Plus the president s latest hard right turn to try and sell trumpcare 2. 0. Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. And from selling your Internet Browser history what the heck are you thinking . To rolling back protections for women. How trumps america is taking shape faster than you know. Would you like to make a change, folks . When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Amid a steady drip of news about trump worlds connections to russia and under the shadow of an unprecedented federal probe into possible collusion between a foreign adversary and the sitting president s campaign, the white house and the gop is in full change the subject mode. The scandal is not what we know, its how we know it. In a throw back to the benghazi days, theyve got a familiar scapegoat. Former National Security adviser
susan rice. I believe susan rice abused the system, and she did it for political purposes. She needs to be brought in and questioned under oath. In terms of political manipulation of National Security information, susan rice, in my view, has done it in the past. When it comes to susan rice, you need to verify, not trust. Susan rice is the typhoid mary of the Obama Administration Foreign Policy. Every time something went wrong, she seemed to turn up in the middle of it, whether it was benghazi what is it that susan rice is supposed to have done . Well, republicans say she tried to access the names of u. S. Individuals caught up in intelligence surveillance, a process known as unmasking, and somehow abused her position for some nefarious political end. Is any of that true . Well, today in an exclusive interview with andrea mitchell, susan rice got a chance to answer the allegations herself. The allegation is that somehow Obama Administration
officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. Thats absolutely false. Did you seek the names of people involved to unmask the names of people involved in the trump transition, the Trump Campaign, people surrounding the President Elect in order to spy on them . Absolutely in order to expose them . Absolutely not for any political purposes, to spy, expose, anything. Did you leak the name of mike flynn i leaked nothing to nobody and never have and never would. In fact, buried down deep in one of those initial reports where few people seemed to have noticed it was the concession that any of rices unmasking requests were likely within the law. She had the power to do it. In her interview today, rice explained the regular process for making those requests with the Intelligence Community. It would start with the i. C. s daily intelligence report. There were occasions when i would receive a report in which a u. S. Person was referred to. Name not provided, just u. S. Person. And sometimes in that context, in order to understand the importance of the report and assess its significance, it was necessary to find out or request the information as to who that u. S. Official was. What i would do or what any official would do is to ask the briefer whether the Intelligence Community would go through its process and theres a longstanding, established process to decide whether that information as to who the identity of the u. S. Person was could be providedo me. So theyd take that question back. Theyd put it through a process, and the Intelligence Community made the determination as to whether or not the identity of that american individual could be provided to me. If u. S. Surveillance had picked up evidence of illicit communications between russian actors and american individuals, susan rice might have been one of the u. S. Officials to find out about it. And if she had, you can bet shed have questions about which americans were involved. But that basic set of assumptions does not add up to a
scandal, and its worth while to recap what we actually know. One, since july, the fbi has been investigating the Trump Campaign for possible ties to russia, which waged a Cyber Campaign to disrupt the 2016 election and aid donald trump. And, two, the president s National Security adviser was forced out a month into the administration for lying to the white house, the Vice President , the public about the nature of his contacts with the top russian official in the United States. There, it seems, is your scandal. Im joined now by the top democrat on the house Intelligence Committee, one of two congressional committees investigating any trump ties to russia, congressman adam schiff of california. Congressman, ken dilanian had this quote that i thought was interesting and made me think. He says, nonpartisan former senior intel official to me just now on unmasking fake scandal. Its like iraq wmd, a theory in search of facts. What do you make of that . Well, you know, it certainly is a theory in search of a villain and for whatever reason the hard right has always chosen susan rice to be their villain. I think you heard some snippets about that today. I was Dra Gooned Into service on the benghazi select committee. For two years, that committees purpose was to take down Hillary Clintons numbers. But one of the central figures the republicans went after and after and after was susan rice. And after two years they could find nothing that susan rice did wrong. In fact, the only thing susan rice did was go on Sunday Morning Shows and repeat what the Intelligence Committee best assessment of the early hours of benghazi was. That was consistent with what we were hearing, what susan rice was hearing, and thats all they could find, which was perfectly appropriate on her part. So what it is they have about susan rice that they like to go after her, i dont know. But i do think youre right in your summation at the outset. This is yet another attempt to
