About syrias vicious and cruel attack on those innocent people, including children. National security adviser h. R. Mcmaster raising that question in an interview yesterday. What would she do is ask russia, how could it be if you have advisers at that air field that you didnt know that the Syrian Air Force was preparing and executing a mass murder attack with chemical weapons. Now, nbc new has not confirmed the russians knew, and in fact, Senior Intelligence sources telling us they have doubts about key elements of the a. P. s story. However, we know russia teamed up with iran to send a warning to the u. S. , saying they will respond with force to anyone who crosses their, quote, red lines. Now, all of this dangerously raising the stakes for secretary of state rex sitillersons trip tomorrow to moscow, and adding to the confusion right now, top s. Fficia dt even agree on whether syrian president Bashar Aassad should stay in power. Regime change is something that we think is going to happen because all of the parties are going to see assad is not the leader that needs to take place for syria. What the United States and our allies want to do is enable the Syrian People to make that determination. Meanwhile, it appears that syria has now resumed flights from the air field that was hit by american cruise missiles. Critics saying that raises questions about the effectiveness of the strike. Heres what i think assads telling trump by flying from this base. F you, and i think hes making a serious mistake. We should have cratered the runways. The signal that theyre able to fly almost right away out of the same facility indicates that i dont think we did as thorough enough job, which would have been cratering the runways. With me, republican congressman mike coffman, marine corps veteran and member of the Armed Services committee and former ambassador to iraq, syria, and afghanistan, ryan crocker and retired general barry mccaffrey. Let me go to you, congressman, the fact theyre able to fly out of that air field means we didnt crater thane runway. Should we have cratered the runway . The nature of the attack was a proportional response. It was not to gain a tactical advantage. It was to send a very clear and decisive message. And i think that it accomplished that task. I think debating whether to what extent the runway should have been cratered, i think is on the margins. The key issue i think we have to remember is that a message was sent. But general mccaffrey, let me take issue with what the congressman just said. Didnt we also want to make it so it was impocket or difficult for them to once again take chemical weapons and strike. By not cratering it, they could get back up in the air right away if they intended to do more. The United States naval administration, the u. S. Air force, the most powerful force on earth, could have obliterated the entire grid square had they chosen to do so. They wanted a zero risk to u. S. Pilot strike and they wanted it quickly. They ended up as we understand it destroying most of the aircraft on the ground. So i think it was, you know, sort of a modest hit, and it was accomplished with no risk. Thats what they wanted to do. Ambassador, the controversy tonight is what russia knew or didnt know prior to this attack. There were Russian Troops at that air field, so naturally, the suspicion is that they knew something was awry. That they had the capability. How does this factor into the diplomacy, especially with secretary of state tillerson meeting with foreign minister lavrov tomorrow in moscow . Greta, i think it gives us a real opportunity here. And pleased to see that Senior Administration officials, including secretary llerson, ar going on the offense publly against russia. You know, when they say that we have violated syrias sovereignty, we need to be saying back that youre protecting a mass murderer who is gassing his own people. We need to get that message across to both the russians and the iranians. And the iranians are particularly on this because they have suffered chemical weapons attacks. So whether they knew, whether they didnt know is not the main point here. They are closely associated with bashar. They got him in their warm embrace, and we need to be telling them and telling the world the quality of regime with which they associate. I suspect we have asked russia not to do things before, like get out of crimea, dont help the separatists in the ukraine. Will they listen to secretary tillerson tomorrow when he says stop helping assad poison and kill his civilians . No, i think theyre in a very bad position. Theyre supporting a criminal regime that will never be accepted by the Syrian People, the majority of whom are actually sunni muslim. This is a shia minority sect. I think ambassador crocker has this entirely right. Its not whether the russians knew about a chemical strike. By the way, i dont believe they did. Doesnt make sense for either the syrians or the russians to have enabled chemicals. By the way, nor does it i know a lot about chemical weapons. Nor does it make any sense that the subsequent high explosive attack on the hospital was meant to cover up a chemical weapon attack. Would not have achieved its purpose. But i