Shes also taking ibrance charlie cook, and Steve Kornacki which is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr her2 metastatic Breast Cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. Ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at the big board. At delaying disease progression versus letrozole. A lot of obama officials, Party Officials youve been talking patients taking ibrance can develop to, very surprised at the low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections strategy of the democrats. That can lead to death. Before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, not only firing squad, but a chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are pregnant, breastfeeding, firing squad that hit the most or plan to become pregnant.

Corey calls it her new normal because a lot has changed, this is multiple conversations but a lot hasnt. With former obama officials is ask your doctor about ibrance. This strategy is not smart, its the 1 prescribed fdaapproved not a longterm strategy. Oral Combination Treatment for hr her2 mbc. They ultimately once there is a nominee, to try to the white dprevagen is the number onemild memopharmacistrecommendedng . Oral Combination Treatment house. Basically this boils down to memory support brand. Some candidates who are trying to have a standout moment on the you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. Debate stage to see their poll prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Numbers rise who are really announcer Important Message for women and men ages 50 to 85. Struggling. Those are two examples we saw right now, in areas like yours, people have already called about Life Insurance attack the obama ledgacy. Through the Colonial Penn program and received their free beneficiary planner. They say this is an attempt to try to court those voters who have you received your free planner . Are further to the left. They dont think theyre going if not, i encourage you to pick up the phone to win over the biden voters, and take advantage of this free offer. For example, the more moderate in addition to your free beneficiary planner, democrats. They think its a play, a desperate play they would say youll also receive free information for some of those voters. On affordable whole Life Insurance and they say its just not a that has a lifetime rate lock that guarantees longterm strategy. There have been calls and texts your rate can never increase for any reason. In obama world as they try to figure out whats going on. If you did not receive your free beneficiary planner, the broad message is knock it off. Knock it off, indeed. Call this number now. Just to make the point, the please stand by to learn more. President in his cincinnati im alex trebek, here to tell you about rally last night already taking a popular Life Insurance plan with a rate lock advantage of it and joe biden had reacted earlier. That locks in your rate for life so it can never increase. The democrats spent more time did you get your free information kit . If not, please call this number now. Attacking barack obama than they did attacking me practically. This affordable plan through the Colonial Penn program has Coverage Options for just 9. 95 a month. I was a little surprised at how much incoming there was your rate is locked in and can never go up, about barrack, about the president. Charlie cook, does this and your acceptance is guaranteed strategy make any sense maybe with no health questions. See how much coverage you can get for just 9. 95 a month. It makes since to get to the call now for your free information kit. Next debate round. But how does this work . Well, i think that this is what youre going to hear soon is why do these candidates want to repeal and replace obamacare, which is what republicans were trying to do for a long time . I dont think its a strategy thats a smart strategy. I think what youre seeing is a division created where if you family is all togetherect. Take the Bernie Sanders, and we switched to geico; Elizabeth Warren, and even toss saved money on our boat insurance. In kamala harris, thats about how could it get any better than this . Dad, i just caught a goldfish 42 on the democratic side. But theres 58 thats not theres no goldfish in this lake. There. And thats where you saw some of the moderates, the and those whoa its pure gold. Were gonna be rich. Guys were attacking from the were gonna be rich middle and biden is defending the legacy. It only gets better when you switch and save with geico. I dont think its a smart strategy. I dont think that this race that changed at all from the last two debates. I think joe biden is still very much the front runner. In hiyannis another tragedy go to Steve Kornacki at the big board. Theres one poll thats interesting. Its a quick poll, but if it is as Ethel Kennedy mourns the the case that joe biden is still death of her granddaughter, possibly from a Drug Overdose ahead, is he a soft front according to the new york runner . Perhaps the numbers exceed the times. The young member of the kenne confidence in his staying power . Yeah, i mean, its the kennedyfulkennedy family was found dead. Instant readout. A statement said in part, the world is a little less beautiful 2 margin of error, yeah, you today. Local authorities in massachusetts are investigating the death. See here their poll here conducted entirely after both nbcs Anne Thompson joins us rounds of the second debate shows no Real Movement here. With more on her very brief life biden is still out in front. Obviously the big question and sudden death. Everybody is asking as weve seen all sorts of different reporter andrea, p matchups. You saw harris take her shot at biden, you saw cory booker do are just really very, very shocked and sad for the kennedy that. You havent seen joe biden versus Elizabeth Warren. Certainly a possibility. You mentioned this, andrea, of family over saoirse kennedys that debate qualifying criteria changing for the next round. Death. Especially for Ethel Kennedy who you got