distract attention from the russia probe, which they obviously want to defer and deflect as much as they can. Now, you recently went to the white house after this long, complicated, sort of it seemed to me, misdirection play by the chair of your committee, devin nunes, possibly sort of Laundering Information for the white house that was given to him. He then briefed the white house about it all to maybe back up some kernel of some version of a tweet the president sent out about being, quote, spied on our wiretapped. Youve now gone and viewed documents that are classified, i imagine, but can you give us your reaction . Was it a, oh, yes, the president was rice thght that he was wiretapped . Was it Something Else . I cant go into the contempts of those documents, but i can tell you i havent seen anything during the course of this investigation that backs up in any way, shape, or form President Trumps accusation against his predecessor, that his predecessor wasllegally
wiretapping him orn the more broader allegation that he was surveilling him somehow. Theres no basis for that whatsoever. And, you know, the Wall Street Journal just reported and, again, i dont know if this is accurate, but it would explain a lot of the skull dugry in the white house. They just reported that the white house itself generated these materials that they then wanted to share with the chairman alone and have the chairman report back to the white house. That would explain why sean spicer says it was in the ordinary course of business. Of course theres nothing ordinary about it unless the ordinary course of the white house business is trying to interfere in congressional investigations. But nonetheless, its the first time that anyone has reported that these documents were by and for the white house. And if thats accurate, it would certainly explain a lot of why sean spicer and others in the white house were so desperate to hide their involvement. A colleague of yours, congressman castro, earlier
today said that if he had to bet, he would bet that people will go to jail over the end result of the investigation that the fbi is conducting. Do you agree with that . Well, im not a betting man. The most im willing to say is were at the very early stage of the investigation. I dont think any of us can tell where it will lead. And i dont think we should prejudge the outcome. We should instead dedicate ourselves to following the facts wherever they lead. So im not prepared to bet on any particular outcome. I just want to make sure that we get to the bottom of this. I want to ask you about carter page, an individual who has been often mentioned in reports as a sject of investigation because of his contacts with possibly russian intelligence officials. Theres a story that he was a target of russian spies for recruitment, passed them documents, buzzfeed said. And today he responded and said, i didnt want to be a spy he said in an interview with abc news. Im not a spy. Is carter page someone that you
guys are going to have come before the committee . You know, hes certainly a person of interest, and i think at the appropriate time, we are going to want him to come before the committee. As has been reported even prior to the report youre referring to, he was in moscow during the course of the campaign, and there are allegations by Christopher Steele that british former intel officer that is reportedly held in high regard by u. S. Intel, that he had clandestine meetings there, was potentially offered a stake in this transaction involving this massive russian oil company. So we obviously want to get to the bottom of those allegations, find out whether theres any truth to them. But at this point, i cant comment on anything we may be learning privately. Are you confident and this strikes me as the most important question at the heart of all this. With the steps the white house has taken to reach in, it appears, according to reports,
reach into american intelligence apparatus to pull out selective bits of information to possibly feed to people, can you be confident that the integrity of the Counterintelligence Investigation that we now the fbi is undertaking can be protected and secure . Well, that really depends on the director of the fbi to maintain the independence of that bureau and, even more importantly, to be proactive, not reactive and do Everything Possible to get to the bottom of these allegations. I think we can fully expect because, you know, one thing you can tell about this president , he is not going to change. He is who he is. So if theyre making efforts at the white house to interfere with our investigation, theyre going to continue to do that throughout the investigation. Whether they will, you know, risk doing that with the fbi, i dont know. But we need to count on the bureau to maintain the integrity of that investigation, and i can assure you no matter what the white house throws at us, were going to be pressing forward. Were determined to overcome any obstacle and use every resource we have. And one of the most powerful ones that we have is frankly public rutiny. This is why ive been so adamant that we do as much of this investigation as we can publicly. Its why i continue to call on our chairman to reschedule the hearing with sally yates and Directors Brennan and clapper. If we do this all in private and at the end of the day we issue a report that was compiled in private, the public is not going to believe it. The public needs to come every step of the way in this investigation. So we need to be as transparent as we possibly can. All right. Congressman adam schiff. Thank you for your time. Im joined by ned price, former spokesperson, senior director of the National Security council under president obama. And the allegation among folks from the white house, the president tweeting this and sympathetic figures in the press, that you and your colleagues in the obama nsc particularly have been engaged in essentially a conspiracy to