think what is clear is that the russians got in there, and they have been complicit in the murder of 400,000 or more people that has devastated the country, put 5 million to 7 million refugees out across the turkish, lebanese, and jordanian frontiers. Its a nightmare. Congressman, how do you explain and the American People say were all horrified at these images were seeing of these People Killed by the gas. Theyre gasping for air, and theyre dying. Its horrible. Yet the use of barrel bombs by syria has been incredible. They have lost 20,000 to 30,000 People Killed by that. And theres no such outrage. How do you explain this to American People . Greta, it is tough. We are signatories to a 1993 ban on the use of chemical weapons. President obama entered into agreement with the russians, with the syrians to turn over chemical weapons and destroy them. This was in clear violation of that. And i think we have to limit it here because i dont think we really, you know, as an iraq war veteran, i dont think we want to get mired inside a civil war with u. S. Boots on the ground, so i think that i dont think the administration had a choice given that this was a clear violation of an earlier agreement. Ambassador, what do we do . People dont want to get embroiled in a civil war. They dont want to do it anyplace in the world. Its never been anything that is particularly beneficial to the American People. Yet were very moral people. Where do you draw the line . What should we do in this instance . Well, thats exactly the poin so far so good. But this is just the beginning. Now comes the hard part. And i see this in both moral terms and political terms. In moral terms, the next time that bashar goes after his own people with conventional weapons or barrel bombs, and we do nothing, the way thats going to be read is that we dont really care about civilians being killed. We just care how they were killed. Right. Thats not a comfortable moral position to be in. Politically, its going to be at least as difficult. The support that the administration has gotten, for example, from the turks and from the saudis is predicated on the hope that under President Trump we will shift our focus from Islamic State to their number one target, which is the assad regime. So were going to have quite a challenge here trying to manage all this at different levels. Can i add one thing . Yes. You know, the one thing thats astonished me is secretary tillersons statement that the future of assad was up to the Syrian People. It struck me as an outrageous statement by our head diplomat. Assad has devastated the entire country. Its a civil war. This is not geneva, for god sakes. I cannot imagine why he would imply that its in their hands. Thats what the problem is. A dictatorship murdering their own people. So general, if you were the adviser to the president , and look, mit, theres no perfect answer to this. Its really like you want to look for the least worst answer to this because of the terrible situation, but what would you advise President Trump, because we have seen even when we do help topple these dictators that sometimes we dont have anyone to replace them. It gets even worse. If you were advising President Trump tonight, general, what would you tell him . I tell you, its mess. We have no vital security interest at stake on the ground in syria. The Obama Administration essentially deferred and allowed the russians to enter the conflict on the ground and in the air with naval forces. My only by the way, strongly felt viewpoint is we should have significant amounts of humanitarian aid as in a billion dollars a month to sustain these populations in misery in jordan, lebanon, turkey, and to some extent iraq. The debate is all about 20,000 Syrian Refugees here. We have millions of people in misery in the European Union and the u. S. Ought to try to sustain them. Congressman, if the president called you tonight, what would you tell him . This is an aloite minority ruling over a sunni arab majority. Theyre never going to control the sunni arab areas. There has to be we have to do everything we can to try to arrive at a political solution to this. It is the only way out. And ambassador, what would you tell the president . I would tell him that he is off to a very good start in the international arena. He has spoken to, met with, telephoned, i dont know how many dozens of heads of state and government, includingll those who are central to the seyrian issue. Hes positioned in a way that president obama never did get to, to start to build personal relationships before the crisis. So this is a great opportunity to start that process in earnest. Were talking to other stakeholders. How can we coordinate, where do we want to get, how do we get there . This absolutely should not be unilateral from the u. S. And again as president has worked so hard on these relationships, hes in a position to pull something together. And i asked all of you the same question because i have no idea what the right answer is. Even with 20 20 hindsight, usually you know what the right answer is later. I dont even know with 20 20 hindsight how to solve these problems. Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you. Right now, u. S.

