now, let me just do this. let me just tell you this. i truly believe that any cuts that are out there that somebody can bring me that's not going to just stifle us as a patient, i'm for. i am delivering to you $30 million worth of cuts. it won't hardly move the needle. i am telling you our decisions are not tough decisions. they're catastrophic decisions. now, i really want you to pay close attention, because i truly from the bottom of my heart hate tax increases. hate them. i really do. but i want to show you the most painless way that i think you can get out of this mess. now i'm going to come around here and write. here's what you gotta do. you gotta cut all that we can possibly cut. i've got to have everybody in this state pay a half of a penny in additional sales tax. there is no way around it. i've got to have you pay instead of $30 in dmv fees, i've got to have you pay $50. the other thing is this, in trying to be fair, in trying to just be fair. the people are here. here is your people. here's your people. here's your businesses.

let me ask you this. senator rand paul said that senator mccain is mad about the comments last year. in fact, here's what he said. here's senator paul. >> this is colored by john mccain's disagreement with president trump. it all is. everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he's got running with president trump, and it should be taken with a grain of salt because john mccain is the guy who has advocating for war everywhere, he would bankrupt the nation, and we're actually very lucky john mccain isn't in charge because i think we would be in perpetual war. >> and i was reading twitter comments with people upset with john mccain and said john mccain is the man who couldn't get it done in 2008. any comment? >> he's a mentor of mine. a dear friend, and i think he's a national hero. and he's entitled to them, have they been battling? absolutely. and what i suggested to my former colleagues and others and spoke here on fox is they need to do what president obama did. th

i speak directly. >> let me finish my thought. mark, there's many people who feel that you're disrespecting the office of the president of the united states. i'm just telling you what they're telling me. in the elevator, at the airport, i'm -- i'm they're using me as ma messenger. >> i'm not disrespecting the office. i'm disrespecting, the person, okay? like i've said to the people in his administration, people who work for him, people who have worked for him. i'm happy to help anyway, shame, or form. but let's just be real. everything i said is absolutely true. he's oblivious, he won't accept mistakes, he's known no leadership qualities whatsoever. as an american citizen that's part of my responsibility. to stand up and say what i believe and if i'm wrong, i'll say i'm wrong. look, i want him to be successful. i also know that he reads what i say, that he pays attention to the interviews i do, and so hopefully, hopefully it will sink in. and so as far as what mark, people are critical of you, you think i care? you think i care wha

and let me break a little bit of news here. you know what the border patrol told me in the rio grande valley sector? it's inauguration day, illegal crossings have dropped 50 percent. [applause] now, oddly enough, you and i have not seen that on the 6:00 news. somehow reporters are reporting it and i ask them, why is that? patrol agents say they didn't know they assumed it was because with the new administration, they understood we have an administration that would finally, i'd only enforce the laws. and i want to commend the men and women of cpac as activists fighting for liberty, fighting for the constitution you all are incredibly important. you all are incredibly important number one in shocking and terrifying the mainstream media. which really should be done on a daily basis. but also on holding us accountable. we have the opportunity for this to be a historic congress, the most productive congress in decades. this year, in 2017, we should repeal obama care. [applause] confirmed a strong conservative to the supreme court. [a

let me contrast it to president obama. president obama on the steps of the capitol eight years ago said i call for swift move to create jobs and educate kids -- >> he's two weeks in and you would say he's not doing that. >> let me give you the timetable. one week and one day later the congress passed the aro, the american reinvestment and recovery act. the week or so later the senate passed a bill on the 17th of september, the congress, the president signeded a bill that created 3.5 million or saved 3.5 million to 4 million jobs. where is the initiative? in order to deflect from not doing that they're doing a travel ban which is not making american people safe, that is unconstitutional and even undermines what the evangelicals call -- evangelicals the crown jewel of humanitarianism of america our refugee resettlement. >> let me ask you about the role the democratic party should be playing. i want to play something elizabeth warren said yesterday in a speech in baltimore. >> america elected donald trump, and yeah, the russi

