This was the last day before the Trump Presidencys 100th day. And congress put in less than half a day because there is no trump agenda item alive in congress right now. There is no bill moving anywhere in congress now. No legislative vehicle that is a trump agenda item. We have never seen a 99th day like this for a president. Every president s busiest legislative year is the first year. Its when their power of persuasion over the congress is at its highest. And it only goes down after that. What a president accomplishes in his first year is usually most of what the president will accomplish in his first term. This is so clear historically that when bob woodward chose to write a book entitled the agenda, he decided to focus entirely on a president s first year. And he picked a president with a loaded first year agenda, bill
clinton. At this point in bill clintons first year, the congress was working overtime. At the same time, congress was working on nafta, a giant tax bill which was i
Voters in here. See what they had to say a little earlier. This time, i voted for john ossoff. Theres a little message being sent by me and others. No question about that. I also do think there needs to be a check on donald trump. So there you have one voter i talked to who said, look, i want toe a check on donald ump. A lot of the voters i heard from today, they do cast this as a referendum on the president himself, on donald trump. Several republicans i talked to said, you know, god bless donald trump. I will say, this isnt necessarily trump country. Trump didnt win here by as much as tom price did, the congressman who was reelected in 2016 by a 20point margin. Trump won by 1. 5 points. At the same time, it does tell you potentially gives you a sense of the energy that the democrats have. Thats what it is going to take if they are actually going to try to make a dent in the Republican House majority in 2018. Ali . Encourage folks to make their voices heard and to make history here in
Happenstance . Yes, absolutely. The irony of roger stone rejecting a conspiracy theory. And so today, april 13th, 2017, was the day that america woke up to the sudden knowledge that bombs have mothers. That all of the conventional nonnuclear bombs in the American Military arsenal have one big beautiful mother. And there she is. The bombs official name for Bookkeeping Purposes in the military is the gbu43. The letters on the side of the bomb describe its function, what you can expect from it. Massive ordnance air blast. But the military doesnt want us to call it the gbu43, or the moab. Names are important to the military. They name their bases after war heroes, after general, including
generals who have committed treason by fighting in the Confederate Army against the United States of america. The biggest u. S. Military base in the world, the one with the biggest Military Population is in fort hood in texas, named after Treasonous Confederate General john bell hood. But the militarys mo
Hallie jackson, thank you. Right now on msnbc, tale of the tapes. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle call for President Trump to turn over any recordings he may have of his krfrgconversati with ousted fbi director james comey. Plus, recording history. New reports say President Trump has for a long time secretly recorded phone conversations when he was in private business.

Program that cuts back on medicaid in order to have tax cut for wealthy people, but we do need to deal with the cost of the individual market and the premiums. One way to do that is to make sure that the cost sharing is a predictable payment to the Insurance Companies to cover the cost deductibles and copays. Another thing we can do is improve subsidies for lower income families. Democrats and reins cpublicans o that together. Democrats and republicans can bring down the cost of prescriptio prescriptions. We could follow a canadian mod e. We could organize the patient as Value Reimbursement rather than just volume. Do you accept the idea that repeal and replace of obamacare is a mandate for the republican majorities . There is an agreement here, im trying to think of this almost like middle east peace, first negotiate the the ceasefire and then agree, the democrat agree Obamacare Needs Major Reforms and heres what were willing to talk about. What are you willing on your end to talk abo