to get 2 support in saw her husband assassinated. She loss two children. And now her grandchild. Four polls. There are 25 candidates and some of them didnt make this round saoirse, 22 years old was to be of debates. A senior at boston college. Of those 25, there are eight right now who are actually hitting that criteria. She was studying communications and she was said to be an there are basically two more who engaged and inquisitive student and certainly we saw that in a are on the cusp of meeting the piece that she wrote for her High School Newspaper about her criteria. Thats ten. Own struggles with depression. One debate stage. Everybody else you dont see talking about how when she lighted up here is in grave danger of not making the next realized she had depression in middle school and it really debate. Theyve got to get a whole bunch blossomed if you will in high of polls where theyre suddenly school it felt like a heavy popping. Some of these candidates havent done that at all l. We may. Bolder on her chest. She talked about a trauma shat she went through when somebody she loved crossed sexual we may be down there one debate boundaries as she said. Stage starting in the middle of and she did what many victims september. That of course would be the do, pretended it didnt happen. First time that joe biden and that made her so upset she Elizabeth Warren would have to face off against each other. Ultimately tried to take her own life. She said in that article in the youve been in ohio talking to High School Newspaper that what voters. Thats one of the states that she wanted was people to feel joe biden said im going to win. If im the nominee i can win free to talk about Mental Health issues the same way that people talk about cancer, to not be michigan, pennsylvania ohio. Afraid of the subject. And as she lived, her family these are critical states democrats and republicans are looking at. Says that she was a very the thing ive heard from dedicated advocate for human rights issues, for womens democratic voters that theyre hoping this large field gets they can start making some real empowerment. She loved volunteer work. Decisions. There are people who like she built schools down in multiple candidates and they want to see them on the stage mexico. And in fact, in a statement that another. Watching the last two debates i they released yesterday, the family said our hearts are kept thinking is i want to see shattered by the loss of our how Bernie Sanders and elizabeth barren do next to joe biden and beloved saoirse. Her life was filled with hope, senator harris and senator promise and love, a life that booker. Its interesting to see the ended much too soon. Anne thompson, as you know better than anyone being up there, the tragedy of being candidates go after Barack Obamas record. They were doing it on trade, immigration. And these are areas where there and our condolences to President Trump has been talking about these are some of the core areas that helped him win the presidency in 2016. So i think for a lot of democrats, very frustrating to ethel and the rest of the hear republican talking points, family. Thank you, anne. Thank you so much. Coming up, background check. Frankly, coming from a lot of new concerns that Donald Trumps pick to be the next spy chief democratic contenders. Thats not to say thats drastically embellished parts of condescending. But to say decriminalizing the his biography to get the job. Stay with us here on andrea border, some see that as open mitchell reports on msnbc. Hera mitchell reports on msnbc borders and thats what the democrats were saying. On healthcare, the democrats were saying that President Trump has said in rallies and thats exciting to his base. And the president last night continuing in ohio to attack baltimore. Lets listen to part of that from that rally in cincinnati. Its been total one party in big ways and in small, bank of america is here to help you get things done. Control of the inner cities for 100 years its been one party what would you like the power to do . ® control. Look at them. Done we can name one after another, what would you like the power to do . ® but i wont do that. Because i dont want to be controversial. The homicide rate in baltimore applebees all you can eat is back. Is significantly higher than el now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. Salvador, honduras, guatemala. I believe its higher than give me a place that you think is pretty bad . So the president also tweeting today, you know, that its really bad news sarcastically if you could take the impact from twitter about the fact that Elijah Cummings apparently his house was burgled. He was robbed or an attempted robbery before the whole controversy. I guess a week ago saturday. But not only that, but now nikki haley, interestingly, is tweeting that this is so unnecessary. Taking a shot at President Trump. Really i think one of the first times youve seen her do that since leaving office. I thought that was pretty astonishing. It happened moments ago. This president is doing what we saw him do as a candidate. Hes entering the culture wars. Hes digging in and getting criticized for what a lot of people are saying, look, these remarks have racial overtones at best or in some cases actually racist according to those who are criticizing him. I can tell you ive been talking to some of his advisors who say there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of strategy this time around. Theres some concern. What is the broader goal here . In 2016, he was talking about immigration. He was talking about the border. In this instance, some close to him have said it seems like hes just lashing out. So theyre not clear on the fact this is going to work. Its a risky strategy. And i wanted today share with you, also, nancy pelosi and ihlan omar in ghana at the place of no return, really. I mean, these pictures emphasizing this support against dprevagen is the number onemild memopharmacistrecommendedng . The president. Dramatic pictures in ghana. Memory