let me say this also, we have no plans to withdraw from the ec hr. let me deal with the question.atom and eu share a common framework including european court of justice, rolled framework including european court ofjustice, rolled forward the equation and decision—making of the council. making them uniquely legally joined. council. making them uniquely legallyjoined. triggering article 50 also entails giving notice to leave euratom, the nuclear industry isa leave euratom, the nuclear industry is a key strategic importance to the uk and we have been clear that this does not affect our intention to maintain close and effective arrangements relating to civil and nuclear cooperation safeguards and safety with europe and the rest of the world. and now mr speaker let me move on to the role of parliament. my move on to the role of parliament. my right honourable friend, the prime ministers set out our plans for a withdrawal in the speech at lancaster house. she has confirmed that parliament will have its say on the final deal we achieve with the european union by putting that deal toa eu

levine: let me ask you this question. did the democrats understand they need to control the house of representatives to impeach somebody? [laughter] sen. cruz: you know -- the democrats right now are living in an alternative universe. [cheering and applause] sen. cruz: the week after the election, i was at the capital, in an elevator with the well-known liberal democrat, who was simply staring ahead in a stupor, and that had not changed. they all look like that. they are in denial and they are angry. you and i were talking backstage. the anger on the left, i have never seen anything like it. they are opposing everything. democrats in the senate are filibustering absolutely everything. this is the longest we have been since george washington without confirming the cabinet. they are filibustering everything. we confirmed a few weeks ago on approving the journal. i have to confess, i have no idea what that is. i've voted yes. i hope yes was the right vote. approving the journal was the most mundane procedural vote. it is alw

let me repeat that. you will always your ear -- i will always have your back. let me repeat this. you will not be underutilized but input in everything we do. the most important question you will hear from me is what do you think? what should we be doing? we shall plan strategy and lift each other up together and decide our future and we will take on donald trump and the far right republicans. if we elect democrats up and down the ballot. this is not the first time i have confronted the challenge of bringing people together and i have the utmost respect for the challenge that lies ahead and i have the utmost respect for the importance of a team. you know what folks? you can't go it alone and succeed. we will do this as a party. we have only a couple hours left before we make this vote. and no matter who wins, i know we will cross the finish line together, because you know what, my friends? a united democrat party is not only our best hope, it is donald trump's worst nightmare. and we will be there together with hope, hard work and with a hell of a lot of organizing. we will turn t

now, let me tell you, you've trusted me with your vote. i absolutely need you now to trust me be your voice. now, you don't see any teleprompters in here. you know, a lot of news media said, you know, he's folksy. i didn't know that i know how to spell that. but there's sure no teleprompters, but you see, my definition of that would be plain talk. that's what i think west virginiaens want to hear. now, the truth is it's time for gigantic decisions. the past four years no matter how hard we've tried we have lived off rainy day and we've lived off the low-hanging fruit that we could cut away. we have. we cut nearly 060 million of waste and cut the rainy day in half. now, this year right now, you're going to have to cut the rainy day fund $123 million no way around it, right now. what are you going to have? 500 million. what are you going to do? what are you going to do? you're faced with a $500 million hole in the bucket, and the next year it's a $700 million hole in the bucket. if you cut rainy day more, the rate holders, the people that cr

let me tell you -- it was a lonely summer. we were criticized. we were ridiculed by the mainstream media. and you know what -- we did not care and we did not flinch. [applause] resourcesore human and more financial resources than ever before. door andoing door to running tv ads when no other group in america was fighting because nra members knew the soul of our country was at stake . it was not an easy ride. but there were moments last year when you knew we could win. when hillary turned her back on law enforcement. you knew americans across this country are not with her. when she embraced and open borders plus feet that favored sanctuary cities over the world of law, you knew in your heart it was wrong. and when she said you were all deplorable and even worse, it edeemablemable -- ir then you thought that we the people would fight back and donald trump did just that. sanctuary cities? no thank you, i will take a wall. [applause] backs on law enforcement? absolutely not. they deserve our respect and our thanks, just like them brave men and women

let me -- let me just give you a little more butt cheek.ee rotation from full -- full crack in the lens. >> nice ass though, it's a nice butt. >> seth: it is a nice butt. everybody -- i think that was the thing about abercrombie and fitch, there were never lousy butts in the ads. >> there were never lousy butts. [ laughter ] no, he picked some good butts. >> seth: you represented canada as well, in what -- what am i about to show? >> ah, jesus. uh, you're about to show -- i did a thing when i was 17, it was like the ford super model of the world competition. >> seth: gotcha. >> where my -- yeah. i did like a -- >> seth: so you -- you had to win a lot of intern -- >> i won the ca >> ford super model in canada, and then went to vegas to the ford super model of the world thing, and as i was going down the runway, my joint collapsed in my toe. >> seth: gotcha. >> and thought -- it kind of hurt, and like five months later had to have surgery. >> seth: but this -- but this is incredible, because we're going to see the moment your joint collapsed.

