his priorities are their priorities. when you talk about funding the wall, talk about funding defense. this is a big deal for some of those numbers. i think that you'll see support if we get a chance to bring something to the floor. >> we will have a debt ceiling vote sometime in the fall. >> i have heard of that one as well. >> we asked secretary mnuchin about it, particularly talked about these extraordinary measures he's using to get us up to the fall and at some point congress will vote. think they should approach that? would you like to see a clean debt ceiling increase? would you expect to attach some provisions to it? >> keeping in mind how we go about handling the debt ceiling depends on some other things. i know that sounds like it makes sense in washington only but here's the short version. the debt ceiling can be reconciled, which mean that if a budget passes the house and the senate, keep in mind the president never sent to budget, it's a joint resolution, and if it passes it can have reconciliation instructi

democrats some of their priorities. we think we've opened the door. i know that we have. >> and all your former colleagues in the freedom caucus prepared to see some of the democratic priorities, you're in such unique position because you know president donald trump really well and also your freedom caucus colleagues -- >> i think my colleagues get a ad name for at least the group that i helped found gets a bad name. people have pointed to the freedom caucus as the reason the health care bill failed. i think that's wholly inaccurate. we had a really good with count in our office in the white house over who was supporting the bill and who wasn't. about half of the freedom caucus supported the bill. half of the people did not. at the same time there's some centrist leaning republican groups in the house and some of them support the bill and some of them did not. we had 36 knows where it counted at the last count before additionbefore thedecision was made not to go to the floor d roughly half were in the freedom caucus and

-- >> his priorities are crystal clear. remember, starting in the first , director mulvaney engaged with appropriate or's on the house -- health side. this has been an ongoing discussion now for eight weeks. >> on the second issue, the 100 days, as someone mentioned the president tweeted that it was ridiculous -- a ridiculous timetable. wife the white house doing so ?uch this week you have indicated these activities gesturing from different people are because of the 100 days. why this push if it is a ridiculous timeline? >> we have gotten a decent amount of inquiries from you and your colleagues. to answer those -- >> save something for us? >> well, we are givers. [laughter] i don't think as anyone in this room that has not lodged a request to say -- we are running a story on the 100 day mark, doing this on the 100 day mark. we answer make sure your question says truthfully as possible and thoroughly and comprehensively. thesel have to fill requests coming in from you and your colleagues. but i also think that we are proud

reporter: is he working on priorities? mr. spicer: the priorities have been crystal clear. starting in march, director started working with the people on the house side. this has been an ongoing discussion with the senior team and appropriators in the house in particular. if ther: in 100 days, president tweeted that it was a ridiculous timetable, why is the white house doing so much this week? you have indicated all these activities this week, from hearing from different people, are because of the 100 days. why is that 100-day pushed ridiculous? had a numbere have of inquiries from you and your colleagues, so in order to answer those -- >> [indiscernible] mr. spicer: yeah. i do not think there is anyone who has not launched a request to say we are writing a story on the 100-day mark we want to make sure we answer your questions as truthfully and comprehensively. so we will have to fulfill these requests that are coming in, but we are proud and the president is proud of what he has been able to a conquest in the first 100 days. as we sprint toward these final hundred days, t

>> i think his priorities have been crystal clear. remember, it's starting in the first week of march, director mulvaney started on the house side for nm. >> then on the second issue, on the 100 days, if someone mention. . you have indicated that all of these activities this week from hundred. i think we got those from you and our colleagues, so in order to answer -- >> you gave something to us? >> you know, we're gifrs. i don't think there's anyone in this room that hasn't lodged a request to say, we're fighting a story on the 100 day mark. we're doing this on the 100th day mark. so we want to make sure you answer our questions as currently as porm, so that we are very proud and the president is very proud of what bezuidenhout even. . we'll make sure the people understand how much he's done in all the different areas, but we also would to sta. there is a lot has been accomplished, and i think it's appropriate to comment and to share with the american people all of the things that he has done to fulfill the pledges that he made before

