Something about payoffs and bribes involving countries pulling out all the sleazy stops to host world cup events. Now is it up to the sleazier standard of Domestic Violence embroiled professional football with the likes of ray rice or ray mcdonald or Adrian Peterson . No. Is it in the league of penn states Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal . No or the drug scandal that bedevilled baseball and more than a dozen players over the years . No or the Lance Armstrong doping drama that socked professional cycling . No. Is it any less a black eye part of a losing litany of bigtime players in sports organizations letting fans down bigtime. Particularly young fans our kids who hold so many of the stars and organizations that support them to near idol status. Who explains the constant cheating and game rigging and the avalanche of athletes who dont care about the impression they make as much as the money they make. Some of the guys are getting worse than tv anchors. That is why were opening up wi
Now but later, well do the right thing then. Some republicans are suggesting amending the bill that the Senate Passed and adding spending cuts in that bill. This will have to happen by noon thursday when this Congress Ends and the new one is sworn in or the whole thing starts over again. The sequestration cuts take effect as the tax cuts in fact, they have already taken effect. Thank you. So what do americans think of the job that congress is doing to solve this fiscal crisis . Agoal goal went out to find out. They dont think much of what is going on in the building behind me. We crossed the river into virginia and the fact that the fiscal cliff deal is still not done comes to no surprise from everyone youre about to hear from. We traveled to the north side social in arlington with one goal. We asked people for one word to describe congress. One word you guessed it, nonare flattering. Dysfunctional. Stubborn. Silly. Watching the 112th congress bicker its way through negotiationings lea
Wear masks entering the venue and will not shake hands on stage. Tonights limited audience will also be tested for the virus ahead of the debate. Along with joe, willie, and me, we have former u. S. Senator, now an msnbc political analyst Claire Mccaskill, columnist david ignatius. And historian and professor of the presidency at vanderbilt university, jon meacham. Theres just so much going on between the scotus nominee and senators, some choosing not to meet with her and that going on, the bank records, the tax returns raising so many questions about this presidency and about his interaction on the foreign stage being so deep in debt and whether or not he was exposed in any way as he interacted with World Leaders and who he chose to connect with personally and have friendships with versus others. The whole thing is in question. The New York Times has another piece up late last night that will comb through how much money donald trump made on his name licensing, not as a builder or busi
Hes not yet indicated what measure hes willing to sign. As soon as we figure out what he is for, then i would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels. All of this is happening as protesters gather on capitol hill, at least 82 people demonstrating in support of protecting the d. R. E. A. M. Ers have been arrested. Lets get right to Kelly Odonnell from the white house this afternoon. We just heard from senator Lindsey Graham who said he will not support another continuing resolution to push this government funding debate for another month because he said we can have a daca bill on the president s desk in 24 hours if that is what the goal is. But the question seems to be what is the goal . Reporter well avoiding a Government Shutdown is in everyones interest and the period of leverage is heightened in these waning days until the midnight on friday deadline where you have someone who has been at the seat of the table for Immigration Reform for many years. Not just this itera
Room 5 30. Got nose and two toesies. Told us in the Briefing Room that south korea was going to have a major announcement this evening about north korea. Then we heard what the south koreans had to say. The president tweeting tonight saying quote kim jong un talked about denuclearization with the south korean representative, not just a freeze. Also no missile testing by north korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain in effect until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned. And here is the extraordinary announcement by south koreas National Security advisor Chung Euiyong shortly after 7 00. Take a listen. I thank President Trump that he and his maximum pressure policy together with International Solidarity brought us to this juncture. He expressed his eagerness in meeting President Trump as soon as possible. President trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet kim jong un by may. Now, shortly after that the National Security