let me address this very openly. the europeans alone could not cope with fighting international islamists. we need the strength of the united states of america. we say this because the border between the e.u. and europe is the border us from islamic terrorists. that is very much the same in europe. so cooperation with the united states is very important to us. and it is also important that islam, muslim, is incorporated into this. those countries, first and foremost, have to give a contribution. only in this way will we be able to convince people it is not islam that is the problem but a falsely understood islam. their logistical authorities of islam have to find strong language in order to delineate themslves and distance themselves from fundamentalist terrorists. we cannot do it. it has to be done by their religious clergy and islam authority. for example in the neighborhood of iraq, we would like to pay tribute to what turkey has done. they have received almost 3 million refugees. lebanon, jordan have received an

let me go to a point here. medicare has made, between social security and medicare, seniors have been lifted up out of poverty remarkably. not everybody and not completely . but it has been in a transformative way. medicare being so essential to the health and financial security. when medicare was debated in the johnson administration, republicans did not support it, just as i may have a moment between differentiation between party at republicans, some of them eventually voted at the end, but they supported every amendment to block, to block, to block. in the 1990's, they gained control of the house, the congress, and newt gingrich's motto was medicare should weather on the vine. now that is their attitude -- medicare should wither on the vi ne. that is their attitude. this time when they take back ryanongress and in the budget, they put in a provision to take away the guarantee of medicare and to voucherize it. remove the guarantee, which is to do away with medicare. in terms of the subject, that is a fight th

let me tell you stories about my son, my daughter, my other son how we've suffered. getting humiliated. many white people read that and go, wait a minute. he's reasonable on this. and let's not put ourselves in that position. to your point, i was trying to show them in the sermonic treatment, this is the -- these are the stakes of black people in america, this is the hurt and pain we suffer, you can't damn us. you can't say, you must not have been acting right, talking right. as if we could behave our way out of unconscious white supremacy. i wanted to challenge some of that stuff, by preaching about it, talking about it, by exposing the murt and the pain and the trauma, and the grief, i think that white people have identified with it, and hopefully will continue to. >> the other thing i thought, you can't ever go wrong preaching to black folk. there's something that some white folk do from time to time do to belittle the black church or the black preacher. he's either a poverty pimp or -- >> sure. >> when people want to take a swipe at the black community. all you go

let me show you something. when george bush won re-election in 2004, front page of the "new york times," the most sacred space in journalism, front page, on what's arguably the most important day for political life of an election, their giant banner headline forbush, was "bush celebrates a victory." here is the front page for obama when he won in 2008. giant front became." obama" it says, and beneath it, racial barrier falls on decisive victory. here is the front page when donald trump won. "democrats, students and foreign allies face the reality of trump presidency." "grief and glee." and you wonder why donald trump thinks the "new york times" is bias and unfair against him. why is there headlines for bush and obama so neutral and this is the tenor and tone of the top editors of the most sacred space where they make very calculated decisions about what gets on the front page. and then it's compounded when you look at how the press is doing, and i say this was sadness, as somebody who started on capitol hill as

let me ask you.hy did president obama look in the eyes of the american people and promise laronda that her health insurance premiums would go down $2500 a year. was he telling the truth when he said that? and were you and the other democrats telling the truth when you echoed his promise to the american people? >> well, ted, first off, as everybody knows. health care is pretty complicated. i think president obama is an honest person, and i think based on his assessment, that's what he believed. >> was it true? >> turns out not to be true, but it turns out under bush premiums went up higher. not a new thing. then the real question we should be talking about is why we do spend so much money on health care, and that means that we have to appreciate that we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars every single year, not on health care but on administration and bureaucracy. we have hundreds of people in large hospitals sitting around not providing health care. they're working on paperwork, driving you

