President Trump STUNS Media With Military Announcement ENEMIES Are Panicking
so long as you go president Trump was wrapping up a dinner
with some military leaders and their spouses at the White House and briefly
addressed reporters and hinted at some sort of oncoming storm watch this and
see for yourself here's know what this represents
the White House offered little help deciphering the president's warning
we're never going to say in advance what the president's going to do I think you
can take the president protecting the American people always extremely serious
he's been very clear that that's this number-one priority and if he feels that
action is necessary he'll take it Iran North Korea Isis or just the president
toying with reporters president Trump has about a week to decide his approach
to another deadline every 90 days the administration must tell Congress
whether Iran is complying with the major components of the nuclear agreement will
have a recommendation for the president we're going to give him a couple of
options of how to move forward to advance the important policy towards
Iran one of those options US ambassador to the United Nations nikki Haley
detailed last month she explained the administration can declare Iran is
failing to comply with the nuclear agreement though continue suspending
nuclear-related sanctions against Iran that would keep the u.s. in the Iran
nuclear deal and the agreement intact while Congress debates whether the
United States should withdraw the president's deadline on whether to take
that approach or another October 15th then there's North Korea analysts at
Middlebury Institute center for nonproliferation studies spoke to the
Wall Street Journal about how they examined North Korean propaganda and use
other publicly available tools to determine North Korea's abilities to
threaten the United States at the end of the day would you say with a high degree
of confidence that they have a compact nuclear weapon that can go on an ICBM
cannot understand why this is even a question we're talking about a missile
that can carry warhead successfully enter and hit the Continental Union yes
New York LA Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume joins me now on that
and a possible shake-up in leadership for Democrats in a moment but Brit
you're our senior political analyst so I need you to analyze yes thanks Martha
well the president is given to dropping these kind of hints and suggestions from
time to time and he seems to enjoy the the fuddled mud of those who were
listening at at what he says and he cuz he didn't clarify it sounds as if it's
possible he's talking about some kind of military action that would go against
North Korea remember just a couple days ago Martha Heather now are at the
spokeswoman at the State Department published a tweet that I saw that said
you know the North Korea will not be permitted this is not the exact words
but this is a gist of it yeah well not be printed to acquire a nuclear arsenal
either that leader happened diplomatic Lee or by force the choice is up to the
North Korea which I thought was pretty startling and you put that together with
this maybe he's hinting at something now remember Martha the the traditional view
long held by every military person I've ever talked to and anybody else who's
looked into the issue is that military action all that we would unquestionably
win any conflict against North Korea and possibly fairly quickly he's not a good
option because of the vulnerability to Seoul which is just a short distance
from the from the DMZ and the North Korea South Korea border Seoul has
focused upon it not nuclear weapons necessary but conventional weapons
artillery pieces of in such numbers that the destruction on Seoul and the loss of
human life there heavily populated area would be so great
that it is unacceptable and and means that the military action of the kind we
might contemplate is it really can't be on the table now it's possible that with
weaponry today that didn't exist before some kind of military way of dealing
with this has been devised and some plan is out there that the president was
hinting at but I don't know anything about that and and I haven't seen any
reporting to the effect that that exists and in this leaky City it's hard to
believe it's something that dramatic could be developed in total secrecy but
there you are yeah I had the same impression of course we don't know what
he meant because he didn't say but he's standing there with military leaders and
sort of dropping something like that North Korea is the first thing that that
comes to mind the only other subtext that I thought
about was you know some sort of shake up on his staff whether it be you know at
the Secretary of State position I mean there's been so much going around why
would you why would you link that to comment about doesn't he love to keep us
guessing he loves to keep us guessing exactly I want to play a little
soundbite over on the Democratic side from representative Sanchez talking
about the leadership and get your thoughts on it let's play that I don't
want to single her out I felt that Steny Hoyer Jim Clyburn all
three of them I I think that it's time to pass the torch to a new generation
they all all of the same generation and again their contributions to the
Congress into the caucus are substantial but I think there comes a time when you
need to pass that tour tonight and I think it's time a quick answer here if
you can well if you look at the electoral wreckage the Democrats have
experienced in recent elections in the House the Senate the governorships and
now the presidency it's completely understandable indeed it seems almost
inevitable that people would be looking around casting about for new leaders and
the senior leaders of the Democratic Party are pretty old Nancy Pelosi's
weapon or 70s and and and you know their president
Joe Biden who's I'm still thinking about president is old Hillary Clinton is old
so it's probably on their minds older I'm sure she's backed off by now right
thank you very much we will see what the storm is all about thanks for being here
quick break and we will be right back while standing with his military brass
the president's saying this is the calm before the storm and then press numerous
