Probably a bad idea, that this is not going to work out well for mcinty or for a lot of other people who may be unfairly targeted as being disloyal to the president. And so this has the potential to be a very disruptive across the federal government. Brooke, when you put this aside next to what has been, you know, going on for the last couple of weeks, you know, the president has talked about he wants to unload people who have been disloyal to him, people like Alexander Vindman who was shown the door a couple of weeks ago. You have mick mulvaney, the white house chief of staff. He was at oxford earlier this week talking about the deep state and how there are elements inside the administration who arent sufficiently loyal to the president , and then of course you have peter navarro, the president s trade advisory who has apparently been on the hunt for the author of that scathing oped about the president , the socalled anonymous writer, and you add it all up, and it does appear to be a
There is action on the hill today with a newly elected House Minority leader nancy pelosi answering questions here. [ inaudible [ inaudible ] reporter im sorry, i thought we were going to hear from nancy pelosi. She went through a difficult reelection and is taking questions from reporters now. One of the points she made is she says democrats are coming together after their fractious vote for leadership. And will be unified. She points out they are now in a different position with president obama in office. They were a part of the administration in the sense of being of the same party. They were partners in that way. Now they will be the opposition party. Therefore she says unity is essential. Thats important for trying to bring the team together. As you know, theres been a move within the democratic ranks to say new leadership, perhaps younger leadership should be elected in part because they have had a series of house seat losses over the last couple of elections. Is that time to cha
Road after going toetotoe with the press in a press conference yesterday. Listen. Us before im here today to update the American People on the incredible progress that has been made in the last four weeks since my inauguration. Weve made incredible progress. I dont think theres ever been a president elected in this short period of time was done what weve done. Im here following from what we pledged to do. I put it out before the American People, this administration is running like a fine tuned machine. Despite the fact that i can get my cabinet approved. Their upstanding people. Meghan the president s comments. Speak out we are living in a world according to trump, and that News Conference was a remarkable display of this president. If you he simply continues to e in this kind of personal attack, counterattack with the press, this reality tv kind of presentation, what i worry about, is that not enough time is going to be focused on the real crises and of real threats that this country
Ambassador, you had a very receptive team when it came to the russians. Anonymous sources leaking to try and smear the president. Nobody dies because they dont have access to health care. 13 men are deciding the future of American Health care. There is not one woman at the table to represent more than half the population of this country. This health bill would be devastating for women. Women would be denied coverage because of situations that are unique to them. Its an effort to kill off planned parenthood. If the bill passed today, thousands of americans would die. The senate is looking forward to getting it and i think were going to have some really great health care. I hope theres some sunshine wherever youre waking up this morning. Good morning. Im christi paul. Im Victor Blackwell and we begin with the major news out of france. The leading french president ial candidate says hes been hacked on the eve of their election, but we should say that russia is denying any involvement. The
The legal team may try to paint mike flynn as not trustworthy. If he accuses the president of behaving badly. Msnbcs Garrett Haake is here in west palm. Garrett, fill us in on whats happening here. I know youve been reporting this out this morning as well. Reporter sure. The Washington Post has been if Michael Flynn were to roll over on the president or other Senior Administration officials, the Washington Post sources say the response would be to try to discredit him, paint Michael Flynn as a liar, an untrustworthy person. The white house attorney, john dowd, has been pushing back at this report calling it complete nonsense and more fake news. On the one hand, it would make sense. Youve got Michael Flynn who admitted to the fbi as part of his deal with the special prosecutors office. On the other hand, youve got comment after sympathetic comment from the president himself all on tape. Listen. Well, i feel badly for general flynn. I feel very badly. Hes led a very strong life.
