it shows russian fighter jets, two of them buzzing past the u.s.s. rter, our naval destroyer in the black sea. the russian defense ministry denied russia did anything of the sort or that the flights took place. with attorney general jeff sessions being the latest member to be linked to russia, has the white house team's chumminess with russia and president putin put our national security at risk? this as president trump says look at all of the democrats who have met with russians. let's bring in fox news' strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters who not only speaks russian, sat across former kgb agents at the kremlin and worked against them in the backstreets of moscow. what should we read into the latest saber-rattling. clearly those were russian jets? >> clearly s u-24's. not just this incident, but repeated incidents, a lot don't make the press against us, against nato. and the fundamental thing people have to understand about vladimir putin is he has no reverse gear. he'll keep pushing and pushing until he hits a wall and no one is willin

in terms of the president himself when he was on board the u.s.s. gerald ford said that he had total confidence in jeff sessions, when asked if he told the truth during his hearings, the president said i think he did. he said he wasn't aware that sessions had met kislyak twice, once on september 8 in capitol hill and another time in what was described as a casual encounter after a lunch time speech on the sidelines of the republican national convention in cleveland in july. when asked if general sessions should recuse himself, the president said "i don't think so." so if you take those together, the president saying he shouldn't recuse himself, sessions saying he will recuse himself wherever appropriate and sean spicer saying the president has full confidence in him, we can probably expect to see a more further explanation of what he said during his confirmation hearings to senator franken and in the written questions to senator leahy as catherine was talking about and more detail on what the conversations whether when he met with sergey kislyak, the

just last month russian aircraft flew within a few hundred feet of the deck of the u.s.s. porter in international waters in a dangerous mock attack, an action the ship's captain called out as, quote, unsafe and unprofessional. last summer while on a congressional delegation to meet with nato allies, i heard directly from ease tone ya leaders about russia's blatant disregard for their sovereignty. russian forces kidnapped a border guard in estonia territory and sentenced him behind closed doors to 15 years in prison in what a top european union official called, quote, a clear violation of international law. we have seen the russians fly reconnaissance and fighter jets in international airspace with their transponders switched off to avoid detection. at one point nearly colliding midair with pass gerryairplane -- -- with a passenger airplane. nato has been forced to scramble jets nearly 800 times. let me repeat that 800 times in 2016 alone just to repond to russian encroachments on airspace. as the president speaks glowingly about putin, mr. putin returns the favor by deployi

either at a field hospital, or aboard the u.s.s. pose, a hospital ship that has been a welcome addition to our medical facilities in the combat zone. the gleaming white ship carries everything that would be found in the most modern hospital ashore a full staff of doctors, nurses and corpsmen functions with the same efficiency as the crew that moves the ship into the area where the action is. though battle wounds are the cause of most of the serious casualties, there are many more that result from the environment heat prostration, immersion foot, malaria; these can be as devastating to our combat effectiveness as much as bullets or punji pits. but the knowledge that quick and efficient shore care is close at hand helps keep morale high in the rice paddies. but the red cross, which symbolizes our medical units, is not the only cross in vietnam. where ever the marines and sailors go, the chaplain also goes. whether it is for morale and spiritual counseling, a friendly word to a lonely man, or the softening of unpleasant news from home,

paul: president trump on the u.s.s. gerald ford in knew for the news, virginia. house announced the president's budget will call for a $54 billion in defense spending, a move the administration plans to pay for with cuts to the state department and other federal agencies. but the chair of the house armed services committee said the spending hike is not enough. >> i think the president as he says, inherited a mess, and is absolutely committed to rebuilding the military. but i think all of us have underestimated how much damage has been done to our military through the sequester and all of the things that happened over the past few years. >> you are happy he's going to lift the sequester that cuts defense with discretionary spending. if it failed because there have been no changes in mandatory spending. what's happened is a defense has been disproportionately cut. half the cuts under sequestration come from defense. the defense is 14.7% of the federal budget. that's obviously not fair, but it's also not smart. >> we are now as a share of the economy heading to 3% o