rick, let me start with you.t the generals to come up with that 30-day deadline is next week and what do you think president trump will actually do? >> well, look, one of the problems that we've had is that we don't have very good timely intelligence. and we have got to solve that problem. that doesn't mean thousand of american or nato forces or even blue helmets from the u.n. but it does mean that we have to have intelligence officers on the ground, as few as possible, but as many as need i had. and we must have timely accurate intelligence in order to go after the enemy. >> chris: but, rick, intel isn't going to be enough. i mean, the president is going to want to want an action plan saying we need more intelligence first. do you think that's going to be enough for donald trump? >> no. but i think that's the missing piece, chris. what we have had is a lot of bombing. we have had a lot of drone strikes. we have had a lot of individual military actions without timely intelligence. for me, that's the missing piece

. >> dickerson: let me ask -- >> it is a story of accomplishment. and that is not what we are talking about. >> dickerson: well, we are talking about the declaring that the press is the enemy and i just wanted to ask you this. in the past when the president, when he was a candidate and he targeted people, say, protesters at a rally, some people found that an opportunity to take license and target those people. as a spokesman for white house here with us today, what would you say to anybody who might take license with the idea when the president says the press is the enemy and act on that declaration by the president? >> well, i don't know what you mean by act on. i mean certainly we would never condone violence but i do think we condone critical thought, and i think if americans put critical thought which i think they will into what they are reading in these newspapers and actually what is being accomplished by the trump administration, they would realize that the press in many cases a not been doing their job in reporting the truth. and the truth i

let me zoom out and show you what's going on.t to put the satellite on here because it looks like this situation is sinking south. sure, this one is but let me zoom on out and it's this area right here that is going to come in during the afternoon -- or later parts of the morning into the afternoon hours, and push another band of some moderate and heavy rain across most of our neighborhoods, especially up in the north bay. all right, now let's focus in on the winds. san mateo bridge, dumbarton bridge, they're coming out of the south at about 20 to 25 miles per hour. look at the bay bridge. look at this wind. sheets of rain, sliding right across the light there. and that's 24 to 39 miles per hour and it gets faster when you get up off the water and on to the bridge. there's just nothing to stop it. so, you got to be careful on our east/west bridges, strong storm today, tapers this evening, another storm thursday and friday and a warm, dry sunny saturday through monday. you can see the yellows, the oranges right in the heart of the

let me put it up here. a former kgb agent, what he's done to fund and promost the accept raists in yukraine. proxy wars. and then there is the list of misserious deaths that are putin related. this is not something that an american leader has done similar. that's what the president seemed to say. >> that's not what the president said in the least. >> why can't he say a negative thing about vladimir putin? >> he has expressed himself in the campaign, an election that we won, that he was determined to go forward and see whether or not we might be able to start anew in a relationship with russ russia. the president has said many times if we were able to work with russia and confront isis, that would be a good thing. what you have in president trump is someone who is not going to look in the rearview mirror so much as looking out the windshield. but he's also made it very clear, chuck, maybe not, maybe it's not going to work out. but i think he's absolutely determined, question had a productive conversation wit

>> let me say this, we will be guided by our values. our values guide us, we are in the going say no to president trump on things we might totally free with, easy example. he calls for closing the carried interest loophole, something democrats have stood for and republicans have opposed i am not going to say no because his name is on it, but he has moved so far away from moderate positions, you know, he campaigned as a populist againt the democratic and republican establishments, but he is governing as a hard right guy, and his values are so far away from ours it is hard to see where he would cooperate, we could cooperate request him. you know, his cabinet, hard right, not populist, bankers, billionaires, conflicts of interest, people who want to end medicare. those who demean workers. >> dickerson: you talk about your values but you also have got your voters and people protesting in front of your house that say resist or resign. it looks like the situation in the democratic party is the democrats can never cooperate with the president,

let me also recognize the military families and spouses who bravely shoulder the burdens of war. i want every military family in this country to know that our administration is at your service. we stand with you 100%. we will protect those who protect us and we will never, ever let you down. as your president, i have no higher duty than to protect the american people. highest duty we have. i said it the other night. great, great supreme court nominee, you all saw that. but i said to myself, perhaps the only thing more important to me definitely is the defense of our nation. supreme court is so important, but we have to defend our nation. and we will do that, believe me. we will do that. and each and every one of you is central to that middle. the men and women serving in socom and sencom have poured out their hearts and souls for this country. they've really experienced things very few people get to experience. the you've shed your blood across the continents and the oceans. you've engaged the enemy on distant battlefields, toiled in the burning heat and bitter cold and sacrifice

