cut with allowances, it would be tough for him to vote for this. lindsey graham came out and wondered whether the senator was automatically going to be a no regardless. they have been sniping at each other. does that worry you when you see that stuff? >> you always want to see those discussions stay within the family. that's the problem with twitter accounts. >> neil: do you have a twitter account, senator? >> i do. but i use it sparingly i'd say, neil. it's important that all of our members try to get to where they can be for tax reform. tax reform is critical to economic growth. we've had this conversation before. you and i both know if we want the growth rate back up to where it should be in this country and higher wages and bigger paychecks for american workers, we have to reform our outdated tax code. the only way to do that is the budget. i hope in the end we can have all republican senators vote for it. if we do, i predict in the end we'll have democrats that will be for tax reform, too. it will be very popular when it's all said and done. >> neil: if you start sending out snip

love in that room. >> he didn't use the word love, south carolina senator lindsey graham who's had plenty of run-ins with the president did suggest he has a lot of support in the party. >> most people are working for a living. most people don't know who bob corker and jeff flake are. most people want president trump to succeed. a lot of people don't like is tweeting and punching down and kicking every dog, mostly republicans don't like that but i'm going to be around him for the rest of his term i hope. >> the president reiterated any plan by congress to limit tax reductions to 401(k) retirement plans is off the table. a position that reignited his feud with senator bob corker yesterday. this morning, the president was contradicted by the chief tax writer in the house. >> kevin brady, chairman of house ways and means said it could be on the table. >> maybe it is. maybe they will use it as negotiating. but i -- trust me, that's one of the great things. you know, there are certain elements of deals you don't want to negotiate with. 401(k)s, and kevin knows that and i think kevin brad

republicans will get on board. >> harris: you worked with senator lindsey graham on health care and you know he's been one to say that if you don't get tax reform done you are dead in the water politically. >> there is a lot at stake here. not for the republican electoral issues which are obviously involved but for those middle-class families, for the world economy since we are the largest economy and we have to get going again. we are seeing very good times. since trump won the presidency drop growth is up, gdp growth is up. now we need to take it to the next level. >> harris: realistically speaking, you hear the president saying senator rand paul is on board, was he promised something? he said "no" to the budget and he's been saying no to tax reform and i was on board. i ask that with all sincerity because you will need him. >> i haven't been party to the conversations between the president and senator paul, all i can say is if we do something great for the middle class, help the corporate rate to keep these companies from taking their jobs overseas and have a pro-growth agenda, hopef

in with senator lindsey graham who has not been nearly as harsh a critic about the niger attack, ambush and the follow up and the administration's response. but mattis is in here. he should be out in the next five or ten minutes. mattis, i'm not sure if you heard, but he said he does not have any frustration with the way the story has been covered. obviously the focus of this story has not for the last two full weeks been on exactly what happened on the ground. it's on the condolence call. he said the president is getting briefed as necessary. he said they're going to be -- he would not tell me as we were just walking out of mccain's office if we will get a timeline about what happened in niger in a matter of hours, days or months. he said they would take care of it and when there's -- here's senator graham. we'll try to grab him while he's walking. all right. senator graham in his office. quite a commotion. as there tends to be when a member of the administration comes here to the russell building. so he had mattis waiting in there. we don't know exactly what the meeting is abo

intrafamily discussions and fights. >> to that point, senator lindsey graham is telling his colleagues that are butting heads with the president to knock it off. across the aisle, democrats see a major opportunity and they're already pointing to one of their own in the house of representatives as a possible challenger that could flip the seat. it's congress woman kirsten cinema from the ninth district. the democratic senatorial campaign committee has a statement out that says senator flake's retirement is another example of the divisiveness in the republican party. they claim their nomination will fall shirt of kyrsten sinema. the lawmaker that she seeks to replace, flake, has been elevated by the democratic minority leader in the senate, chuck schumer. he today on the senate floor said that flake has one of the best consciouses of anybody on either side of the aisle in the last several decades. that is of course something that schumer waited to say until after he found out about flake. >> shepard: they're all politicians what do you expect? peter, thanks. and more on the trump dossier

. >> seth hasn't read the book he can watch the movie. the mother concept. lindsey graham is out with the president. >> they spent columbus day over a round of golf and senator lindsey graham said i enjoy a round of golf with donald trump, he shot 73. is it good? i guess a lot of people asked the senator how he did. he said he beat him really bad and did better in the presidential race and today in the golf course. >> a scratch golfer, would be really good. heather: you on the golf courses you got to know how to play. many in hollywood are so quiet on the harvey weinstein scandal. jackie is going through your comments on facebook and twitter and we will read those coming up. remember this moment from the campaign trail. a laid-off coworker calling out hillary clinton. >> we put a lot of coal miners out of jobs. these are the kind of people you are affecting. heather: what does he think now? we will talk to him next.

