richard fowler, you can react to this.mcconnell said, kwoerbgt obamacare has failed the american people and must be repealed and replaced. today's vote in the house was an important step. we are closer to giving our constituents freedom over the increased cost and broken promise of obamacare. richard? >> two points. guy is right. we have to see which states opt out. second point here is this. i think republican mitch mcconnell in that statement lives in this world that eight years ago or more than that, before the affordablecare act it was just peaches and cream. but our health care system was a mess, an utter mess. the affordable care act do the perfect fix? no. did it make it a little bit better? absolutely. does the affordable care act need to be fixed? yes. any democrat would tell you it needs to be fixed. but we will not repeal it. we will work on, if republicans want to have a conversation about fixing the law, let's fix it. this bill that was passed today is trying to take us all the way back to prior to the afforda

richard fowler show. want to get your thoughts on this, just breaking out of that news conference, president trump responding to a question shouted to him by reporters, about intelligence sharing, accusations that he essentially threw israeli intelligence under the bus with the russians in the oval office. take a listen. >> president trump: i never mentioned the word or the name "israel." never mentioned that. in that conversation. so you have another story wrong, never mentioned the word "israel." >> leland: there's a few ways to look at this. one, perhaps, the president is trying to put it behind him. on the other hand, he's kind of allowing this to be brought back up again when if he ignored the question and walked off everything would be fine. >> well, i think it would be an enduring issue. i'm not sure the allegation is that he used the word "israel" in that alleged meeting in the oval office. it was that he may have compromised an israeli intelligence agent or source the ground in iraq or syria. tha

[laughter] >> look, i think this is showing a moment of strength by this president in basically going to the muslim leaders and saying we need to unite in order to eradicate radical islam. he also talked about the importance of the disastrous mess we have seen because of radical extremism in the region, and also he's sending a very direct message to iran, clearly by working with saudi arabia, by working on this multibillion dollar arms deal. basically saying, look, iran, we're not with you, we are with saudi arabia, and taking sides, and i think it's been a very welcoming reception from saudi arabia, basically saying this is a new era for relations with these important muslim countries. judge jeanine: okay

martha: thank you, trace, charles hurt is a political columnist for "the washington times" and richard fowlergood to have you here today. let me start with you, it should be no surprise that we have a very different policy under this administration. >> probably the starkest difference from one administration to the new administration certainly in modern times. the problem with these sentencing guidelines is that they were put in place by congress, they were voted on by congress, duly passed into law. under the previous administration, you basically have the attorney general and the president saying i know congress passed these laws, we don't need to follow and forget about it as jeff sessions said today, that's not justice. donald trump and his entire campaign was a very much law and order campaign, he promised to crack down on drugs. i think if you wanted to see where the fruits of that law and order stance can be found, look at the southern border right now. donald trump had built 1 inch of his wallet yet and you're already seeing a 70% drop of illegal border crossings? they change their be

our cashin' in crew, mercedes, rachel and richard fowler. mercedes is president trump right, is the media out of control with fake news? >> it's interesting that the president said there's no trust between himself and the media. but it's also, where there is no trust is between the american people and the media. i mean, when you look the a the fact that americans, less than 20% actually trust the media, i think it's very telling of the fact that there's a lot of questions that surround what the mainstream media is pushing forward. i mean, we've seen these ridiculous stories coming out, of, for example, msnbc, one of the hosts trying to say that president trump bombed syria because they were trying to get off of this russian story. i mean, the conspiracy theories. it's the fact that they're not necessarily reporting the news as it is. and in an objective way and i think that's frustrating. the social media, the domino effect, the stories that they launch out from the mainstream press with a very liberal bias and then you're talking about tens

richard: i think they are losers. i will give you that one. >> jesse: way out to back to go out on a limb, fowler. >> richard: i thinke to parse this. yet the isis fighters in syria and then have those folks were self radicalizing here in the united states and europe. solving those problems are two types of things. then we have the syrian war. the three different isolated things. what i would hope to see from this administration is one, how do we solve self radicalizing here in the united states? how do we defeat isis in the middle east and how to become to some sort of resolution with the syrian war and take a sawed out? if those three things aren't there, i'm against it. >> jesse: i don't think he wants to take a sought out in that speech. assad. it's not necessarily been effective. i thought he said let's just kill isis and squeeze those people and then we can maybe come to a political solution. >> richard: i don't think you can. the reason why isis is sprawling is because of assad. he's saying i'm going to gas people and blow people up. the muslim community is saying if we are going to blow us up, we will join th

david: back with us, is kirsten haglund, conservative political commentator, richard fowler, national syndicated radio host and fox news contributor. richard, a lot of this hinges on whether or not president trump was trying to get comey to drop the investigation. democrats say if that is true that would be obstruction of justice which of course is an impeachable offense. now jim comey's memo back in february, according to reports suggested that he was receiving pressure from the president but listen to what comey said in sworn testimony again, he had to be sworn in on this, on may 4th, about whether he was asked whether or not he did receive political pressure to drop investigations. lien to this. >> as has it happened? >> not in my experience because it would be a big deal to tell the fbi to stop doing something that, without appropriate purpose. i mean we're often times, they give us opinions that we don't see a case there, so you ought to stop investing resources in it, but i'm talking about a situation where we told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very b

