paul: welcome to "the journal editorial report," i'm paul gigot.t was president trump in brussels on thursday addressing fellow nato leaders and calling for a united front in fighting terrorism following this week's deadly bombing at a concert in manchester, england. the islamic state took credit for that attack carried out by a 22-year-old british-born muslim who recently returned from a three week trip to libya and may have had isis training. the assault came just one day after president trump addressed arab leaders in saudi arabia, urging them to drive out terrorists and extremists in their midst. >> drive them out. drive them out of your places of worship. drive them out of your communities. drive them out of your holy land. and drive them out of this earth. paul: joining the panel this week, "wall street journal" columnist and deputy editor, dan henninger. editorial board member mary kiss el, and columnist bill mcgurn. so, bill, let's take a look at the whole trip. what do you think? success or not, this first excursion abroad? >> i think he's

paul: no?g thing is the continuity with respect at least to the nuclear deal from the trump administration and iran. the secretary of state certifying iranian compliance with the deal which i find absolutely incredible in the literal sevens, incredible. [laughter] and then this past week extending the waiver on certain critical economic sanctions held over from the obama administration. so it's directly continuous. they say the policy on the iran deal, the nuclear deal is under review -- towel awe. paul: yeah, that's what they're saying, we want to extend these because it's under review. >> but it sends a terrible signal. the compliance certification sends a worse signal because it's contrary to fact. paul: the president in the campaign promised i will recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. of all the promises he made in the campaign, that was one of the clearest. and yet now he's saying, the administration is saying we're not going to do that. is that a mistake? >> yes, it is, and it re

paul: welcome to the journal editorial report, i'm paul gigot .ouse narrowly passed a bill to repeal and replace obamacare and the plan as it stands faces long odds in the senate. president trump says the process has serve today -- served to unify the party. >> this has brought the republican party together. as much as we have came up with a really incredible health care plan, this has brought the republican party together. paul: joining the panel this week deputy editor dan henninger, kim strassel and joe rago. joe, how did they pull this off? it was dead in the water for a while. >> i think there was a sense of political urgency. this was really a big win for the house to overcome the defeat in march of the original bill and they made some policy compromises. if you look at the people who voted for this bill, moderates to really hardline conservatives they came together on a great bill. paul: well, it's not perfect. we have written critically of some parts of it. you think it's a substantial down payment on the pledge to repeal and replace obama

paul: absolutely.blem statements are wonderful. but once you have a problem statement, what do you do? the reason people are responding to it is because for once, there is scientific, grounded, corroborated, peer-reviewed of the 100 most substantive solutions. charlie: give me the five most important solutions you see. paul: we don't see it. we are 240 people collaborating. is not a list in terms of priority? paul: all the carbon data is from international institutions. what we did, is we gather this data. our research scientists, and we are reflecting it back to the world, what it knows. the top five are there and i would be happy to talk about them, but it's not what i see, it's what we know as a world. as international industries, academics, universities, at the u.n., and scientists. it gathered what humanity knows and is reflecting it back to humanity. charlie: is this becoming a crucial part of your life? gisele: yes. charlie: is this something you are becoming more and more an advocate to do some

paul: paul warnke disagrees. >> stopping testing would make us more secure.hat is security in a nuclear-age? security in a nuclear age is to have a retaliatory deterrence, forces that could survive any sort of strike by anybody else. and, still be in the position to wreak unacceptable devastation on the other side. we have that in spades. we have that on both sides, took 3/4 of their nuclear weapons away. what do we gain by testing? the only thing you gain is the illusion that you could fight a nuclear war. that is a deadly illusion. paul: we are at a point in u.s.-soviet relations were we can and do clear explosions. the soviet union declared a moratorium on nuclear weapons test as of august 6, 1985. the anniversary of hiroshima. they stopped testing and pledged not to resume as long as we did. in spite of this pledge the united states continued testing even after the soviets stop. the soviets have announced they will resume testing because we have not stopped. caspar weinberger. testing isberger: essential and a comprehensive test ban would undermine the cr