hearing that will start within the next half an hour, lindsey graham, republican from south carolina, his head a statement where he says come the manipulation of social media sites by terrorist organizations and foreign governments is one of the greatest challenges to american democracy, and a significant threat to our national security and the 21st century. what do you do not? there's a careful balance of senators that they want to achieve between free speech and regulation, and we are hearing about that from the senior senator from california, dianne feinstein. >> these companies are going to have to adjust what they do to meet the national security concerns of this nation. you clearly cannot have the internet used to interfere with an election. >> that is bipartisan. john kennedy will be asking questions today in the democratic -- he thinks he knows more about facebook and his wife does, wants to know more info. >> dana: how has the story changed since election day? >> it has changed a lot, because were the first things mark zuckerberg's said, on the newsd from did not have really

reconciliation. lindsey graham, senator from south carolina, was on one of the sunday shows suggesting it's critical that they get that end. >> set and tax reform done. let's listen here. >> you have to get a budget passed to set up tax reform. are you going to get it done? >> yeah. if we don't, we're dead. >> and there was talk that senator mcconnell may not will long for the leadership. says if he guess it done, he's okay. if he doesn't, we're all in trouble. >> you're very good with body long. how was it with the president and the senator there? it went on longer than maybe mitch mcconnell had calculated. what are your thoughts? >> i think you're right about that. the president had a willing participant for some 45 minutes as he fielded questions on occasion bringing him in. by and large, the body chemistry looked good. the president seemed happy to have mcconnell there. mcconnell typically is like an irish setter. you get one expression for 15 different emotions. he looks a little stoic like he's contemplating god knows what. he did seem to, you know, enjoy participating with the presid

mueller investigation. >> shepard: the republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina co sponsored a bill, a bipartisan one, to make it tougher for president trump to fire robert mueller. but senator graham told reporters he doesn't feel an urgent need to pass that law. >> i have zero concern that mr. mueller is? jeopardy of losing his job. i've heard nothing to suggest the president will try to replace mr. mueller, zero evidence from anybody i talked to. it would be wrong to do so unless there were cause. >> shepard: on these matters hose right. there's nothing from the white house to indicate that he would do such a thing. senator graham said there would be holy hell to pay if president trump fired mueller without having a good reason. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill. what more are we hearing from democrats? it's clear that they believe the president is starting to feel backed into a corner, trapped, surrounded, drawn and that they fear he could make the move of firing robert mueller. but there's no indications thereof, right? >> that's right, sh

say the republicans couldn't pass the skinny bill and then the republicans couldn't pass lindsey graham's bill, then i need to scare them into coming back to the table. guess what, chuck schumer is not going to agree to any bill that repeals obamacare. every single one of those republicans in the senate ran, including john mccain, ran on repealing and replacing. not fixing a little bit and replacing. repealing and replacing. chuck schumer would never be on board for that, again, democrats come to the table when they want to spend your money, more of your money because they love to spend money or if they can preserve obamacare. they would see this as a path to work with president trump to preserve obamacare because that's all they want to do is protect it the president is smart in creating some leverage with his own caucus. hopefully that's where it goes. you don't want to cut a big deal that makes obamacare permanent. he ran against obamacare as well. so a lot of tricky ground here. and i just don't believe that the unicorns of good faith democrats truly exist who really want to

just said that he thought the indictments were overreached. yet, senator lindsey graham said they will be "holy hell to pay." i am doing the quotes for my grandma. if the president fires robert mueller who is leading the team. utah senator mike lee joins us now. good to see you, sir. >> i liked your use of the quotes. >> shannon: my grandmother is watching. she is staying up late for this. by the way, let's play that quote. this comes from senator graham when asked about whether mueller should be in any kind of trouble. >> i have zero concern that mr. mueller is in jeopardy of losing his job. i see no reason for him to be dismissed and the only reason you could do it is for cause, and some effort to do it without a good reason, there would be holy hell to pay. to be and large i'm hearing that bronzed republicans are being supportive of mueller, saying let him do his job. >> i think senator graham is correct. there would be holy hell to pay politically. to speed when you said about one of the communities -- by the way, senator feinstein said that both the intel and judiciary commun

played golf with lindsey graham. a lot to talk about with fellow republican senator bob corker and i know -- senator graham said yesterday, in windy and rainy conditions donald trump shot a 73. he also said better in the presidential race than today on the golf course. >> thank you for joining us. the war on call is over, head of the epa scott pruitt announcing a plan to repeal president obama's clean power plan. the proposal argues current emission standards are too to tough for power plants to meet. earlier we talked to a coworker who called out hillary clinton on the campaign trail for putting coal miners out of work. he is praising the trump administration for stepping in. >> proves to us that donald trump will do the things he promised he would do, help every day living for the people in this state, slowly but surely we are starting to see our product on the highways. >> the epa deciding whether to replace the clean power plant or propose a brand-new rule. using the wrong pronoun could land people in jail. a new california law will punish healthcare workers who refuse to call tr