support brand. The Congressional Black Caucus you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. Yesterday. This is a pretty strong statement of where nancy pelosi prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Stands. Its an incredibly strong statement. She literally could not make a if you have moderate Little Things can be a big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Stronger show of support for ihlan omar. Otezla is not a cream. Yet last night President Trump its a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. Took aim at them. I noted he didnt spend as much with otezla, 75 clearer skin is achievable. Time talking about the socalled squad as he did during some of dont use if youre allergic to otezla. The debates ive attended. It may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, i think that was an attempt to or vomiting. Make sure the crowd there didnt otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. Start that chant send her back tell your doctor if you have a history of depression and they didnt. Bu or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. Some people taking otezla reported weight loss. Stand in the corner of these your doctor should monitor your weight four freshman congresswomen. And may stop treatment. President trump is trying to use upper respiratory tract infection and headache them to effectively paint the may occur. Entire democratictoee over and tell your doctor about your medicines, and if youre pregnant or planning to be. Otezla. Show more of you. Andrea. Its something he talked about. He used that word repeatedly last night in ohio. You see this and the debates, and what theyve been saying on the debates to appeal to the liberal base about open borders and what you here from Julian Castro and some of the other candidates. Certainly from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Where do you think the Democratic Party is positioning itself coming out of these primaries . Well, i think what biden is doing is trying to keep one eye congressman radcliffe is an on the democratic primary electorate and stay on top of outstanding man. That field and one eye towards the general election. Highly respected by everybody that knows him. Just about all these other not exactly. Candidates are either, a, President Trump thursday defending his nominee to head focusing on the Democratic Base the nations intelligence or, b, some of the centrists are agencies. Focusing only on swing voters but hes facing increasing scrutiny on the hill over his and biden is trying to kind of qualifications. Several apparent embellishments keep ahead of all of those. To his resume. One of the people that are the Washington Post reported missing is we had an election that Court Documents contradict with 137 Million People vote in his claims that he arrested 300 2016. It was determined by 78,000 undocumented immigrants in a votes. One of the factors that made a single day as a federal difference in that election was prosecutor. Following nbcs reporting that he had never put away terrorists that africanamerican turnout that had gone up under with as a u. S. Attorney in texas. Despite claims on his website. Obamas two elections went down joining me now is nbcs ken in this past election. So you had turnout in detroit delainian who broke a lot of the you know, you had soft story on ratcliffe himself. Africanamerican turnout in detroit, soft africanamerican turnout and milwaukee. Places like this made the he was a u. S. Attorney for a difference this election. Year, and he was a mayor of a and what the president s feeding very small town that included into is fuelling the africanamerican vote to perhaps turn out at a higher level than they did in 2016. Resort type communities. When i got involved in politics 7,000 a population of 7,000. In 1972, one of the first things the mayor was an unpaid position i learned was that politics is for seven years, including the about addition, not subtraction. Time he was the u. S. Attorney. Never confirmed by the senate. Thats why this is a head theres really nothing in his scratching strategy for the background that prepares him for president. I guess you could call it new the director of national intelligence. Math. Thank you very much, charlie more important than that, you know were talking to the same cook. For all of your help here today, people. No one seems to know this guy. Intelligence officials, even thanks to all. And of course kristen welker, senators had not met him. Youll see her again sitting in the Washington Post is reporting something i find very interesting. Hes been on the the intelligence committee. For chuck todd for meet the house intelligence. But he has not gone on the bre press daily. Many trips that they take in breaking news out of new york city. Moments ago an administrative many cases to very rough parts judge recommending the police of the world. They learn about the world. Officer responsible for the choke hold death of eric garner he has not gone on very many of five years ago be fired. Them according to the Washington Post which suggests the ruling against the officer an curiosity about the very has been demanded by protesters thing hes charged would and the garner family, including from the audience of wednesday overseeing. I believe hes only how nights democratic debate when long has he been on house protesters spoke out. Intelligence . A few months. Nbcs rehema ellis is at the he replaced trey gowdy i National Action network in believe. This is a job by statute harlem. This is a very big deal. Thats supposed to be filled by the pressure will be on Police Commissioner oneil and most someone with deep intelligence importantly on a president ial or military experience. It says it in the law, candidate, new york city mayor significant intelligence bill de blasio. Experience. I talked to experts who question whether that can be enforced. Youve got to imagine its going to be an issue in these rehema . Reporter sorry, i couldnt confirmation hearings, that plus hear you. The