President was asked about this talking across the south lawn after talking to the press on his way to the helicopter as he was traveling to indianapolis for his first tax reform speech. The president was asked, are you going to fire tom price . He paused for a second, turned over his shoulder and said we will see. He had this look that i am angry at this person, and the look said you bet you betcha. It was clear he was very angry and upset over what price had that done in terms of taking those charter flights. Now the figure, i believe, is up over a Million Dollars for the cost of the flight. He says its out of keeping with the tone and tenor of the trump administration. We are trying to save taxpayers money, not spend more. When he said, are you going to fire tom price, they had an announcement later today. That typically means its a done deal, just have not been made public yet. We found out from press secretary sarah sanders. Dont know if you talked about this with her or not, she said that secretary price actually offered his resignation earlier this morning and the president excepted it, so its just a matter of getting the medications Team Together to make the official announcement this afternoon. When the president said this afternoon, well make an announcement, he already made the decision. John, thank you very much. I guess, we will see is code for youre fired. You betcha. Kimberly, we talked about this the other day. If catherines ability has had done this, we would be very critical. So be fair. The bottom line is, i agree with the president. He made a promise to really drain the swamp and reform washington, d. C. , and politics as we know it. Therefore, when you see a situation like this which at least suggests there was an abuse, these charter flights shouldnt have been taken, there is too much largess and waste of taxpayer money, im right up that alley in that lane. I think that is 100 true, if they are criticism, it was improper. Obviously the president would be upset with Something Like this. I mean, wouldnt you . Tom price offering resignation was the right thing to do. The president accepted it. That is that. Let that be a lesson learned. They will probably criticize anyway. I think when you put the phrase private jet and politician in the same sentence, never good, one. Never good for either party. No. To pick up on what kimberly said, i think theres a lot of pressure at this president at this moment given that he just submitted a tax plan that people on the democratic side are arguing it benefits the rich. He has people on his team and it looks like they are just living like, you know, the high and mighty and they dont really care. Not in touch with the grassroots. The other thing to say here is i think the failure of the Obamacare Repeal did not help tom price with President Trump. Writes. He was on thin ice in that regard. The final point i make, jesse, theres a lot of talks around regard that at the private session with donors, the president was highly critical again of jeff sessions, his attorney general. That does not seem to be a happy relationship. Hopefully he doesnt say well see about jeff sessions. Or hes a good man. [laughter] did tom price say, this is why i said this . He tried. He also said he would replay the federal government for his portion of the flight. Basically it got out of control. When a cabinet secretary embarrasses the president , it becomes the story and you are off a ledge later failure you know, tom price is probably right to submit the resignation. I would add one other thing. It wasnt fake news. Political, the politico, the reporters track this down. I would not say that they were proud, brought a scalp, but this is what happens in washington when you have reporters get outs on the White House Briefing room, stop focusing on everything the president is tweeting, and look at whats happening across the federal government, you might find stories like this. Hopefully they do not run too many stories like this. Gutfeld, you understand the allure of not going through lines. How ironic his name is price and thats what he paid for costing americans millions. We will be right back. I want to. There is a bright side for tom price on this. Count this as a relief that this is how you lost your job as a politician. This is not a career killer. You werent found in bed with a horse. You are going to think, how did you lose your job . I flew private. That sucks. I like private. Its not the worst thing. I dont think most Americans Still dont know who he is. I dont even know who he is. What day is it . Its friday [laughter] President Trump has the finger on the pulse of his voters. This is the exact thing he said would not happen in washington on his watch. I think he understands his fate. There is another story like this bubbling with the va secretary who apparently was taking flights at taxpayer expense to go watch wimbledon. The movie . The tennis court in london. Oh, okay. Thats never good. To another top story. A week ago today, President Trump sparked a fire storm with his suggesting that players who do not stand for the National Anthem should be fired. Players are now standing. Progress on the field last night in green bay. Every player on both the packers and the bears stood with locked arms during the National Anthem last night. Perhaps the nfl is realizing the protests are bad for business. Packers fans appear to largely ignore the teams request to link arms during the anthem. Lots of folks Holding Signs in support of the flag instead. More and teams may be back on their feet this weekend as well. The steelers will be, according to this player. I promise you one thing for this week, we will all be standing out there for the National Anthem. Trust me. We respect our flag, respect our military. I do care about the flag. This team will stand up. We talked about this last night. We said the tide is turning, kimberly. I think there is evidence we were right. Absolutely. It