The key in the situation obviously is for us to exercise some restraint. It is tough to watch a flurry of activity. We are fortunate to have sources very close to this investigation. We are getting information as it moves. It is worth taking half a step back because we will get a better understanding of why the authorities are doing what they are doing now. There is a lot of manpower thrown at this. No question about that. However, right now, the entity that is surrounding the suspects is the elite s. W. A. T. Team from the french. It is a combination of the police and the military trained. They are surrounding the area. The reason they are using that Tactical Force is because of what they have seen up to this point. Throughout the night, they had surveillance on the suspects from the sky in helicopters. They believe that the suspects became aware of that. They exited their car. They entered the woods on foot. The authorities took that as a good sign. Common sense tells you it will be
The last week of time the people we talked to, i dont think there was an actual tap of trump tower. I see no evidence that supports the claim that President Trump made that his predecessor had his wires tapped, thus, we see no basis for that whatsoever. Also today the president heads to nashville to shore up support for the house Gop Health Care plan as more republicans warn the measure is in a death spiral. Who leaked trumps 2005 tax returns and why . Are those tantalizing two pages revealed by Rachel Maddow just the tip of the iceberg . We have reporters and analysts here to break it down. While we await the president , lets begin with the big decision on Interest Rates. Its a hike that will affect everything from your credit cards to mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Msnbc chief Business Correspondent and anchor, ali velshi is here. We have learned the worst kept secret has just come true. The Federal Reserve has raised Interest Rates by a quarter of a percent.

Possible ties to russia. First, lets go to Christina Alexi on the Federal Reserve, what do you have . As expected the Federal Reserve did raise Interest Rates a quarter of one percentage point pretty much in line with what all analysts have been expecting an theres good reason for this, brooke. If you look at Economic Data across the board what the fed is looking at, its looking at relatively unemployment. Good job Growth Numbers and Rising Consumer prices so you take that all together the fed is raising rates because it doesnt want to see the economy overheat. What does that mean for the average person . Theyre going to earn more in their savings, account, pay more in mortgage rates, credit cards and home loans and a lot are wondering what kind of impact will this have on the stock market, on their 401 ks and the reality is lets put this into context.

Some of the other things he wants to be talking about a. Part of the president s strategy has been to say there is nothing to see here. Following up on his sons own comments, the meeting didnt come to anything of value for them. Thats very separate than all the issues whether they should have taken the meeting, what the legal ramifications may be, how this brings the issue right to the president s family. Strategically the president is trying to downplay it. Today in a tweet talking about the stockmarket, referred to the russia hoax story. Hoax is certainly an interesting chose of words. He had been doing that long ago. Now there are specific instances where we have family members and those close to those engaged with this meeting and a former Russian Military and counterintelligence officer, hoax seems to be a word that may not be the best choice from the president.