but let me ask you anyway. it seems to me that there are a number of professions that come to mind immediately. where to my mind at least, it's impossible for a person in this said arena to not think about his or her legacy alongside the work they do. for example if, i'm the president of the united states, i have to believe that with everything you do, you know that everything do you is a part of history. you have to be concerned not just in the last year or so, but throughout your term. you ought to be, it seems to me, at least considering how is this going to play historically even though i want to do the right thing in this moment? okay, so as an architect, i put you in that field. what you do will last forever and ever. think do tear stuff down. but the stuff you build -- >> i had five buildings torn down. >> let me ask that question first. how does that field when you build something, put your heart and blod and body and spirit and they tear it down? how do you process that? >> well, it depends on what the

let me put that in context. of the $1.65 billion that we will pay next year to the state's retirement system, 78% of that, nearly $1.3 billion is what we're paying to make up for what past administrations and past legislatures failed to do. simply put, our generation is paying for connecticut's past mistakes. is that frustrating? of course it is. is it necessary? absolutely. it's also the right thing to do. our state retirees dedicated their lives and careers to public service, we need to pay them the pensions that they were promised. let's also acknowledge and thank today's workers for their effort in support of connecticut's residents and businesses. in 2011, we worked at the bargaining table to help put connecticut on a more sustainable fiscal path. together we changed benefits, reduced longevity payouts, restructured state pensions, raised the retirement age, and required all employees to pay for a portion of their post employment benefits for the first time. we saved the state $1.6 billion on our unfunded l

let me just put it up here.bviously, a former kgb agent, in itself an institution of mass killings, what he's done to promote separatists in eastern ukraine, proxy wars that he's gotten involved in that, of course, ended up in the killing of innocent passengers on mh-17. then there's the list of mysterious deaths that are putin-related. this is not -- what american leader has done something similar? that's what the president seemed to say there. >> no, that's not what the president said in the least. >> then why can't he say a negative thing about vladimir put sn putin? >> he has expressed himself in the campaign, an election that he won that he was determined to go forward and see whether or not we might be able to start anew in a relationship with russia. the president has said many times if we got along with russia better that would be a got thing for the world. if we were to confront isis and destroy radical islamic terrorism, that would be a good thing and what you have in trump is someone who is not going

let me start with security.

let me were people that, $75 million. what if -- what if we had taken $10 million of that and hired 100 full-time workers and $50,000 a year for two years? but the corporate media in new york over ever that owns all the television stations, let them take the $65 -- let them take the $65 million. give me the $10 million. when we get into those communities and talk to people, and those 100 employees will be buying things from small businesses. it will be going to the restaurants, maybe renting, may be buying a new car and investing in the communities and make the economy grow. we have got to get off on that money train that we are spending $1 billion of corporate media and we can invest right in our own communities. [applause] >> time left over. >> my good friend earlier said he'd would say some in the public cost him the election. what i know -- what i'm going to say i know will. we are good at speaking and saying, speak power, speak truth. but what we don't do is speak to to each other. hillary rodham clinton did not win

maria: let me ask you, congressman, about your trip because you along with house speaker paul ryan andlegation of house lawmakers went to the southern border and toured the rio grande valley to observe border security operations. we've got some pictures of you at border. tell us what you saw. >> well, we flew by blackhawk and horses on the ground and patrol boats in the river, and we saw, you know, how open, wide open the rio grande valley sector is in my home state where most of the illegal crossings take place. more importantly, we got an intelligence briefing, the speaker and myself, about the threats south of the border from the drug cartels and potential terrorists. human trafficking, drug trafficking, violence and corruption coming into the united states. that's why the completion of the wall is necessary, to keep these threats out of the united states. and the trump administration is moving very quickly, in fact, a request for proposals were just sent out by the department, and responses will come back probably next month in terms of how are we going to construct this, what is i

