Good morning, its wednesday, september 20th. We are following a number of stories. President trump was America First se u. N. And steps up his warnings to north korea meanwhile, republican as far as see daylight on Health Care Reform. Some gop governors arent so sure about that. The Russian Investigation rolls on with new details on whos paying the president s legal bills but first, two Natural Disasters unfolding in real time. Rescue efforts happening right now in mexico after a powerful earthquake ripped through that country yesterday and Hurricane Maria about to slam directly into puerto rico. Well go straight to meteorologist bill karins with a check on the storms latest track. Bill. Power knocked out. Roof damage done, structural damages beginning as the strongest weekends are moving on shore in puerto rico. Overnight, can you see the storm, 124mileperhour winds in st. Croix.

landfall. Lets get into the zoomed in radar. You see san juan to the north
steve: so there is his apology and retraction under threat of legal action by the trump administration. now, eric trump is saying, look, he tweeted this out. this was a reckless attempt to slander our family and smear a great company. apologies are not enough when the true intent was solely to damage and cause harm. as a company, we will be taking legal action. this unethical behavior has got to stop. katie: this is what happens when people allow their bias, their confirmation bias. steve: what bias? katie: to get in front of the facts. lawrence o donnell wanted that to be true. that s why he said it. i m sorry, if robert mueller didn t dig this up after two years of investigation, thousands of interviews. you know, they indicted a bunch of russian assets, i don t think that the one source that lawrence o donnell has is necessarily telling the truth. brian: i thought that rachel maddow s reaction really told the whole story. even she didn t believe it.
good prosecutors in the navy, and that is surely they ve taken a proffer, they ve got a statement that they made and they didn t put him on the stand without and didn t not he question him about it, but didn t dig into the facts of the case without knowing something about what he s going to say. somewhere there s a statement about gallagher being responsible for the killing. we ll see. that s why you have different versions, different witnesses, on a journey to seek the truth. they ve got witnesses saying they saw gallagher stabbing him in the death. it s up to the jury, whether or not they can deal with the conflict in the testimony, the conflict between the two witnesses and they ll decide which one is credible. arthel: if this medic ends up convicted for war crimes, what s the potential punishment? whoever did it, someone s convicted, if it s gallagher he faces up to the rest of his life in prison. but again, as you said, arthel, in the introduction to this segment, this is a dr
least explore that, see if the russians are up to something, if it s a ploy, expose it. if it s not a ploy, work with it. the president s speech at the united nations didn t dig into it much further. what did you think of the speech overall? joe, i think you all have talked about it a fair amount already. but, look, what is the purpose of the speech by the president of the yunited states to the united nations? it is to sell america s policy, to bring countries to the table in order to achieve your goals. and the president gave a speech about america first, which winds up, in effect, i think, making america last and diplomacy last. or making america alone fundamentally. it pushes people away. i mean, this childish kind of the rhetoric. if name calling was going to solve this problem, donald trump would have already solved the problem. so, that s not going to move
vote despite his controversial remarks about immigrants. in more of his interview with cnn s anderson cooper trump tells us why he thinks latino voters will support him. you did make a lot of people the people you are running against, the gop, very nervous. they feel you have to get hispanics on the side of gop. mitt romney got 20% of the vote. he didn t appeal to them. i understand why. he didn t appeal it a lot of people. he didn t appeal to conservatives. if republicans would have left their living room and got out and voted, he would have won the election. people for some reason didn t dig mitt romney. as far as can you get the latino vote? i tell you what if the republicans voted mitt romney he didn t energize anybody. i do energize. i think you say that. i do energize. huge crowds. i will get more latinos than anybody else.
