Quoting too much baggage. Brian, what more is he saying . Very interesting word in the statement. This breaking the past few minutes. Not a total surprise, because this program the prentice became pretty political, maybe a victim of political polarization, the show was known for that famous saying youre fired it seems to be arnold saying i quit. But his statement, i loved working with nbc and mark bernett. He said i would love to work on a show that doesnt have this baggage, well, President Trump criticizing him while on the show, and the protests from antitrump groups and that might be some of the baggage arnold was talking about.

The er. But we begin with this breaking news. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is in moscow tonight and the burning question, will he meet with russian president Vladimir Putin or not . Tillerson said he would meet, but will putin . Meanwhile, more trouble with putin, usa today accusing russia meaning putin on covering up the gruesome attack. Blasting support for Bashar Alassad. I think it is clear to all of us that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. I hope that what the russian government concludes is that they have aligned themselves with an unreliable partner in Bashar Alassad.

This plan being formulated, more power for the generals to determine troops levels. Lets head immediate ly to the white house with hallie jackson, analysis with dana milbank and george will. Hans, let me start with you. Tell us about the plan and how it differs from president obamas strategy. Its namely a directional shift. Obama clearly was winding down the war. He wanted to end up with around 8,400 troops. Thats how many are there, now theres an indication that it will be winding up. Its not a drastic increase. He had a variety of policy reviews when president obama took office, they did more than 30,000 troops for the second surge. One thing we need to be clear, this is still very much in discussion.
