Reporter one quick followup on the yesterday, is the president concerns comment made by his staff came up in the, in the lawsuit womanments by Stephen Miller that being second travel ban would have basically the same policy as the first. Used by the judge in that case [inaudible] get that tro yesterday, is he concerned that the there is mixed messaging coming out of the west wing . No hes not. I think the department of justice will be pursuing avenues that will seek to remedy this. I think when you read through the, the courts ruling in hawaii in particular it just doesnt seem to make sense. As i mentioned to gabby. The executive or, the second executive ordered was tailoreds, statements made well before the first one seems not to be an accurate reading of the law, i let the department of justice, you know be the ones that argue this and make the appropriate legal argument. Hunter. Olivia, sorry. Report long list of news reports you mentioned accusation that gchq was involved. Did the president ever raise this with conversation with theresa may . If that were to pan out would that imperil the special relationship between these are just, that happened i think two days ago. Something reported on air, no, no it has not been raised. Were not, im just, awl were doing is literally reading off what other stations and people have reported. I think that casts a concern of some of the activities that may have occurred during the 16 election. Were not casting judgment on that the idea is to say if these organizations and individuals came to these conclusions they merit looking into. Olivier. Sean a couple. News report about the president s meeting with the sad did i defense minister crown prince. Says the defense minister told the president about a terrorist plot against the United States. Did that happen . What is the nature of that . How worried should americans be . Well obviously never comment on any specific threats to the homeland. Were committed to insuring safety of every american. We share intelligence amongst a variety of countries. We would never could not meant on potential threat or not that existed but we appreciate several countries we work with closely, to insure we do what we one more. Cthe homeland. Secretary tillerson, 20 years of diplomatic efforts failed to get north korea to denuclearize. That is plainly through but i guess the yes that comes up, does the president plan a break from diplomacy all together . Are we looking only use of force or some other coercive measures . Im not going to comment. The president never takes anything off the table. That is something he has been very clear about. And, blake . Reporter over the course of the campaign the president made a couple different, many comment about the budget and the deficit. At one point he said he thought he could get rid of the National Debt over the course of eight years. At another point he said he would insist on a balanced budget relatively soon. Now the baseline that the administration is giving us, well at least were not adding on to the deficit which is nearly half a trillion dollars. Im curious how we got from that point to now where he was talking at one point eliminating a bunch. Now it is adding on . I think director mulvaney addressed that. Look, a couple things, the senate dragged its feet getting director mulvaney confirmed and in office. We were behind the curve having a director of omb. We got in here. I think we produced a blueprint consistent with the president s principles and priorities but he already made it very clear well have a budget probably some time in may will outline more specifics of revenue piece, entitlement piece and full details of all this. But thats eliminating a 20 trillion debt and tacklings the current deficit something will take a little time and something president committed to producing and we talked exclusively about president s commitment to protect taxpayer dollars. This budget and a lot of action the president took on other projects including the f18, next generation of air force one, show that the president s committed on very, very personal basis to getting involved in programs and and policies to reduce the deficit and respect taxpayer money. So this is step one. Its a down payment on that goal. Reporter as for future cut anyone can tell you you have to get to entitlements. I understand. Reporter is that on the table potentially, yes or no . Director mulvaney put it he was chosen for this job because of his commitment to fiscal austerity and respect of taxpayer dollars and budgeting skills. I think that weve got to get past today. Let us get down to that and well have more for you. This budget is huge down payment on president s goal showing his commitment to fiscal responsibility and respecting taxpayer. Eamon . Reporter a lot of americans are putting together their tax returns. When the president put together his tax return will he release it publicly . He is not under audit . St. Patricks day is tomorrow. What im more focused on. Presumably his 2016 returns are not under audit yet. Well cross that bridge. The president has been very clear about his position on his tax returns. And well have to see where it goes from there. The president has been very clear and campaign he is under routine audit. John. Reporter thank you, sean. Reading the draft of the budget and listening to director mulvaneys comments yesterday and day, it would appear the National Endowment for the arts would be phased out entirely in two years. Can you name any other Government Programs or even cabinet departments such as housing and urban development and education, in which its entire function may be phased out or he reduced to another agency in government or even the state . John, who is here from omb is appropriate person to ask. I know they have done several briefings on