Agencies. Take this tweet from just the past week. Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with meddling in our election. I guess thats what happens when the president gets played by an adversary. And an increasingly emboldened president resists the advisors and experts we once hoped would serve as guardrails against his impulses. Editorial board at the Washington Post warns we are on dangerous ground. Either mr. Trump has lost touch with the central u. S.

Joining me now, felipe rays, and susan del percio, republican strategist and msnbc political analyst. Susan, let me go to yo
Would come to the table and negotiate something thats fair. If they dont, declare the emergency, build the wall with the United States military because thats what people in this country want. Do you support legislation to end the shutdown once and for all . Well, to modify one of my quotes that usually brings a smile to your face, there certainly would be no education in the third kick of the mule. You just have to have a plan so that you accomplish something by it and then reopen it. And i dont think, given that it went 35 days, we had a plan. In politics we call that getting rolled. Do you support a medicare bill for all . I believe it will eliminate private insurance. For people who like their insurance, they dont get to keep it . Listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care. To replace the entire private system, where companies provide health care for their employees would bankrupt us for a very long time. Is health care a fundamental right for every american . Yes
Frankly, it would have been much higher than 3 . And the stock market is as high its been would have been at least probably anywhere from 7 to 10,000 points higher. But they happened to raise interest rates. Youll explain that to me. Cnn White House Correspondent Katelyn Collins is in tokyo, and she joins us now. And katelyn, the president clearly setting a tone by talking trade and the fed right out of the gate. Reporter yeah, martin, this was supposed to be a trip focused on ceremony here and the newly crowned emperor. But you could see what was on the president s mind as soon as he touched down in tokyo. And that was of course the potential trade deal the president had kind of predicted he could secure during this trip, but now Officials Say thats unlikely, and instead focusing on the ceremony during this trip.