tarnish this administration, using access to classified tension. How do you respond to that . Chris, good to be with you. Look, chris, i think what weve seen here is an unfolding tragedy in multiple acts starring President Trump and costarring denial, obfuscation and misdirection. I think the first act of this tragedy actually started late last year when President Trump, as the republican nominee, was presented with the highconfidence findings of all 17 Intelligence Agencies that russia had meddled in our election. He just cast that aside. He denied that as his first tactic. No, no, this was the work of some 400 pound hacker in his drm. The second act, when heas President Elect and these reports of collusion between his team and the russians started to pile up, it was then fake news. This is the work of the enemy of the people. And that takes us, chris, to one month ago today when we saw the third act with the president s baseless tweets that his
predecessor had wiretapped him, apparently gleaned from a breitbart article with no basis in fact that has been shut down by everyone from devin nunes to the fbi director. Im not going to go into the whole subplot with devin nunes and this amateur theory. That is a tragedy in and of itself. I think with this latest with republicans Favorite Antagonist who is now featured in the fifth act, susan rice, i think it is clear as day that the fact that we are talking about unmasking as opposed to this administrations yet unexplained and multipronged ties to the russian government that is in a sense a vindication of the administrations strategy of misdirection. Unmasking is not the core issue here. This is a side show, chris. One of the things that strikes me here is its easy to lose sight of, to me, the proximate trigger for all of this, which is what happened with flynn. You know, we knew about the russian you know, the assessment of the intelligence
community that it was the russians that conducted, you know, criminal Cyber Espionage and sabotage. But with flynn, i mean he just lied. He lied about the nature of his calls with the russian ambassador. He didnt have to. He could have told the truth. He lied to the white house. He lied to the Vice President. They then lied to the public, and that simple fact, it seems to me the way the president conducts himsend the way the white house talks about it, they feel like flynn got a bad rap as opposed to angry that he lied to them. Thats exactly right. Theyre not at all angry that Michael Flynn was doing these double dealings with ambassador kislyak. Theyre not at all angry that he lied to Key Administration officials, including the Vice President. What they want us to focus on is the fact that he his name was leaked to the public. And, yes, that is a problem. We need to tamp down on these leaks. But, chris, its not the core issue here, and its another exhibit in this strategy of misdirection. Ned price, thank you. Thank you. Still to come, some intense
saber rattling from the white house after north korea launches another missile into the sea of japan. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson on what donald trump may be getting us into ahead. And after a week and a half a week and a half after republicans ignored the president s ultimatum on trumpcare, the president is back with an even more radical version.

If theyre not a cfp pro, you just dont know. Cfp. Work with the highest standard. Lawmakers whom trump has blamed for the initial bills failure, and in a separate meeting yesterday afternoon, they met with half a dozen republicans in the moderate tuesday group to discuss a possible agreement on a new bill. Now, there is still no deal. There is late report that white house just told activists to expect new text of Health Care Law at 8 30 meeting tonight, and compromises have been offered. Who knows what those are, but there are reports that say the bill would do away with protections for people with preexisting conditions, which would undercut one of the Trump Campaigns central promises. Let me ask you about obamacare, which you say youre going to repeal and replace. When you replace it, are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered . Yes. We should ensure that americans with preexisting conditions have access to coverage and that we have a stable transition for americans currently enrolled in
the health care exchanges. Joining me now is representative dan donovan, republican from new york. Congressman, can you explain what the heck is going on processwise right now because i have to say, im confused. Are they going to try to strike a deal and get this to a vote in three days before recess . That seems preposterous. I dont know what this time frame is, but i do think its the responsibility of us to get back to health care. We promised the American People we would rectify and repair what harm has been done to them in the health care field. The Affordable Care act is collapsing upon itself. I dont think what happened recently was a failure. Congressman, wait a second. Can i ask you this, though . You just said the Affordable Care act is collapsing on itself. It is. Thats just simply i understand there are counties that have, you know, insurers pulling out. Staten island that you represent, it is not it just simply is not a true statement to say its collapsing on itself, particularly not in the
state of new york. Its just not actuarily accurate. This is a national issue, and actually it is happening throughout the nation. Youre right, there are but the congressional budget but the Congressional Budget Office and the academy of actuaries both say that it is not in a death spiral. It is not collapsing. They both say that. Maybe the actuaries are wrong and the cbo is wrong, but youd have to cite some other data to suggest theyre wrong. Well, peoples policies this year are going to go up 25 . And barack obama was a very good politician. He put all the bad stuff in the Affordable Care act in the out years when he was no longer going to be in office. The American People are going to look and say, wait a minute. You guys are in office now and my premiums went up 25 . But its all because of how the Affordable Care act was structured. How do you explain the fact that at the time you say this sort of back loaded stuff which, again, i would quibble on the details there. Lets just put that aside. At the time this is happening,
