting to advocate to make sure no parent has to go through anything even worse. i actually took away from kimmel's comments something far less partisan. he says in that clip that you just showed that he thinks republicans and democrats can agree that we don't want any children to face this issue. further in the monologue he talks about how the budget just passed if congress increased funding for the national institutes of health. i didn't take from it nearly as much of a partisan message as i think charlie hurt did. i would probably disagree with -- i would

bush and leslie marshall syndicated radio host. both fox news contributors.od morning. >> shannon: government funding up slightly over last year. 554.6 million this year. 553.7 million last year. something interesting to note though apparently over five year's time the number of patients to planned parenthood down. they are still getting the same federal and state government money. leslie, is that fair? >> well, yes, it is fair. because when you look at the overall number of people they are helping, over 2.5 million people, and when you also look at the threats to some of those people, whether it's the federal government wanting to reduce medicaid or whether you just look at not just planned parenthood, centers that have closed a number of them throughout the united states, but other clinics that have closed because they don't have proper funding. these are -- these are lower income women predominantly that need somewhere to go for these female health services and not just reproductive health services. >> shannon: there are federally qualified healthcare cent