republican senator lindsey graham says, congress must be informed and has the power of the purse which shouldn't prevent others from doing their jobs. >> congress is not set up to be military commanders. 535 members of congress don't sit down and designate what threats the nation faces. >> concerns for the administration is anything that ties the hands of the commander in chief, but arizona senator jeff flake noted not one member of the foreign relations panel was here 16 years ago and suggested it's time for them to get on the record. >> bret: mike emanuel, thanks. federal court is barring president trump from changing the government's policy on transgenders in the military. president trump announced in august he intended to reverse course on a 26 teen policy that allowed troops to serve openly as as transgender individuals. the judge said the transgender militaries military members were likely to enact their lawsuit. u.s. navy investigating whether two seal team members took the life of a green beret in mali. jennifer griffin joins me with details. >> good evening. two members of the

republican senator lindsey graham a democratic senator cory booker who appeared as character witnesses, his behalf. >> when your colleagues come to testify for you, it says a lot. >> graham issued a written statement saying his testimony was "unrelated to the underlying charges," told the jury "he always keeps his word. a handshake is all you need from bob." >> i does agree with him politically but i think he's an honest, honorable guy. >> following the testimonials, they received a setback. judge refused to allow testimony from high-profile attorney mark elias. in a separate matter, the link to the democratic efforts to put together the dossier, the defense wanted to call him to refute criminal charges. menendez lied on his financial disclosure statements to cover up the bribery. faced with the loss of testimony, the defense called for a mistrial, saint the judge's rulings throughout the proceedings favor the prosecution. >> i am deeply disappointed that my lawyers had to, that it came to the point that my lawyers had to make the motion they made today. i think what they said in court stan

other wanted to hear. and that they're fighting for the same thing. lindsey graham went to the point a bit more the day before. if you don't get tax reform done you'll lose the majority in congress. >> he said if we don't do it, we're dead. it was very, very clear. and actually president trump said something similar. if we get taxes done i think we'll do spectacularly well next year. the most important thing said in the entire news conference from mitch mcconnell's point of view is when the president came out and opened by saying we're fighting for the same thing. our agenda is the same, we have to get this budget done, which for procedural reasons has to come before taxes and then we have to do taxes. you heard john ask whether taxes had to be done this calendar year or early next year. the point is, they know they've got to get taxes done. >> bill: amen to that. good luck. byron, thank you. instant analysis in washington, d.c. >> sandra: our friends at fox news radio have an exclusive interview later this morning. brian kilmeade will sit down with president trump at the white house

republican colleagues in senate including lindsey graham and marco rubio are open to considering a ban on these things called a bump stock. what the gunman used out in las vegas to turn a semi automatic into for all intents and purposes, an automatic. >> right. well, i don't think anybody heard of a bump stock or most people have not. i certainly haven't until just a couple of days ago. but anybody who heard the audio or saw video and heard what that sounded like, you thought that's an automatic weapon. automatic weapons have been illegal since the 1930s. so, yeah, there are going to be some hearings. we are going to learn more in the coming days and weeks and months about this technology being able to mechanically increase the rate of fire through a bump stock or a crank. i understand there are other methods as well. brian: doesn't it seem like we got this backwards? we look what happened and then try to change things. mental health, that wasn't the problem here. background checks. they weren't getting enough. well, he passed them. bump stock. this is something brand-new. where do

conservative. ainsley: he is saying lindsey graham and john mccain are not conservative. lindsey graham tweeted this out getting more bad info at rand paul. don't screw up tax reform now. you already saved obamacare by trashing graham-cassidy-heller-johnso n. brian: a lot of squeeze on the defense side is causing a lot of the training accidents we have. pentagon, what they spend on that is another conversation that needs to be addressed. but the money has stearved out our military who has been asked to do more and more in many different operations from africa to the middle east and now we see what is happening in achings. the president is saying get the budget passed. we will handle the $43 billion worth of defense increases and then if you can get my tax reform done we will have enough growth to pay for everything. meanwhile the president went to the heritage foundation yesterday and talked about his tax plan in detail. lynch. >> i have had a great relationship with rand paul. and i think he is going to be with us. i think in the end he is going to be with us. i hope john mccain is goi

exactly said by lindsey graham, senator mccain, mitch mcconnell and bob corker, they don't like this president. >> by the summer of 1940, the only american president to be elected four times was so disliked by the congress that he turned to general george marshall and said if we are going to get an extension to the draft, you have to go get it because none of them trust me. this was the president who arguably was the most effective politician in american history. >> sean: at least he had three terms by that point. we haven't gotten through the first year. >> founding fathers designed a system for independently elected people in three places and it's really, really hard. i want to say something about patterns. he was a good example of what we were talking about. the paul ryan postcard that you could fill out. 85 or 95% of americans will be able to do all of the taxes on a postcard. it saves about 5 billion hours of paperwork and probably $100 billion a year. >> sean: the house has sent over 280 pills. it's only gotten a third of the presidents appointments. it's a year. what are they