the Affordable Care act is more popular than its ever been. New polling today has it out at 55 approval, 41 disapprove. Its never done better in polling than its doing right now. Theres many people that it helped. Theres many people that it harmed. Thats why it has to be repaired. The people that are pay 20g thousand dollars in premiums and have a 6,000 deductible and still have astronomical copays dont think the Affordable Care act is working for them. Agreed. We have to help those people without harming the people that the Affordable Care act helped. That strikes me as an interesting and worth wile policy goal, what you just enunciated. It is unquestionable what you said is true. There are people paying extremely high premiums and are not happy with the coverage theyre getting. Right now the House Freedom caucus is negotiating with the president to do away with, say, Community Rating, essentially to pull back the provision that bans bans on preexisting
conditions. Is that the kind of thing you could go along with . Not at all. Not at all. We have to protect people with preexisting conditions. We have to protect our seniors. You know, the Affordable Care act allows Insurance Companies to judge three allows Insurance Companies to charge up to five times as much. Right. Seniors at a time when their incomes are limited and theyre in need of health care probably more than they were in their early years dont think thats a relief for them. So we have to be very, very careful. As the president said, this is a complicated issue. We have to make sure were not harming people as were trying to repair our Health Care System to help those who are being harmed by the current system. So i just want to be clear here because those seem like really important Policy Principles for you in terms of the folks that you represent and what role you occupy in the caucus. Expanding from the three to one ratio to the five to one rash yes which was part of that initial bill that went down in flames. Now theyre talking about
getting rid of whats calling Community Rating that essentially mandates the Insurance Companies not charge sick people much more money than healthy people. You would not be able to vote for a bill did the things the House Freedom caucus is trying to do. Am i right in that . Well, i was a declared no on the last bill. And if its being tweaked to harm people further and i havent seen anything. As the speaker said this morning, these are Concept Ideas that are being flushed out. We havent seen any text, and these things change, i have to tell you. This changes by the hour down here. So until theres something concrete that we have to actually look at to see whether or not we could support, id be speculating. So, yeah i understand about bill language. As principles, Community Rating is a thing, right . Thats something you could say independent of whether the bill language, you support that, and you would oppose an effort to get rid of it . We promised that we would not harm people with preexisting conditions. We have to keep that commitment. Thats all i wanted to get on the record, congressman. I appreciate your time tonight. Thank you so much for having me. Coming up, faced with a pressing international crisis, President Trump takes it as an unt to make a political attack on his predecessor. Well talk about that and the breaking news out of north korea just ahead. I let go of all those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of Chronic Hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. And is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious Liver Problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take
including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. In a moment, we are going to show you some very disturbing images from rebelheld area of syria where at least 83 people, including 25 children, were killed in what the State Department has identified as a Chemical Weapons attack. That death toll is expected to rise. It was one of the worst massacres in syrias brutal sixyear civil war. Video swing pple choking, fainting, foaming at the mouth, as desperate doctors scramble to tend to hundreds of victims. Multiple countries, including the u. S. , attributed the attack to the government of syrian president Bashar Al Assad, whos widely believed to have used Chemical Weapons against syrians in the past. Assads government blamed terrorist groups and called the allegations fabricated. At a photo opp with King Abdullah of jordan, u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson, who just days ago said assads fate would be decided by the syrian people, ignored shouted questions about the attack. Later putting out a Statement Reading in part, it is clear that this is how Bashar Al Assad operates, with brutal, unakbashed barberism, those who defend and support him should have no illusions about assad or his intentions. In an official white house statement, President Trump blamed assad but then went on to fault president obama. His Statement Reading, i quote,
these heinous actions by the Bashar Al Assad regime are a consequence of the past administrations weakness and irresolution. The horrifying situation in syria is one of the several International Crises being navigated by a president with no Foreign Policy experience, who has delegated much of his administrations Foreign Policy responsibilities to his soninlaw, 36yearold real estate heir Jared Kushner, who this week traveled to seerk, and who is Being Skribded as a shadow secretary of state. When we come back, im going to speak with someone with a lot of qualifications, colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, about the administrations Foreign Policy especially in light of the breaking news out of the Korean Peninsula. North korea has launched a Ballistic Missile off its eastern coast. More on that next. Te relief.

