STEVE: WELCOME BACK ABRAHAM
LINCOLN SAID IT BEST IN THE
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS SPEAKING
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT OF THE
PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR
THE PEOPLE THAT IS WHAT
POSITIVE POPULISM IS ALL ABOUT
BUT DOES PRESIDENT TRUMP HAVE
ENOUGH PEOPLE AROUND HIM TO
UNDERSTAND THAT MESSAGE AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY KNOW HOW TO
IMPLEMENT IT?
WHAT ABOUT THE NEW SENATE, THE
NEW HOUSE, THE WHITE HOUSE?
HERE TO BREAK IT DOWN OUR FOX
AND FRIENDS COHOST AND BRIAN
KILL NEED.
SO BRIAN NEEDS A MOMENT TO
MAKE THE OBLIGATORY JOKE WHY
I'M NOT WEARING A TIE SO LET'S
GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY.
>> SO TO SEE YOU IN PERSON YOU
HAVE THE MOST UNIQUE LOOK ON
THE CHANNEL I CANNOT GET
ENOUGH OF YOU.
>> I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY
BEAUTIFUL MOMENT.
>> SO ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE
BEEN INTERESTED IN WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POPULISM IN
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF
2016 TO THE BLUE-COLLAR
WORKERS?
AND TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVES
OR THE G.O.P. AGENDA?
WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IS THE
PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH
ALLIES.
SO NOW AFTER THE MIDTERMS DO
YOU THINK THERE ARE MORE
ALLIES?
.
>> POTENTIALLY.
HE DEFINITELY WENT TO BAT FOR
SOME OF THOSE INCOMING
SENATORS ADVOCATING AND ASKING
FOR THE PEOPLE TO REJECT
CLAIRE MCCASKILL BUT IT IS AN
INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE I
GO TO THAT ANONYMOUS "NEW YORK
TIMES" OP-ED I REMEMBER
EVERYBODY'S REACTION WAS HE IS
DOING THE PEOPLE'S WORK BUT
THEY AREN'T BECAUSE THE PEOPLE
ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE
THE PRESIDENT'S POLICIES MOVE
FORWARD AND HE RUNS THE WHITE
HOUSE ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS SO
I FOUND THAT OP-ED TO BE
OFFENSIVE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE
SURROUNDING THE PRESIDENT OR
IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS THAT
DON'T SHARE THE VIEWPOINTS.
>> WHEN YOU TRY TO GET
YOURSELF ELECTED TO THE PEOPLE
OF MICHIGAN THIS IS WHAT I
OFFER IF I HAVE TO GET STEVE
HILTON ELECTED IN MICHIGAN YOU
MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME MAYBE
YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT SO WHEN
PEOPLE SAY HE LOST FIVE SEATS
IN TEXAS BUT THE PRESIDENT
WENT TO BAT FOR YOU BUT THEY
ARE STILL VOTING FOR THE
CANDIDATE AS A PERSON I THINK
IT'S MORE INSTINCT.
PEOPLE SAY HE WAS A DEMOCRAT
THAT HE IS DOING THINGS THAT
HE BELIEVES IN OTHERS ARE
GOING BY DOCTRINE.
HE SAID I BELIEVE THIS SO COME
ABOARD AND FOLLOW ME IF YOU
CANNOT LET ME KNOW OTHERS SAY
I WILL FOLLOW YOU AND THEY
SAID WILL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO
THEY SAY I DON'T GET THIS GUY.
I WILL STUDY THE SHIP A LOT OF
COMPETENT PEOPLE THAT DID NOT
UNDERSTAND AT THIS POINT HE IS
CLOSER TO FINISHING OFF HIS
STAFF.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE FUNERAL.
THAT IS IT HELPING ANYBODY TO
SAY YOUR INSTINCTS ARE ALWAYS
RIGHT YOU ARE 100 PERCENT
RIGHT WE CANNOT GET HIM OFF
TWITTER.
>> FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO LOOK
DOWN THERE NOSE I THINK THERE
HAS BEEN TOO MUCH OF THAT BUT
BUT TO ECHO THE POPULISM OF
THE PAST ARE THERE ANY
PARALLELS?
.
>> THEY SAY HE'S NOT WORTHY HE
IS BULGARIAN BUT THAT MESSAGE
TO THE PEOPLE HE WAS THE FIRST
TO CAMPAIGN AND HE DID SUCH A
GROUNDSWELL SUPPORT THEY COULD
NOT STOP HIM AND WHEN HE
BECAME PRESIDENT A LOT OF
PEOPLE WENT TO THE HILL SO HE
HIRED HIS FAMILY.
DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
HE SAID YES ANY PEOPLE I TRUST
SO GIVE JARED A BIGGER ROLE
AND GET SOMEBODY IN THERE WHO
KNOWS HOW IT STARTED AND I
KNOW HOW TO FINISH IT AND THEY
KNOW POLITICS THEY ARE GREAT
BUT THEY ARE NOT POLITICIAN
THE CHIEF OF STAFF NEEDS A
POLITICIAN AS MUCH AS I AGREE
WITH YOU BUT NOT NOW NOT IN
THE THIRD YEAR.
NOT NOW YOU HAVE AN ELECTION
OR THIS IS THE YEAR WE
COMPROMISE NEXT YEAR WE CAN
GENERAL KELLY DOESN'T HAVE
THAT SENSIBILITY BECAUSE HE IS
GET IT DONE I DON'T CARE ABOUT
POLITICS.
>> I REALLY AGREE WITH THAT
BUT STAYING ON THE SENATE
INCOMING ON THE G.O.P. SIDE
THEY ARE MUCH MORE IN
ALIGNMENT WITH THE PRESIDENT
TRUMP MESSAGE LIKE THE PEOPLE
THAT THEY REPLACE LIKE JEFF
FLAKE.
>> YES BUT HE WILL ALSO HAVE
OTHER DETRACTORS LIKE SENATOR
ELECT MITT ROMNEY'S JOINING
WITH SENATOR COLLINS OR
SENATOR MCCLOSKEY ON - -
MURKOWSKI SO HE WILL ALWAYS
HAVE THAT BUT THE BEST THING
PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN DO TO WIN
OVER THESE DETRACTORS IS
FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THOSE
PROMISES THAT HE MADE A LOT OF
CONSERVATIVES WERE SO
SKEPTICAL OF THE CANDIDATE
MAKING A LOT OF THESE PROMISES
MEAN HE IS CONSISTENTLY HAS
FOLLOW-THROUGH.
>> BUT I WANT TO SEE
COMPROMISE HE CAN GET
EVERYTHING HE WANTS HE WILL
HAVE TO COMPROMISE.
THE FIRST TIME THE DEAL COMES
THROUGH WITH CHAIN MIGRATION
AND NOW DOCTOR HAS A TEN YEAR
PASS.
I HAVE ONLY 52 STATES ONE - -
SEATS WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?
THAT HE DOES CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORM.
WE COULD TURN DOWN THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE COUNTRY
INSTEAD OF YOU ONE I LOST HER
I LOST IT AND YOU ONE WE GOT
SOME OF WHAT I WANT I CAN GO
BACK TO GET SOME MORE OF THAT.
>> I LOVE THE WAY THAT YOU PUT
THAT AND THAT IS IN LINE WITH
WHAT WE SAW IN THE PRESS
CONFERENCE RIGHT AFTER THE
ELECTION THAT WAS THE LANGUAGE
HE WAS TALKING.
WE ARE OUT OF TIME THERE.
