Im surprised it didnt come on a napkin at this point. We will let you know the specific details at the appropriate moment. One could argue the rollout of the plan was supposed to be the appropriate moment that you would have some of these details. Its a great plan. Its going to put people back to work. I find it fascinating that blowing this gigantic hole in the debt is not an issue anymore. He is the king of debt, and now were seeing it in realtime. The people who will get a gigantic tax cut are corporations and very wealthy people, people like donald trump. Will the president release his tax returns the president has no intention. The president has released plenty of information. Ha boy, has he got his talking points down, doesnt he . This will pay for itself with growth. No tax cut has ever paid for itself through growth effect. This is pure magical thinking. You would have to hire David Copperfield to make this work out. So on day 97 of the trump presidency, with the clock ticking
Word. Joy reid sitting in for lawrence. Amen. We need to regain our power to be shocked. I am joy reid sitting in for Lawrence Odonnell. Big breaking news tonight. General Michael Flynn who served as Donald Trumps National Security adviser for less than a month before being fired for lying about his contacts with russia is reportedly trying to cut a deal, offering to talk to investigators about the Trump Campaign and russia in exchange for im from prosecution. For the trump white house, things just got real. The wall street journal is now reporting former trump National Security adviser general Michael Flynn general flynn is a wonderful man offering to testify in exchange for immunity, when you are given immunity, it means you have probably committed a crime. I think its very, very unfair whats happened to general flynn. Now that we know that its his own staffers who were briefing devin nunes. It now raises more questions about whether the white house is actively interfering in this in

It now raises more questions about whether the white house is actively interfering in this investigation. If i start going down the path of confirming and denying one thing, were going down a very slippery slope. Thats why you have press conference, buddy, to answer questions. Every day in this investigation you wake up and think its going to be one kind of day and it turns out to be quite a different kind of day. There is a big bombshell that dropped tonight in the Ongoing Investigation into the trump campaigns alleged collusion with russia in its interference with the 2016 election. The wall street
Hes the guy whos not Chuck Grassley standing up there with the hat and he asked the question of Chuck Grassley at the town hall in iowa tonight that Rachel Maddow would have asked if she was there. He knew exactly what he was talking about. He asked it perfectly. He asked it way more concisely than i ever could have and he had all of the right followup questions and wouldnt let grassley get away without committing to it. It was just beautiful. I love him. And the great thing is, the Rachel Maddow show is going to rerun again tonight as it does every night. Youll get to see rachel announce her new boyfriend, introduce her new boyfriend. Now i have to go home and have a big fight with susan. Weve been working really hard on getting his name. I havent been able to find it. Were going to get you two together. Susan will kill me. But thank you. You, too, actually, if you can make it happen. Thanks, rachel. The jekyll and hyde and turned from one teleprompter to the other teleprompter and sa

I know having spoken to the president since the government reopened, hes absolutely determined to take what was a clear win for the president , a clear win for republicans, and make it a clear win for the American People. And blame game. While some in congress are toasting their success, the finger pointing begins with the progressives and some 2020 hopefuls saying their party caved. You know, democrats are pretty good at articulating values, but a little weak on defending them. Dealing with dreamers, this is not politics. This is a moral moment for our country.
