have the courage to do what needed to be done? i do. what was your reaction when you saw this tweet? as a staffer that works to always represent the administration to the best of my ability and to showcase the good things he had done for the country, i remember feeling frustrated, disappointed and really it felt personal. i was really sad. as an american, i was disgused. it was unpatriotic, it was un-american. we were watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie. it was something that was really hard in that moment to digest knowing what i ve been hearing down the hall, the conversations that were happening, seeing that tweet come up and knowing what was happening on the hill. and it s something that i still struggle to work through the emotions of that. again, it was a 24-year-old aide to the white house chief of staff who was disgusted. it was a 24-year-old aide to the white house chief of staff who said this was un-american, not the alleged leaders of our c
problematic because of where we get the components for them. they have a chance to vote to make that situation better. so let s give them a chance to put their money where their mouth is or put their vote where their mouth is and in the meantime that will reduce the deficit. it is earned praise from economists, people who aren t always supportive of the administrative policy coming together to say yes, this is good legislation and border line no-brainer territory and in washington that means at best we re hoping for it to pass with 50 votes which is exactly what we think it is on track to do. we are live at the top of our fourth here on morning joe. just after 9:00 on the east coast, 6:00 a.m. out west. we re talking to transportation secretary pete buttigieg. mr. secretary. speaking of major legislation, it was just nine months ago that the united states senate passed and president biden signed that $1 trillion infrastructure package that you pushed so hard to get throug
Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. Youre defending Michael Coman . No, what im saying you cant have it both ways. You cant say for a year and a half this is about russian collusion and i was part of the Successful Campaign of this man who won fairly and squarely as you well know. I disagree with your assessment. Tell me because its patently untrue. We dont promise the audience an outcome. You have to respect the democratic process. I think he won the electoral college, and that means hes president of the United States. Thank you very much. Hes your president , too. You need to show respect to the president. We cant even get our agenda covered on cnn thats not true. We cover it all the time. The truth matters. Thats what we sell to our odd krns because thats the only reason we have a job. The truth is you lied about this. You knee about what Michael Cohen was doing with these women

So this is important point because i think a lot of people are really scared after the
rosensteins people to come out and say, he expects to be fired. His people were putting that out to what end, we dont know at this point but cer