Colonel, i want to read you two statements and get your reaction to how this president is positioning american policy on this incredibly highstakes issue. This is the president talking about north korea to the financial times. Well, if china is not going to solve north korea, we will. And this is Rex Tillerson just moments ago. North korea launched yet another interimmediate range Ballistic Missile. United states has spoken enough about north korea. We have no further comment. How do you understand the u. S. North korea policy at this moment . Ris, i understand it in a way that im deeply concerned about. Ive been on and off the Korean Peninsula as a military professional and diplomat for over 40 years. Ive participated in what Rex Tillerson more or less derided when he was on the peninsula, the policy of strategic patience. Im sorry but that policy has kept war from the peninsula, well, since 1953. So im very concerned that we would suddenly and abruptly, with this very inexperienced
team in the white house, decide were going to have a new policy and articulate statements that youve demonstrated that policy might include a serious look at preemptive Military Action or certainly at war on the peninsula. This is not the way to deal with north korea. You know, north korea seems like the classic example of no good solutions. But i mean they are a nuclearcapable power. They are on the border of both American Forces and south korea, our ally, of course. Its just hard to imagine any kind of Military Conflict between the nations that isnt catastrophic. Am i wrong about that . Ive exercised all the war plans. Ive probably been in more team spirit chief focus exercises than anyone else in the military. Yes. The answer to your question is 100,000 casualties in the first 30 days, almost complete destruction of seoul. Were talking about concentrations of artillery. We couldnt evacuate the american citizens fast enough. The so this would be an absolute disaster. We need to stop thinking about a Military Solution to korea. We havent thought about that since 53, not really. This seems to be the Inexperienced Team again thats thinking about these sorts of things. And i have to hope i have to hope that with other things that trump has tweeted and talked about, that this is all his idea of establishing a hard Negotiating Position so he can move away from that as he gains what he wants, or at least partially does so. Otherwise, it frightens me. You talk about the inexperience here. Its been hard not to scratch your head a little bit, i think, at seeing Jared Kushner in these meetings. He goes to iraq before the
secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, does. This is a Washington Post story about kushner, saying he is a singular, almost untichable role in the white house. And this is thomas mann, a senior fellow at bookinbrooking. Its as if trump is the don. He only trusts his close family members. What do you think about having this 36yearold soninlaw of the president as a chief emissary navigating american Foreign Policy . My first deep concern is the same concern i have with almost the entire team. The experience quotient, the diplomatic quotient, does not go up when Jared Kushner walks into the room. Thats my concern. These are amateurs. In many cases, theyre rank amateurs, and theyre dealing with some of the most serious issues that the United States confronts. Lets look at what weve got going right now. Weve got a potential war with russia. Weve got a situation in china and the South China Sea that
could ignite. Were deepening our experience in yemen, which ruined egypt. They call yemen nassars vietnam. Weve got a situation in north korea. Theres an old theory called conservation of enemies. You dont want too many enemies at one time, and i would submit you certainly dont want too many enemies at one time when you have such inexperience in the white house. You know, one of the places you did not even mention in that, which of course is syria the news today of the Chemical Weapons attack. Two things. One, i want to did you about the reaction. Then i want to ask a substantive question. First, i was pretty struck by the statement of the president of the United States that sort of goes from condemning what is a war crime to essentially blaming it on his predecessor. It just struck me as really shocking tonally. I think thats pretty much the policy of this administration is when they cant find any other rationale, they throw it back on the other
administration, whether its the Affordable Care act or syria. Let me just adhed here. I am very reluctant to jump to conclusions about who, if they were employed, might have employed whatever chemical gas it was. Chemical weapons are the weapon of the loser. Saddam hussein, for example, when hes being attacked by iran. Theyre not the weapon of a winner. Assad is winning right now. Right. And thats the reality on the ground in syria. So my question is whos trying to ruin the talks . Whos trying to destabilize the situation once again . Im not saying assad wasnt possibly guilty. What im saying is we need to find out more about this use, and we need to find out if there are other parties involved. I should say that the reporting ive seen, at least from the people on the ground, afp was there on the scene today. The folks on the ground appear to be convinced it was assads forces. Thats not obviously definitive, but thats what the reporting
