FOXNEWSW Fox Report Saturday March 25, 2018

Inaction is no longer safe. And to that we say no more. 96 people 96 people die every day from guns in our country, yet most representatives have no public stance on guns. And to that we say no more peter doocy was at that rally and is now reporting from washington. Peter . And rick, just a few hours ago, the streets of d. C. Were swollen with concerned citizens. Citizens. There were so many people trying to get in, most estimates are that there were hundreds of thousands of people here, and many that we heard from were attending their first ever political rally, and a lot were just trying to get as close as they could to the celebrities and the students on the stage in the shadow of the capitol. Every march, every meeting, every moment, all for that assault weapons ban to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of civilians who dont need them, all for the prohibition of high capacity magazines because no one should ever need access to a magazine that can kill 17 in mere minutes. This big gun control march comes just a day after President Trump signed into law a bill that beefs up background checks and he moved to ban bump stocks. The white house is just a few blocks away from todays march for our lives rally in d. C. , but the president was out of town in maralago florida where a spokeswoman for the white house applauded young people exercising their 1st amendment rights. Still though the president was criticized heavily on stage and on signs held by attendees, and so were republicans in congress and the nra. To all the politicians out there, if you take money from the nra, you have chosen death. If you have not expressed to your constituents a public stance on this issue, you have chosen death. If you dont stand with us by saying we need to pass common sense gun legislation, you have chosen death. The message on the stage here just a few blocks away from the capitol was very straightforward, these activists led by students, are going to organize campaigns against incumbent lawmakers in the midterms if they dont feel those law makers are doing enough to strengthen gun control laws. Rick . Peter doocy in washington. Thank you. President trump spending the weekend in florida after signing a massive 1. 3 trillion dollars spending bill on friday to avert a Government Shutdown. The president had threatened to veto the legislation, but says he decided to approve it because of a muchneeded funding boost for the military. Even though hes making it very clear he is not satisfied with the final product. I say to congress i will never sign another bill like this again. Im not going to do it again. Nobody read it. Its only hours old. Some people dont even know what 1. 3 trillion dollars. Its the second largest ever. President obama signed one that was actually larger, which im sure he wasnt too happy with either. White house correspondent kevin cork reporting from West Palm Beach near the president s maralago resort. It sounds like the feeling at the white house is the president was painted into a corner by congress. Well, begrudgingly yeah i think your right about that, although to be fair, white house officials rick always say listen kevin this was a battle. Its not the war. This is not the end of all budgets and there will be other battles to be had, especially as we get closer to october. Now, i will tell you this, they still say theres plenty of good in it, despite the castor oil taste including more money for the military, for example. However theres clearly less money for the wall and still hundreds of millions of dollars set aside for planned parenthood. White house Officials Say yep, its a bitter pill to swallow, but a necessary one says the president. We looked at a veto. I looked very seriously at the veto. I was thinking about doing the veto, but because of the incredible gains that weve been able to make for the military, that overrode any of our any of our thinking. Criticism obviously from the right in particular, rick, for not fully funding a border wall separating the u. S. And mexico, but again, they say the money, the 1. 6 billion is more or less a down payment. This will be more payments as they try to fund that southern border barrier. Meanwhile, planned parenthood still getting over about a half billion dollars, 500 Million Dollars in this particular budget. They say they do not use federal funds to Fund Abortion services, but critics still wonder why they are getting 500 Million Dollars. Rick . Kevin, there was a late friday night decision on transgender troops that apparently restrict many who currently serve and ban others who might. Can you tell us about that policy . Listen, heres what happened. The senior military at the pentagon have been advising the president throughout in this circumstance and they are telling him listen you have to listen to us. We know whats best on the ground. Effectively what this does rick is it means if you are transgender and you are in the service, you can still serve. You will be limited however given what you can do to serve your country. Others who hope to join the military who happen to be transgender, the road to join the u. S. Services just got a whole lot tougher. Let me share a bit of a statement from the defense secretary. He said this in my professional judgment these policy wills place the department of defense these policies will place the department of defense in the strongest position to protect the American People to fight and win americas wars and to ensure the survival and success of our servicemembers around the world. Now this will come as no surprise. Democrats howled immediately, in particularly the minority leader pelosi took to twitter and wrote this again, this does not prohibit all transgender individuals from serving in the u. S. Military. There are about 5,000 of them right now, but to give you a bit of perspective, rick, thats 5,000 which is about a quarter of 1 of the more than 2 million current u. S. Servicemembers right now serving our country. No less valuable, i should also point that out, by the way. Thank you, kevin cork traveling with the president in florida. For more on this, lets bring in Steven Nelson, White House Reporter for the Washington Examiner. Steven, thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. We heard from the president yesterday. He seemed frustrated with the process and procedures that hes dealing with in washington now. Right, President Trump often times has a theatrical way of making his point and yesterday morning shocked everybody by tweeting that he might veto the large 1. 