Shocking moment George Clooney being tossed like a rag doll. Fox friends first starts right now. Heather well, thank you for joining us on wednesday morning. Made it halfway through the week. Halfway to go, im heather childers, already fireworks with this one. We start with fox news alert. President trump coming out swinging already pressing nato allies on defense spending after bilateral in brussels happening right now actually. Kevin corke traveling with the president in belgium, good morning, kevin. Hay up or prepare for a payout, the nato summit, not that hes talking about taking the u. S. Out of nato or anything draw connian in that respect but what the president is saying, im here to stand up for the american taxpayer who had been funding disproportionately. We are protecting germany, we are protecting france, we are protecting all of the countries and numerous countries go out and make pipeline deal with russia where they are paying billions of dollars into the cofers of russia and i think thats inappropriate. You tell me, is that appropriate . We are complaining about this from the time i got here, it should never have been to happen. I have to bring it up because its unfair to our country an very unfair to taxpayer and i think that these count have to step it over not over 10year period, but step it up immediately. Heather, all i can say watching that is wow, that display by the president comes as the leaders of alliance are certainly looking for ways to strengthen the unit while obviously mapping the financial expectations of the president of the United States. By the way, fewer than 10 of nearly 3 dozen nato members are currently spending about 2 of gdp on defense and thats been the president s argument that somehow the u. S. Which is paying about 3 and a half percent of its gdp on defense is disproportionately paying if for security interest in the region. He simply wants our partners to step it up. We will have more on that in our next hour including more about the upcoming family photo and what promises to be a very interesting day here at the nato summit. Heather who will be next to who, of course, thats always important. Makes a lot of sense what he said if the numbers are correct that germany is spending up to 70 of, you know, on their energy from germany but we are germany spending it on getting it from russia and we are spending money protecting germany from russia, doesnt make a whole lot of sense, hes right. Thank you so much. Yeah. Heather sorry, kevin, delay there in our connection. Well, President Trumps tough talk is not what many of the nato leaders are used to hearing, wyoming senator and member of the Foreign Relations Committee Said its helping what other predecessor couldnt get other to pay up. The president is right, for too many years nato has not been doing enough. Dwight eisenhower said that in the 50s, donald trump was the first to ever get action. The nato countries have paid 14 billion more dollars now that hes in office per year than they did under president obama because President Trumps tough talk, America First really made the difference. The u. S. Shouldnt pay more to defend the Nato Alliance than the different nato countries who are right there in the location do. They are supposed to go 2 , very few of them have, many more are up to that level, theres a lot that they havent paid over the years. Heather so far 8 countries pledged the meet requirement of 2 . Thats 4 more than last year. So we will see how it goes. Great update for you, all 12 members of soccer team and coach are now recovering after being trapped in cave 18 days.

Garrett tenny live in washington with more of the battle brewing in the senate. Good morning, garrett. Heather, good morning to you. This will be a tough and tumble battle to get kavanaugh confirmed. Most democrats expect today vote against, a decision that many made before the president announced pick. After escorting kavanaugh to capitol hill, mike pence said after they sit with nominee, most will be able to support him. We have every confidence that as members of senate come to know and appreciate judge kavanaugh as the American People come to know and appreciate of the principle jurist that we will see him confirmed. Leading democrats are intent to stop the nomination and are waging a fierce campaign against Brett Kavanaugh claiming he will undo a whole host of protections. A nominee of the Supreme Court that would undo roe, nominee that would undo the health care that so many people depend on. Hes done it. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is touting kavanaughs cred i want ails and urging the senate to move quickly with his confirmation. The president really could not have done a better job picking extraordinarily wellqualified nominee.

Com heather fox news alert for you, President Trump holding a bilateral breakfast tat nato summit less than an hour ago. The president already calling for his nato counterparts to step up their defense payment to the military alliance. So is this the right stance to take, here now to weigh in is former chief economists for the u. S. International trade commission peter, thank you so much for joining us. Love to have you with us, always. Thank you. Heather the president did take some questions, not really scheduled as usual and he talked specifically about germany and made a lot of sense if his numbers are correct as saying earlier, he said that germany spends between 70 to 80 of their energy comes from russia, so then why are we spending money to protect them from russia when they are spending billions of dollars with russia. Makes sense . Absolutely. We warned the germans and others not to develop a dependence on russia for natural gas, they had other alternatives and took the cheap way out which the germans like to do. They complained about steel tariffs, their steel mills are Security Risk because there are allies, theres absolutely Security Risk. If war broke out in europe, i dont know that we would be able to stop them before they got to grind, eventually we can deal with russians but itll take a long time to get yankees to stop them. The troops arent enough because we can only afford to put so much. Its up to the germans to defend themselves. Heather we have been hearing for a while that the spending is unfair when it comes to defense spending with nato and nato countries must pay more. So, i mean, President Trump obviously hes already set the ground work that he will go after them, he will go after them hard, is that the correct thing to do . Absolutely, he sent a letter to many european leaders basically saying you have to spend and the leader in belgium which spends less than 1 of gdp. Its about. 7 compare today our 3. 5 on defense, oh, its hard to take letters like this seriously. They just assume that at the end of the day, like a younger brother, you know, leeches off the older brother that we will show up. Well, theres limit to ability to show up. We have pressures on us in asia and so forth, the north korea problem, you know, theres only so many yanks to go around. When they say the yanks are coming, i mean, what about the germans. The germans wont even fight. They have the constitutional restrictions, they didnt participate in gulf other than put water around. Heather china hitting back with 200 billion u. S. Tariff threat i should say, 200 billiondollar threat calling totally unaccept unacceptable. What do you expect them to be . They just respond in kind and they can be more effective. The other thing they can do, they can print money, they dont have laws, subsidize industry so we dont feel it, the president is talking about 10 tariff on 200 billion, they manipulate currency and value the yawn, we will hit the chinese harder and ive told the administration this if we expect to get results, the tariffs are inadequate to move china, for example, we should impose sanctions just the way we do on russia metal companies, on Chinese Companies that have appropriated u. S. Technology. Dont give them access to this market, penalize the banks that do business with them and we have levers an frankly we are going after china with one hand tied behind the back. Heather much like we have in russia and north korea. Absolutely. They can get around tariffs. Heather peter, thank you so much. We will have you out after what unfolds in brussels. Take care. Heather thank you, time now almost 20 minutes after the top of the hour, buildings leveled, what sparked this that sent people running for their lives .

Let this be a lesson to anyone considering purchasing a home with hoa, you must read the agreement. Michael on twitter also weighed in saying, this hoa is out of control, they should never have happened and lets just get to one more tweet, called it ho rindous, should never happen to america. That Home Owners Association by the way, heather, refused to respond to the story when several news outlets requested the comments. Heather speaking of news outlets, nbc reporter who deleted a tweet on the kavanaugh selection but did claim that judge kavanaugh was in cahoots with kennedy. Carley thats right, the tweet coming from leanne calledwell, she deleted tweet, kennedy and Trump White House have been in negotiations for months over kennedys replacement once kennedy received ashuirnts that it would be kavanaugh, his former law clerk, kennedy felt comfortable retiring, rather, according to source who was told of the discussion. Well, she later deleted that tweet and replaced it with another one saying that it kind of didnt really suggest the story and the right way and a lot of folks on social media are now weighing in on this one, john says more false stories from the media, go figure and another twitter user says, its bad journalism to not vet your sources before distributing it to the masses, so there you have it. Heather all right, are we talking about the last one, the fun one with the stuffed animal. We have to get to the fun one.