the second one about paul manafort. reached out to paul manafort's spokesman for comment on this reporting. he released this statement. quote, mr. manafort has not been contacted by any authorities other than the u.s. congress and officials responsible for fara guidance which is the foreign agent registration act. and he is cooperate with those inquiries. now since they bring it up, since paul manafort's spokesman is bringing up the foreign agent registration act, when he says that they've heard from officials responsible for fara guidance, that means presumably they've heard from justice department officials about the foreign agent registration act and paul manafort potentially having to register under that act. i should tell you that we have reported on this show that even though it has been widely reported and it is widely believed that paul manafort retroactively registered as a foreign agent after he left the campaign, in fact he has not done so. we've also reported this odd news out of the justice department which

but what about matters involving paul manafort? is jeff sessions keeping himself out of anything at doj involving paul manafort or not? is he recused from matters involving trump's campaign chairman? because there are interesting questions about what's happening with the department of justice and paul manafort. right? is jeff sessions involved in any work at the department of justice concerning paul manafort or is he recused? we can report tonight that the justice department will not say. we started asking yesterday. we asked throughout the day today. we have asked it five times in five different ways, including me making the request myself personally, multiple times in as many different ways as i could think of it. they will not say whether or not he's recused. he is recused on flynn, they say. he is recused on things related to the trump campaign broadly. they won't say about manafort. so i started this by saying, buckle up, this is going to be chaotic. there is a real question about as to whether or not the attorney general has

and as soon as paul ryan heard what kevin mccarthy had to say, paul ryan shut down that conversation. kevin mccarthy is the house republicans' truth teller. but he never meant to be. kevin mccarthy was supposed to have paul ryan's job. he was supposed to be speaker of the house. but that got derailed when kevin mccarthy said something about the benghazi investigation of hillary clinton. let's listen to that. >> everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? but we put together a benghazi special committee, a select committee. what are her numbers today? her numbers are dropping. why? because she is untrustable. but no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen. >> as you can see, that was not a secret recording of kevin mccarthy saying the benghazi committee investigation was purely political. that's what ruined kevin mccarthy's ascent to the speakership. that's when the republicans realized this guy can't handle it. he says things we're not supposed to say publicly. kevin mccarthy said what everyone knew. the benghazi's mission was

the four leaders and paul nuttall.remain in the single market, said there was debate between them and paul nuttall and at one point, paul nuttall told tim farron to stop crying about wanting to stay in the eu and let the people have it decided for them. nicola sturgeon accused paul nuttall of being theresa may's spokesperson sara got rather feisty. from then on, we heard about the nhs, what more hospitals can do. an elderly lady here who actually worked in the nhs asked this question and paul nuttall said he was investing £6 billion more in the hospitals, caroline lucas said the service was in crisis and more money had to be invested into the sector, and tim farron used personal anecdotes throughout the debate, referring to his family when he answered questions, saying his mum had died of ovarian cancer and therefore he understood the challenges facing the nhs. they talked about education as well. the key topics covered but there was a very humorous point in this debate when paul nuttall called leanne wood natalie twic

he's going to get rid of paul ryan. today i heard paul ryan isa rid of paul ryan.long... you know, the groups have all come together. we have the tuesday group, so many groups. the freedom caucus. they are all great people. we have a lot of groups, but they all came together. really, in a la st they all came together. really, in a last three or four days, especially in the last day. i can see mark, kevin, so mini people, jim. —— so many people. this has brought the republican party together. as much as we have come up republican party together. as much as we have come up with a really incredible health care plan, this has brought the republican party together. we are going to get this finished, and then we are going, as you know, we put our tax planning, it isa you know, we put our tax planning, it is a massive tax cut, the biggest tax cut in history of the country. i used to say the biggest since ronald reagan. now it is bigger than that. also, pure tax reform. we're going to get this done next. a lot of people said, how come you kept pushing health care, knowing

