Aid in and survivors out . Reporter well, there are enormous challenges facing both, the aid effort is getting under way. There are plentiful offers of International Help but the actual aid itself is only trickling into the communities who are so desperately in need. The president ial palace aware of the criticism of that said this morning that they were determined. They will get aid to where its needed. They also blame the slow pace of which the aid is being distributed on the sheer scale of the devastation. Now, International Aid organizations we spoke to said while aid was being flown in say to tacloban, a huge problem was distributing from the airport. There are very few vehicles available, which means that they are having to take it in by hand. That presents all sorts of problems, not at least from a law and order point of view and also an issue with storing it away from the airport. That airport as well has been besieged by desperate people, an estimated 3,000 trying to get out. Theyve lost everything. Some of them have been injured. There is no overall evacuation plan. The Philippine Armed forces bringing in aid to that airport have been taking people out where they can but many people are waiting and they are desperate. The government has pledged that more planes and flights will arrive and more airports across the region will open, so more people will have the opportunity to get out commercial flights should begin soon. But for the moment, the situation does remain desperate with very little aid getting in and very few people getting out, krystal. All right, ian williams, thanks again. Lets turn now to the days other big story, disappointing obama care care enrollment numbers, fewer than 50,000 enrolled in october, only a tenth of the goal for the 36 states that are using the federal exchanges. That is slightly better than the 2007 massachusetts enrollment rate that the white house has been comparing itself to. Remember, high enrollment is the key to making this entire law work. With tech issues and glitches, the administration is far off track of its goal of 7 Million People enrolled by the end of march. White house had a word of caution. I cannot confirm those numbers. You know, there have been a variety of reports saying a variety of different things, i have not seen specific figures, but i anticipate that we will be releasing data about enrollment by the end of the week. So lets take it to the bank, Washington Post dana milbank, that is. As our favorite d. C. Cynic. What do you make of these snubz. Im not a cynic, just a little they are disappointing numbers of course, but expectations are so low. If they the fact they made it out of the double digits is going to surprise some folks. But of course, you know, the people are just pouncing at this point. I was on a Conference Call this morning and it was just painful. I think she should after the q and a in there shell qualify for some sort of trauma coverage under obama care. But this is a person who is looking really strong for reelection just couple months ago and upended by this. They have to fix this and fast. The administration wants to spin this, the matters speak for themselves, estimated 500,000 the first month of october. Its well below that, just 50,000 so far. And naturally you have the Insurance Companies and the folks that have already enrolled that are incredibly nervous as we know with low enrollment the premiums could go up, but i want to focus on the political implication. You touched on that a minute ago. Democrats were hoping that obama care would be an advantage for them, leading into midterms, here you have 20 Democratic Senators up for reelection in 2014 and if things dont start picking up on obama care, that could very well be their achilles heel. It could be. Luckily for the democrats, this is a moment in time. If we looked at this a month ago or so, when the shutdown happened, it looked like it would be a disastrous year for the republicans now it looks like it will be a disaster year for the democrats. This could flip back and forth many times between now and then. The problem is its become sort of a selffulfilling thing here, people are seeing these numbers are terrible, persuade more people from signing up and then it becomes more of a fundamental problem with the structure of obama care. Thats the danger right now, this could sort of snowball. Were far away from the snowball, lets move on to talking about 2016. We have the new poll from nbc until 2016. Thank you for clarifying. Live fact checking, thank you very much, krystal ball. Hillary is up on Chris Christie 44 to 34. Why spend the 2 plus billion to do this thing, just give her the presidency now. We dont want to do that whoa. The gop is considering Chris Christie and the dems are dreaming allowed about Elizabeth Warren. They are parallel in that the gop is saying things are not going well, maybe we could move to the left of our side or the moderate part of our side away from the colonel curtz caucus and democrats are saying things are going so well, maybe we could move to the far left. Well, thats right. So weve gotten sort of what a likely matchup could look like but we have