: we've been told by people in the room, john mccain, lindsey graham, corker, and even mcconnell, they trash the president, but yet they can't get any of their promises completed. i've -- they are the swamp. republicans are weak and pathetic and lacking in identity and the forgotten monen and wom have been let down. >> they have total contempt for the men and women, contempt for the base. that's what you saw in alabama. luther strange had the money to destroy. >> sean: torched him. >> senator corker is a disgrace. jason is on cnn and never talks out of school. he called for senator corker to resign. >> sean: i agree with him. >> to replace him with marsha blackburn, a real conservative. if bob corker has any honor, decency, he should resign immediately and not let the words stand. >> sean: he would not win. that's why he's getting out. he are get crushed. how does the republican's agenda, if you have hostile republicans apparently ready to go on a suicide mission, can't get anything done, if they don't vote to repeal and replace, no border wall. they will suffer in 2018. president trum

, that he's angry at corker, he's angry at mcconnell, ingrid lindsey graham, john mccain, jeff flake, susan collins. what is going on? >> jesse: the president does well when he runs even against the republican party. i can't believe i am saying it but corker started it. he did. he said tillerson, kelly, and mattis were the only three people keeping the world from descending into chaos. that's what triggered the trump tweet and then triggered the retreat. the whole thing is nonsense. everyone needs to chill. >> jesse: when it comes to nonsense, the man who brings good things to the table, greg gutfeld. >> greg: everything you need to learn in life you can learn from the movie "dirty harry." corker is playing the befuddled mirror in "dirty harry." he was always screaming, you've got to stop that. you're going to get somebody killed. harry always won. corker is saying trump is going to start world war iii, he is contributing to the fears of iran and north korea that even the politicians on trump's side are scared to death of him. who knows what trouble do. well done, corker. you are sca

. of course for republicans running for reelection in both houses. as lindsey graham was single for the weekend, to get this done. or even the house or both. >> bret: i saw someone right that this might be the most transparent president in history. we know what he's thinking through his tweets and now taking pretty much every question he could take in the rose garden. two yelling reporters trying to get in a question. >> the way of the news conference was run, letting it be a free-for-all. instead of having a system where you raise your hand and the president calls on he wishes to call on. this was wide open. the result was -- journalists like a pack of jackals and the president looking dignified taking the questions. that may have played to his advantage. he certainly took a lot of questions. >> bret: thank you. a tense situation tonight in northern iraq. the u.s.-led coalition fighting isis terrace is calling in a change of gunfire between iraqis and kurdish forces a misunderstanding. adding to the complexity, those iraqi troops are alongside shiite militias that have been loyal t

house at 11:15 a.m. eastern time wearing a ball cap. which senator lindsey graham and golf attire. they headed to trump national golf course in sterling virginia to play a round of golf. we will let you know if there any comments or anything that comes out of that. just wanted to update. >> harris: i love the part of that report that they didn't know where they were going but now we know when their caps. president trump hitting back at one of his increasingly vocal republican critics. outgoing tennessee senator bob corker. he shares the foreign relations committee and the war of words is raising questions about what could've been about the president agenda moving forward that they are not getting along. the president tweeted this. "senator bob corker begged me to re-endorse him for reelection in tennessee bread i said no when he dropped out. he said he could not win without my endorsement. he wanted to be secretary of state and i said in all caps no thanks." he is also largely responsible for the hearing the saran deal! i would fully expect corporate to be a negative force. didn't have

, paul ryan sparred with the president. mitch mcconnell sparred with the president. lindsey graham sparred with the president. don't take it personal, get over it. he doesn't take it personal. as we talked about on the radio, mr. get on the page, you don't belong here? lindsey graham says you're a disgrace but he got over it. >> harris: these are men, the denim and you just mentioned, lindsey graham and others who have the ability to get on the high road and who else is on there, the american people. they are looking at the bigger view. they are able to do that. not everybody can do that. of the money portion i hadn't thought about until you brought it up. if you're having a hard time raising some cash as the democrats are going to start to learn this lesson, it becomes difficult to walk out what you talk about. >> gillian: the group of senators that are establishing themselves in opposition to president trump, mcgrane, flick, corker, right now the goat don't constitute a direct threat him political he but when they start reaching five, ten, maybe more, then that's a real problem.