it's not working with paul ryan. he's going to get rid of paul ryan.y i heard paul ryan is a genius. >> i'll take whatever. >> so, i just want to introduce somebody to say a few words who really has been, i think, treated very unfairly, but it no longer matters because we won and we'll finish it off and we're going to go onto a lot of other things. we're going to have a tremendous four years and maybe even more importantly we're going to have a tremendous eight years. >> so, give me a sense, molly, of their relationship going forward. how is this going to play into that? >> i mean, it's kind of like the relationship has -- as it has been. it's gone through so many different rocky periods. it just keeps getting better and better. it seems, until the next fight that goes on. again, remember, paul ryan and reince priebus are very close. they've known each other for years. paul ryan was giddy when reince priebus was voted to be head of rnc and asked him to speak to members and big hugs and very excited. so when we're talking about paul ryan, we're also tal

his sister testified against paul and his mother and only served four years. paul's mother was given 90 years. >> as far as i know, she's the old ed woman prisoner in the state prison of indiana. >> paul was eligible for parole after 26 years and we were there the day he was released. >> you'll never see me here again after today. >> komyatti quickly landed a factory job and was doing well. >> if you want to wake up with that attitude in the morning that today will be a good day, today is going to be better than yesterday. >> but komyatti could never have prepared for the bizarre chain of events ahead of him. six months after his release, three indiana state prison inmates staged a daring escape. komyatti found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. he and a friend had gone to a casino and was seen by an off-duty correctional officer the same night three inmates got away. komyatti was picked up for facilitating the escape and was eventually cleared of any involvement. but because he had violated his parole by driving a car with only a learner's permit,

and it is up to paul ryan.aul ryan could say if he doesn't want to, if the behavior was too inappropriate, and that was the theme from republicans across the board today. >> we didn't handle core somebody, body slam them when i went to school. i missed that course. i'm sorry, i missed it. >> the left has precipitated this tense confrontational approach throughout the country in recent months. >> i believe we should all treat the press with respect. i try to lead by example. i hope the republican is successful today because his views are the views of the people of montana. >> it should also be civil. >> if he wins tonight? >> yes. >> confrontational and physical are not the same thing. while the fight put a national spotlight on this local election and asked whether president trump stands by his endorsement of gianforte, a spokesperson tells nbc the white house has, quote, no comment. but with president trump engulfed in controversy himself, the outcome could have a very big national impact. and with that part o

after paul briefed a the bill the two men briefed them.ven in front of the others he bore down on paul. there was a market shift in bill's personality. on this night, he wanted to know what the staff didn't know and why they didn't know it. then and particularly in iowa. the numbers have come in as very small fractions. paul gave up the dates to the former president. and reports that weren't meaningful updates. but remained upbeat if not rosy about hillary's chances of pulling it out. paul concluded that what really mattered was which caucus site remained unreported. if they were in the core of des moines hillary was screwed. they also knew the state like the road. it is not getting better. it will keep going down. let me to say before we go any further were really happy to have c-span here. we really like to say it. we found out as we were walking in here today that this book showed up as number one on barnes & noble on the website we would be remiss in not mentioning them. they send along the wall. they are really responsible for a lot o

so to speak. >> 2:00 for dustin paul. >> the person who visits paul the most is the woman who helpedhis grandmother sheila. >> i'm sure you hear this from every grandmother, but he is a real good-hearted kind person and never was in trouble his whole life. never even got in a fight in school. but i think basically there was a substance abuse periodically through the years. that's what caused this behavior. >> me and my grandmother are really close. she's like a second mom to me, basically. my grandmother. >> we've always been very close. very close. >> though his grandmother has arrived in person to visit -- >> there he is. hey, dusty. >> even at the jail visitation is conducted through a video link between the housing unit and a visitor center. >> so here's the news of the week. right after i left for a few hours i started choking really hard, like i couldn't breathe. so i went to emergency, and i was there for four days. >> hmm. >> so they diagnosed me with pneumonia, copd, congestive heart failure. >> really? >> yeah. they're going to monitor me real closely. >> that is not good.

