i want to bring back our panel to discuss what we just heard from the president as he made his case to try to reopen the government. simone, we were talking to you right before the president s remarks. this deal as we knew it at the time wasn t fair, even though dems would get temporary protections for dreamers and the president would get funding for a small portion of his wall. did anything you heard change your mind? it did not. the government is shut down, because donald trump went back on his original deal. the senate passed an appropriations deal that did include border security, it did not include money for his wall. when donald trump signaled he changed his mind and now he wants money for the wall, the republican led house in 2018 decided not to take up the bill. when democrats gained control of
s settlement to keep stormy daniels quiet. and how does the fcc go about finding out if that is part of the campaign money or rereimburse and nobody has said that publicly, but trying to distinguish if the campaign money is used and how is that discovered and the attorney for stormy daniels even challenges the treasury department, and the president to get to the bottom of this suspicious activity repo report as a result of the whole transaction and help us to navigate all of that. well, we know that there are complaints filed with the elections trade commission, and the question is how far they will go. this is a republican led house, senate and white house, so we don t know if they are going if going to the limits of investigating. they have tremendous power. they can subpoena the records and we can find out the entire e-mail chain happening between michael cohen and the former attorney for stormy daniels, ap we can find out whether that
uss fitzgerald made mistakes that led to the collision and that a number of people should have spoken up. a philippine cargo vessel slammed into the ship, ripping a hole in the star board side causing several compartments to flood. the investigation into the crash is ongoing. rick: lawmakers working on a bill to replace more sanctions on russia and limit the president s ability to rollback any of these penalties. that is likely to be pushed forward by the g.o.p. led house despite plenty of pushback from the white house. garrett cheney s live from d.c. this is one piece of legislation that seems to have bipartisan support. congress wants to send a for messing with our elections. this had an overwhelming bipartisan support. there is a lot of concern about can support that they could put
spare. they needed 216. got 217. it tells you that some of those members who were on the fence and said to the leadership, i ll be there if you need me but i don t want to, didn t have to and clearly didn t want to which tells you something. but let s just take a step back and remind everybody that, you know, elections have consequences and this is such a stark example. how many times have i been walking these halls, have you been covering the house of representatives, the republican led house during the last years until president trump got in and they would vote on repealing obamacare over and over and over, knowing it was just symbolic. well now they did it. in a way that it has real consequences. let s go to the senate and that s a very big challenge and have to mesh the bills and get it to the president. it s the first step that they never could dine way that they thought there was light at the end of the tunnel before.
are a strong people. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the worst kept secret in washington is finally out. ever since john boehner and the gop led house in a largely party line vote formed the select committee on benghazi, all the way back in may of 2014, republicans have insisted that benghazi committee was a nonpartisan effort to get to the truth behind the attacks that left four americans dead. they have taken umbrage at the notion that the committee had anything do with politics. this was all about getting to the truth. there is not going to be a side show. there is not going to be a circus. this is a serious investigation. i have said from day one, i want this to transcend politics and i want it to inspire trust in you and our fellow citizens. what we need are facts. the american people deserve the truth about what happened, and that s all we re interested in. i think the american people have a right to know the truth, and i think