but wait, let me finish. you said you were going to let me finish. secondly, these policies, these particular policies have nothing to do with that particular crime because the people that are committing those crimes are not folks that are here illegally. now, we do have a challenge for all of america on issues of violence that we really got to get a handle on. the question gets to be how do you actually do that and what is the best way? to answer to your second question is how do i know this, is there any empirical data? i rely on my generals in the field, and evokes guys in the american cities are the major police chase across america along with the maser sheriff association who always have told us. if you guys make us become the deportation force for i.c.e., we are going to put all these individuals back in the shadows and it's going to make us harder for us to solve crimes. >> tucker: i wrote a book on this actually, years ago. i heard this line many times, but we study crime. their armies of criminals in american universities, and no one has sho

alex, let me just ask you. do you think it is any piece of what we witnessed yesterday in the east room according to you and your wonderful newspaper. are you hearing that had anything to do with his decision to say thanks but no thanks. >> i don't think it was the eastern performance specifically. but, sure, the larger back drop of this administration being run with the president as this mercurial, unpredictable, outsized personality. if you is someone who spent your whole life working your way up through a disciplined, unconventional system in a lot of ways, i think it's not difficult to see why that would be daunting and offputting. if you have a reputation of your own to protect why it would be a risky bet. >> okay. so it's not flynn. it is not harward. the question now is who is it going to be some let me play some sound because manu raju is excellent. >> one person i think would be very, very strong is john bolton. john is someone who is very well known here on the hill. republicans and democrats know joh

let me assure you, mr. secretary, in the united states we're about the process of strengthening our military and restoring the arsenal of democracy, working with members of congress we intend to increase military funding to make it possible for us to provide for the common defense for the people of the united states but also meet the obligations that we have with our treaty allies, including in this historic treaty. america, therefore, i can say with confidence, america will do our part. but europe's defense requires europe's commitment as much as ours. at the wales summit in 2014, all members of the nato alliance declared their intention to move towards a minimum security investment of 2% of their gross domestic product on defense within a decade. as a candidate for office, president trump referred preempted to the fact that for too long, for too many, this burden has not been shared fairly among our nato allies and that must come to an end. at this moment the united states and four other nato members meet

let me say it is my great privilege to serve as vice president for the 45th president of the united states. and the president directed me to go to munich and to come here to brussels with a specific message. go to munich to the munich security conference and make it clear as i do so again today at nato headquarters that the united states is expressing strong support for nato even as we challenge nato and our allies to a vault to the new and widening challenges and further meet their responsibilities. in this ever-changing, ever complicated world of threats. eu, theh regard to the president also directed me to come to brussels and i had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of the european union throughout the morning. the desire of the united states to continue operation and partnership with the european union. we respect the determination of the people of great britain as manifested in brexit and we respect the judgment of the peoples of europe in the european union. as i said today too many leaders we look forward to working across the channel with all parties in the years ahead on

let me say this. the most courageous people i know. i know people who had to march and came home bleeding. i know people who saw family members hanging from trees. i have lived long enough in the south to see blood on the hands of those who tried to get people to register. i watched for the last seven months people come to work after their lives were threatened. after they had to deal with bomb threats. they did that work for you. i will never back down from them. [applause] many of them children. how many of you had to bury a child last year? how many of you had to come to work after you were called many names, and thought you would not live to see the night? don't start anymore of this, we are unified party. we are going to lead us. [applause] are we perfect? no. i came into a party that had a winner takes all. i came into a party that had a higher threshold. i came into a party that had doors locked. we made it a stronger party. a more wholesome party. we are the people's party. we are going to become stronger together. our unity co

. >> dickerson: let me ask you about that judge, the federal judge in washington. the president referred to him as a quote so-called judge. now the president can criticize anybody he wants. criticism is one thing, in this instance, the big distinction the president of the united states is calling into question the legitimacy of the judge and whether he has a legitimate role to make the decision he made. is it right for the president to question the legitimacy of this judge, not ruling, not the opinion, not the policy but the legitimacy. >> every president has a right to be critical of the other branches of the federal government, as you noted the simple fact is i think the american people welcome the candor of this president and the president and the whole administration frankly are frustrated because the law could not be more clear here, john. not only his constitutional authority to conduct foreign policy for this country but clear statutory authority in federal law today gives the president the ability to determine who is given access to this country and who is
