The way through to next tuesdays critical wisconsin primary. All of this started yesterday with trump talking about abortion at a town hall with Chris Matthews right here on msnbc. Then after making the comments in the town hall, trump changed his position over the course of the night. Im going to play with you first the original comments that donald trump made yesterday. Should the woman be punished for having an abortion . Look this is not something you can dodge. If you say abortion is a crime or murder, you have to deal with it under the law. Should abortion be punished . Well, people in certain parts of the rerepublican party and conservative republicans would say yes, they should be punished. How about you . I would say its a very serious problem. And its a problem that we have to decide on. Its very youre for banning it. Are you going to say put them in jail . Im asking you because you say you want to ban it. You running for president will be chief executive of the united states
Hotel at the old post office. Now donald trump just came in through his motorcade. This is the Republican National committee a stones throw from the capital. This is on the day donald trump announced congressional Leadership Team headed up by the first members of congress who endorsed him. We have made calls to the rnc to ask what the purpose of this meeting is about. They have not returned our calls. They would not confirm the meeting was going to happen. It took us sitting out here for the last hour or so and making a visual eye contact. You cant miss that blonde hair in the back of the suv that just went around to the back. There are a lot of things to discuss between whatever rnc officials are in there and donald trump. He recently said he would break the pledge. Not necessarily support whoever the nominee would be. Theres been a lot of questions about that. Also saying to our own Chris Matthews that women should be penalized for abortion. Walked that back. Also dropping Nuclear Bo
From over. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts begins our coverage another busy day as the president and his team try to formulate a plan to save his extreme vetting executive order. At the same time, hundreds of people at the white house for another visit of a foreign leader. At the white house today, a warm embrace for japans Prime Minister shinzo abe, not long after President Trump took a flamethrower to the ninth Circuit Court of appeals on twitter, calling their ruling last night, a disgraceful decision. Thank you very much. In a press conference with abe, saying he will not be deterred from his prime directive to keep the country safe.

Sources stated white house might give up on the idea of lifting the temporary restraining order and may not appeal the case.

And wealth inequality in america today. It is not moral, it is not acceptable, and it is not sustainable that the top 1 10 of 1 now owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 . Or that the top 1 in recent years has earned 85 of all new income. That is unacceptable. That must change. This election is about remembering where we were 7 1 2 years ago when president obama came into office after eight years of republican trickledown economics. The republicans want us to forget that as a result of the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on wall street, our economy was in the worst economic downturn since the great depression. Thats where we were. Some 800,000 people a month were losing their jobs. 800,000 people. We were running up a record breaking deficit of 1. 4 trillion and, by the way, the worlds Financial System was on the verge of collapse. Thats where we were when president obama came into office.