would suggest. Ive read many of the reports, and they seem to imply that Assads Air Force distributed the serren or whatever over a vast tapestry. Its very difficult for me to put myself in assads position and say, im winning. Why am a going to pert bait the situation now the wade a use of Chemical Weapons would. Do you think there is any path forward in syria that could lead to an end to the just unspeakable brutality and horrific bloodshed there . I certainly do, and i think its the one that we were about, i think, to pursue. And that was to recognize assad, at least temporarily, as the leader of the legitimate State Of Syria and to negotiate some sort of political transition, however long that might take, with the other people involved. My concern, chris, about iraq and mosul in particular and Syria In General is after that sort of stability is achieved, what does turkey do . What does iran do . What does hezbollah do . What does assad do then . What does iraq do . What does iraq under the influence of iran do . I think the postconflict situation, if we ever achieve it in syria, may be more serious even than the conflict. Its looking very far off tonight. Thanks for being with me. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Still to come, despite the Trump Administrations series of big legislative failures, they have already enacted tangible change. Plus the president gets booed. Thats tonights thing one, thing 2, starting right after this break. When youre close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment . If you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. Taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. With taltz, up to 90 of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. In fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. Do not use if you are allergic to taltz. Before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. Taltz may increase yr risk of infections and lower your ality toight them. Tell your doctor if you are being treated for an infection or have symptoms. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. Inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz. Including worsening of symptoms. Serious allergic reactions can occur. Nows your chance at completely clear skin. Just ask your doctor about taltz. Come on everybody. Aleve. Live whole. Not part. Thing 1 tonight, President Trump delivered a speech to Construction Unions today and began by playing to his crowd. Just look at the amazing talent assembled here. We have iron workers, insulators never changes, does it, with the iron workers . Well, lets hear it. Labore laborers. [ cheers and applause ] painters. [ cheers and applause ] sheet metal workers, roofers, plastere plasterers. Plaster . Well, yeah, thats were not using as much plaster as we used to, fellas, right . No matter how you cut it. Sorry about that. Im not sure i can do much. We brought back the coal miners. Im not so sure about the plasterers. Well do the best we can, okay . Were going too the best we can. Roht back the coal miners. Did you catch that . Already. Things seemed to be going pretty well until the president started getting booed. And thats thing 2 in 60 seconds. Why pause a spontaneous moment . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Do not drink alcohol in excess. To avoid longterm injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. If you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. Ask your doctor about cialis. He thoroughly detailed his electoral victory as he so often does, even imitating news anchors calling out his state wins. But at one point he seemed to overplay his hand, perhaps
forgetting that north americas Buildings Trade Union endorsed Hillary Clinton in the election. Waho the mood changes when he realized that maybe not everyone there was on the trump train.

Knowledge, that is Traitorous Conduct because the russians attacked the fundamental institutions of our country, trying to delegitimize and change the outcome of our election and conspiring with a foreign power to attack the foundation of our Democratic Republic that is Traitorous Conduct. That was senator jeff merkley moments ago in his opposition. The confirmation of Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch while the white house is under investigation. Merkley is still speaking, plans to hold the floor all night. Meanwhile another trump pick, Jeff Sessions, is making his mark as Attorney General. The man who once criticized the dojs report on the Chicago Police even though he said he didnt read it has now, through his Justice Department, gone to court to seek a 90day delay in a Consent Decree to overhaul baltimores Embattled Police department. That kind of action by the nations Attorney General is remarkable considering that baltimores mayor and its Police Commissioner strongly support the Consent Decree, along with citizen advocacy groups. Its not just baltimore. The Jeff Sessions Justice Department has ordered a review of federal agreements with dozens of Law Enforcement agencies including Consent Decrees with Police Departments in 14 different cities. These agreements are designed d pattern and practice on discrimination and civil rights and constitutional violations. Thats what the Attorney General wants to slow down or stop.

