Like global warming. We cant do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the United States. You combine that with the fact that the State Department has essentially been neutered, e s eviscerated by this administration thus far and watching in real time as america and americas image withdraws from the world. Do you know any republican senator or member of the house whos a republican, any party member of any party who believes the president believes he was wiretapped, who even believes he believes it . I dont think anybody knows exactly what donald trump believes and what he doesnt believe. I think whats scary to many republicans is that theyve had the opportunity to walk this back and theyre putting not only the presidency and the reputation of the presidency, but the reputation of the entire country at risk, the longer that this floats out there. The reality is is congress can ask the Department Of Justice as to whether theres a wiretap, bul but if theres an active invest
Going on. But tonight i actually showed up with something planned to say. Oh, okay. And you ruined it. Because i just listened again. Rachel. Bless our hearts and other parts. All right. But [ laughter ] i didnt know i could get you to say that again. Im regretting it immediately. Okay. Im going to try to say the thing i planned to say. Okay. And what i planned to say is wouldnt it be nice if it was just completely totally absolutely impossible to suspect that Vladimir Putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he has picked up over the last 24 hours . Wouldnt it be so nice if you couldnt even in your Wildest Dreams imagine a scenario like that . Wouldnt it be great if we could go back to wag the dog being a sitcom plot, you know. Exactly. And i dont know what it is. Is it a 2 chance . Is it a 50 chance . I dont know. But i dont think its a zero percent chance. And it used to be wi
That they know bad things about him. Good reason to keep really really really good files. You never no who will end up being president of the large western country. Adam davidson, reporter for the new yorker. Now time for last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening. Good evening, rachel. Boy am i glad ive never done business in russia. Doesnt that all sound obvious when you hear it that of course it would work that way. Well and the fact the thing i have learned from adam davidsons reporting at the new yorker is you dont have to be perfect but you do have to look to see if you are really obviously doing dirty business with people who Everybody Knows are dirty. And it doesnt matter if thats okay in their country. It is not okay in the united
states if youre an American Company or american businessman doing that. Just willful refusal to look and recognize dirt you are wallowing in, thats enough to get nailed in this country under our lawes. And it is absolutely not okay if youre a Bus
Have ultimately been a decision that two men came to at the same time. Whether or not there was some thought, and if there was not consider about making the administrations life and the president s life more difficult, he might have been left it. Kelly was said to have delivered the news. It is unclear and unknown, its a wild card. He goes outside independently. Steve bannon is now a household name. There is people that will be
upset that he left this white house. I talked to a bannon ally earlier this week. They said we had a sense this is coming and we look at this white house now and we see new york democrats and generals. That is not what we worked for in 2016. Steve bannon is the leader of a coalition and it remains to be seen. Let me bring in jennifer reuben. The author of the post, so your paper is quoting friends of Steve Bannons assayi saying lo he can help the president s agenda from the outside, that things were not working on the inside. Gabe sherman reports something very
A great health care. Senator tim kane joins me. Then the russia connection. Do you have any doubt that russian interference is driven by putin himself . No doubt. No doubt. None. What the white house still wont admit about russia. The president Doesnt Semiwhat happened. Why . It is pretty clear youre the puppet. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes with Senate Republican Leadership Clinging to their plan to ram through a deeply Unpopular Health care bill, the one person who would be expected to seal the deal, the president of the United States, is only making matters worse. After delaying a key procedural vote yesterday when it failed to earn enough republican support, Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell has not abandoned his strategy of negotiating the bill in