priorities have been crystal clear. remember, starting in the first week of march, director mulvaney engaged with appropriators on the house side, and i'm not sure when he started with -- so this has been an ongoing discussion now for almost eight weeks with the senior team here and appropriators in the house in particular. >> and second on the 100 days, someone mentioned the president tweeted that it was ridiculous timetable or wh why is the white house doing so much this week? you have indicated that all of this activity this week from hearing from different people are because of the 100 days. why do this 100 day push if it's ridiculous? >> i think we've gotten a fairly decent amount of inquiries from you and your colleagues. so in order to answer those inquiries -- yeah, well, we're givers. we -- but i don't think anyone in this ram that hasn't lodged a request to say we're writing a story on the 100-day mark. we're doing this on the 100-day mark. so we want to make sure that we answer your questions as truthfully as

we covered a lot of ground in terms of aging priorities. hopefully, in our conversation, some of that can emerge about the changes that have emerged in corporate enforcement. that me start with jamie. let's get your initial reaction to what you thought was significant. jamie: the first thought i had was that the speech was carefully vetted. that, you have to love. i took note of a couple of things he said that were really striking. saying that me to make judgment about what is an honest mistake and what is willful misconduct. hand to theat his rule of law was very interesting. may haves where he departed from some of his predecessors -- not hugely but some were places where he was talking about the potential for disadvantaging u.s. companies when they are playing on an even playing field. he has clearly thought about that. it is clearly coming from his guts. . a concept that is quite familiar to the people in this room and to all of us. that is one. number two is that shareholders should not pay the price for an individual if they go awry.

>> i think his priorities have been crystal clear. starting in the first week of march he engaged with members of the house. this has been an on going discussion with the senior team here. and appropriators in the house in particular. >> on the second issue, on the 100 days, someone mentioned the president tweeted it was ridiculous timetable. why is the white house doing so much this week? you have indicated all these activities this week, from hearing from different people because of the 100 day. why do this 100 day push? >> i think we've gotten a fairly amount of inquiries from you and your colleagues. so in other words to answer those inquiries -- >> this is something for us? >> we're givers. [ laughter ] i don't think there's anyone in this room that hasn't launched a request to say, we're writing a story on the 100-day mark, we're doing this on the 100-day mark. so we want to make sure that we answer your questions as truthfully as possible. so we will have to fulfill all of these requests that are coming in from you and your col

all of these things, in a system of priorities.ight now the priority is to make sure that folks who present a public safety concern to the united states and our citizens are dealt with first. he is also very pleased that through his action and his vision through how we want to see a huge drop of illegal border crossing. that is a big accomplishment for this presidency, and something we are very proud of. >> border crossing is a big thing, that amnesty is a part. mr. spicer: i understand, i just walked you through the question. >> can you guarantee there will not be a government shutdown? mr. spicer: i cannot guarantee. i think that the work that director mulvaney and others have made in this negotiation has been very positive. they feel very confident that will not happen. >> he will not insist his priorities get funded? the border, the wall, increased security? mr. spicer: that is not what i said. mr. spicer: -- >> are you willing to shut down the government? mr. spicer: they are currently negotiating area we feel -- currently neg

those are really my priorities. along the way, i have to get the debt ceiling increased and do some other minor things. those are my major priorities. >> so you don't have ambitious goals is what i am hearing. >> it is a big agenda. ceiling -- >> i gave you a freebie. [laughter] i'm using superpowers. budget iso have the going to run out in april. are you confident we will get through those developments? nick is in charge of the budget, he is the right person to speak to about that. he is focused on the continuing resolution. i am focused on the debt ceiling. i donk you should know have these special powers, i get to move money around and do special things. even though we have hit the debt ceiling, we continue to fund the government. we had a big day on april 18. dollars onlions of tax day. it was impressive the number of transactions we do online. i am confident we will get the debt ceiling raised you'd hopefully before the summer. of leeway.nty i think we will have bipartisan support on raising the debt ceiling. w

we want our priorities funded, in one of the biggest priorities during the campaign was border securitykeeping americans safe and part of that was a border wall. we just don't understand why the democrats are so wholeheartedly against it. >> jon: let's talk about it with scott bolden, democratic strategist and former chairman of the democratic party in the district of columbia. former assistant to george w. bush, i hope you were both able to hear nancy pelosi in that report a couple minutes ago. she said that the wall is, in her view, immoral, expensive, unwise. immoral, really, why? >> because from appearance purposes and given the political rhetoric from donald trump during the campaign, he's building a wall to keep out mexicans who want to be americans. that feels, looks, and sounds not only just racist but also immoral because we are a country of immigrants. our ancestors are immigrants and building a wall to keep them out is going to be super expensive and really not necessary. if you listen to general kelly comey says the numbers at border crossings are down to historic lows, so w