wars in too many places when war monger lindsey graham can't keep track anymore. the fbi has sent a team to collect evidence in case they capture the perpetrators and want to build a legal case, this is standard in cases like, this. >> shepard: thanks, jen. japan's defense minister says north korea's weapons programs have reached an unprecedented critical and imminent level. he said that in a meeting in the philippines with the defense secretary james mattis. let's bring in gordon chang. thank you. >> the language on both sides is really getting quite dangerous. you have our cia director thursday talk about taking the final step of preventing the north koreans from getting the capability to hit the united states with a missile. then you have kim jong-un talk about final victory. he's be doing that more frequently. that's code for basically taking over south korea. now you have the japanese foreign minister saying, oh, you know they're getting to an imminent level. >> so you have to watch what is happening, not what is being said. what is happening from north korea is apparently noth

corker of tennessee, john spoon of south dakota, lindsey graham, james lankford of oklahoma, one republican, senator ron johnson of wisconsin says he would have no problem banning the mass donald trump is in las vegas leaving politics at home comforting victims and family and praising the heroic effort of first responders and medical staff. >> it makes you proud to be an american when you see the job they have done. the only message is we are with you 100%, we have a great country and are there for you. >> reporter: the president has yet to weigh in on legislation, nancy pelosi said she believes there is movement for such a bill. heather: seems to be agreement from across the aisle on some elements. in the meantime a patriotic moment during donald trump's visit to las vegas. despite being shot in the leg thomas gunderson standing from his hospital bed to shake the president's hands. gunderson posting this video on facebook writing i will never lie down when the president of this great country comes to shake my hand. i will always respect the country, my president and my flag, sho

james comey. iowa senator just don't like chuck grassley and south carolina senator lindsey graham uncovered the document back in august and quickly wrote a scathing letter to the newly appointed fbi director christopher wray saying "the outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while fbi agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts. the comey letter, which was unclassified, yet heavily redacted, also calls into question the former fbi directo director's senate testimony in june of this year when comey said the reason he publicly announced the results of the clinton probe in the summer of 2016 was to "protect the credibility of the investigation after then-attorney general loretta lynch and former president bill clinton had an unscheduled meeting on a tarmac in arizona. but that meeting happened 56 days after the draft letter, reportedly exonerating clinton, had already been sent. calls for comey to return to capitol hill for more questioning are now mounting. martha. >> martha: thank you very much. joining me now, ron hospital, who served as assistant fbi dir

that lindsey graham says what they're going to do, they're going to give the forces on the ground the ability to defend themselves. that's been a big debate, whether they can send drones that are armed or at all. you'll hear more about that. i'm trace gallagher in for shepard. neil is next. >> neil: market down. probably used pencil. i'm neil cavuto, this is "your world." another record-setting world. five days in a row. we've seen the major averages do this. the dow and the s&p. the do you over 23,000. it marches on confidence that tax cuts are coming what has that going is a budget that passed last night out of the united states senate. it was close. but what we have seem to telegraph from that or at least what traders are telegraphing from that, it's full steam ahead to get the tax cuts done. there's some wrinkles. it's not a slam dunk. we're getting indications from the speaker of the house that there might have to be an additional bracket for the very rich. we don't know at what level that income level would kick in, in order to show that this is something that would benefit

thinks mccain and graham are asking for too big an increase in military spending. >> lindsey graham wouldn't know a conservative if he met one. he has never been a conservative. he is probably a big part of why we have such a massive debt in this country because he is unwilling and unable to be restrained at all on the money he throws at the military. >> that's a strong charge that senator graham says he strongly disagrees with. >> i think senator paul is trying to find a way to vote no and he always does. the president wants to spend more on defense. i want to spend more on defense. every military leader says we need to build up the defense department in light of the threats we face. >> while republicans are fighting amongst themselves in the upper chamber, one liberal democratic senator, brown from ohio came out a few hours to say that he may vote yes on a potential tax reform package if it helps working families and if it keeps american companies acting patriotically. >> i want to see it. i don't know what is going to exactly be in it. those are the two major things that would ge

trial in new jersey. this is a case that in the end could cost him his senate seat. lindsey graham and menendez fellow democrat corey booker testified as character menendez. senator graham said he's trustworthy even under pressure. >> bob is an honest guy. we've worked hard on immigration. nothing more difficult than immigration. very emotional. my statement before was that if bob gives you his word, he keeps it no matter what the pressures are. a handshake from bob was enough. >> senator menendez a doctor from florida were accused of bribery. both member pleaded not guilty. david lee miller is outside the courthouse. david lee? >> shepard, this is day 26 with this trial. it's a significant and emotional day. highly unusual to have two senators testify, even one from across the aisle. lindsey graham speaking out on behalf of robert menendez. he faces a dozen counts, including bribery. worth noting that lindsey graham sent out a written statement saying in part that his testimony was unrelated to the underlying charges. he went on to tell the jury that bob menendez always keeps his

because john mccain would have voted with his good friend lindsey graham. howie: do you think mike pence has been covered fairly? you have been saying he knew something or he should have known something somehow to get him involved in that narrative. >> there is always a tendency to draw distinctions between pence and the president. the media is starting to get this, the remarkably close relationship the president and the vice president have. they are in constant communication with each other and they have become good friends. the vice president is one of the biggest champions for the president's agenda. howie: has the press by and large covered the vice president fairly? >> by and large i would say yes. howie: ahead on "mediabuzz," the president says the media makes him look more uncivil. sexual allegations have rocked the media and a former 90-year-old president. is that whole thing still dragging on? no, i took some pics with the app and... filed a claim, but... you know how they send you money to cover repairs and... they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away