This is a rogue regime that is now a Nuclear Capable regime. And president xi and President Trump agreed that that is unacceptable. The president has asked us to be prepared to give him a full range of options to remove that threat to the American People and to our allies and partners in the region. President Trumps National security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster, explaining why the u. S. Navy is sending a group of warships led by the u. S. S. Carl vinson to the curkorean peninsula. This saturday is a big day in north korea. Itarks the 150th anniversary of the president , and theyre planning a giant celebration. Meanwhile, with the u. S. S. Vinson heading its way, announcing its not frightened of the u. S. Saying north koreas tremendous military muscle with a Nuclear Force as it pivots will foil any aggression by the United States. With p. J. Crowley and steve clemons, p. J. , first to you. General h. R. Mcmaster says its provocative behavior. Let me get cruder and say they have had five Nuclear Missile tests and they keep doing five Nuclear Weapons tests and they have all these missile tests. Thats a little more than provocative. It is a source of concern for the u. S. And our allies in the region, and the movement of the ships into the region is a gesture. It is a gesture to north korea, but it is also a reassurance to our allies that we are prepared to protect them. But the problem is, if north korea acts, by the time we respond, theres a lot, you have 11 Million People in south korea, 30,000 Artillery Weapons on the border pointed right at seoul. Sure, but this is not the first time we have done this. In fact, we just had a recent military exercise. That got north koreas attention. I mean, rhetoric is what north korea does. What you really want to avoid is someone fires a shot in one direction or the other, then youre into a scenario where you dont know where it ends. Usually its a good idea if you can keep your opponent talking because theyre not doing anything. The whole problem with north korean Nuclear Weapons, president clinton couldnt do anything about it, president bush, president obama, and now present trump. But in the meantime is what is so different is while theyre talking, theyre advancing their programs. Theyre advancing the programs, and donald trump and Rex Tillerson have said as far as north korea goes that the time for talking is over. So they have taken a very, very hard line with north korea, what you have seen after the shinzo abe summit and the xi jinping summit are a substantial portion of those conversations was about north korea. Now we see china deploying 150,000 troops to the north korean border. Fearful about refugees leaving north korea. The place is getting hotter, and theyre sure that donald trump is not going to be like obama and just ignore that north korea. Take it one step further. Im not suggesting military action is right. I dont have an answer to this like i dont have an answer to syr syria. However, is that President Trump has been so crit president obama and that red line remark, and hes essentially given a red line remark to north korea on this. He has. So can you tell me how this is playing out . Right now, its not playing out well in my view because as far as i can tell, theres no channel for north korea to back into. Theres no talks that within the past, you would try to strong arm north korea, shape the environment so north korea would engage in constructive talks again. That doesnt seem to be on the table right now. It seems to me that they want total capitulation and a kind of forward step by northorea to say were going to give up our Nuclear WeaponsProgram Since somehow have china miraculously become a great partner with us in that. So i think its getting hotter with no real clear plan. As you know, you can take different actions. If you dont take action now, you have a lot of north korea lives off extortion, off extortion from its neighbors. If there is a military strike of the kind we saw in syria, you put at risk hundreds of thousands of people in south korea and possibly japan. So theres no good answer. I dont see north korea backing off a bit. They have this whole sort of pride thing that this is i dont see them backing off. Its more than pride. Im not saying it in a good way. Not as a good thing. In ses essence, north korea is trying to rewrite the bargain we have negotiated for 20 years. You can have a normal country, a normal relationship with the United States if you give up your Nuclear Weapons. What north korea wants to do is say i want to have a normal relationship and keep my nuclear weps. Im sympathetic that the Current