Did you see some of the pictures . Even out here on long island. Cars on the highways up to their roofs. Looked like a river. It was. Yeah, parts of the midatlantic and northeast cleaning up and drying out after heavy rains sparked flooding across several states. The hardest appeared to be long island. Islip 13. 27 inches in under 24 hours and more than a foot in less than a day. More than the region receives in an entire summer. The rainfall shattered previous records and a lot of cars abandoned and a lot of people h
Carnage at, yet another u. N. Schoolhousing refugees in gaza. The third time they have bombed the u. N. Run school. The state department was appalled by the disgraceful shelling outside the school. There can be no question of the state identity . No, absolutely, no. There was encouraging news about an american doctor infected with ebola. I cant think of a better place in the world, other than Emory University hospital, to care for this patient. The plane has picked up the second ebola patient to go to georgia. Congress has left the building. Leading the president promising to go solo on the humanitarian crisis at the border. So thats not disagreement between me and the house of republicans. That is a green light between the republicans and the house of republicans. What are you going to do about it . I think congress has to sit down and have a serious look at this constitutional and that includes that i word we dont want to say. I think it would be foolish to discount the possibility.

I shared an office with steve carell. Ive held high level talks with Chinese State counselor. Well, now youre just making words up. I will have you know, madam, i on
Ahead than the United States and United States companies in trading, and in doing things to build africa. Africa is an opportunity, an opportunity that finally, it looks like, some will engage seriously thanks to this president. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. Counter suit. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Let me start with what caused a big remarkable reaction last night. Im talking about the idea of the president turning the tables and suing what he calls this dont do Nothing Congress. They sue him. People think they should do what i talked about last night, sue them back. Many think suing the congress back is the way the president
should respond to what the republicans in the house of representatives did to him last week. Think about it. Time and again congress has failed to act on even the most roo are teen matters of official business like approving ambassadors for posts overseas. Its failed to do what everyone kno
16 years ago, fresh out of college, a 22yearold intern in the white house, and more than averagely romantic, i fell in love with my boss. In a 22yearold sort of way. It happens. But my boss was the president of the United States. That probably happens less often. And at that time it was my everything. That, i guess you could say, was e nice part. Ubble part for me, the nasty part was that it