3 trillion dollars spending bill. He left everyone guessing for a couple hours and then ultimately did sign it. He made several points in doing so, initially he tweeted out that he was displeased with the lack of wall funding and the lack of a daca deal in that bill. He later added that he was upset at the size of the bill and in his words, that no one read it before actually voting on it. So he reassured he addressed directly the Hispanic Community and said he was seriously about a daca deal. And he also reassured fiscal hawks who are concerned about large Government Spending bills. The president also said that he wants the senate to change its rules requiring 60 votes for most legislation and go with a simple majority, but apparently thats not going to happen . Well, thats going to be a whipping boy for years to come. Senators have been there long enough, most of them, to have been in the minority, and it is highly unlikely this they will get rid of the 60 vote threshold. President trump also mentioned getting a line item veto over spending. And that is equally unlikely due to a 1999 Supreme Court decision. So unless theres a constitutional amendment which seems rather unlikely, that is also going nowhere. So his frustrations will likely continue. We heard from Pennsylvania Republican scott perry, who is a member of the freedom caucus, who voted against the spending bill. I want to hear that sound, and then get you to react to that. You dont bring out a 1. 3 trillion dollars spending package at 8 30 the evening before and then vote on it by noon or 12 30 the next day. We spent money on things that we told the American People we wouldnt and we didnt spend money on the things we said we were going to fund essentially. Theres a split in the party. You know, this has been a repeated criticism that people dont have time to read bills before the deals get rushed through. Yep. But i guess thats part of the the way congress works. You know, you make a deal and the leaders want it to pass and it generally does. Thats something that probably is not going to be changing. The president said that he signed the bill because of the military spending boost included in it, but you mentioned some of the things that were left out of this bill. Theres no fix or extension for daca. Theres no border wall funding. Theres no restrictions on funding for sanctuary cities. No language to protect mueller. Theres not a lot theres a lot of stuff thats not in there. Right. But he did get a large increase in military spending, and thats something that President Trump has talked a lot about. Certainly theres give and take. Hes gotten a big win on that, at least he can talk about and already has been talking about how that is going to in his opinion be a good thing for the military and a good thing for the u. S. Position in the world. Steven, the president threatened to never sign another spending bill like this one. But youre not convinced that he will stick to that. Well, under similar circumstances in the future, if he were to veto it, he would risk a Government Shutdown that is entirely on him, and Government Shutdowns historically have not been good for republicans, and they put a lot of peoples livelihoods at risk, so i wouldnt bet on him actually following through on that threat, but, you know, President Trump is an unconventional leader, and i suppose anything is possible. I wouldnt bet on it, though. What were seeing is that no one gets everything they want. Right we thank you steven. We will bring you back later in the hour. So dont leave the building. Were going to look at where washington stands on the gun control debate, as well as President Trumps decision to bring on john bolton as National Security advisor.

The driver a 51yearold man died after veering through the front gate of Travis Air Force base and crashing. He came to the u. S. From india in 1993. Police say he had no known ties to the base or terrorism. Now, the question is why. Why was he there . What led him there . And we dont know the answers to that. I can tell you as of right now, we know of no other associates that were associated to this incident. We know of no threats to the airbase. We know of no threats to the fairfield and greater community. Rick three cell phones were found in the vehicle and police are searching social media, but so far, they say they havent found any threats or clues to his motivation. In france, a Police Officer being remembered as a hero after offering himself up to a radical islamic terrorist in exchange for a female hostage during yesterdays supermarket siege. His death bringing the number of People Killed in the attack to four. President trump expressing condolences, tweeting our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the horrible attack in france yesterday and we grieve the nations loss. We also condemn the violent actions of the attacker and anyone who would provide him support. We are with you, emmanuel macron. Ryan chilcote is in london with the latest. A lot of mourning today in france for the four people that were killed in that attack, but a lot of people also paying tribute to the policeman who said he would swap places with the woman that was being used as a human shield by the terrorists. The Lieutenant Colonel went into the supermarket unarmed, after the hostage taker said he would accept a swap. But unbeknownst to the terrorist, he kept his cell phone on so his fellow Police Officers outside could listen in. When they heard gunshots over the phone, they stormed the building. He was shot and stabbed leaving him mortally wounded. The terrorist was killed by the police. But before it was all said and done, 15 people had been injured in the attack. Now, people from all over france have descended on this town. It is in the south of france. Its called treb. Many of them saying they simply wanted to pay their respects to the Police Officer. The president of france called him a hero. The policemans mother talked to reporters yesterday before he passed away from his injuries. She said when she heard a policeman had swapped places with one of the hostages, she knew it was her son. That mother now has to live with the pain of outliving her son. As for the woman with whom the policeman swapped places, her name is julie. Shes said to be in shock and very distraught. Rick . Rick Ryan Chilcote reporting from london.