Situation is nothing to talk about. That would be okay if we were at a stand off and they werent doing anything, but the problem is they keep moving forward. Thats the problem, isnt it . Gadhafi gave up his Nuclear Weapons program, get killed by his own people. Theyre not going to give Nuclear Weapons up. What the obama team thought is by doing the iran deal, that might create some training wheels for north korea to see what they could possibly achieve. New money, new investment. A horizon of hope if they engaged in a nuclear deal. But i think, you know, part of the answer is to find way to exert additional economic pressure on north korea. Thats only part of the answer. Part of the answer is that china has to be responsible to create conditions that might enable some sort of negotiation to resume. I would say a bar might be no missile firings for six months to a year, and maybe there will be conversations. Other than that, i think we have to prepare to deter them. Pressure and deter them. We have done that before in the cold war. Heres the problem, is that if they cared about their people not having food but they dont. If they cared about that. Or if china had shown any time in the past where they have helped, but they really havent. Thats the problem. We sit here wanting these things so badly to happen, and we sort of look at it through our own eyes. You cant imagine a leader here starving his people like that, but they do. They do. But the dilemma here is any time, as steve said, someone starts firing, it puts hundreds of thousands of people in and around seoul in immediate risk. Anyway, gentlemen, another no good answer. Not for you guys. Like theres no good for any of us. Anyway, thank you both. Thank you, greta. Ahead, are two of the president s key advisers feuding or is there a truce.

President trump today on his Supreme Court pick getting sworn in and appearing to acknowledge the challenges he has faced in his first 100 days. One challenge is the publicized feud between chief strategist steve bannon a top adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner. Reince peebs held a meeting with bannon and kushner friday, trying to mend fencing between them. Sean spicer was asked about the infighting. What is the president s perspective on the ability, the current ability of his senior advisers to resolve their idealogical differences and resolve their personality differences and work as a team . Hes very confident in that. Theres a lot of stuff that was overblown about this. That makes it out into the media sometimes and gets a little bit more sensational than it truly is. Amid all this political reports that the white house is aware of that symbolic date, 100 days in office falling on april 29th. One aide saying, quote, we have essentially two and a half weeks to turn everything around. Joining me, White House Correspondent for the daily mail, francesca chambers. Political reporter for the boston globe, matt visor, and anne gearan. Anne, this infighting between steve bannon and Jared Kushner, interesting palace intrigue, but does it have an impact on policy . Well, i mean, i think it has an impact on decisions about policy. What to do first. And right now, the things that bannon wanted to do first havent gone well for the president. So the policies that he would like to push are not those that kushner would like to push. And so far, kushner has more of a winning record than bannon does. Certainly, the travel ban didnt go well, nor did health care. So yes, i think there is operationally an eect on policy. What they do when and kind of who has the upper hand in making those decisions. Matt, so where does it stand now . Have they really mended the fences or is that the public pr, everything is fine, kumbaya and theyre going to hold hands and walk to marine one . I think it is a theyre trying to reflect a cukumbaya moment. Theyre two idealogically opposed people, which trump likes. We know from his business career, he has liked that conflict. Hes liked delegating. He intervenes, though, when things go awry. It seems like they have gone even too far for him in terms of the drama that people are publicly talking about these names that are becoming household names and theyre not supposed to. Anne, francesca, anne mentioned the idealogical impact when one wins over the other. When you look at what happened in syria, the president waw aggressive in syria. The threat is Jared Kushner is much more of a globalist, and steve bannon is more lets take care of things at home. The things steve bannon wanted came first. The travel ban, health care. While they didnt go well, they were at the top of Donald Trumps