That the president sold it on a basis that was not true has undermined the foundation of his second term. I think its rotting it away. Wait, theres a little bit more, the Washington Post obtaining an internal memo that shows an outside Health Adviser warning of trouble ahead for the rollout. Telling the administration, quote, i do not believe the relevant members of the administration understand the president s vision or have the capability to carry it out. Looking back, people are going to be scratching their heads for years going how did they make this mistake . So how do mistakes like this happen inside the west wing . Well, look, i think thats a fairly devastating story. Joining me now is democratic congressman jerry nadler from new york. I want to get your reaction from this from the Washington Post article in which it says a 2008 obama Health Campaign adviser puts the rollout this way. They were running the biggest startup in the world and they didnt have anyone who had run a sta
Spring before the hot dog days of summer and could involve up to 25,000 iraqi troops. Meanwhile here at home a 19yearold man from minneapolis has been indicted for allegedly trying to help isis. He was pulled off a plane in turkey. And he was in november while trying to fly to turkey to get into syria. So whats in a religions name . Nothing if youre president obama, who is not backing down from criticism he refuses to use terms like islamic extremism while discussing the threat from Islamic State militants. And he doubled down yesterday during a speech at the state department. Once again, stating that the use of that type of rhetoric only helps feed isis recruits and additional fighters. Obviously there is a complicated history between the middle east the west and none of us, i think, should be immune from criticism and terms of specific policies but the notion that west is at war with islamism is an ugly lie. All of us regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. One o
A lot to talk about. A Senior Administration official tells nbc news, President Trump is serious about his tuesday night threat of shutting down the government unless the spending bill includes funding for a wall along the mexican border. The president made a similar threat last spring, but relented on a shortterm funding bill to avoid a shutdown at the end of his first hundred days. This as the white house repeatedly dodged whether or not the president had abandoned his Campaign Pledge that mexico would pay for the wall. Sarah, the president promised over and over again during the campaign that mexico would pay for the wall. So why is he now threatening a Government Shutdown if Congress Wont pay for it . The president is committed to making sure this gets done. Matthew . Why is he threatening a shutdown over paying for it . Again, he said over and over again, he talked about the campaign, over and over again. He said, mexico is going to pay for the wall. He asked people, his crowds ch
I havent read them either. A cold reading for both of us. Read it out . Carter page, a good carter page. I want to marinate myself in all 243 pages before i decide which part i want to play. Okay. But, you know, you have got carter page down. That is that is so good. Its the hair, i know. Yeah. Thank you, rachel. Thank you, lawrence. Well, a week ago at this hour we registered some real surprise that former National Security adviser Michael Flynn not among the first three publicly announced people to be indicted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller, one of whom pleaded guilty because Michael Flynn obviously broke the law. Theres absolutely no doubt about that. He did not register as a Foreign Agent working on behalf of the turkish government in the Trump Campaign in 2016 and that is a felony. Punishment can include prison time. The government doesnt you believely prosecute these cases when it seems to have just been an oversight. Government can be kind of understanding about that. But
The United States, starting to see local officials like where i live in western massachusetts, puerto rican communities throughout and local initial officials and state officials in massachusetts taking an issue and governor of new york taking an interest and large number of Puerto Ricans living in new york. Its a hopscotch thing depending on where they are in this country. But in terms of the u. S. Federal response to taking care of this problem, were really far into this for there to be 40 of households with Running Water and 0 power. Thats this response is something is not working here. And the whole world is watching. And puerto rico historically has had an image issue with the world. Fidel castro used to taunt puerto rico calling it telling them youre a colony, just an american colony and they would insist, no, we have rights and citizenship and this is what we want. We want commonwealth and not statehood and castro saying when you need them they wont be there and so much at stake