the budget. We could have omb definitely get back to you on this, if you can, if you can contact him after this. Wiretapping. Few minutes ago it was communications swept up. Can you definitely say he feels like barack Obama Wiretapped trump tower or was broadly surveiled, which is it . He was very clear about this last night. He talked about as you said. He was. He meant it. Put it in quotes. It was very broad. So that is what he meant by theg or it was surveilance. We covered this 10 times. Reporter no specific answer what it was. I understand that but that is the point of them looking into this, caitlyn. I think the idea is to look into this. Have this house and Senate Intelligence committees look into this and report back. Reporter follow up on that. Ifll this comes out and there is no proof that president obama had any role in any wiretapping there was no wiretapping will President Trump offer apology . Three times this weekend. The answer were not going to prejudge where the outcome of this is. We have to let the process works it will. When there is report comes out conclusive from there well be able to comment, but to jump ahead of process would be appropriate. Brian crabtree, salem radio in georgia. Reporter sean, thank you for taking questions from a talk radio show host in georgia and [inaudible]. I have two questions. President s tax returns and classified information. President Trump Campaigned on draining the swamp. The American People then want to know why the [inaudible] and commissioner koskinen has not yet been fired by the Trump Administration . My second question is regard, there are many conservatives are really concerned that all time speaker of the house is leading President Trump down a very path on health care. How do you react to that . On the first one there is no personnel updates with respect, with the exception of ones i mentioned today. On the second, donald trump is not one to be led down a path by anyone. I think he talked today at the lunch with the taoiseach and speaker ryan and working handinglove with the speaker. He talked about it last night. This is a commitment that he has to enacting health care. This is a process that he is committed to, wants to see through because of a goal that he wants to achieve ich is making a more patientcentric Health Care System that lowers the costs and increases the options but he doesnt get led down any paths. He leads very clearly. If you listen to speaker ryan today hes in agreement there has been a Strong Partnership between the house and the administration and i think the senate so far to make sure that we get this bill done. That is what our goal is going to be. And thats, i would argue we have done a pretty good job getting that done. Jonathan . Reporter [inaudible]. Cut the National Institutes of Health Budget by 19 . It is very important part of the government funding medical research. Yeah. Reporter budget director mulvaney yesterday acknowledged that the private sector cant fill that gap when there are rare diseases, we need a really robust government presence. Invited patient to Congress Talk about medical innovation and new cures. How do you square those things cutting nih by 19 of the many many conservatives want to increase budget . Director mulvaney someone asked him during the q a period reporter my outtake listening to him yesterday it wouldnt be cut. Assumption in washington, jonathan, if you get less money its a cut. Reality there is efficiencies, duplicity, ways to spend money bert f youre wasting a lot of money, that is not a true dollar spent. I think when you look at the way that director mulvaney and president approach this budget. It was, can we ask, can we get more with the same dollars . Can we find duplicity, can we fine efficiencies . Can we combine facilityies in some cases at nih to enhance a better experience whereby we have an outcome reduced savings. But to assume because you spend a ton of dollars you will get a better outcome, with all due respect look at district of columbia. They spend by far more per capita than any other city in the country on education. And i think they have, you know, tremendous issues that are constantly being dealt with in their education system. To assume because you throw money at a problem it somehow is magically solved is washington way of looking at a budget problem. Reporter i think i understand that. Part. Issue were working as director outlined during the past process work with them and talk to each agencies and departments how to walk through their budget in a way insures they continue to do the Core Functions if they want, finding ways to reduce waste, get enhanced efficiencies and get rid of duplicity but that is very washington way of looking at a problem when you say, lets just look how much we spend as a measure of how much we care or how much were going to get done. I think that the president has been very clear what his priorities on this budget are, and outcomes we expect from every dollar that we spend. So for being in office for 55 days, or 50 some odd days whatever it has been we had unique ability to go forward so far and make a very strong commitment to enhancing our national security, to protect the country and keep america safe and our citizens safe while at the same time making re we dont did for people to work harder, spend more to washington, send more to washington that gets ultimately wasted. I dont see how that is showing respect to the American People or american taxpayer especially so many people are working two, sometimes he three jobs, or both parent are working just to get by, pay the mortgage. Were saying dont worry, keep sending more money to washington and well not take the time. There should be review of all agencies. Director mulvaney pointing out how many unauthorized agencies and departments and