a few years to try all other possibilities first. You can be sure both parties are going to do that. The republicans in particular are going to go through this whole mass kiss tick prokt process of going after one person on the extreme right followed by another on the extreme right until they presumably do what they did last time and settle on a guy like christie, who could be a viable candidate in an election. And of course, the democrats are right where we were before the 2008 elections when hillary was once again the inevitable candidate and maybe its obama then was in the position that Elizabeth Warren is in now. Boy, i am still hopeful that we could have that Elizabeth Warren ted cruz matchup. Yeah. That sounds exciting. We would love that too. You know it, dana. Nothing but ratings. It doesnt mean what it means everywhere else in the country. The number of inevitable frontrunners who havent turned out to be nominees let alone president. Im less interested in 2016 as the parlor game as i am in what the warren moment said about the unmet needs of the american electorate or all american citizens. What does it say to you there is some sort of excitement, the article gives some metrics on it that people want something more economically populist. I think theres a lot of disenchantment and you see the numbers not just from republicans and democrats but even even from democrats who feel, look, they rallied behind him during the budget standoff but were back to this position where they dont necessarily know where hes coming from. Theyve been knocked off stride by the problems with the rollout here and you have people having its basically a mirror image of whats been happening in the Republican Party, people saying, maybe if we only got back more solidly to our Core Principles then we would be in a stronger position. Thank you as always. My pleasure. Up next, chop, chop, chop, new budget cuts in effect this month on top of the sequester slashing and make no mistake, people are feeling the pain.

I need your timesheets, larry today msnbc launches a new app that allows subscribers to watch in real time on mobile devices as well. Of course there is a ton of extra digital constant and that includes reporting by susie kim, our relaunched msnbc. Com. Her latest article, how the government sequester cuts are hitting one small town in kentucky. Tell us about this piece. Basically for the story, i traveled to the district of Howell Rogers the chair of the House Appropriations committee, his district is one of the poorest in eastern kentucky, in coal country there. The sequestration cuts are hitting at the worst possible time. Theres a huge jobs crisis there. Thousands of mineers are losing their jobs and having a tremendous Ripple Effect across the economy at a time when the safety net is being undermined because of budget cuts. A lot of republicans are talking about they want smaller government. But its the red and rural states that tend to get more from the government than they give. They are the ones who are getting more. You see this right there, for every dollar they send to d. C. , how much do they get back. Heres a sampling of red rural states getting way more than they are paying in. Thats typical across the nation. I see signs in your piece of classic gop voters saying, wait a minute, there are Government Programs taken away that we can actually use. Theres definitely that feeling. To be sure, theres definitely a strong sense of pride and independence among the unemployed workers i talked to. They dont want to be but i talked to one unemployed minor who said that listen, his wife managed to convince him to accept Unemployment Benefits saying that you pay the taxes in and this is a time in need and ultimately agreed to accept them. I think having this experience on the ground when it happens to your life, to your neighbors life, it becomes Something Different than ab traction of federal spending in washington. Lets break this down a little bit. The first year of cuts were actually not as dire as many people expected because savings for example, the pentagon was using 5 billion in unspent money from previous years. And similar money to avoid for those all together, the reality is you can only break out the piggy bank and spend savings once. Come 2014, we should expect cuts to be far worse. Its definitely the case. The irony is you have folks saying that listen, the sequestration wasnt that bad and all of these scary things that obama was saying didnt happen. But its definitely true that they are only so far that agencies can go in terms of keeping people in Public Housing without having to force them out of their homes. The pentagon says that listen, we were able to blunt the effects of these cuts but we cant do that continuing onward for months and months. So the belt is going to be tightening this next time around unless congress does something about it. And i also think part of the Problem Congress is not hearing or listening to voices to those like youre reporting on in kentucky. We have a situation where economic inequality is increasing, leading to increase political inequality. These folks dont even really have a voice in