so those are really my priorities. along the way i've got the get the debt ceiling increased, do a few other minor the things. but those are my major priorities. >> so you don't have ambitious goals, is what i'm hearing. >> a big agenda. >> you are raising a really important question. the debt ceiling -- >> i gave you a freebie there. >> i know. it's going to be raised. you have extraordinary measures. >> super powers. >> you are. i'm sure you'll find them everywhere. but -- and then you also have the budget that is going to run out the end of april. very political issues. are you confident we're going to get through those? >> middle class is in charge of the -- mick is in charge of the budget. he's obviously safely and very focused on the continuing resolution. i am focused on the debt ceiling. as you know, i do have these special powers that i get to move money around and do special things. so even though we've hit the debt ceiling we continue to fund the government. a big day april 18, took if tens of billions of do

not his, keeping obamacare fully functional and funded as a priority that's important to you? what's wrong with that kind of horse trading in washington? >> what is wrong with that scenario is the wall. he talks about how tall it is, how will pay for it, and all of the rest of that. you have to understand this part if there is a border. the president, i think, talking about this wall, is expressing a sign of weakness. he is saying i can't control our borders, i have to build a wall. we would certainly like to -- we have a responsibility to control our borders. building a wall is not the answer, not here, not anyplace. >> let me move on to the state of the democratic party. i imagine it's where you sit on whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for the party, but let me ask you this. is the energy inside the democratic party a bit overstated if john ossoff gets the same number in that district? >> hillary clinton was a famous person running for president of the united states in a high-profile election. ossoff is running an off-season election. low turnout for the rest. we're v

host: thank you for telling us your priorities. on twitter, corporations are getting what they paid for. it is called lobbying. policy should incentivize hiring and make it easier for job craters to hold money. cindy emily summit, missouri. good morning. caller: good morning. yes, hi. first of all, i want to thank mr. murphy, dr. murphy for all the work he has done with the cares act antiquities to do to fight for mental health. im a parent of an adoptive daughter who has struggled with adoption trauma and attachment, ptsd, bipolar type of behaviors and i recently spoke at with the new frontier on mental health because i was a case study of somebody who has fought and i won for -- with my insurance claim. in the process of being a family in crisis and trying to take care of a child, i learned about it and trying to dig and get help in this crazy, broken system. i was really disappointed in the lack of what samsa was able to offer in terms of any assistance in mental health. i was at the point where i was looking for anything, any t

so those are really my priorities. along the way i have to get the debt ceiling increased, a few other minor things, but those are my major priorities. >> you don't have ambitious goals. >> a big agenda. >> it is. real quick on that because you are raising a really important question, the debt ceiling is going -- >> i gave you a free -- freeby there. i'm using super powers. >> and then you also have the budget, obviously, that runs out the end of april. very political issues. are you confident we'll get through those -- >> well, mick is in charge of the budget and he'll be the right person to speak on that. the is focused on the continuing resolution. i am focused on the debt ceiling. i think i do have these special powers that i get to move money around and do special things, so even though we have hit the debt ceiling we can continue to fund the government. by the way we had a big day on april 18th, just saying, took in -- >> a lot of money coming in. >> 10s of billions of dollars on tax day. impressive the number of

security is a top priority but the task of stabilising mosul after is won't be easy.med at the government before is arrived. protesters came out onto the streets and the army and police force were accused of corruption, sectarianism and abuse. the mostly sunni city had come to hate the practices of a shia—dominated army. by the time is entered mosul the anger had reached its peak. the big challenge now is to restore security without reigniting sectarian tensions. today we have joined these agents from the iraqi national security service. they are about to raid addresses all across mosul. their aim is to root out is sleeper cells that have launched attacks across the city. the plan is to arrest nine suspects in multiple locations. as we enter the first neighbourhood, everything looks very familiar. incredibly we have arrived on another street i grew up in as a child. my friend's house was here. and we were sitting there when we played. and this was our football pitch. we had to seek shelter on the pavement whenever there was a car coming. now i hearfrom children they d