list. Thats one way to look at it. That hurts steve bannon, though. If they had gone well, he would be riding high. But it also shows how much donald trump also values those things. How much he wanted to get them did. I dont know how much and now, now, but he also likes to win. And those were not successes. So hes moving on and doing other things such as his tax plan or infrastructure as well. When it comes to syria and it comes to Foreign Policy, i think President Trump has made it very clear that jared kushr is someone who he trusts on that. He hasuickly become a great source of power when it comes to Foreign Policy in this white house. Even sent him to iraq. Thats huge for someone in his position. I think when it comes to those issues. Hes going to listen to jared, but when it comes to the more domestic issues, he might be more inclined to listen to steve bannon. I think the person riding high tonight in the sort of trump sphere is whoever said pick gorsuch. Today, that was a victory for him. Yeah, oh, i mean, its a clear victory all the way through. I mean, they picked somebody who could be confirmed with wide republican support. Make the democrats look, you know, petty for that was their hope, for opposing him. Somebody who could get on the court quickly. Somebody who would fully fill out the scalia brief in terms of the space he occupies on the court. And somebody who is 49 years old and is likely to be on the court for decades. Those are exactly the things that republicans across the board very mainstream republicans and to their right wanted him to do. He did it, and he did it in less than 100 days. And i think thats, at this point, his biggest victory so far. Matt, i think were almost at the end of his victory for the 100 days. Even though he has another 18, 19 days because congress has gone home for two weeks. Not much he can do in the next two weeks. The overall narrative of the first 100 dames is hes been stymied legislatively and legally on the things hes trying to do. Interesting, he does have the house and senate. Hes been stymied within his own party, which is i think probably a criticism. He was supposed to get the deal. And he doesnt have his own team to get together. And a articulation sort of coming in aut what hewants. Some of that is reflective of the internal strifes we were talking about earlier where hes almost internally conflicted with things like climate change, where changing regulations but theyre not getting out of the paris climate deal, or the iran deal he continues to criticize without getting out. Also some promotion of solar energy. Thats interesting. People focus on the coal, but theres been some promotion on alternative energy. Not a whole lot. Which makes it hard for the trump doctrine internationally hard to articulate and the trump doctrine, what he wants domestically is hard to articulate because theres not one forceful, this is what we want to do, and its not as simple to build a wall as he talked about in the campaign. The whole climate change, this feeds into the steve bannon area. America first, and we just want to drill and get our own stuff here. So America First is the one uniting strategy, but its interesting now how they seem to be changing the definition of what America First means going back to syria. This is America First because its in our National Interests to have done this. But thats not true. A lot of people would say our moral interests. We have looked the other way with some of the chemical weapons in the past three years we have looked away. We are a superpower and we would like to be the moral leaders. This is something, again, that conservatives, the rand paul wing of the party, the libertarians, are saying isnt in the interest of the United States. It may morally be in the United States interests, but its not in the National Interest when it comes to military policy. Its just such a remarkable change from the way trump talked about Foreign Policy on the campaign trail. Like many other things that change once you get in the white hoe, i mean, it was bound to change in some way. But he did not talk about projecting the force of american ideals. He did not talk about the moral argument for doing anything overseas at all. It would be in fact completely the opposite. The moral force of turning the other way. Secretary clinton did, and look where it got her. To some extent, as a result of her experience as a former secretary of state. She had a different problem. She couldnt look like she was too much of an interventionist and internationalist or she would tick off her own left base. She didnt go after trump on some of those points for exactly that reason.

