Replacement in sight. Repeal and replace is going great. And racial bias, Excessive Force and reckless shootings. Todays doj report on the Chicago Police department when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. There is just one week to go until donald trump becomes the president of the United States. He has not even taken office yet and already trump is historically unpopular. His transition, arguably clouded by more serious scandals and controversy than all eight years of the Obama Administration combined. As questions mount about the circumstances of trumps election and his alleged ties to a foreign adversary. Democrats appear to be reaching a breaking point. In an interview with chuck todd, georgia congressman, Civil Rights Icon john lewis became the first to declare openly what i believe many lawmakers have until now only suggested. I dont see this
President Elect as a legitimate president. You do not consider him a legitimate president . Why is that .
Be pushback here. He spoke very favorably of exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson.

Months, they cant have a replacement. The democrats are very happy in some ways they are going to get rid of obamacare. This was the one big answer paul politically. This was one big answer, a new solution that was going to be revolutionary and change things for the better. Didnt work. They are happy. We had it for six years. Theyre happy to dump it off. Im more optimistic, there are a lot of pitfalls, we can go through them, if we have momentum, get one part down on the replace part, it creates the conditions for further things down the road. So i think that the main thing is that they need to show momentum. They have the repeal and show good things being done. Because our goal is not, the problem is, obamacare is like, closing down a nuclear plant. There is all this waste. You cant turn it off and walk away.

He was trying to keep a low Public Profile and never say anything that would be contradictory to the president of the United States. He knew that this would infuriate trump. He knows that President Trump doesnt like to see other people
out there in public speaking. That it is all reserved for the president. So mattis over the last two years had had a strategy. You dont see him on camera holding p
Assert themselves. Well, and here we are. Guys, i dont even know where to begin. That is all we have for mtp daily tonight. In the midst of the Breaking News, the house is voting right now on the key vote that will apparently tell us more about whether there is a shut down coming and we have this National Security imploegsion. And our Breaking News continues with ari melber. I dont know if i dont know if Breaking News is enough to describe everything that is happening right now, but the Trump White House might be unraveling. I heard you say nightmare and unraveling. We have the language here, bry let you go, of general mattis say you have the right to have a Secretary Of Defense that whose views are better aligned with yours. Where do we go from here . And if you believe jeremy bash who said the president that secretary matt is was never going to resign and the president would have to fire him.