>> our priority in syria, john, really hasn't changed. i think the president has been quite clear, first and foremost we must defeat isis. >> dickerson: next up, a key republican who says more must be done to stop the syrian dictator's attacks on his own people. senator john mccain praised the president's move but said it is about more than just isis. >> it is now vitally important we develop a strategy, we put that strategy in motion and we bring peace too the region. i believe the united states of america can address both at the same time. we can walk and chew gum. >> dickerson: plus the senate goes nuclear in order to get neil gorsuch confirmed to the supreme court. we will have some thoughts about that plus plenty of am sister on syria, russia, north korea, and the week in politics, it is all coming up on "face the nation". >> dickerson: good morning and welcome to "face the nation". i am john dickerson. tensions are rising just about all over the world this morning. there were more air strikes this weekend on in syria where the chemi

>> so the first priority is the triad. inside the triad, the first priority is the submarine. but it's important to note that the triad as a whole has to be modernized. nonetheless, if we don't get out to the submarine, then we run a very precipitous risk in about a decade, as the ohio class reaches end of life. >> okay. so that was going to be my next question. you painted a pretty grim picture of the future of the ohio class, if we don't start moving. and i think you said that it will be dangerous to actually put it under the water. >> you know, you can probably tell from my uniform, i'm not a naval officer. >> i do see that. >> but i do have good friends who are naval officers, who are submariners. they've gone through the analysis with me in detail, including my deputy, vice admiral chaz richard. they've gone through that with me in detail. and they can tell me that each assault and battery mari submarine is built to go down to pressure a certain number of times. once you reach end of life, you know when that is, you can predict accurately when it is, and once you reach en

president will negotiate for his priorities and get the best bill we can and move down the road. elizabeth: that means there are a couple of sticking points they're going to have to be off the table. tell me what is still up for

and then we get into the priority of damage assessment.ant for all those who have been damaged in any way by this tornado that they are going to have their damages assessed and responded to as swiftly as possible. those priorities aside, there are certain needs, certain needs that must be met for those that have been harmed by these tornadoes. you know, one thing that we see whenever catastrophe strikes in the state of texas is texans want to be very helpful. texans want to donate something. if we admire and respect and appreciate all of their donations very much. this is important, however, and that is it's important that your donations be made very strategically, very thoughtfully. because here's the deal, there's -- we want you to donate something that can and will be used by those who have been harmed by these tornadoes. so we want you to think about what you want to donate. i can tell you that the most effective thing that you can donate would be money. let me give an easy example. you may think you want to donate clothing to people w

in the central bank's top priority in the last few years.inflation they immediately become cautious and prefer holding rates. that is why there is no reason, economists do not expect any rate cut in the months to come. thank you. the 81st masters tees off today in augusta, one of golf‘s four majors. and like any big sporting event, there's some big numbers behind it as ramzan karmali has been finding out. if you win the golf championship at augusta you get rewarded with a green jacket. unlike here augusta you get rewarded with a greenjacket. unlike here on some augusta you get rewarded with a green jacket. unlike here on some or road the cost of thatjacket is just $250. —— elon saville row. if you win the tournament to get $1.8 million, lack written‘s danny willett did last year. even if you come last, you still get rewarded with a cheque of $20,000, plenty for a jacket like this. but for us mere mortalsjust a jacket like this. but for us mere mortals just getting into the ground could be quite an expensive day out. 250,000 people are expect

we are at laser forecast on making sure that the priority is on middle-class families and those aspiring to get into the middle class. when you look at $70 billion to build a wall versus what we support which is using that 70 billion and other resources to build roads, bridges, water, sewer systems, broadband so that everybody who lives in a small town or rural america can connect to the internet to operate their small business, their farm, their home, their students have access, telemedicine can make sure that doctors and healthcare is available for people in small towns all across america. that's what we want to be focused on. security and safety that makes sense and creating jobs and opportunities. i would also say that to come to the end of the 100 days, people in michigan are more concerned about the promise he made to them on day one that he would call china a currency manipulator. it cost $5 million on print jobs in america and its date 100 and he is not promise. whether it's outsourcing jobs, closing tax loopholes to bring jobs home, investing in jobs, good paying jobs and infras