Were back with the politics of President Trumps air strikes against syria. A new poll shows just how divided public is. Just 18 want u. S. Ground troops in syria. 30 want just air strikes. 26 want just diplomatic talks and 15 want no involvement at all. Back with me, francesca, matt, and let me go to you, matt. These poll numbers. Yeah. Nobody knows what to do. Just as divided as the trump white house. Or we dont know what to do. It is a difficult situation, which maybe the Trump Administration picked the right option, given what they had in front of them. Sort of a specific pin prick right on the area that they were targeting ratr than gund troops, rather than a fullscale intervention, it was very specific. So theyre sort of trying to find the way to respond with those options. All right, francesca, 26 want diplomatic responses. I think probably 100 would if we all thought it would work, isnt that true . The strategy seemingly that they have outlined now moving forward that involves these diplomatic talks is really similar to actually what the Barack Obamas administration was pursuing. They were saying we need to have diplomatic talks that involve russia. We had those diplomatic talks in september and october of 2013, and the deal was that syria got rid of the chemical weapons and russia would handle it. Well, that didnt happen. At the end of the Obama Administration, they were still sitting down at the table with the russians trying to come to a diplomatic solution. While theyre building up their chemical weapon stockpile. But im saying it is very other than the air strikes, the position that we heard the white house put forward today is actually very similar to that. Were going to continue to have these talks to try to get assad out, but were also going to keep fighting isis on the ground. Very similar. Meanwhile, anne, we have incredible displacement of syrian civilians. These refugee camps are overflowing and people are starving and dying. We dont know yet whether the same set of calculations that clearly changed trumps mind about whether this kind of air strike, remember, we have been doing air strikes for more than a year, just a different kind of air strikes. Theyre not against assad specifically. And the same the images and the moral compulsion that he felt to act on the horror of those images, we dont know yet whether that will translate to a change of heart about Syrian Refugees. At the moment, he official as still wants to keep serious regees out of the country. Theyre the me people. Matt, the thing that was pointed out to me and im going to try to speak this in a polite way is that people are horrified by the images right now of the chemicals, as they should be, but the reason they arent horrified by the by the barrel bombs is because the people are blown to smith renes and you dont see them. You know, so its like suddenly people are all upset. The people blown to smithereens by the barrel bombs are no better off. And just the images alone, we have seen for some time. I mean, we have known about the atrocities in syria. Its sort of how much have we been paying attention to it. I think President Trump responds to images. And those images on last week were very graphic and upsetting. I think he sort of rapidly changed. Even that morning, he said he didnt want to be the president of the world. But those images, once they settled in, was a pretty big shift. Chemical weapons are different. I mean, these are weapons that the world came together and said after world war i, were too awful to use. How can a barrel bomb not be awful . Of course, it is. But there was a consensus, a global consensus, obviously, widely violated since, that chemical weapons were to be off limits. There are all kinds of horrible things you c do to kill people in war, but you wount do that. Let me ask you, i keep going back to south sudan every chance i get. I throw this one in, in south sudan, theyre using rape and amputation of people and cutting them up and doing all of those horrible things. Is that different than chemical weapons and barrel bombs . Under international law, yes. I mean, no less awful. Should our response be different . Our response in south sudan, so far, has been to try to get diplomatic talks started again and deal on the humanitarian side with the flow of refugees. Theres a lot of similarities. But we know nothing at this point of whether the white house has a true strategy to try to end the war in south sudan or whether they even really started to take a hard look at that. Thats probably because we dont have images and we also cant police and take care of the whole world, which is the awful, ugly situation. And that goes back again to what libertarians are arguing in this situation. Its really awful, but theres only a certain amount of taxpayer dollars and you risk a situation where you get mired in syria the way we have been mired in iraq and afghanistan already. Once again, no good answers. Anyway, not from you. But were not talking about russia. Indeed. Anyway, thank you, all. A pastor dragged off a United Airlines flight because it was overbooked. Could the airline face legal action . Thats next. Tools, right at your fingertips, you have access to indepth analysis, level 2 data, and a team of experienced traders ady to help u if youeeit.

