it isn't like he's AWOL or he's at the beach a story says he's going to North
Korea so even if he didn't come back with the three American hostages
he was obviously there to lay the groundwork for this very important
nuclear summit between president Trump Kim jong-un so the story I think didn't
make much sense yeah I mean they're drawing comparison to Rex Tillerson now
you know they had written an article about how Rex Tillerson will also
faraway when they had talked about this potential meeting between Kim jong-un
and the president that was that was Rex Tillerson and so now they're trying to
make it seem as though Pompeo is irrelevant as well because they called
tellers Tillerson irrelevant but as you mentioned even if Pompeo hadn't won the
hostages release it is the job of the secretary of state to go on these
overseas missions traveling thousands of miles away as the times like to put it
why wouldn't they report on that well again they was mentioned in the story
that Pompeo was going to North Korea and everybody knows why why would he be
there obviously he's there for a very important mission this upcoming North
Korea summit that's exactly right I'm the president in that clip you played
before the break obviously enjoyed taking a swipe at the New York Times and
you know it reflects the media's fixation with optics because the
suggestion is it's more important for him to have been here in Washington on a
decision that already been made that was being announced by the president than to
be on an airplane going to Pyongyang to talk about you know possible disarmament
of North Korean downtimes has a very different story today saying that all
this talk about President Trump potentially being in line for a Nobel
Prize is maybe not that crazy thing that really gets me is you think that this
decision to back out of the Iran deal was made after Pompeo left no you know
Mike Pompeo has been very much all hands on when it comes to this decision
clearly that session was made before Pompeo was then sent to North Korea so
it was a one-two punch for the White House and the New York Times missed it
yeah I think that it was fair if with the jerk for journalists appointed the
Rex Tillerson often did seem out of sync with his boss and often was out of the
loop on major decisions former congressman Pompeo it's one of the
reasons President Trump picked him said he was very comfortable with him I
have to see I am now at the State Department yeah you know it is negative
or false write-ups like these that led to the president's tweet regarding the
fake news let's put that up on the screen the fake news is working overtime
just reported that despite the tremendous success we are having with
the economy and all things else 91% of the network news about me is negative
fake what why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is
corrupt take away credentials do you ever see him following through with this
and what would the fallout be if the president were to censor the press that
way well I think that the remark about credentials even the president was just
venting is really unfortunate first of all he doesn't have the power to do that
credentials awarded by the White House Correspondents Association beyond that
while he did pull some news outlets credentials as a candidate he's now the
president of the United States and while he has every right to push back against
negative coverage this was triggered by a conservative group study that matched
some earlier studies about 90% negative coverage of this president on the
network evening newscast to go into credentials I think just gives
ammunition to his critics that oh he wants to trample our Free Press he can
push back as hard as he wants against news organizations but I think he
shouldn't go there he should rise above this criticism as president I don't
think he would really actually push to remove credentials I think he's again
that's the president's way of saying look you know enough is enough but I
don't see it happening a little bit of a finger in the eye yeah he likes to play
with words and he obviously it works so anyway Howard Kurtz thank you very
much you can see Julie all right get ready to see this again one-zero
liftoff this is day six the countdown is now on for a new SpaceX launch what the
company will debut this time around plus he just pulled off an upset in West
Virginia as Patrick Morrissey gets ready to face Senator Joe Manchin in November
what this race tells us about the midterms coming up I may not have been
everyone's first choice but over the next six months I'm gonna work hard
every single day to obtain your confidence and your vote we are just a
few hours away from another SpaceX launch at Kennedy Space Center today the
company will debut its newest reusable falcon 9 rocket to launch a satellite
into orbit the black 5 it's called Falcon has an upgraded heat shield and
other improvements and the company is hoping to use the rocket as an
incredible 10 times liftoff is scheduled for just after 4:00 p.m. Eastern
to the midterms now in the latest Republican primaries including a key
race in West Virginia where Patrick Morrissey pulled off an upset seem to be
giving the GOP some new optimism about the November elections the headline in
Karl Rove's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal reads don't write off the
Republicans yet a blue wave may be coming but this week GOP voters showed
strong enthusiasm there's now Isaac right partner at forward solutions
Strategy Group and a Democratic strategist and Lawrence Jones editor in
chief of campus reform conservative commentator and radio talk show host
thanks both of you for being here good to be here Isaac how do you see the
results of this week's primaries I see good news for Democrats I mean
Republicans the the Republican establishment in West Virginia voted in
a man who is a former failed politician from New Jersey moved to West Virginia
who in the interim spent his time lobbying for the pharmaceuticals
industry in the state that's been stricken by the opioid epidemic that's
not going to go well against somebody like Joe Manchin who fights for the
people of West Virginia in Ohio we saw softness in the Republican vote the
Republican congressman who took Senate nomination despite having Donald Trump a
sitting president's endorsement robocall from the president he couldn't break 47%
in a Republican primary against four unknowns I see good news for Democrats
I see energy I see an American electorate there regardless regardless