paul allen in canberra. take us through some of the highlights of the budget and some of the losers are the big banks in australia. reporter: that's right. i will give you some of the headline numbers first aired $29.4 billion. the dividends are narrowing in australia. there is a forecast return to deficit by the year 20242021. you can always get protest budget. there's a little action going on behind me now. sure if they were upset by the bank levy or not. some of the assumptions about do rely onto surplus some pretty optimistic assumptions about growth. for example, gdp getting to 2.57%, inflation above 2%, iron ore around $50 per ton by the march quarter. i spoke to scott morrison last night and asked him about these assumptions, whether they were realistic. >> our international forecast, they are actually more conservative than what the imf said. the domestic forecast, simply be consisted -- consensus of markets currently, they seem in a reasonable range consistent with our forecast. that is also true wh

i understand why paul says that that.s the conservatives trying to win back the ukip votes they have lost over the last 25 years? it's not an alliance doctor who alien they absorbed ukip voters. that's what parties do. the labour party sometimes, sounds like, it doesn't want anybody who ever voted tory to vote for it because they are toxic. where is the remain vote then? it's not going to the lib dems. there hasn't been the resurgence that you were expecting. where are the remainers in this? it's been, no question, disaint poking night it's been, no question, disappointing night for the lib dems and who would have hoped to do better. specially in the leave areas it's proved it's not possible tojust, sort of, win back areas that the lib dems had once before. in remain areas where the lib dems have a presence there have been points of light, good results for the lib dems. paul is basically right. i don't think i've ever said that before. we need to find a way. none of the parties of the left have anything to challenge there

why would they not be exerting that same pressure on paul manafort? it just raises interesting questions about the disparate treatment of these two people, and whether or not manafort is getting the same kind of pressure. the other difference we've got between flynn and manafort is that jeff sessions has said overtly that he at the department of justice is recused from any matter involving mike flynn. we thought when we started calling the justice department about this that they would tell us that attorney general jeff sessions is also recused from matters involving paul manafort since manafort was the campaign chairman. the justice department will not say that they told us a million other things. they gave us paragraph-long stories about what recusal is, where it comes from, and this whole idea of recusal and it's a big question. and what do you really mean by that. we went back at them again and again and again. i'm considering just publishing our back and forth between me and the justice department. >> some of it involves rachel maddow. staff was m

join me former texas congressman two-time presidential candidate ron paul, welcome back dr. paul. let's talk about about tax a little bit. this is something you has been awful lot of time thinking about in your estimation what is the most egregious current tax violation that you have seen? >> i would say there are two that are equal because both attack your income. one is the income tax directly and the corporate tax cuts aren't income tax to but also the inflation tax. i see the problem is a spending problem. sometimes they tax us and sometimes that aren't sometimes they print the money paid to talk on taxes very important we should do we can to lower it but the truth is that taxes the spending as a tax on the system. is revenue-neutral stuff is a bunch of distortion and distraction but how much will really serious thought to have you heard recently there is no talk of that and how do you pay for a? why do i have to pay for a? kennedy: one thing i don't understand why does that money up to be shifted to spending programs? is so incredibly insulting because the burden not only goe

paul...de many spending commitments in your ma nifesto, spending commitments in your manifesto, they are going to cost a lot of money, you would also add to borrowing — how does that create the economy which enables more to be spent on working people who need it? what we have had is a government for the past seven years which has borrowed more, run up a greater deficit and cut public services at the same time, and at the lowest growth rate of any industrial country. the system they have is not working. what we're proposing is to raise corporation tax, yes, in order to make the funding commitments that i have already outlined. but it is also to establish a serious national investment bank to investing in info structure all around this country, so we structure all around this country, so we do get a sustainable, growing economy. we cannot go on giving money away to the very rich. this cove na nt is money away to the very rich. this covenant is proposing another 60 billion in tax giveaways in th

from the mind and the leadership imagine nation of paul ryan. how many failures can this man pile up and how many obstacles can he present to the president of the united states, the republican party the american people? >> well, the america people are not going to accept any more. to your point. is president working harder ent including myself, i work around the clock trying to not only move ball forward but make sure we get it done. from the out works me, he -- i be on phone with him at midnight then at 5:30 the next morning here, is working for the american people, if more people knew that, they would have a grader appreciation. but with regard to leadership we have to deliver this week on health care, if we don't, it will be a failure of huge proportions. the leadership has to do that, did yowith you not just the houn senate as well, people are tired of excuses, if we're going to drain the swamp, send us all home, get new leadership start over. lou: one thing we talk about draining the swamp. president's motto and his promise, that swamp as y