Internet privacy rules instituted lasyear under the obam martian ha Obama Administration have been repealed. A regulation protecting alaskan bears repealed. A rule that stops Coal Companies from polluting streams, a pesticide which has been known to damage childrens brains greenlit. Also workplace protection for lgbt workers having revoked rules on bathrooms for transgender students in late quarterback. Also nullified a Workplace Injury reporting rule. Then with little fanfare as with so many of these, the president revoked obamaera protections for women in the workplace and the State Department halted money to the u. N. Population fund for Family Planning. Joan walsh and christina grier,
associate professor of Political Science at fordham university. Well, let me start with the browsing thing because to me its such a perfect example of the way american politics works. Weve read like one billion articles about the great uprising of the discontested white working class. Heres your people of mahoning county, they can sell your browsing history. And you dont get anything for it. Sell your own browsing history. Its awful. Theyve been doing these surgical strikes of incredible cruelty since the first day. You remember i think we were together when the first thing he signed on january 20th was something eradicating an obama Fee Reduction for mortgages for firsttime home buyers. It saved a family about 500 a month which is nice as a firsttime home buyer. They come up with thesis thie t. How do they even know its there . Who went in and said day one, this is what were doing. They are making peoples lives miserable with it. This Family Planning cut is killing me. That program last year, our funding alone saved 10,000 maternal lives and stopped 100,000 unsafe abortion. They still havent given any reason for it. George bush cut it because the fund was working in china and it was seen to be somehow associating itself with the one child coercive one child policy. Thats not even true anymore. But what i think we have right now is sort of two sides of this administration. On the one hand, it looks like an abject failure, right . The muslim ban, the muslim plan 2. 0, both failures. You couldnt get the aach passed. Didnt even come up for a vote. Doesnt look like gorsuch is
going to have a difficult time. Harder time than they thought. Nothing smooth. Failure. On one hand, this man is an absolute disaster, in over his head. No one around him knows what theyre doing. Then we look at all these minor, Micro Aggressions that this particular administration is inflicting on the american public. Especially so many of the poor people who actually voted for him. These people rely on Family Planning. These people rely on not everyone has a dad who can buy them their first home and give them a loan of a few million dollars, right . Donald trump. So i mean also the people that live in places that have streams and things like that. Coal. This frustrates me so much about the republican senators who will not stand up. Dont you have children and grandchildren . All the money in the world cannot help your children have better air than a poor person. You may be able to live in a better neighborhood but at the
end of the day, water cant be oil. And so there is sort of they are making everything a scarce resource. They want to privatize everything. Think about the future of this planet, if not for yourself, for your families. Thats one of the places where, what scott pruitt is going to do to the epa, theyve put it on notice. Thats a place to me they can probably do the most damage from a unilateral perspective. Whether its the coal, the power plant rule, the enforcement of the Clean Air Act which they lets be clear. Theyre required to enforce as a matter law but they can do away with in all kinds of ways. The other part of that is whether that packs a political punch. You know, i think it might, if the thing is its got to get really bad in order for it to pack a political punch. If pruitts stripping away of regulations and doing things through agency rules really does degrade the quality, you could have worse air in coal country
and in the rust belt than elsewhere. Whether thats communicated in a thats the thing. It is getting bad, but its not articulated in a way where its like, when you are defunding the Parks Department and then giving someone a measly 78,000 check after youve taken away billions of dollars, that is not necessarily the visual makes it seem for his supporters like, oh, hes actually keeping his word. Hes not keeping his paycheck. I also dont understand the budget is going to get ironed out in congress. The congress has the power of the purse. I never understand why they go after the national parks. Also if theres one thing americans red and blue, conservatives love its the parks. When we go to the parks. Absurd elitist undertaking. Thank you very much. I have a couple Book Tour Events here in this great city, new york. For my new book the calling of a nation. Tomorrow night, i will be at the