programs we have throughout the government. If we do that, at some point there should be a debate whether or not these agencies and programs are achieving their mission. And if they are, then great, fund them. But if theyre not, we shouldnt be asking hardworking american taxpayers to send more money to washington and doesnt further those goals. Thank you, guys. Take care. Reporter put to rest, sean . Melissa see ya. Im out of here. Im done. David day melissa mick mull vape any drilled down on the Mick Mulvaney. He said, those programs are not going away. Were saying theyre not being fued in th specific way. Talkedbout duplicity and duplication, both of those things toughout the whole government and how fund are al advocated. Said again and again, my favorite quote. We consider that a waste of your money. David no apologies whatsoever. They kept trying to get squeeze on him. What about poor people here . When money is wasted, money is wasted. That is not good for anybody. Melissa we were obviously riveted of im melissa francis. David im david asman. This is after the bell. We have diana furchtgottroth and former advisor to president george w. Bush and ronald reagan. Steve bell, bipolicy Center Senior advisor and budget policy staff. Die anya, everybody in the media, this is Donald Trumps what they call skinny budget. That is phrase i hadnt her, the president s first year he comes out with a budget nobody expects will pass. But wont this at least have a an effect what does pass . Wont this kind of move the momentum towards where the president wants to go defunding some of what washington is doing . I think it will, yes. And, i think that he is fulfilling President Trumps what he said he would do during his campaign. So i dont think anyone should be surprised. He said he would cut government waste. I can assure you know one between the east coast and california cares at all about this. They probably say that theyre tired of seeing their money go to washington and washington it. Plus i think it is not right that if a function is taken off the budget Like Corporation for public broadcasting, then it wont exist. Look, we have so many hundreds of thousands of even of radio and tv stations why do we need one funded by the government . David not to mention, steve, the fact you listen to pbs. I listen to npr in the morning i think they make cnn look like a protrump organization. They are about as far to the left as anything can get. Thats my taxpayer money, and a lot of other people may not agree with them have to pay for that. There is that as well. Is there not . Even if it were further to the right, even if they were far to the right there isnt a reason for the government to be funding them. David steve, go ahead. That is a good point. What we wanted originally from the Public Broadcasting Corporation was diversity of thought. Remember we only had he three channels and three major networks. It brought a diversity of thought. Whether it should exist i think congress will continue itit still does things other institutions wont do. What i think mulvaney made very clear was this. Yes, we dont want to eliminate programs. We want to eliminate waste. There is a fundamental difference between eliminating programs and eliminating waste. David right. So far, and i want to be careful here because we only have a skinny budget, we dont have the Economic Forecast yet. We dont have what he may do to entitlements. We should wait before we draw final judgment. Right now, based upon what we know, i am disappointed he did not take on the large entitlements which are driving the debt and deficit. That would be david that is the question we mentioned. Well see if that happens eventually. But for now, diana, steve, thank you for your analysis and hanging with us. Ashley well be right back with more. Why pause a spontaneous moment . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Do not drink alcohol in excess. To avoid longterm injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. If you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. Ask your doctor about cialis. David as you just saw White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer he getting grilled during the White House Press briefing. Blake burman asked a question. The that was hottest i have ever seen. Have you seen a hotter one . Reporter started off hot. You he knew it was going to be because of the whole trump tower wiretapping story. You knew he would have to get into it and he did get into it with jonathan karl, jim acosta, cnn and others. Story of the day. But also, the budget, david. That was focus for Trump Administration as they unveiled this skinny budget. Almost every agency and every department here in washington, d. C. Would have proposed cuts. Epa leads a 31 cut if the administration gets its way behind them. Labor department, agriculture departments all in the 20 range as well. The Administration Says this is Budget Proposal reflects president s priorities. Because of that the department of defense leading the way with 10 increase. Only two other agencies to have increases, department of homeland security, veterans affairs, 6 range as he well. Before sean spicer got to the podium it was Mick Mulvaney said this basically reflects the president s priorities. Listen. This is the message the president wanted to send to the public, press, to capitol hill. He wants more money for defense. More money for border enforcement. More money for Law Enforcement generally. More money for vets and School Choice and to offset the money with savings elsewhere. Reporter mulvaney saying they will continue on the 488 billion deficit from fiscal 17 into 18. This is not a balanced budget. When i got up to the podium, i said will entitlements be touched, david and melissa, they are nowilling to go there. Melissa but you asked
