President elect has nominated Ardent Obamacare critic tom price, a republican congressman from the state of georgia, Congressman Price is very tight with paul ryan, this is according to the House Speaker himself. Here is speaker ryan on local talk radio. What im excited about is tom price who is a very close friend of mine. Tom price is one of the architects of replacing obamacare, of fixing health care. Hes a surgeon, he knows how the law works and hes been the most passionate advocate for patientcentered Health Care Reforms that ive seen in congress and im really excited he is now going to be the quarterback, the point person in the new administration on reforming health care. So that was speaker ryan and as donald trump is adding to his cabinet, hes also making headlines again for one of his tweets. This is what he wrote nobody should be allowed to burn the
the momentum our campaign got in the last two weeks of the campaign i think was largely due to the fact that those obamacare pr
Lewis was all talk and no action, news came out that he plans to spend Martin Luther king day tomorrow visiting the new Smithsonian Museum focused on africanamerican history and culture. John lewis is the one who introduced the bill to get that museum built in 1988. Eugene, you touch on this. I want to push forward on it as well. Facts do matter. Trump called lewis District Crime i hridden which does incl major part of the city of atlanta. No one is defining there is crime in the city. To try to define an entire city in 140 characters of less is a massive overgeneralization. What will happen when he is in office saying these type of things . Well, if he continues this,
he can expect to be criticized increasingly but more than that, people really would like to see what his solutions to the problems he arises are. He had a meeting with talk show host, steve harvey, and his Hud Secretary nominee friday saying they would focus on some of the challenges in inner cities such as housing. If y
Presenti prerogative. Calling for genocide of all jews is celebrating this decision. And celebrating it because it distances the chances of peace. Reporter we pitch pushed is on this decision that the u. S. Was behind it from the beginning. They have not put any evidence forward. In fact, saying in an odd twist, they will provide it to the next administration after this is out of office. Mean while, Obamas Administration going on television to defend their decision. By definition, this is not an ambush when President Obama and secretary kerry have been saying in hundreds of conversations and Public Comments that Israeli Settlement activity was pushing into the west bank in a way that was making the twostate solution unachievable. Netanyahu has made it clear he is not backing down. Last night, he called his
because im con iffdent if i f i had run again and articulated it, i think i could have mobile ey a majority of the American People. Trump said he should say that but i say no way. Jo
Plus literally dialing up the rhetoric. President trump and president putin set to talk as counterpart tomorrow. But whos calling who . Keir simmons in new york, Kristen Welker at the white house. Big meeting today, big phone call tomorrow but its the meeting thats not happening thats grabbing all the headlines, right . Thats right. That meeting that was supposed to happen with the president of mexico which was cancelled yesterday after President Trump insisted that mexico was going to pay for the wall, the president of mexico said not going to pay for the wall. That is something we have heard him say over and over again. Then we learned he cancelled the meeting. President trump tried to cast it as a mutual decision. Bottom line, this is a rift in a relation with one of the United States closest allies, its Third Largest Trading Partner. What happens next . The administration floating the idea of a possible 20 tax on imports from mexico and, hallie,
for a very busy day. Keir simmons is
About mexico, here is President Trump announcing the cancellation of his meeting with the mexican president in philadelphia today. The president of mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next week. Unless mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless and i want to go a different route. We have no choice. So david, was this sort of a mutual agreement, a mutual cancellation, or do you think that the mexican president pulled the plug . I think that the mexican president pulled the plug, and he did that because donald trump frankly put him in a corner. He kept in a tweet sort of pushing mexico saying you know you have to pay for the wall. I think nieto has to worry about his own political audience, mexicans were outraged, angry at
him for months, if we talk this way to china, chinese are not going to stand for china backing down. This is very different from a Business Deal where youre bluffing. Foreign
