Deja vu all over again. Ed, you know, hed run the most hateful divisive bigoted campaign ive ever seen in virginia history. Donald trumpstyle politics doesnt work here in virginia. We begin with the massacre at a texas church and word the gunman should never have had a gun in the first place, let alone an assault rifle. A Domestic Abuse conviction while in the air force should have been a red flag. But that information apparently fell through the cracks. We have a great team to break it all down. Starting with my friend nbc justice correspondent pete williams. Pete, i want to start by playing part of what we heard from u. S. Air force secretary Heather Wilson on cnbc earlier today. Initiated a review in the air force to find out why his fingerprint records were not transmitted to the database and well find out why. Have you thought about whether the air force will have to accept some form of liability from the families as a result of this . Im more interested in responsibility. Weve ta
Reassuring americans that trade wars are good and, quote, easy to win. No, sir, theyre not. Grid lock on guns. As the president dines with leaders of the nra, congress, still at a standstill. Admitting theyve got zero plans, zero, to vote on guns. Im going to watch actions instead of words. Untangling the web. How a Prominent Russian politician used his ties to the nra to gain deeper access to american politics and of course our politicians. All right, you know what im going to begin with. President trumps call for new tariffs which is drawing major criticism from around the globe. And while the u. S. And International Markets have been tanking on fears of a trade war, this president said today that trade wars are good and theyre easy to win. That is 100 false. I have a great team here to break all of it down. First, i want to explain for you exactly whats going on here. This is something that the president , hes been talking about it since the campaign trail. On thursday, he followed
Weve noticed at the state department and the white house this hour, where theyre still trying to iron out the wrinkles including, brace yourself, who picks up the tab for kim jongun s hotel. I kid you not, well explain, you decide, and theyre already calling it the letter that changed everything from the leader of north korea to the leader of the United States, it wasnt a text, not a tweet, not an email, a letter. Kids listen up and take note. Were going to teach you something about the value of the written word, so put that gadget down and take note of the timing of all of this. The highest ranking north korean to meet a u. S. President since 2000 also the year of the uss coal attack remember that one well its commander sure does, a threat from foreign entities who said they did not but apparently did. The commanders message, of course, talk and trust but keep talking and verify. And keep reading youve got that a New York Times headline right, the jobs report that is too good for word
Harsh reaction to the president s bizarre pledge to save 70,000 jobs in china. President trump, by caving, frankly, to china, in respect to zte is signaling tremendous weakness. China sees that and theyre going to run with it. It is primary day. Voters in four states heading to the polls. Including pennsylvania, the first test of the newly mandated court districts. You know what we begin with today, clashes along israels bordz border. Palestinians no longer seeing a path to peace, theyre lashing out instead. A team to break all of it down this morning. First, it is just after 9 00 a. M. Eastern time. Just after 4 00 in the afternoon in the palestinian territories. This is the time of day when people get off work and they head to the protest. Were watching the situation closely. Because today has the potential to be particularly bad. That is because palestinians are calling today catastrophe day. The anniversary of their being removed from israel after its founding in 1948. The crowds m
Lawyer agreed to cooperate with prosecutors after he previously said he would take a bullet for the president. And under review. An extensive report from the New York Times into duetch banks relationship with President Trump. Details that the bank saw multiple red flags over a two decade relationship that included bankruptcies and inflated assets. Yet they still gave him more than 2 billion to finance his real estate projects. And making their big pitch. 2020 Democratic Candidates come out swinging for the voters all the way to the fence. Throwing out big ideas on guns, term limits, and the future of elections. My view is that every vote matters. We can have National Voting and that means get rid of the Electoral College. We begin with a whole lot of new documents and information coming out this morning and its related to the special counsel and one of the congressional investigations surrounding President Trump. Now some of that information was released seconds ago. I have a great tea
