Should be steered in such a way to maximize economic benefits to working people in this country. The working class and the middle class. If we were going to be a mega power in the world, which is what we woke up to at the end of world war ii, then lets use it in a specific way. There was this impetus at that time that we should use it and shape our economic might and use our economic might to benefit american working people. And the specific idea was everybody in america who wanted a job should get a job and not just a job but a good job. It should become the economic priority of our country now that we have all this new power. It should be our priority that we have full employment, a job for everyone who wants one. So that was proposed. In the First Congress at the end of world war ii that we would make that a priority and our government would be bound to follow that. And so that was proposed, and conservatives can killed it. That bill had initially been called the full employment bil
Briefing, some british reports are characterizing that response as an apology. The claim with which they took issue our oldest, closest ally helped president obama spy on then candidate donald trump, in a statement the British Intelligence agency naming, named by the white house, called that claim nonsense. Weve got reporters and experts with us right there. We also have kasie hunt on capitol hill, Andrea Mitchell sticking around, she is of course nbc newss chief foreign correspondent, host of msnbcs Andrea Mitchell reports, and shes also traveling with secretary Rex Tillerson in seoul, south korea. Hallie, let me start with you and play a few clips of what President Trump has said about Angela Merkel. This is during the campaign. We defend jeremy. Its a behemoth, meaning an economic behemoth. Of course in Angela Merkel keeps allowing the initiation grants if its not going to be a beme moth its going to be a civil war. I used to think merkel was a great leader. She blew it. Whats going

About was a fox news report. They claim that three different intelligence sources had told them that the president went outside, im talking about president obama, went outside the normal chain of command to do some sort of surveillance. He didnt go to the fbi or the cia, he went to british intelligence. Well, a statement has now been issued by g. C. H. Q. , that is the namef that agency saying recent allegations made by media commentator judge andrew in a politano about gchq being asked to conduct wire tapping against the then president elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous and they should be ignored. Now, multiple sources, multiple news reports in the u. K. Say the white house has issued a formal apology. We have asked them. We have not heard back from them. But lets be clear about this. This is not something again that a president can do. The president cannot go to a Foreign Agent and ask them to spy on an american citizen. So the brits completely unhappy about this, comple

A spokesman for the Prime Minister calling the claim you are the utterly ridiculous, this comes as President Trump is standing by his allegations that former president Obama Wiretapped him despite the fact that the republican chairs of the house and Senate Intelligence committees have come out to say there is no evidence to back that up. What started as a twitter accusation has become an international incident. Lets bring in jeff zeleny at the white house for us. Jeff, one thing y