as well. -- priorities as well.hey want cost-sharing reduction payments as part of obamacare. we have offered to open the discussions to give the democrats something they want in order to get something we want. chris: okay. let me pick up on that, because on friday you did offer democrats a trade, funding for the border wall in return for continuing sub city byes -- subsidies that already exist to insurance companies to help pay for lower income p insurance. here you are. >> we'd offer them $1 of csr payments for $1 of wall payments right now. that's the offer that we've given to our democratic colleagues. chris: democrats say that is a non-starter, and what you're in effect doing with that trade is that you are holding hostage health insurance for millions of lower income americans. >> actually, what i would say is they're holding hostage national security. again, something they've supported in the recent past when president obama was in the senate. so we don't understand why this is breaking down like this, and we

we want our priorities funded and one of the biggest priorities during the campaign was border security, keeping americans safe and part of that was a border wall. i don't understand why the democrats are so wholeheartedly against it. i voted for it in 2006, senator obama voted for it, senator schumer voted for, senator clinton. i don't understand why democrats apply in politics just because donald trump is in office. >> chris: will he sign a government funding bill that does not include funding for the border wall? >> director mulvaney: i think you saw his answer in your lead in, don't know yet. we are asking for our priorities and importantly we are offering to give democrats some of their priorities as well. he made it very clear that they want these cost-sharing reduction payments as part of obamacare. we don't like those very much but we have offered to open the discussions to get the democrats something they want in order to get something we want. >> chris: let me pick up on that because on friday you did offer democrats a trade, funding for the border wall in return for continuin

just this week, secretary tillerson and ambassador haley said their top priority, in fact, any priority no longer to get rid of assad. >> they said in fact that the future of syria should be up to the syrian people. i would argue the syrian people when they started protesting in the streets peacefully and then when they were murdered and continued to protest and fight against assad made it very clear they want a future without assad. the problem is for too long we sat back and everybody shares the blame here. there were republicans out arguing against giving the president the authority. to everybody i think shares some blame. i fear this is going to be our generation -- bill clinton said his greatest regret was not intervention in row wan dachlt i fear all of us out here are going to bear the same feeling when it comes to syria. >> assad apparently used chemical weapons this week on his own people. we are seeing videos of children asphyxiated to death. >> it is disgusting. >> why is this administration saying it is up to the syrian people to take them on? >> what's interesting here, and

realize that removing assad misleading number one priority. -- must be the number one priority.ntil he is removed, the world is not safe. i am sure israel is involved on a daily basis with what is going on. the media wants to elaborate on what michael flynn has done with the russians or ben rhodes doing the leaking or not. i hope and pray that people understand that world war iii september 11, 2001, and it will continue until isis is the defeate. have a blessed day. host: steven calling in from virginia on our democratic line. what are your thoughts? are you confident in the president's foreign policy? caller: i have been a voting democrat for 32 years. i must say i am disappointed in the democratic party. we have been too predictable. we are easily manipulated. we are telegraphing our actions. we are a joke on the world stage. this strike targeted infrastructure, had very few casualties. this man is a genius. he took an opportunity to show the world we will not be pushed around. we are not printable. w-- we are not predictable. we are a free people. host: let's take a look at w

that is a priority for this house. i think there are conversations about border security and immigration more broadly. there's other things this administration is trying to do. ban.w the travel obviously in court right now. other ways king at to work on immigration. but the wall is something he on.aigned he's very conscious of keeping those promises. ost: will this be a showdown over the white house over this? >> it's hard to know. what we've been hearing from sides is that no one really wants a shutdown. so is there a way to get something that they want? it's only monday. it's important to remember white house officials have not yet said whether president trump that did legislation not approve funding for the wall. of staff say chief on the show yesterday. >> president trump said that week.f last he would not say if he would veto something. makes that veto, then we know we have a showdown on our hands. there's time for a short term extension by the end of the week. how short is short term? week, maybe two weeks, defen

i want to see some kind of money or the border walls which is been a key priority for the president. there's also renewed interest in trying to do something around repeal and replace healthcare, also the president is providing more details on his tax plan this week so they're looking to do a lot of different policy things this week but obviously a lot of the stuff they can'tdo by themselves . >> is there any relationship with congress, where's that? >> there avoiding a shutdown which is half the funding on legislation by midnight on friday is the top priority and what i found interesting is that the white house teams to be at least publicly taking a tougher line on some of their priorities in the funding measure. for example we talked about the border wall. and want to make sure at least some part of the $1.4 billion that president trump seeks is included in the bill. democrats in the house and senate say that is a nonstarter and you don't hear republicans in on capitol hill really going hard after that story. so republicans are really eager to avoid a shutdown. they know they would