Well, now to that video everyone, i mean everyone is talking about, a passenger bought a ticket on a flight and paid for it. United over booked that flight. Beknownst to the passenger and decided to against his will to bu him so they had a seat to united crew they wanted to move to another city. Oh my god. Oh, my god. No. My god, what are you doing look at what you did to him. Oh, my god. Happened sunday night, i mean flight scheduled to depart chicago, people on board that flight say they were told the randomly selected four ticketed passengers to make way for united employees. Aviation police dragging the man. Video shows him later returning to the plane. I have to go home. I have to go home. I have to go home. Now, the passenger was ticketed was treated for nonlife threatening injuries. Today the ceo apologized for having to reaccommodate customers and say theyre reviewing what happened. It is reaching out to that passenger. In Aviation Security officer has been placed on leave. With me are legal panel, ted williams. Ted, first to you. Have you ever heard the word the customer is alws right. In this instance i think united is going to fight it out through a lawsuit. I think that this customer, the manner in which he was treated has a cause of action against Law Enforcement officers for excessive force. I think there was false imprisonment. There was a breach of contract and clear on inflict of emotional distress. This is not your standard over booking. They wanted to put their own people, united crew on the flight. This wasnt even over booking. Its pretty outrageous, they wanted to put four crew members on the flight to get to louisville sooner. Its 5 30 hour drive, would it just killed them to put them on a bus or shuttle and get them there. Instead they call aviation pd who forcibly removed this man. What really kills me is they said he fell down. He fell down. We can see from the video when they were yanking him out of the seat, ive got to disagree with ted, i know its not the first time. I dont think theres a brief of contract action. This was not over booked flight. This was their own people that they wanted to put on that flight. This wasnt like, you know, we have four extra tour riss heading to orlando and we have 120 seats and we sold 124. They wanted to put their own people on, theyre the ones that didnt do that five and a half hour drive or they didnt charter a net jet to take him there. Theres clearly a breach of contract. This customer bought a ticket. Theygreed to take him to a certain location. The mere fact that all of a sudden that they tried to take him off because of individuals who are employees, i think its a breach of contract. Another thing thats appalling to me. According to the rules, when they asked for volunteers and how much money can they pay, they didnt get the volunteers. Youre entitled to 200 capped at 650 and you know that was the airline lobbyist who managed to get that put into effect. If they offered 5,000, they would have had 15, theyve got this lid on it. United optic involved in this is pretty bad. They havent handled this properly. They got off the whole ridiculousness of wearing the leggings. None of us read it. Uniteds is 46 pages when you buy that ticket, youre agreeing it. Thats for preboard. Ive read that contract. It is not after a passenger actually gets on the plane itself and that is what happened in this instance. You guys think this is over booking, this is not over booking. This is not over booking. This is united wanting to move four of its passengers someplace. I would agree. The passenger had the seat. United wanted to bring some of their own personnel employees on. This is not over booking. United is going to pay a lot of money in this one, i believe. The way they treated this man. He was distressed. I cant believe they couldnt find four people with the right dollar amount to give up the seat or one person. You see him just aired, he says, i want to go home and you cant blame him. He got all busted up by chicago pd and wants to go home. I dont know how the man ended up getting home. We need to see what happens in the end. Its a Public Relation nightmare. The ceo saying deaccommodate or reaccommodate. That isnt politically correct from ripping someone off the plane when they mismanage their own flights. Any way, thats terrible. Thank you both, that passenger on that united flight is lucky, lucky that some other passenger pulled out a camera and videoed it. United might be denying it or maybe blaming him. But that videotaping passenger wasnt the only passenger using a camera on a flight this weekend. Check out this photo, my colleague took. She was this weekend in florida covering President Trump and she tweeted this, kelly was on an american flight traveling back from a weekend of work, so was the passenger in front of her returned to d. C. For a weekend of work. Glimpse of secret service dog on flight back. Trump duty, sat quietly in his own seat next to handler. By the way, that passenger, the dog, behaved and thats a little bit more that i can say for united in that man handling. Thank you all for watching. Ill see you back here tomorrow night. Check out my Facebook Page because theres a lot going on facebook that i dont put that never makes air. For instance, my former assistant just got a big award, check out, i put it on my page, fun fact. She got an award by the story she did. Good night. See you tomorrow night. 6 00 p. M. Eastern right here. Hardball with Chris Matthews starts right now. The enemy within. Lets play hard ball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Donald trumps trump isnt the people hes hired. Its the enemy in his own brain he hasnt been able to fire. How he wants to stop the warring in the white house between nationalist and trump in bed, Jared Kushner ignores the fact that this is going on in trumps own head. And people starting with his
