Until he died too in 2008. But for all the problems that guinea has had as a country, for all that all the challenges it has struggled through, guineas Natural Resources have not really been a help thus far. Yes, they do have the Worlds Largest untapped deposits of iron ore but that has not necessarily turned out to be a good thing for them. Mostly what it has turned out to be for them is a scandal and a crime. And now that part of it is becoming part of our president ial politics here in america. Reporter Jesse Drucker has a remarkable piece that just posted this afternoon in the New York Times. Its about more potentially criminal trailing ends that seem to have followed our new first family into their new lives in the white house. And although a lot of that story is about this remote west african country of guinea, my favorite part of the story actually takes place in jacksonville, florida. At the jacksonville, florida, airport. Just a few years ago, 2013, the widow of one of the pas
Network of russian television. It is a part of the russian government. As a flag officer retired, he was not able to receive any kind of compensation from a Foreign Government. Thats what set this off today. So when sean spicer, the White House Press secretary, was taken questions, there were plenty about flynn. One of the things he said was that the trump team had not needed to seek security clearance for retired general flynn because he already had it. He had a fiveyear security clearance that carried with him so he didnt need to put a whole new list of things for that process. That means it was under the Obama Administration. The implication was that somehow the trump team of today was saying the Obama Administration should have looked more carefully about flynn and his financial dealings and any contacts or conflicts we had the rules with respect to his russia visit. So heres how sean spicer tried to explain the fact flynn had clearance and didnt need a new one. General flynn was a
Congressional district and so they came to tom mcarthurs office to tell him what a terrible thing that would be to try to change his mind on supporting that and they could not have been nicer when they did it, but they also gave his congressional staffers stuff, physical stuff that the staffers definitely did not want. And that i bet they had no idea what to do with once they hauled it back into the back room. And we feel that it is a very, very poor representation of the constituents in his district because we do not agree with his actions. We will pass this on then. Please do. Were going to give this all to you. 25 feet of letter. You can find a nice big file to put that in. Will do. Okay. And we also have a gift of 36 balloons, and the 36 balloons, each balloon represents a thousand people that will lose coverage under the Affordable Care act if the amendment is enacted and its filled with con fete ty. Each representing the people that will lose coverage. So we present this to you.
Yesterday. If le pen and far left candidate are the two top vote getters. Emmanuel macron. I love when you speak spanish, even the words flow it was a good day. Ultimately structurally in terms of french politics, what a revolution. Explosion. First time since 1965 you didnt have somebody from center right or center left. This seems to be french people saying, fine, well have your Political Revolution but were going to do it in a way that doesnt completely uproot french tradition. I think youre almost certainlily right. Two weeks before the final round, the establishment has already begun to rally around Emmanuel Macron. So the markets we s up a couple hundred points, they would have bun down a hell of a lot more. New york times, we have no idea because were americans, but ugly americans, isolated, le pen gets 5 of the tally in paris but actually cleans up in the south of france. The story of two frances. All right. Yeah. Explain that to me during the break. Mika not there stimulating
Family and culture in crisis, jd, lets get right to you, showing the president has a dismalratine rating, showinge is at 44 , is this why were seeing a white house scramble . Obviously not good news for the president. Not only scrambling its jd. Im sorry. Yeah. Well like you said, don, its definitely not good news for the president so far. I dont know if i describe them as scrambling for a win, but the problem with his Approval Ratings is it doesnt give him any solid way to govern. You have to negotiate from a position of strength and its hard to do that when youre at a 4445 Approval Rating. David, since youre ready to go, this is for you, this poll shows that 66 of americans think the president has done a poor job of putting together a team of top advisers, 50 of the public doesnt think he is keeping his Campaign Promises. What does it say . Is he a dealmaker in chief or the dealmaker he promised out on the campaign trail . Well, first of all, don, he has been slow on making appointme