are growing tired of in action in washington, attempts at repealing and replacing obamacare, lindsey graham says there's a lot in store for the party if they can't deliver on the president's agenda. >> if republicans don't the liver on tax reform, repealing and replacing obamacare and keeping americans safe we are going to lose. >> reporter: how likely a republicans to deliver on the president's tax reform? one concern is the president's recent twitter viewed with bob corker because like healthcare the gop will need 50 votes to pass and republicans can only afford to lose two votes. maybe we will learn more, the president sits down with sean hannity, we will see what comes. rob: not a lot of details how this is going to work. moving on to the ever-expanding harvey weinstein scandal, he boarded a private jet overnight headed to a sex rehab center on another continent, in europe. jillian: hillary clinton finally breaking her silence saying, quote, i was shocked and appalled by the revelations about harvey weinstein, behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. weinst

lindsey graham and others are trying to move in the last five years, there were actually 175% increase in the number of robberies. 175% increase of robberies of ffls, federal firearms licensees. that put more than 7,000 illegal guns out on their streets. why aren't they thosing on that. steve: are you asking for more gun laws? >> you don't need more gun laws. you have to fix the atf. they need a senate-confirmed director. they have only had one since 2006. i do think there is mental health data bases that should be pop plated into what's called. it wouldn't have solved this. if you look at the problem of guns. if the democrats were sincere, they would help republicans in these rawrdz rather than saying let's get rid of the second amendment. circumstantially they want to take away all our guns. abby: isn't the bigger picture when we look at these shootings of course we can talk about guns and bump stock majority of people say we didn't know this existed. if have you ability to kill hundreds of people that's horrible and scungt make sense. what drives someone to wake um and say i want to

. what do you make of that? >> i think there's something to that, neil. lindsey graham has said if we don't pass tax cuts, it's basically the end of the party. members have told me similar things. listen, we have to get it done. no matter what. there's going to be days they say where you think this bill is dead and we resurrect it. like healthcare. but they have to have a better ending or they will get killed in primaries and in the general election. >> neil: is it your sense, i was aware of this manafort session and the george papadopoulos character out of the blue. that surprised me. others say you're going to be similarly surprised with names and indictments that come out in the future. that's how it goes. is it your sense that that is the case? >> i think i so. there's a lot of speculation that it was manafort over the weekend and perhaps michael flynn. so i think there's definitely going to be some twists and turns. investigators throw out some of this stuff and see how people react to it. remember, i think that the manafort thing is very damming because there's more coming on hi

: lindsey graham back and forth with the president and flake and corker. someone who was at the luncheon yesterday. how are you doing, senator thune? i don't know if you had butter or salt on that or neither. how did you -- how did it go? >> i thought it was a really good meeting. the president was incredibly upbeat, very light hearted and i thought the interaction was strong and the one thing that we have in common, bill, notwithstanding some of the differences that get aired unfortunately publicly is a clear-eyed focus on the jobs and economy and delivering relief more middle class families. there was a sense of momentum about republican senators. >> bill: how long was the meeting? how many minutes? >> i think we went well over an hour. >> bill: all right. >> the president talked at the beginning of the things his administration accomplished and signed more bills into law than any president since truman and i think that's -- people looking into that and i think it will be an accurate statement. he is getting a lot done. >> bill: earlier today a tweet from the president. the me

senator lindsey graham who said of his own party if we don't pass tax reform, we are dead. >> herman: people will stay home, period. that's what they will do. people are not going to say i want a dishonest democrat over a republican who can't get the job done, they will simply stay home. that's the big danger that they run. so the rhetoric and the definition of the rich, this is the problem that i have. >> harris: you just that everybody there. >> herman: defined the rich as corporations. that's wrong. corporations are not the rich. they're also low corporations out there that are losing money. >> jessica: out take all the blessings i can get. >> sandra: fbi releasing documents that showed former director began drafting a hillary clinton exoneration statement month before the fbi held key interviews and the probe for emails. so now what? plus more threatening rhetoric from north korea. this time coming from the deputy u.n. ambassador. so how should the united states respond? okay folks! let's get the lady of the house back on her feet. and help her feel more strength and e

