A news show featuring the top headlines of the day from pop culture to politics, which are discussed by a rotating panel of four women and one man. Lets go to doug mcelway, live with the news with a. Great to see you. Brittian had long ago come to the conclusion that russia used a nerf agent to poison the two. It was only yesterday that the State Department officially concurred, promising to impose new sanctions. The sanctions will take effect later this month and are believed to include denying russian licenses for the purposes of exports among other things. The any sanctions follow the Trump Administration order last march to expand 60 russian diplomats, the largest expulsion in history and close the russian consulate in washington.

An hour from now. This, of course, comes against the backdrop of more disturbing developments regarding the spread of coronavirus. Overseas, countries are taking dramatic action to stop the spread. A chunk of northern italy now on lockdown for the next month. Im talking about 16 Million People, a region the size of our west coast. Saudi arabia and qatar cut off travel to multiple countries that have reported infections. Back here in the United States, much of the debate is focused on clear and transparent communication. On the day the president appointed Vice President mike pence to be in charge of this effort, he said we had 15 cases and the number would soon go to zero. So where are we now . The number of cases in the United States is now well over 500. 22 people have died. Cases have been confirmed in nearly three dozen states, plus washington, d. C. That number includes 21 people who have been diagnosed with the coronavirus aboard the grand princess cruise ship. That ship will dock
Reince priebus and also don mcgahn been things they talked to mueller about. That strikes me as a bad idea. Im not a lawyer. What do you say . Its a terrible idea. And if i was the president s lawyer i would have firmly advised him to have no contact with any witnesses particularly about the topic of their conversations with mueller and his team. So the signals to us that the president likely is a very uncontrollable client. It doesnt really rise at least the reporting that weve seen about these limited conversations to any sort of new evidence of obstruction per se. It is still just not something you want to see your client doing when hes the subject of an investigation like this. And barbara, it raises the question we have reporting about tooing about if the president s making a habit of this. Yeah, and i think that one concern is number one what are they talking about . Is he gathering information so he can coordinate the testimony of other witnesses or himself and it also raises th
A little bit volatile. Thats the word to use, right . Thats like down 500 at one point . Steep drop. I went out, i went and you know did my tilling in the garden.

With us we have former treasury official and morning joe economic analyst Steve Rattner to explain what happened yesterday. He knows everything about it. Im sure he is, what happened and whats going to happen. Hes going to tell us exactly what we should do. President of the counsel on forng relations and author of the book a world in disarray richard haas. A associate editor of commentary magazine, noah rothman and National Political reporter Heidi Przybilla is with us and Pulitzer Prizewinning historian john meechum. Could be another highly volatile day for the market. Stocks fell sharply. The numbers were stunning. The dow shed 1500 points. The index fell below the 25,000 mark. Erasing all of its gai
And at the left melts down over Brett Kavanaughs nomination to the Supreme Court, runaway judges are striking fresh blows against the trump agenda. Plus, is california senator Kamala Harris the female obama in waiting . We are going to debate that with someone who ran in her california circle and knows her well. How President Trump plans to use America First to make a big splash at tomorrows nato summit. First, kavanaugh, democrats, and dinosaurs. That is the focus of tonights angle. Watching the reaction of democrats to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the high court is likely to give you ulcers. Their anger and unhinged rants are one part dystopian drama, one part plain old sour grapes. Kavanaugh, a federal judge was occupied the bench for over a dozen years and written hundreds of decisions, is a man who was really scary because he coaches his daughters Basketball Team and volunteers in soup kitchens. Now hes being derided as a total monster because of how he might rule on abort