feels right to be here at the five. [laughs] its great. Its friday. The five. 7 minutes in, we are getting it all right. One, will bring them along for the ride. We are able to get a positive outcome, we are going the right direction. Do i wish this never happened . Of course. However, it seems they were able to do some quick work behind the scenes that this didnt continue to escalate into a big public nightmare. Ultimately, this was going to affect the team owners, the players, et cetera, you were seeing a difference in terms of viewership. It really can have a bad impact over all. You want to respect the players and their rights to express themselves about their personal opinions or they want to stand for something, like for social injustice, but at the same time you want them to do the job they were paid to do, so find a way to work it out. So far, they are standing and i hope we can move forward for the country. I hope we can too. Hand over your hearts. Thats right. Going in that direction, it looks like, and a lot of teams are asking all the players to stand up in unison. Do you think that is a good thing . I dont have any objection to them. I never thought i thought it confused the message. Let me just say this. What you are seeing the man standing locking arms and theyve asked the fans to lock arms, im not sure many of them did, but they asked. Its an attempt to call attention to what they see as an injustice, which is the way black people are treated by cops. So they are trying still to make the statement. What strikes me, having written about civil rights history. If you go back to dr. King. Dr. King, when he was in jail in birmingham, he wrote this. He said, there are people more devoted to order than injustice who prefer a negative piece, which is the absence of tension, to a positive peace, which is the presence of justice. Its like, so the players arent kneeling, weak win. Boy, i think that is tonedeaf. Have we not had a discussion about Police Brutality . This is what originally the whole protest movement was about . We have. Its interesting, talking to governor huckabee last night, hes signed on with this group of conservatives who are for terminal justice reform. There is a bipartisan effort that could actually get done, to a directives attorney general to say lets work on this, get this done. If i think the country saw there was policy movement in washington, d. C. , on this and it was bipartisan, which people have said they wanted, everybody could get back to watching football. Greg, what do you think . I think this is something that got out of hand. Its like when i try to fix a stain on my shirt, you just keep rubbing it and rubbing it and thats what happens. This thing was something that everyone everyone had to start rubbing i will fix it, i will help it, the stain got bigger and bigger and bigger i hate when that happens. People who engage in this type of protest who introduced politics into sports gets upset when other people get upset. Thats the risk. If people did not get angry, then youre protests had no risks, that means nothing. Everybody got something out of this. I mean, the protesters can say, hey, we raised awareness, even though we are probably incorrect on the statistics. If you took the time and read the statistics about Police Brutality, and you might come away changing her mind. But we want to get into that here because that takes a lot of time and its far more, you know, the medicaments into mental, emotional, to take a stand in front of people and introducing into a public event. But the problem is people get mad. You have to accept that. Thats the risk you took. A lot of people didnt get mad. Next, how the far left saying President Trump is now hurting children. A wild story ahead. Morning on the beach was so peaceful. Until. It. Wasnt. Dont let type 2 diabetes get between you and your heart.

Go irish see that . Yes im gonna just go back to doing what i was doing. Find your awesome with the xfinity x1 voice remote. We all love dr. Seuss. Who didnt grow up reading one of his books like cat in the hat, green eggs and ham. Melania trump sent books to each state. She had a surprising letter from a liberal who refused to accept the gift. The woman criticized the trump and ministrations calling the illustrations, steeped in racist propaganda. Interestingly, this same librarian wasnt opposed to the beloved childrens author way back in 2015, two long years ago, when she was dressed as a dr. Seuss character. Hmm. No, you cant make it up. There it is right there. What do you make of this . Obviously i feel like she was trying to get attention. And then people like this librarian seemed to hate the right to so much or hate fox news and they make it so easy for us to say how ridiculous you are. First of all, yes, dr. Seuss, everyone pretty much agrees, first ladies are off limits when you are giving away books. Accept the book and move on. I think shes making a fixed point here. Fake outrage about dr. Seuss, clearly she was digging it. Who else would dress up like that . Thats one costume i dont have. Is he a doctor, for real . I never looked if he was a real doctor. There is a historian, rachel maddow, is dr. Seuss an actual doctor . Do you remember when librarians werent selfrighteous leftwing jackasses . They were little old ladies, but they were very stern. Laura bush was a librarian. All they would do is shush you. By the way, the library is the only place where the first member doesnt apply. You actually cannot speak. The liberals have to start looking at their party or their group, their ideology because now its all nuts in the new get all nuts and no nougat. Lets not forget who read the cat and i had to to children. It was Michelle Obama and she read this and it was no problem, but now it is a problem . I dont know. Ted cruz on the senate for. Michelle obama said hes a better comparison. [laughter] bipartisan love. I actually had a thought. Sound to the tape to your people