This is cand right now, lobster. Were serving up more delicious crab than ever. Classic favorites like crab lovers dream. And new dishes like southern king crab and dueling crab legs with delicious dungeness and sweet snow crab. Its all happening at crabfest. And crabfest is only happening at red lobster. Now this is seafood. Good morning, everyone. Im alex witt here at msnbc headquarters. A new day dawns after a shakeup. No reaction. Im not going to respond to it. Im not going to get into the mud on those sorts of things. There is at least one subject he is not willing to talk about, perhaps the biggest part. I said please dont be too nice. Like when you people put somebody in the car and youre protecting the head ares in remarks we have some new reaction today from white house political advisers on the ousting of Reince Priebus as chief of staff. Some are hoping john kelly will bring discipline and order to the west wing. Many of us are excited about this new infusion of energy and d
So we have a lot going on, but its hard to break through on those types of issues if were talking about the latest the latest drama in the white house. Meanwhile, there are reports that the ousting of Reince Priebus and the installation of general john kelly as chief of staff may be part of a bigger plan. Republicans and conservatives that came to Jeff Sessions defense this week all said but hes doing the best on the issue we care about the most and that is immigration. Well, where can Jeff Sessions do even more on immigration . As the secretary of homeland security. So i think that what theyre going to try to do is to hes playing chess send him over to dhs and how can the conservatives complain. Then you have a new a. G. He thinks can then fire mueller. But heres what senator al franken told me just a short time ago and why he would like sessions to reappear before the Senate Judiciary committee. It would be since those statements that he made where he said he had not had communicatio
Perspective, according to him. With the exception of the late great abraham lincoln, i can be more president ial than any president thats ever held this office. That i can tell you. Thats a wow. All right. We begin today with the senate gaggling in 30 minutes from now but thats pretty much the only sure thing on the schedule today. Republicans think they have a plan to get rid of obamacare, but as always, the devil is in the details. Youre in luck, weve got a great team here to break all of it down, starting with msnbcs Garrett Haake live on the hill. Garrett, nobody knows honestly. Nobody knew how complicated it was. Nobody knows how this thing is going to ends. Where exactly do we stand right now . Its going to get more complicated before it gets less complicated. There was a big vote that happened last night on the better care reconciliation act. This was the repeal and replace combo plan that weve been talking about for weeks. Last night that died on the senate floor. Nine republic
Special counsel robert mueller. Putting the president on notice that there will be a, quote, significant consequence. These truly are red lines. Would be a gross abuse of power. And diplomatic dilemma . President trump threatens to cut off american aid to other countries ahead of that key vote at the u. N. Considering the u. S. Embassy in israel. Ambassador Nikki Haley Says the administration is taking names. Jerusalem is the capital of israel. We begin today with the tax bill and what the president calls that big beautiful tax cut which he could sign into law as early as tomorrow, putting a notch in the win column, after what has been a very rough year for him and his party. Ive got a great team with me to help break it all down. And more importantly, what it means to all of you at home. I want to go to Nbcs Kristen Welker live at the white house where there was a lot of celebrating yesterday to say the least, kristen. I think we thought there was probably going to be a News Conferenc
Allegations. Three quarters of frankens democratic colleaguings are now calling for him to resign. Interestingly, most republicans sitting this one out. Trust me, i got questions today. I want to start with msnbcs Garrett Haake live on the hill. Do we know for sure what franken will say . Can he throw a carve ball here . It seems unlikely. In fact, last night, his office used twitter to push back pretty hard at the idea that he had made any specific decision about what he was going to do today. Saying only that he would speak on this today. And he was still in conversations with his family and his colleagues about figuring out the pathway forward. But also make no mistake, it could be very, very difficult if he were to decide he would hang on to this seat, having completely lost the support of his caucus.