this is obviously a priority of the president's and priority of ivanka and it's a function of doing itght, not doing it last minute. that's what you see with a lot of these reversals of executive orders. they were done to be ticking time bombs to the administration. >> deb fisher reintroduced the workplace advancement act and the president didn't get behind it. >> you have to review the legislative process. the president doesn't get involved in every piece of legislation that's introduced on the senate or house side. there are priorities that will marry up with the senate's priorities. >> i think it's pretty clear what this president's priorities have been and equal pay for women and workplace policies that benefit families has certainly not been one of those priorities in the first 100 days. >> look at his businesses. >> well, look at his cabinet. how many women do we have in his cabinet? how about that? it's a historically male cabinet over the past several decades. women in the workplace, start with the people that you surround yourself with. on the other hand, you also have active

>> so first priority is the triad. inside the triad, the first priority is the submarine.t has to be modernized. if we don't get after the submarine we run a very precipitous risk in about a decade as the ohio class reaches end of life. >> that was going to be my next question. you painted a pretty grim picture of the future of the ohio class if we don't start moving. and i think you said that it will be dangerous to actually put it under the water. >> there's the -- you can probably tell from my uniform i'm not a naval officer. >> i do see that. >> but i do have good friends who are naval officers, submariners and they've gone through the analysis with me in detail including my deputy, vice admiral chz richard. they can tell necessity that the -- each submarine is built to go down under pressure a certain number of times. once you reach the end of life, you know when that is and you can predict very accurately when that is. once you reach that life it can't go down anymore. a submarine on top of the water is not an effective deterrent. >> and that end of life may start as

a top priority. and that really allows me in working with congress and the white house to make sure that these changes are necessary and that had needed to be made for a long time. i think that is the major change. host: a minute left. closing questions? reporter: do you feel based on that that is secretary mcdonnell was working under president trump or was working under someone who wasn't president obama we would have seen these reforms moving quicker? in other words was the white , house the problem over the last few years when we hadn't seen some improvements that everyone said they wanted? david shulkin: no, i'm not saying that all. i think at the time with the administration and president obama, they had a plan place them are very committed to that and were successful at that. knows, theyone entire political environment in washington and through the country has changed. and fortunately, the issue about fixing v.a. has risen to the top of that. so now i believe with the commitment of the presiden

we put a real priority on the importance of the individual. and i couldn't agree more, there's disappointing -- citize citize citizens united was one of the most disappointing decisions. other people come to me, other countries' leaders, on how to reform their free election systems, i said, don't pattern it on how we do our fundraising, there are much better ways than that. but it was a fundamental decision made by the supreme court that we're going to protect a business right over an individual right, which to me makes no sense. there's been some troubling trends in all three branches of government. but we the people still control. and as we've seen around the world, we the people won't tolerate corruption. they won't. there will come a point that they'll be on the streets, including in the united states. they will not tolerate corruption. so it's in all of our interests to figure out a way to make sure that we put in place those systems that will prevent that. and it's very frustrating with president trump, because i really didn't think the

their priorities as well. we have offered to open the discussion to give democrats something they want to get something we want. lou: sounds reason able. but democrats refuse to fun the wall, and have made it clear ey prefer to leave the border with mexico wide open, no matter how many deadly drugs are smuggled across that board, and no matter how many americans are killed. to discuss the president's request for $1.5 billion to fund the wall, threats from democratic leaders to shut down the government. congressman louie gohmert, a member of house. >house judiciary committee. let' start with this warm embrace on part of mick mul mulvaney. in whatever that i want to trade for that is a nice approach. does not seem to be anything that we're used to over past administration. >> we were not used to it with past administration. two administrations ago, the bush administration. he would enjoy anything that bush would be hospitable and provide, and walk out to the microphone call bush everything in the books. a lot of