at home. Control room, can you make greg happy . We dont want any more acclimation point what a freak. [laughter] lets go to jesse. Too soon. They should do the cat in the make America Great again in the hat. What are the racial overtones of green eggs and ham . How is that racial propaganda . Green . Juan, do you have any ideas . You cant make this stuff up. That is high. Do you want me to explain to you. Just so the audience understands because greg said everybody on the left is pulling a new its too easy to slam back whats going on at the right at the moment. But let me just say to honestly answer your question, she things that the cat in the hat is like a minstrel and its based on white people performing in black face is what she said. Why didnt she bring it up when Michelle Obama redneck it. No. The whole behavior. You are just going to have to use your imagination. I loved the book, read it to my children, read it to my grandchildren. In fact, my grandchildren like tom and jerry, and their dad, who is white, has told me, you know, they get a warning now on tom and jerry because its too violent . They are a couple . Whats wrong with you . Im fishing here what am i doing on the show . Why are they upset with tom and jerry . Its violent and also racial stuff. You know, i was a big fan of little rascals. You talk about racial stuff . Little rascals has racial stuff. In case you throw away your iphone and calendar and you were, what day of the week is it, its friday on the five. Its crazy town. I dont even know. Let must be serious. I just told you. I dont have problem with that, but i was trying to respond to jesse in an honest way about the substance. How did that work out . Im just saying. This is what the woman thinks. You can dismiss her or you can say, what are you talking about . I dont think thats what its about. I dont think its about the actual book at all. I thought the fact that dr. Seuss had done some editorial cartooning about the japanese in world war ii that was considered racist propaganda. Am i wrong . Not what she said. She said the book should have been sent to a poor school rather to her school. Because Melania Trump gave the book. Not because there is racial overtones. That was a ruse. Oh, okay. I just want to give people can we get the picture of the librarian in the outfit . So this shes dressed. Why which addresses that russian mark wait a second. Did you hear the whole opening of this segment . Let me just say. President obama gave i hate to say this in front of greg, but gave dr. Ted seuss gazelle a president ial award for having written the cat in the hat. I think we need to leave it there. Are there any books besides cat in the hat and green eggs and ham . Horton hears a who. Lets keep going . On a serious note, my hometown, puerto rico completely devastated. The situation there and could get much worse. Next, we are going to hear from President Trump on his strategy to give aid to a struggling audience struggling island. Every six months im accidentfree. And i dont share it with mom. Right, mom . Right. Safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. Switching to allstate is worth it. Only from allstate. Briathe customer app willw if be live monday. Can we at least analyze customer traffic . Can we push the offer online . Brian, i just had a quick question. Brian . Brian. Legacy technology can handcuff any company. But yes is here. Youre saying the new app will go live monday . yeah. With help from hpe, we can finally work the way we want to. With the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes. So the situation in puerto rico is growing tired. 12 days after a direct hit by hurricane maria. The president addressed the crisis earlier today. We have to rebuild. Again, if you look at it, the electric is gone, the road is gone, if telecommunications is gone. Its all gone. The real question is whats going to happen later. Its a tough situation. Puerto rico was flattened. And a big decision comes to what we are going to do. But i am there to help. Kimberly, President Trump is going to go there on tuesday. In the meantime, he has appointed a three star general, general buchanan, who was to go down there and assess the situation so they can figure out what kind of aid they need. If they have water needs, medical needs, food needs. They also need a way to get all the aid they are to the people, because the dams are breaking come of roads are washed out. Its really a dire situation. Im really happy the president is going on tuesday. Its the right move. It will mean a lot to the people of puerto rico that they are not forgotten. Despite the fact there are so many natural disasters and strategies that have been occurring lately in the united states, always the first to lend a helping hand. Its important we take care of our own here as well. Like you mentioned, dana, a huge problem in terms of a lack of inner infrastructure set up to hand these things out, to disseminate the information supplies, materials, roads, materials, proper transportation. And the medical situation like ive been talking about with the chief of our medical team dr. Manny alvarez who was one of the first to go down there to offer help and assistance for the medical crisis. We know chemotherapy brought out by the singer pit bull so they can continue their treatment. Can you imagine that that they evacuate people that they can get their treatment. Thats how much real need, substantive need there is in puerto rico. Something that is not going to be fixed very quickly. I think its very important, its going to require a military operation. Hes already said they are going to need more military personnel and in fact, jesse, new york state and new jersey, both governors are sending National Guard trying to help as well. Thats great. Its always the military that comes in during these crises because they are the best equipped institutions to handle Something Like this. No one can deal with the logistics of