, obamacare would already be repealed because of lindsey graham. as i mentioned, do think that mike pence has been covered fairly? or is there been an attempt to drag him into the russia situation saying that he should have known something or does know something? >> avenue b there is always this tendency to try and draw distinctions between the vice president and the president on any given issue. we saw this during the campaign. >> mike pence makes it hard. >> he makes it very difficult. but the thing people don't understand, i think some of the media are starting to get this. remarkably close relationships with the president and the vice president that they have. they are in constant communication that can become good personal friends. this is one of the biggest champions out there for the president's agenda.so i think a lot of the narrative is shifting recently. and had to get them moving. >> has the media covered the vice president fairly? >> by and large i would say yes. >> great to see you! thank you for coming in. coming up on #mediabuzz, the president says that this makes him look

times before. when he gets hit he will hit back. rob: lindsey graham says this battle is not worth fighting. >> because of msnbc or cnn, most people don't watch those cable networks, most people are working for a living or know who bob corker is. you manage your a1c, 2 di, but you also have a higher risk of heart attack or stroke. non-insulin victoza® lowers a1c, and now reduces cardiovascular risk. victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill. (avo) and for people with type 2 diabetes treating cardiovascular disease, victoza® is now approved to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. and while it isn't for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight.

first? >> tucker: judges that this is a 2-point question. >> i could do as well as lindsey graham did in the primaries. >> tucker: this may, honolulu, the first american city to make it illegal to do what while crossing the street? >> hint? >> tucker: does anyone watch tv here? the buzzer didn't go off. [buzzer] brian kilmeade. >> one more time with the question. >> makes me want to be make it illegal to do while crossing the street in honolulu? >> text. student text. that sounds reasonable. >> no more texting and walking, stating that if you are caught doing this, you will be paying 8:30 five dollars fine. >> ! >> tucker: you are back to par, back to 0. >> i'm not even good at that, but there is no proof that i was here. i came here with the same score i entered with. >> tucker: we are preparing the headline, shannon bream actually reads the news. >> i watch "tucker," i watch "fox & friends," i listen to kilmeade on the radio. i'm dialed in. >> tucker: i'll see you tomorrow night to talk about your new book. brian kilmeade will be back tomorrow. >> same outfit. >> tucker: the same ou

tell us more and he is right to say that. >> bill: lindsey graham demanding answers after the mission in niger following the deaths of four american soldiers in that west african country at the hands of suspected islamic militants. gillian turner, and fox news contributor, how are you doing, good monday to you. he did not know, schumer did not know. both admit that on sunday. does that surprise you? should they know? where are you on this? >> it shocked me to hear that senator graham, senator schumer and other senior congressional leaders didn't know. does it surprise me? very sadly, no, it doesn't surprise me. these senators, by the way, have senior positions on committees that actually deal with the national defense, national security, military and foreign affairs. it is quite honestly tragic and horrific and shameful they didn't know we had 800 -- >> bill: we have operations everywhere, gillian, and what i take from that is the spreading of this threat and the effort on behalf of the pentagon to try and get out in front of it. >> you are right and that is what the pentagon is doing

lindsey graham in helping provide some sort of transparency as to what we know and to why this happened. pete: colonel michael walser buried 2014. he said this is an advice in is an advise and assist mission without a longtime. embedded green berets, this is what they are trained to do. about 12 at about a thousand local forces. this is a standard practice of what they do to get them trained up to fight islamic forces. as we talked about it, the media has to be responsible how we talk about that. it's so unfortunate what happened at the center out there serving our country. >> you find out more information you find that we have five to six.and troops. i'm sure if you did your homework and didn't wait for the accident happened, you know they are there. american citizens don't take it until something happens and then they go what's going on there. they've been over their training, help in assisting for years. transfer we are not sending their troops in places. we have to be careful in the media as we talk about this and ask important questions because all too often it leads to co

that because it was hilarious. >> kennedy: i honestly think that if they and lindsey graham said this is weekend if they can't repeal and replace obamacare that they can't get anything going on tax reform which they haven't been able to do so far, than they deserve to be thrown out of office but to lisa's point, there is a massive chasm within this party. >> harris: that's not new. give the congressman the last word. >> jason: steve bannon singh is going to go after everybody opposing the president but who was the president golfing with this weekend, rand paul. and lindsey graham was been a thorn in his side. >> harris: president trump about to sit down for lunch with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. just moments from now, we knew that this would happen after that cabinet meeting, so we are expecting him to lay out the republican agenda at that lunch. there is a lot of talk about. tax reform, health care, iran, and he just kind of set it up there with the cabinet wrap-up. we will talk about it. stay close. the best simple salad ever? heart-healthy california walnuts. the b

them, president trump critic, lindsey graham. he says we are tired of being duped into the talks and thinking this is going to be the moment because they dissipate as soon as they end and next thing you know, we come back to talk to them, only they are stronger than ever. do you believe south korea also believes the president is on the right path? >> i think so. the south koreans -- they tend to want to take a softer approach because they are so close to the north koreans. they've been held hostage by the missiles i can already reach them. it makes them understandably and obviously uncomfortable. they understand the american president isn't going to allow the south koreans to be endangered without overwhelming response. retaliatory response. the best thing the american president can do, make sure the south koreans are confident and that's one of the best things that we can do to make sure that kim jong un knows we are serious. what president trump has to do, he has to convince kim jong un that he is not bluffing. unlike the previous presidents were. it's a tall order but that's why y

