Firmly against article five. Kristin fisher is live in warsa warsaw. President trump is on the ground in germany, just an hour away from these meetings with chancellor angela merkel. They differ on several key issues, trade, immigration, his decision to pull out of the cap paris climate accord, but in his speech, President Trump said something that chancellor merkel is going to light, something that he noticeably left out from his speech at the nato summit about a month ago. Here it is. We urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and its support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. And to instead join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself. That commitment to article five is exactly what germany and poland want to hear, but its the exact opposite of what russia wants. We are not just one day away from President Trumps first facetoface meeting with Vladimir Putin. We still
We are hearing from secretary of defense jim mattis for the First Time Since President Trumps fire and fury remarks tuesday from his golf club in new jersey. In a statement, general mattis says, in part, the United States and our allies, they have demonstrated capabilities and unquestionable commitment to defend ourselves from an attack.

Hate crimes against minorities have increased for the second consecutive year, with an additional 300 incidents reported by the fbi. The lions share of the victims, mostly africanamericans being targeted for their racial or ethnic identities.

And in 2015, 90 of them reported that no such incidents had occurred in their jurisdictions. This begs an even more troubling question. Four months after the violence we saw in charlottesville, virginia, is the threat of racial hatred actually being

The Opioid Crisis is an emergency and im saying officially right now sit an emergency. Its a national emergency. Were going to draw it up and make it a national emergency.