fox news contributor richard fowler. richard, who made the right choice?now i'm in miami. it's a lot hotter here than it was there. the funny part this is it s. donald trump has attended the white house correspondents' dinners for years. the one year he decided not to attend is the year he is supposed to be the headliner. that's interesting. now, don't get me wrong, i politically understand why he didn't go to the white house correspondents' dinner. think everything he says and believe the media is fake. go there it support that we all know the truth yes sometimes the media gets it wrong. 95% of the time cnn and msnbc our colleagues aren't fake news. brian: right. i think it's mislabeled. i don't think anyone has a problem with rachel maddow coming out with her school of thought like sean hannity. we get it the president's real problem is the decision, for example, to take the mike flynn story and make it number one and not the 120er about the iranian deal with 14 highly questionable people being let go in a top secret deal that no one understood when pres

richard fowler is a radio talk show host. richard, what do you make of those warnings from tucker? is the thing. i think we do have a problem with terrorism and isis and self-radicalization. we don't solve that problem with a clenched fist but an open hand. if we want moderate muslims to stand up and say terrorism is wrong and we want them out as the president said earlier this week. we have to say we embrace muslims. we don't embrace the radical groups and the terrorists. we're a nation of immigrants. we have the statue of liberty when you are pulling into new york via ship. because that's who we are. if we turn away from that, the terrorists would have won. that's what we don't want to happen. >> shannon: katie, a lot of folks say that's what we're doing. the president gave the speech in saudi arabia about the words used the describe the people. we are not at war with those of the muslim faith at all but the extremist elements within them that wish to do us all harm and fellow muslims that they don't think are devout enough. he is trying to send a message along the lines of what

richard fowler is a radio host and marc thiessen. this is what the president has to say.ey lost the confidence of almost everyone in washington republican and democrat alike. when things calm down they will thank me. we heard last week from hillary clinton that he cost her the election and now he is president nixon. >> i wouldn't go that far. the timing of this is why people are alarmed in washington and throughout the country. in donald trump had a problem with comey, he could have fired him on january 21st. when he fired -- when jeff sessions fired all the assistant u.s. attorneys across the country then. we don't want you, you have to go. the fact they waited so late to do it and also we learned yesterday from other networks reporting that there has been -- grand jury subpoenas issued for colleagues of mike flynn. this is all leery to me. i think the best way to solve this problem for the trump administration. i said it over and over again and house and senate republicans is to ask for a commission, three democrats, republicans three folks, put someone like condoleezza

bush, richard fowler, gentleman could day to both of you.sday it must be impeachment, brad >> democrats have been talking impeachment since the president took the oath. they remind me of the boy who cried wolf. comey gets fired, impeachment. by comey's own admission the president can fire for any reason or no reason at all. the president has discussions with the russians and discusses classified material in an effort to try to wooh to russians to help us to fight terrorism. the president is the keeper and custodian of our secrets and has every right to discuss intelligence as he sees fit. there is nothing there. comey says the president tried to influence the flynn investigation. he makes a note allegedly in his diary but months go by. he does nothing and as a matter of fact the deputy director of the f.b.i. testifies before congress under oath there is no outside influence on any investigations. the democrats are seeking a crime when none exists. >> bill: richard. think about this now and you think about it getting ahead of the story. and i

brad blakeman and richard fowler, gentlemen, good day to both of you.e has been feasting on trump for a while, brad. what did you think of this monologue? >> way, way beyond the pale. disrespectful but cbs is as war with the president. reminds me of lord of the flies. a tribal mentality across not only cbs but other platforms as well to debase the president. and to attack the president. and not oh fairgrounds but on malicious grounds. it has to stop. we live in a society where we should have respect for the president at a minimum. and certainly you have the ability to question the president but it is the way they're doing it and lampooning the president. it is a disservice. >> bill: i could see it in a comedy club on a saturday night. on a network? >> i wouldn't go that far as stephen colbert, they hired him for just that. he was the former host of the colbert show on comedy center. he attacked politicians. this is what cbs wanted and asked for. >> bill: i get it. i'm all for humor and free speech. we're down with that. i asked whether or not he went to

democratic strategist, richard fowler. mark, what do you make of this?aving a field day with this, but for good reason. he is providing them some ammo, isn't he? >> what i would say president turns to twitter for very good reason. because he knows that the majority of american people don't believe this fake news story about russian collusion. 58% of americans disapprove of the way media treated trump. comey story frankly which is tied to russia, only number eight of all the stories covered across facebook since january 20th, has ranked only number 8. the president knows american people don't believe it, they don't care. any collusion going on they believe the media and democrats. neil: mark, you remember a lot of americans dismissed the watergate story. i'm not comparing it, trust me my friend, i'm just saying that perception can be like a snapshot, one snap it is shot. that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't anything there. it means right now he doesn't think there is anything there and he might be totally right. is the way he handling this helping or