times what he really meant he said we'll see you heard him there and the press
secretary bombarded with questions with reporters trying to find out what the
storm is let's bring in our panel and start there charlie hurt opinion editor
for The Washington Times Charles Lane the opinion writer for The Washington
Post and Jason Reilly Wall Street Journal columnist and senior fellow at
the Manhattan Institute also author of the book false black power Jason let's
start with you thoughts on this and what it means in
the big picture we we don't know we know that President Trump enjoys poking fun
at the press so maybe he was joking in some way trolling though I think the
spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders made it seem that this was some reference to
something military and he has said in the past I like to keep my cards close
and is he talking about the desertification of the nuclear deal with
Iran is he talking about some action in North Korea there's so much going on in
so many parts of the world who knows we've talked about it many times
Chuck about how sometimes he does talk like this in speeches and it's almost
like coming up next week on The Apprentice you know X Y Z I mean it does
sound like that in a tease format but you are talking about potential military
action here and it's interesting to hear yes interesting it is exactly right the
president loves to stir the pot he loves and he says it over and over again in
different contexts wait and see we'll deal with that in a few days I'll have
something for you soon he likes to eat almost naturally likes to create
suspense and drama around himself and whatever he's doing one might argue
however it's a little irresponsible to do that in the context of the use of
force by the United it's of America especially when there
are these crises out there that everybody's worried about like North
Korea and at least potentially the Iran situation of the two I guess people were
more concerned he had something up his sleeve about North Korea although even
there the crisis seemed to have been abating recently so again I I don't put
a whole lot of stock in it I think it's just the kind of thing he wings all the
time but then it's true what came from the podium today from from Sanders was
seemingly confirmation that something was up my bottom line president
shouldn't talk this way because he shouldn't gratuitous ly generate this
kind of uncertainty yet there are people who look at how he handles foreign
policy and say because he is so unpredictable because he has said what
he has said it has changed the dynamic in a number of different places and I
think that's the key to it is the unpredictability you know it some people
obviously think that it's irresponsible it's certainly unorthodox but it's been
very effective in terms of you know causing adversaries around the world to
be very worried about this guy they're not sure what to take seriously what not
takes years there are people in this country who are not sure what to take
seriously and what not to take seriously for from the president and I think that
when you're dealing with an intractable insane situation like we are in North
Korea that can be a very I think if that can be a very effective tactic
all right meantime the other news today is the change in the the contraceptive
exemption when it comes to Obamacare tickle is the President believes that
the freedom to practice one's faith is a fundamental right in this country and I
think all of us do and that's all that today was about our federal government
should always protect that right and as long as Donald Trump as president he
will we are ending the attacks on your religious liberty and we are proudly
reaffirming America's leadership role as a nation that protects religious freedom
for everyone no he forecast this move earlier back in
May Jason but the HHS putting out the statement no Americans should be forced
to violate his or her own conscience in order to abide by the laws and
regulations governing our health care system today's actions affirm the Trump
administration's commitment to upholding the freedoms afforded all Americans
under our Constitution thoughts on this change well I love the Planned
Parenthood left is trying to make this into an economic issue I'm not sure that
argument really holds water even without insurance contraception is not that
expensive and there are a lot of people think it should be available
over-the-counter frankly these days I think Trump is right to do this on
religious freedom grounds it was a campaign promise too many in evangelical
groups that supported him other voters of faith that supported him and I think
it's the right thing to do because for Obama the for the Obama administration
this wasn't just about getting
contraception to women it was also about forcing employers of faith organizations
of faith to bend to his will he was not going to make an exemption for them
that's government bullying and I think Trump is right to put an end to it by
the way the reason he can do this is because it wasn't in the Obamacare law
itself it was an HHS regulation that can be rolled back yes he's fulfilling a
campaign promise to the one group in the Republican base religious conservatives
who have been the most unequivocally supportive of Donald Trump through thick
and thin so there's no surprise there but I think it's gonna be a dilemma down
the road politically because this contraceptive mandate is broadly popular
with the rest of the electorate I was looking at some poll data on it today
Marist has a pull out today that says 67% of all Republicans actually approved
of this contraceptive mandate before it's a pet cause not even of the
Republicans but a slice of the Republicans and this is the problem with
Obamacare is that now every little health issue segmented down to things
that are important to specific groups of people are now public matter of
political debate and for those of us who don't like Obamacare and don't want
Obamacare and you feel like Obamacare is going
fail ultimately this is III we don't want anything to do with we don't think
I remember anything to do with this stuff and but you now have the situation
where you have people who are convinced that contraception for example is a
guaranteed right from the government thank you
god bless you and God bless america