colleagues. rand paul, lindsey graham over who is a real conservative, whatever. is this making this process tougher with senator corker and his differences and tweets with the president? >> the good news is, i've had a chance to talk to all three of my colleagues that i just mentioned. and frankly i'm talking to every member of the member of the republican conference. none of us are concerned with the back and forth. our focus is not on each other. it's the folks we work for. the folks we work for are in our states. none of them live in washington d.c. so the fact is that our goal of reaching back home to make sure that our folks are taken care of is priority. i think you'll see that happen with the republican conference. i hope you'll see it happen in a bipartisan fashion. >> neil: senator scott, thanks for taking the time. good seeing you. >> great to be with you. >> neil: senator tim scott from south carolina. a quick peek of wall and broad. very different from 30 years ago. we finished at a record. we were down triple digits today. something the president had to say about optimi

lindsey graham. >> this war is getting hot in places where it's been cool. >> neither senator nor secretary she had any more like what happened in the deaths of four american soldiers in niger. american sources tell fox news that the attacks against the u.s. forces team began around 11:00 in the morning africa time. the meeting had with village elders went longer than expected, which gave militants time to organize. armed french aircraft responded, did not fire. the daily briefing, white house wouldn't broach the subject of niger. >> the president and the nation are grateful for the four american heroes and we won't rest until we get some answers. >> the white house modified its criticism of democratic congas from an frederica wilson who listened in on the president's conference the widow of that year victim sergeant ladavid johnson, -- during her 2015 dedication speed a video of that speech shows wilson didn't talk at all about funding, though she did talk about fast tracking the naming of the building the two agents killed in a shoot-out. >> the president signed the bill into la

trump and republican senator lindsey graham to talk about, so today for the second time, second weekend in a row, president trump and senator graham played golf together and in case you don't remember what graham said last week about that, he said that president trump beat him worst on the golf course than he did during the primaries, no word on how the two played today but last week senator graham said that he shot a 73, kelly, i don't play golf but i hear that's pretty good. eric: i guess that must be senator graham. of course, kristin, we will have a lot more on iranian nuclear deal and fallout later on throughout this hour. kristin fisher live at the white house. whar they will. arthel: president trump's refusal to decertify iranian deal is putting america at odds that urged the u.s. to maintain commitment. the decision also sparking a new war of words with the iranian president hassan rouhani, john has more now from middle east bureau, john. >> warned that the u.s. is more isolated than ever following president trump's speech last night and his decision not to recertify the iran nu

. senator lindsey graham predicting trouble ahead if mitch mcconnell can't deliver results on taxes either. here is what he has to say ahead of big meeting today. >> mitch mcconnell is not our problem, our problem is that we promised to repeal and replace obamacare and we failed. we promised to cut taxes and yet to do it. if we are successful mitch mcconnell is fine, if we are not, we are all in trouble. we lose our majority and i think president trump will not get reelected. i hope that we can get a deal to allow continue pavements. the president is not going to give $7 billion unless something changes in obamacare that will justify it. he did talk to senator alexander and encouraging him to get a bipartisan deal that would give flexibility to title 1 mandates but it has to be a good deal. heather: how about this story, disgraced and unemployed colin kaepernick filing a griefance against the nfl. former quarterback claiming that owners are teaming up to keep him off the field because of inpatriotic protests. live with the story that everyone has got on opinion on, good morning, jac

personality and relationships, obamacare would already be repealed because of lindsey graham. as i mentioned, do think that mike pence has been covered fairly? or is there been an attempt to drag him into the russia situation saying that he should have known something or does know something? >> avenue b there is always this tendency to try and draw distinctions between the vice president and the president on any given issue. we saw this during the campaign. >> mike pence makes it hard. >> he makes it very difficult. but the thing people don't understand, i think some of the media are starting to get this. remarkably close relationships with the president and the vice president that they have. they are in constant communication that can become good personal friends. this is one of the biggest champions out there for the president's agenda.so i think a lot of the narrative is shifting recently. and had to get them moving. >> has the media covered the vice president fairly? >> by and large i would say yes. >> great to see you! thank you for coming in. coming up on #mediabuzz, the pres

up by g.o.p. senators bill cassidy and lindsey graham. >> needs to be replaced. the question is, does bernie sanders replace it with single payer health care or do we do the block grant? they go some democrats are patting the president on the back for being so hands-on. >> i applaud that the president pushed it forward. >> others are more skeptical. >> it's not a done deal that this agreement reached in principle by senators alexander and murray will ever become law. >> it's not just democrats. there's no guarantee republicans have enough votes in the senate which the majority party learned the hard way when senator john mccain sided with democrats in july, seeking the republican's replacement. today mccain said he's not definitely a "no" vote despite problems he has had recently with the president. >> my job as a united states senator, senator from arizona, it means i'm somehow going to behave in a way that i will block everything because of some personal disagreement? that's a dumb question. >> even if this deal squeaks through the senate, it may face more resistance in the ho