>> right now, it's top priority. were looking at the nuclear review and i expect to have a dialogue about the triad and where we are with manner of controls and that's what ties it gathers and what service responsible for 75% of the nuclear control has to be in the dialogue. i will tell you that there's a broader dialogue which is what is deterrence look like in the 21st century. what does the nuclear enterprise look like as you also add to the dialogue our capabilities in cyber and space ? and how does that add up to new ways of the 21st century to enhance the way we actually deter bad behavior? and did her potential adversaries were taking a step that would not be advantageous to them? that will be part of the nuclear posture review. i do believe that if you take a look at the 400 missiles that we have, missile sites, up in the northern that are spread over thousands of acres it does provide a cost imposing strategy on anybody who might consider taking a son. that will be an important part of the dialogue as we loo

. >> president trump adding a brand new priority to his already loaded legislative calendar. a look at the reality of what can get done before that 100 day mark. >>> also, is health care really back and can it even pass? >> they have not done the ground work yet among the members. this is why i was deeply opposed to bringing them back. >>> after two weeks of town halls in their home districts, is there even an appetite from congress on passing a new bill? we'll talk to one congressman straight ahead. and rounding ining out the agee attorney general weighs in on sanctuary cities. take a listen. >> i would say to the leaders of these cities please review what you're doing. >> we have aot of queions floating around about the priorities of the department of justice under jeff sessions. the a.g. hinting about some of them in a brand new interview today, as he and the homeland security chief tour our southern border. we'll have all of that. and still more ahead this afternoon. >>> we begin right now with our top story. we are just over a week away from one of the big milestones of

>> the president's priorities are clear for fy 17. there is a lot of things that we can do in the remaining months up until the ends of september for planning and making sure that we get everything that we need, funding that we need for that aspect of things. then as we go into fy 18 we'll continue to ask for more. i don't think anything's changed. >> so the president is not insisting that he has money for actual construction of the wall? >> i'm not going to get -- we are still in discussions with the house and senate leadership. i think the president's been very clear that he wants a wall. he wants it done as soon as we can do it. there are things that we need to do to protect our country like human trafficking, the flow of illegal drugs and gangs that are going to make sure that while we've achieved significant drop in illegal alien border crossing down 61% sinjanuar this is something that's in our untry's long-term national security interest. >> the actual construction can wait until fall. >> it is not a question of "wait until fal

this process is long overdue and it's a priority that's shared by the republican house, senate and the administration. by bringing down tax rates for individuals, we can help ease the burden on middle-class families, and by lowering taxes for american businesses both small and large, we can foster job creation here at home by making our country more competitive in an increasingly competitive international economy. so i want to commend the president and his team for taking this critical first step. i look forward to working with the administration and our house colleagues to finally, finally overhaul our tax system. now, on another matter, despite much unnecessary obstruction, the senate has now continued to move forward with the confirmation process for administration nominees. just this week, we have confirmed two more impressive individuals, secretary of agriculture sonny perdue and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, and today we'll have the opportunity to confirm a third. the nominee alexander acosta understands the difficult task ahead of him as the next secretary of labor. fo

but secondly, i the president's priorities since he took office have been very clear. the focus would be on folks who presented a a danger to public safety and that's what it's been. that's where it continues to be. he's someone who understands the issue and the priorities that need to get laid out by this country. so everything that he's done has beenen siconsistent with what hs said from the get go. >> i understand that he said the criminals would leave first, but last august he said that daca defied federal law and is illegal. >> his comments that he made last week that he understands that a lot of cases this involves families and small children who have been here. e he has a heart and we're going to work through the immigration piece. in terms of visa reform, the wl, all of these things in a system of priorities. right now the priority is to make sure that folks thatten present a public safety concern to the united states and to our citizens are dealt with first. that's what's happened. he is very pleased through his action and his vision for how he wants to move f

it is not the second priority. not the third priority. it really isn't a priority at all. >> let's talk about priorities. 100 days in, as we pointed out yesterday. he's 6.8% into his presidency. what do you expect to be the big priority the next 100 days? >> well, i think that the big domestic priority is actually going to be on taxes. now, the president unveiled his tax plan. as you both it was one single page of principles. this is something that they are determined to get something done, some form of a tax cut, some form of tax reform. it will probably be a lot less ambitious than the one-page principles suggested. this will be the priority for the next year. he's got to keep the government running. and he's got to find a way to go and get his health care plan through. i think the odds are very long on that getting done successfully. but they'll certainly make a big push to do it. >> jon, we love having you on. will you come back? >> of course. love being here with you guys. >> i know you have your big events, your hollywood events, th