embellishments as you can you hear me now. Yes, we can. Reporter can you hear me . Discussed. He said he put terrorists in prison. We have shown that never happened. If you can update us on what he never prosecuted adterrorism happened next. Case. Reporter whats happening now hes saying he put 300 next is that we just heard from Illegal Immigrants behind bars, the family of eric garner just a it doesnt hold up. Rod rosenstein, who has left short while ago up here in the justice department, but was harlem at the National Action network, which is headed by reverend al al sharpton. A career loyalist has come to the defense of sue gordon, the Principle Deputy there. Already youve had the senate let me play for you what the intelligence chair, a statement family of eric garner had to saying that theyre going to say. This has been a long battle, deal with sue gordon which contradicts the president saying im going to name someone as if i ever yea acting. Exactly. When the president said that, he five years too long. Finally there is information that this cop has done something suggested that sue gordon long. Wouldnt be the acing even we waited five years. Ccrb has made the though the law says the recommendation. Commissioner oneil, fire him. Principle deputy will be the thats we asking. Reporter the family is acting. She has long experience, much asking for the Police Commissioner to follow through beloved on the hill and across the country. And to fire officer panteleo. Apparently not by donald trump because he seems to be trying to freeze her out. The senate is rebelling. Theres something called a civil if you have that statement from rod rosenstein, can we have that Complaint Review board. Up there, please . They have to now take a look at i wanted to read all of what he this, along with the attorneys. But the civil Complaint Review said. Board is not waiting for two weeks which they have before and its that deputy dni sue they make a recommendation to gordon is a proven patriot who the Police Commissioner. They came out a little while ago saying the evidence is more than understands foreign threats, respects the and protects sufficient that hes unfit to america 24 7, daughter of a navy serve on the new York City Police department. He has been on desk duty for vice admiral, gordon is a great five years since this all real donald trump appointee. Happened. And now according to the police senator burr, Lindsey Graham are department, they have to give him due process of the two weeks also copied and tagged there. Before the commissioner will she certainly is and certain make his recommendation, which a person who can talk to silicon will be more than a recommendation, actually. Hes the one who has the final valley which is important in that job. Decision about whether or not he most of the intelligence needs will indeed be fired. Reside somewhere else in the andrea . Thank you so much. Business community. Nbcs rehema ellis, thank you on theyre constantly having pilgrimage talk to ceos and she has shown herself able to do th breaking news.

Its the fourth launch since may. President trump told nbcs Hallie Jackson on thursday that these launches will not impact u. S. Negotiations with north faith leaders from washington National Cathedral are taking a highly unusual korea. Oh, sure. Step. Theyre condemning what they sure. Because these are short range call President Trumps missiles. We never discussed that. We discussed nuclear. Racialized rhetoric. What we talked about is nuclear. The epafter two years of presidt those are short ranged missiles. A lot of other countries test trumps words and actions, when that missile office. A little fact check is in order here. The test is a violation of u. N. Will americans have enough . Make no mistake about it, words matter and mr. Trumps words are Security Council resolutions. It comes as the u. S. Plans to dangerous, they write. As leaders of faith who believe resume military exercises with in the sacredness of every south korea, clearly upsetting single human being, the time for silence is over. Kim jongun. Joining me now is john joining me now are reverend mclaughlin. The other point here is they may Kelly Brown Douglas of not be, quote, nuclear, but washington National Cathedral these missiles are capable of and reverend the bishop of, carrying a nuclear warhead. Every test enhances the norths understanding of its technologies. They test for a reason. First to you, why did you feel not just to, you know, ping us you wanted to speak out now . Well, as our statement says but to improve their own knowledge. Quite directly, we have felt and thats exactly right, andrea. The South Koreans say this missile resembled the russian observed as every american has missile, which is nuclear capable. If youre one of our allies in this almost normalcy of the area, you dont dismiss it political speech that has become increasingly hostile, sometimes as inconsequential. Theyre exposed today a conventional and nuclear threat. Slanderous and in our experience its another way of the north putting pressure on us via our racialized coming from the highest office in the land. Allies to get moving with and we felt this time that the negotiations on their terms. On their terms. President had really crossed a more concessions out of us. Threshold and while the response we could not be more overeager. From the political spectrum was the president goes the end of predictable and lining up who may to the dmz, virtually was saying what that it was time for us as faith leaders to embracing kim jongun. Remind the American People that this is what i talked to bob this need not be our normal and, gates, one of your predsaysers in fact, the language that we at the cia and twice at the are hearing from the president pentagon. This is what he had to say about is unworthy of him as holding this policy of i like him, he likes me. The highest aufoffice in the la and representing all americans. Embracing dictators. Was it bishop budde, was it lets watch. Im as much of a realist as the send them