to catch up, the surges in new york city. the warning signs are everywhere we may be woefully unprepared for what s to come. cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the united states have surged in the past two weeks just as a highly transmissible but unknown severity omicron variant takes hold. overall covid cases are spiking in new york and test positivity rates are rising at a pace city health officials say they ve never seen before. at the white house, a dire warning from the president and his team that a hellish winter is coming for the millions of americans who haven t heated the warnings. i want to send a direct message to the american people. due to the steps we ve taken, omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would have otherwise done and as happened in europe. but it s here now and it s spreading, and it s going to increase.
economics at a good school knows this is dumb. that s not winning this communications challenge. what is going to win it is when we say listen, we know you re hurting, but here s a better way to go. i know the market is a powerful issue to him. he can brag about the good market. he can crash it. he can t do both. the fact is i do worry we are falling into another trump trap here where we go running around, talking about how protecting the u.s. steel industry is a bad thing. we should think about that before we say it. we could make the point is he going to be able to continue this narrative through next friday like he said he ll have some final decision by next friday. if he could successfully carry any theme over the course of the week, given the chaos of late, the chaos since day one. but i do think that s an important point to consider, that this is yet another political frisbee he s tossing out there and it resonates with millions of americans who
election in 2016. okay, evan, i want to ask you, nbc is reporting robert mueller gathering a case to charge another group of russians, yes, they won t get turned over, but associated with the hacking of democrats e-mails in 2016. sources are telling us that mueller has sufficient evidence for these charges. does that go exactly to the congressman s point? mueller is trying to look for something much bigger than who is chitchatting in trump tower. look, i think what mueller s doing is he s showing that there were crimes committed perhaps by russians in the case of the 13 that were already indicted for the propaganda activities online. and likely in the case of the hacking part of this. he s going to indict people, perhaps russians to begin with, to show there were crimes committed. and then he s going to draw the connections to americans who may have collaborated, may have been involved, some of them unwittingly perhaps, others, we
reassuring americans that trade wars are good and, quote, easy to win. no, sir, they re not. grid lock on guns. as the president dines with leaders of the nra, congress, still at a standstill. admitting they ve got zero plans, zero, to vote on guns. i m going to watch actions instead of words. untangling the web. how a prominent russian politician used his ties to the nra to gain deeper access to american politics and of course our politicians. all right, you know what i m going to begin with. president trump s call for new tariffs which is drawing major criticism from around the globe. and while the u.s. and international markets have been tanking on fears of a trade war, this president said today that trade wars are good and they re easy to win. that is 100% false. i have a great team here to break all of it down. first, i want to explain for you exactly what s going on here. this is something that the president, he s been talking
because this whole system is so brilliant internationally, why isn t it working for so many americans? they want it blown up. that s not a bug, it is a feature of this president. he s smart enough to remember that. if he starts following gary cohen around, he s not the guy who won the presidency. so some of us who actually care about this, who actually who actually believe in addressing these issues, not just exploiting them, have to fill that gap or we will keep getting beat by this guy. i am tired of i want to drive it, not ride it. and right now we re all riding the trump bus on this. okay, but then is he a super genius? if that upstate new york voter who is loyal to him who trusts him, if they re not leaving the bus, but now put yesterday aside, you saw president trump, listen, he was mocked by the davos crowd a year ago. last summer when jared and ivanka went to the allen and company conference out in sun valley, people were trash talking them right and left until they showe