of partisan labels are rejecting the failed agenda Republicans the failed
health care agenda to sabotage the ACA that seemed four million more Americans
lose their health care than when Donald Trump came into office let's get the
tapes from Lawrence now Lawrence you say that Republicans might be the underdogs
and they should look forward to that yeah I'm okay with being the underdog
because the fact of the matter is CNN just came out with a poll 57% of
Americans feel like things are heading in the right direction and the choice is
pretty clear for the American people if you want tax cuts if you want to focus
on your day to day if you want a party that's going to focus on you and your
families then you'll reelect Republicans in the house if you
want to talk about Russia and stormy Daniels then the Democrats is your best
shot but I think that the American public is gonna cyber Republicans based
on that new CNN poll Isaac do you think Democrats are focusing too much on on
stormy Daniels and Russia I think Laurens just named the problem
for Republicans their focus has been off the mark they have missed the mark time
and time again for the American electorate the tax code that benefits
the wealthiest working Americans the middle class are worried about saving
enough for the future saving enough for an unplanned health care and Democrats
want to address this is what Republicans have failed at time and time again this
is the agenda that's going to cost Republicans their majorities and the
crumbs comments by Nancy Pelosi being tone deaf to the American people that
are just elected a president because they were living paycheck to paycheck
and they didn't seem like the past administration got it and so you think
the party a leadership that suggests that the tax cuts were crumbs it's the
best solution for America right now she my friend Republicans gave the whole
loaf of bread to their wealthy corporate donors and working people were left with
what was left over people the small businesses that made this country great
in the first place I think if that's the case why why that 57% right track rating
that that he was just talking about I think the CNN poll that we're talking
about measured a lot of what people have seen in the steam of the last of the
Obama economy that is as it transitions into million more Americans are
uninsured today than were when Donald Trump took office because of the
sabotage of the ACA there 94 percent premium increases projected in some
markets next year because of the Trump Republican sabotage of the ACA Virginia
care providers have already Requested over 60% increases in premiums the the
smaller chunk of the tax cut that that working people got are going to be
completely absorbed by these health care
come back to Causton alright you know it's not interesting John about this
entire narrative is that if things were going so well under Obama administration
then why didn't they just the American people elect Hillary Clinton or more
members to the Senate Democrats want to talk about what's real for American
people health care saving money for the future
we got a net forward not backwards to Lawrence go ahead the fact of the matter
is that the American people by the polling is telling you that they are
pleased with where this administration is going now this Donald Trump have some
problems with the tweeting and all that of the American people don't like but
from a policy standpoint that's what the American people care about what policies
are gonna affect them on a day to day basis the Democrats need to continue to
talk about rushing and storming I guarantee you they don't care about that
when it comes to when they're living paycheck to paycheck I think the
American people take wealth over poverty tax cuts instead of tax increases as
you're talking about the 90 percent increase people are gonna see in this
country and their health care premiums under Trump and the Republicans and fix
health care was already under an uninsured now that weren't when Donald
Trump took office four million more Americans that are non health care
crisis away from Patera Lawrence Jones Isaac right thank you both thanks John
Thanks so the Department of Homeland Security working to deliver on president
Trump's border emission what it's now requesting to boost security take a look
at that mess that's on television right now it is a total catastrophe and these
are the laws passed by Democrats so that we have open borders they want open
borders we have to have borders if you don't have borders you don't have a
country so we're gonna have it here T's seeking
more troops to boost security on our southern border the additional manpower
would aid hundreds already there as part of President Trump's and border mission
and Jonathan hunt joins us live from our Los Angeles Bureau to tell us more about
this one hey Jonathan hey Julie president Trump requested up to 4,000
National Guard troops border states promised 2000 and the Pentagon tells us
currently about 1600 of those are deployed with another 250 in orientation
here in California likely to begin their work in earnest in the next few days the
Department of Homeland Security wants more and is trying to get the total
number closer to that initial 4,000 request so a formal request for another
700 National Guardsmen along with helicopters and other equipment is now
being considered by defense secretary mattis who's expected to give an answer
later today given that the Secretary has already provisionally approved the 4,000
total it seems this request for 700 will come under that and therefore is likely
to be granted even with the lower than requested number of National Guard
troops currently on the ground Customs and Border Patrol says they are already
making a difference contributing to 1600 apprehensions of people crossing the
border illegal and around 450 turn backs in which those trying across the border
give up their attempt according to the Senate Homeland Security Committee
Chairman Ron Johnson the troops while not having direct contact with
immigrants act as a force multiplier it's primarily to free the customs
Border Patrol agents to do their job on the border to apprehend these
individuals but it looks on I completely support DHS has requests for this as we
mentioned Julie we're expecting a decision very soon from secretary Matt
is on the extra 700 troops we'll let you know as soon as we hear Julie all right
Jonathan hunt thank you you
