This much anticipated hearing on capitol hill today on russian interference set to testify the former acteding attorney general sally yates was fired by President Trump. Peter alex ander ander is at th house. Good morning. The Trump Administration is facing unresolved questions with former acting attorney general sally yates expected to open up about what she told white house officials regarding contacts between then National Security adviser and the russian ambassador. Sharing her story for the first time publicly sally yates fired less than two weeks after she took office for refusing to enforce the controversial travel ban. Today yates is expected to testify about concerning them National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Sources familiar with her plan say she discuss alerting white house aids flynn was potentially compromised after about his contacts with russian ambassador. While one republican official familiar with the white houses thinking tells nbc news they will argument yates is poll lit si with an impeccable reputation. She is very widely respected and she apparently has some information as to who knew what when. President trump dismissing the Russian Investigation questioning when will the fake media talk about the democrats dealings with russia. Even democrats arent disputing the facts. Our politics remains filled with division and discord and at such moments courage is necessary. It comes as president obama is speaking out while accepting the john f. Kennedy annual profile and courage award praising lawmakers who voted for signature adhoo achievement. Because of that vote 20 Million People got Health Insurance who didnt have it before. Most of them did lose their seat ts. As house represeublicans are geg an earful labrador is under fire thr this claim. Nobody dies because they done have access to health care. They expect them to do that and twhas we are doing. We are keeping our word. The bill now in the hands of the senate with the president keeping the pressure on vowing republican senators will not let the American People down. And new this morning, just hours before yates testifies the president zeroing in on her, attacking her integrity, questioning whether she may have been behind leaks in the flynn case. All right. Thank you is much. Lets go to jeremy bash who is a National Security analyst. Good morning to you. Good morning, guys. The question is did Michael Flynn have some kind of inappropriate discussion with the russian ambassador. Sally yates is a big piece of the buzz l. She is. She rose to become the attorney general of the united states. She went to the white house on january 26th and said we are investigating this matter. We have interviewed mike flynn. He lied to us. He lied to you. Instead of firing mike flynn the white house fired sally yates and then fired her in connection with the travel ban but nevertheless she was let go. Yes. Was general flynn acting on his own or acting on behalf of someone else . She is presumably seeing these. It depends what the white house told her. The question is was mike flynn freelancing or did he have connection from possibly the president elect and the president to do this deal, if you will, with the russians to say we are going to give you a pass for your interference in the 2016 election. It really goes to a larger question, which is what leverage did russia have over u. S. Foreign policy Decision Making in the early days of the Trump Administration and what leverage does russia have to this day . And what leverage does russia believe it has . They say look, this is a person who is poll lit siiticized. She has got an ax to grind. I dont think thats the case at auchll. She is very credible. She spent her entire career as a public servant. She was doing her job when she said hey, look, we have a situation that needs to be addressed. They kept him in position for 17 days. Thank you.

His crew joke acaught the attention of the federal communication and hes not the only late night host under fire. Stephanie gosk is here with more on that story. Good to see you. The problem is theyre not going away after a number of complaints. The fcc now says its going to investigate and their response will depend on whether or not they deem his remarks to be obscene. One of President Trumps harshest critics is in hot water this morning. Now, under investigation by the fcc for possibly being indecent or obscene after delivering this scathing offcolor joke about the president. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. The only thing after an instant online backlash the joke caught the attention of the federal Communication Commission and its chairman. I have had a chance to see the clip now and, so, as we get complaints and we have gotten a number of them, we are going to take the facts that we find and we are going to apply the law as it has been set out by the Supreme Court and other courts and well take the appropriate action. Reporter appropriate action could mean a fine. While thats not unprecedented, in recent years it has become uncommon. One highprofile indecency case Janet Jacksons wardrobe malfunction in 2004. The fcc initially levied a 550,000 fine against cbs for that incident. But the fine was later struck down in court. Sign language reporter when the Network First aired colberts joke his mouth was blurred and the offending word bleeped out. Am i still the host . Im still the host reporter colbert acknowledged his language was harsh, but hes not apologizing. One of colberts guests actor jim parsons laughed it off. You taught me new terms. As a gay man, i didnt know certain things that you thats i wouldnt call it home phobic. Reporter not the only late night host taking fire. Bill mahr is also facing criticism for a crude joke about ivanka trump. What do you make of ivanka . Reporter implying a online critics pounced. I cant believe bill mahr just did that. Another slammed the host for poor taste. On set on friday was gabe sherman. I felt uncomfortable being on set. I didnt know where the segment was going and he is a comedian and really being provocative and thats part of his brand. The show airs on hbo which is outside of the fcc jurisdiction for regulating indecency. As for colbert he may come out of this unscathed. His comments aired at 11 30. Within the fcc longestablished safe harbor time between 10 00 p. M. And 6 00 a. M. When the commission does not regulate indecent material. Cbs declined our request for comment. The fcc tells nbc news the fact that a complaint is reviewed doesnt speak one way or another as to whether it has any merit. All right. Stef, thank you.

I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. It shouldnt be whateverfleas and ticks. Home. No, no no no no.

And for the first time, the actiact ing categories were not broken down by gender. And emma watson took home best actor as her role in belle. This acting award in history, that doesnt separate nominees based on therapy sex, says something about how we about how we perceive the human experience. Mtvs move to create a genderless award for acting will mean Something Different to everyone. But to me, it indicates that acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone elses shoes. And that doesnt need to be separated into two different categories. Wow. Drop the mic. Thats a compelling im all for that. Thats great. It brings up the discussion. Should they be genderneutral . What do you think . If im being totally honest. Yes. I like the different categories. I like actresses plays against actresses and actors playing against actors. Because they have different roles . They have different roles. Im different than a man. And im proud to be different than a man. Im proud to be a woman. I want to compete against other women. Thats just how i feel. I see both sides. I do, too. I dont see anything wrong. I would be curious to hear how other actors feel about it. Right now, the roles are so different. I was trying to think best new artist on the grammys. Thats just an artist. They dont say female, do they . Your art is your art. With acting, its a skill set. With a sport, would it be because of the strength thats its different . Im torn over it. If i were an actor, i would like to compete against half the other race. Make it easier to win . Yes. The other gender. The other half of everybody.

You pour these back in. And put that back in there. And thats the wine. All of this . What is that . Like a dry sherry. For those who dont know what it is. You can water it down.