paul ryan is going to be very mad at paul ryan when paul ryan finds out. >> too much of a government focused. it's not a free-market plan. >> eric: let's talk the politics, nick adams. donald trump, contrary to what krystal ball said, he didn't promise to have fewer americans covered. he promised to repeal and replace obamacare, and he's well on that way. >> called donald trump lazarus because people were saying this health care bill was dead, buried, and cremated. donald trump, the president, has pulled out a great victory. is it a touchdown? no, but it's a first down. the ball is being advanced. for seven years, republicans were bobbing in the slipstream of the democratic party and now there is some action. i think it's a great day and i think it's a big wish and celebrate. obamacare was terrible, is terrible, and i think this is great progress. >> eric: eboni, this is one sixth of the american economy, it's a big legislative deal. we spend around 70% of american income, gdp, on health care. other countries don't come anywhere near that. the world is somewhere around 9.5, 10%. the

the conversations focused on paul manafort and michael flynn. the times reports russian officials became confident they could use manafort and flynn for a specific goal, that both men could be used to help shape mr. trump's opinions on russia, though ultimately is unknown whether russian officials actually tried to directly influence manafort and flynn. russia's election meddling is well-known, the hacking, the leaking, disinformation and cybercampaigns that the fbi by the way is still exploring at this hour. like reports that russian internet operations distributed millions of twitter and facebook post carrying links to stories on sites like breitbart news and kremlin wars and kremlin backed rt news and sputnik news. this new report tonight is about effort aimed at two americans, but two americans atop the trump campaign, manafort and flynn. and it's a big question about whether those efforts worked and whether they have any link to how those men advise trump who became president. now, we don't know the answer, but we do know flynn is the only

it, it's not working with paul ryan, he's going to get rid of paul ryan. then today i heard paul ryan's a genius, he's come a long -- >> all right. that was president trump just a few minutes ago at the white house. our own chris jansing was there. she still is on the scene, in fact. chris, we were saying trying to think of the last time you had a major vote in the house then they all got on buses and went over to the white house for a ceremony. i think it was -- i think it was the impeachment of president clinton, december '98, all the democrats went over there afterwards. what was the purpose of this ceremony, because this is not the finish line for this bill today. >> reporter: i can tell you that was fascinating to watch because clearly they are setting the stage for a couple of things. one, they are making their case as this heads to the senate. a lot of skeptics there as you well know. and it almost sounded to me, steve, like a prebuttal to what we will hear when the cbo score inevitably comes out and concerns of a lot of people who have opposed this

paul ryan, today i heard paul ryan is a genius. blake: heavy lifting is hardly over. it heads to senate where many skeptical republicans look to take a scalpel to the measure. lauren: dozens of democrats sang the 1969nah, nah, nah. they were saying republicans would lose midterm elections, listen in. that doesn't end there. hillary clinton tweeting a shameful failure of policy and morality by gop today. fight back on behalf of the millions of families that will be hurt by their actions. nicole: more on the healthcare debate, political analysts kristen haglund. it's pretty amazing and have to go through the senate. paul ryan said he worked with four administrations and never before has he seen it coming together the way donald trump and mike pence have done this. can they do it for the senate? >> that's the big thing to focus on. this is a huge victory for the republican party. they haven't had the best 100 days as a governing majority, right, and this show that they could actually govern and bring the various sections of their part

fifa are investigating the transfer of paul pogba to manchester united.juventus last summer. fifa want to know who was involved in the £89.3 million deal — and how much money they earned out of it. united say fifa have all the necessary documents from last august. well let's talk to our sports correspondent katie gornall who is at old trafford for us. the allegation is that paul pogba, his agent made a fortune from this deal. that is right. this stems from a book due to be published in germany making claims that have been widely reported in the media, the central claim is a breakdown of this £89 million world record transfer of paul pogba from juventus to manchester united in the summer, claiming that his agent received £41 million as part of this transfer. a further allegation in the book also saying that may in some weighbridge ownership rules. but at the moment no suggestion that anyone has done anything wrong, fifa said it is not anything wrong, fifa said it is not a formal investigation but they are wanting a bit more detail on it. they've written to