back, that whole anybody. And the reality is, the united rhetoric, is that what really states has done business with some of historys greatest crossed the line . Well, that was definitely a monsters. But franklin d. Roosevelt never threshold, as well. When you weve become pretended to be in love with accustomed to attacks that are personal against political josef stalin. Adversaries, but send them back in the real world we have to deal with these people. And go back to your country we dont have to embrace them. Among the four representatives that he was attacking. He seems to be casting on entire i would be the first to acknowledge its better to talk nations and then the final straw being for us when he did the than to talk about fire and fury. You dont have to go overboard same thing in response to delivering mementoes, souvenirs representative cummings casting from their meeting of the dmz last week to a north korean official. Im just reading now a horr horrific on the city of baltimore and using language biography of fdrs last two that likened the citizens of that city to rodent infestations years in office. Where no human being would be he manipulated stalin brilliantly as ill as he was. Fit to live. As ill as he was in those two that seemed to be uncalled for a years. Where we are here is regrettably kind of polarization on racial i think were at the point of lines that merited our response. Saying north korea is going to be a nuclear state. Our job now is to figure out how reverend kelly douglas, do we limit and manage that. How do we move forward in a very dangerous time. The real question is what is their intentions with their critical moments in our history. Nuclear weapons. I think of Riverside Church in and i think their intensions new york city and others s join arent good. I dont think theyre going to launch a preemptive strike at the Civil Rights Movement and us, but theyll use them for blackp blackmail, terrorism, to press their view on what they want the africanameric Korean Peninsula to be, which is africanamerican, are we at such a point now where leaders of faith need to speak out . A united peninsula with no u. S. I definitely think that we troops on it. So its very bad that they have are. Not speaking out seems to me nuclear weapons, but so far that not only are we implicitly theres no traction at all in condoning the these negotiations to eliminate them. And there are Big Questions today about the overall approach to arms control by the administration. Attacks on peoples humanity, with the support of nato now but were alseaders, we believe quitting the intermediate range treaty i remember was gorbachev in 1987. It was the elimination of the short range threat in europe. Their argument is that russia is vi violating it and we need to get to china involved. To think that china is going to agree to anything is beyond i think were throwing away big advantages by jettisoning the inf treaty. Thats a treaty adyoull recall that gave us things like intrusive monitoring, onsite inspection. The kinds of things you need to understand whats going on in another countrys program. Plus, looming in the background of this is the fact that the new start treaty, the treaty that covers these big intercontine intercontinental missiles, which can hit us in 35 minutes that thats about to expire next year. The signals from the administration is its not a good treaty we dont think well renew it. It could be renewed with a stroke of a pen. It needs to be mondernized. That can be done. To back away from all this is to really, among other things, threaten whole proliferation regime in the world under the nonproliferation treaty. If the u. S. Isnt playing in these games, reducing nuclear weapons, why should anyone else . There seems to be an instinct to cancel anything that president obama negotiated and throw all that out from this administration, the National Security advisor, the secretary of state, the president of the united states. You know, we all wish them well, but they state grand ambitions. They throw away the things that are working and then they dont realize those ambitions. So youre left essentially with nothing.

Theres an immediate suspension that does not mean hell be fired. Well stay on top of this throughout. And on to, again, the politics today. Another stunning republican retirement from congress. Three term texas represent will hurd, the only black republican in the house announcing hell not seek reelection. Hurd is a former cia officer. Hes the sixth House Republican to announce retirement. He was the only republican to survive reelection when his district went for Hillary Clinton in 2016. He says as the only africanamerican republican in the house of representatives and as a congressman who represents a 71 latino district ive taken a conservative message to places that dont often hear it. These republican ideals resonate with people who dont think they identify with the Republican Party. Every american should feel that have a home in our party. Wow. Joining me now, nbc news murray texan, and rick tyler, former Senior Advisor to ted cruz. Mark murray, you know texas so well. This is quite a statement from will hurd about the comments the president has made about the squad, of other comments hes made, about the border. And as a former cia officer, hes been very outspoken about criticisms of the Intelligence Community and clearly of robert mueller. On a practical level it sends a bad message to republicans about their chances of taking back control of the house of representatives in 2020. They need fewer than 20 seats to be able to flip to take it over. If democrats are in the drivers seat, and this district is now leaning democratic, its going to be one more district the republicans have to win.

It shows you that the tint of the Republican Party is getting smaller and smaller in the era of trump. I want to play for all of us will hurd back in january talking about the impact of the Government Shutdown and the stalemate in washington on people. Ultimately, 800,000 people
