Surprise he still wont say islamic extremism. Even the New York Times wont say it but he wont say it, it doesnt matter. When im looking at this summit, its kind of a cross between a sociology graduate School Seminar and a Community Organizing workshop. This is not really a serious effort to confront a threat that we face, and i think part of its political correctness. I do think part of it is just dishonesty. I think the message that the president and secretary kerry send is theyre using religion to justify the violence that they already want to commit. I dont think thats an accurate reflection of what motivates these guys. I think theyre motivated by religious ideology, and its because they believe in that ideology that theyre motivated to violence. You know, every single one of these terrorist attacks that weve looked at recently, someone yells something to indicate religion. We here allah right before people are slaughtered. For the life of me i cant understand. We have democrats wh
A big program planned. But first, breaking news with Brianna Keilar. Thanks, michael. The Democratic Party has a brand new chairman and deputy chairman just named in atlanta. And also, this news is breaking here on cnn, the president of the United States breaking with tradition saying he will not attend the white house Correspondents Dinner, which has been a tradition for president s for nearly 100 years. But first the Democratic Party with a new leader. A great american, mr. Tom perez. Former labor secretary tom perez, who got the most votes somewhat narrowly from delegates gathered this weekend in atlanta, perez immediately named the man who trailed him, congressman Keith Ellison as his deputy chairman, his number two. And the residents of the white house certainly watching this leadership election closely. President trump tweeting just a few minutes after perez was announced. He said congratulations to thomas perez who has just been named chairman of the dnc. I could not be happier
What the administration might say, the Opposition Party isnt the media but the Democratic Party, and they are in the worse shape since reconstruck. Today they elect new leadership. Who will be in charge . Plus, one of americas premiere public high schools plans a seminar about racial civil rights and gets attacked for supplying in one critics words racial indoctrination. Cant we all just get along . And it is oscar weekend, so heres my prediction, that we will surely hear some political speeches from hollywoods elite, and ill ask the hamilton actor who confronted Vice President pens last fall if he thinks such grandstanding helps or hurts their cause . Plus, one cnn viewer had harsh words for me this week, and i shall reply to mr. Rush limbaugh. But first, despite his repeated attacks on the media and this network, President Trump apparently thinks that im fair. I hope that remains his view at the end of this commentary. Last saturday i hosted christopher ruddy, the ceo of news max and
The impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of abuse of power . We three are unanimous. The weak defense of the president from the republican witness. If you prove a quid pro quo, you might have an Impeachable Offense. And what happens next in the impeachment process. Plus new reporting that the president s lawyer is still meeting with a ukrainian prosecutor. And as the whole world watches impeachment unfold, how the Trump Administration just kicked hundreds of thousands of americans off of food stamps. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Just over an hour ago the first impeachment hearing conducted by the House Judiciary Committee ended after nearly nine hours of testimony. Today we got the best, most elevated version of the debate about one of the most serious things that congress is empowered to do next to declarations of war the possible impeachment of a president. The Judiciary Committee hosted four legal scholars and experts. Three were called
President. Good thursday morning, everybody. It is december 5th, im yasmin vossoughian, and after another consequential day in washington we are happy to have nbc White House Correspondent jeff bennet filling in. You must be incredibly tired. I watched you through the entire day yesterday and saw your point of view. Just powering through.

Watch this. If we cannot impeach a president who abuses his advantage for personal advantage we no longer live in a democracy. We live in a monarchy, or we live under a dictatorship. Thats why the framers created the