the process. Do they feel like they are being heard at all . Well, i mean, in the county, Howell Rogers is one of the few republicans who has genuinely stood up and said sequestration is terrible policy and terrible idea. Lets stop it now. And he sort of points to one of these divides you will see more of in which you do have sort of older school more Establishment Republicans like Howell Rogers saying, listen, we should cut back federal spending but lets do it responsibly and not under cut it where it is necessary and sort of more tea party types. I do think that that is a conflict going forward. And i think sort of voters on the ground will have to sort of look at where Republican Party is and decide where they want to push them in the future. I think krystal gets to the heart of it, what is the sort of information eco system around these policy choices and this idea that the sequester is not a big deal, which is taken hold, i hear that from people in washington, just depends on how much money you have and what kind of work youre in. Im wondering if the people you talk to on the ground, the deficit is somewhat intangible idea that has taken hold in the tea party and constricted our policy choices, right, partly because of a well funded campaign to make a big deal out of it. How do you contrast that maybe to what people are hearing on the ground about these costs of the sequester . Well, honestly, sequestration is not necessarily a term that youre sort of average person might be familiar with. Im remember going to doin to the Unemployment Office and there was a sign that said sequestration is cutting your emergency Unemployment Benefits by 10 . No one is looking at the sign filled with all of this jargon in the corner. There is this disconnect between the way we talk about policy in washington and what actually gets through to the american people. And there honestly the Political Energy is more about the coal industry and obamas coal regulations chgs part which is part of this but not the only thing shaping these peoples lives here as much as the gop is clinging to an antiobama message and making sure that gets through. Thats interesting getting your perspective from the ground. Thanks for reporting for msnbc. Com. Thanks for having me on. Up next, another major retailer announces it will be open on thanksgiving xgt whatever happened to a little football and turkey and a nap . Were going to spin as quts the cycle rolls on.

Death toll estimates have been lowered to 2500 but that is little comfort for those packed in makeshift clinics seeking food and water. President obama spoke with the president aquino of the philippines this morning. The u. S. Marines are on the ground in manila. The death of 19yearold mcbride of detroit has been ruled by the medical examiner to be a homicide. She was in a car accident and knocked on a strangers door looking for help and she was shot in the face. The homeowner claims it was an accident and prosecutors have not decided whether to press charges. Caroline kennedy is now ambassador Caroline Kennedy to japan at the state department earlier today. Tonight japans ambassador will welcome kennedy in an event at the japanese embassy. A team of experts confirmed what we already knew, new york is number one on Tall Buildings and urban habitat. This is a thing. Announced one World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States, beat out chicagos willis tower, former sears tower. It stands at 1776 feet tall, commemorating the year we gained our independence. That is your news. Now the spin. Most of us think of the holidays as the most wonderful time of the year. The major retailers think the same thing, that is why they keep trying to move holidays up a little bit earlier and earlier. Walmart became the latest announcing it will open thanksgiving night at 6 00 p. M. They are not the first and certainly will not be the last so where does it end . That may be up to us. And you know, its interesting since walmart announced this and other retailers have announced moving up black friday to thanksgiving day itself, theres been a backlash and its been interesting to me who the backlash has come from. On the one hand its come from liberals upset about the treatment of workers and the fact the workers will be forced to leave thanksgiving dinner and go into work to stock shelves, et cetera. The other backlash has come from the religious right. And evangelical paster said can you leave this one day to family . This conversation could extend broader than just walmarts hours, into the way we treat workers in general. Im wondering if the left is missing a potential ally right now in the ee vvangelical righto could get behind the labor movement. Walmart is doing a lot for workers, giving them bonus pennies, a holiday meal and a discount on future purchases at walmart, which is really sweet, so they can spend the bonus penny at walmart. I find this disgusting in terms of what they are doing to workers which will make them have to leave families and also what they are doing to consumers in putting this out there, you are as rick warren suggested destroying this important family moment. A lot of people
