Arguments are not allowed to do their job because of almost laws like catch and release. Getting more dangerous. Care vans coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws now. No more daca dweealdeal. And then he also threatened to dismantle the Trade Agreement saying that next go is doing very little if not nothing, stopping people from flowing into mexico through their southern border. And then into the u. S. , they laugh at our dumb immigration laws, they must stop the big drug and people flows or i will stop their cash cow. And in another tweet, the president conflated the Refugee Crisis saying the refugees want in on the act here, but the Tax Po Daca Policy says that they have
california to the federal government and vice versa on this very topic. Yeah, you used the right word, ire. The president has been frustrated with congress for the lack of progress on this issue. I think we cant forget that the president S Immigration proposal only got 39 votes in the senate and now he is essentially pulling back and saying no deal when it was the democrats that had actually offered 25 billion for President Trumps border wall which is another thin g he expressed his ire about. He only got 1. 6 billion and it wasnt really for new construction, it was to repair the existing infrastructure there. So the president could have gone the extra mile here and gotten something in return which would have been 25 billion for his border wall which is what democrats said they were prepared to give up. When we look forward to the midterms, and this will be great
for the base, grit feat for tho who want to bring President Trump into their election cycle, is this simply why the president is now hitting this particular point, knowing that congress will not get anything done on the topic but knowing that it may get some votes out . And it also that there are these court cases out there that are preventing people who receive daca from losing anywhemayor protections. So he can create a political scene without having a huge risk of any major fall outor haveyo risk of him having not followed through. And when the President Trump said today is that the other statement he made about the Nuclear Option here, concern, a and in reality if they were to use the Nuclear Option, do the
republicans have the votesern, and in reality if they were to use the Nuclear Option, do the republicans have the votes . John mccain not in washington, d. C. As allof his colleagues would agree they wish he was there. It would change Senate Procedures to make it where you would just need a simple majority vote. Right now you need a 60 vote threshold. Only in washington do you have to vote to have a vote. I go back to my Schoolhouse Rock days to work through how a bill become as law. But i do think that it mobilizing the far right, but we also have to point out that it mobilizing progressives and the base of the democratic farthpar well. So this is a political gamble that they think that it would have a better Turnout Effect for conservatives than it would with republicans. But i just think back to pa 18
when i was right outside of pittsburgh and seeing how motivated progressives were to get to the polls. But again, this is very gee vice si d divisive. Im not sure that Mitch Mcconnell wants to deploy that Nuclear Option on. And nancy pelosi also responded to the president s remarks today. Obviously hitting out against what he was saying. But is she the right spokesperson from the left to be challenging this president on the very issue of immigration and daca . This is again what she said earlier, time and time again the president has walked away from bipartisan proposals that are what he asked for. Andrew. Well, i talked to a bunch of democrats in the house that said nancy pelosi is part of the problem. The democrats gave up a lot of the leverage othat they could
have had. Pelosi was saying basically here is why im not supporting the Budget Agreement because it doesnt have daca, but she didnt tell her members you also shouldnt vote for this because we need to extract a concession from the republicans when it comes to daca. So most of them privately would argue that nancy pelosi Isnt The Guest spokesperson on this issue. But just to echo what kevin said, this really is a pipe dream this idea of getting rid of the filibuster and going to the Nuclear Option. Republicans couldnt even get to a simple majority with health care last year. And with immigration, it is more divisive. And a bunch proposal showed potential, but you aare still 1
votes short even if you invoke the Nuclear Option. So if nancy pelosi is not the voice, who should it be . Well, you have to remember, Senate Democrats are trying to protect their people who are already elected. You have plenty of people worried if they go too far on daca, that it isnt good to them in the 2018 midterms and they are trying to hold on to as close the likelihood of democrats taking strocontrol of senate is much lower than democrats taking control of the house and they are trying to hold onn seats. So difficult to say wed like to shut down the government again over dam whca. But we know from past experience that government shutdowns Dont Allege M always manifest themselves in
the way that people vote. But it is unknow how far to the left they should go. And rely interesting for all four of us to watch the tactics and strategies implemented by both side of the aisle moving forward. Because were right in the middle of it. So thank you so much. Have a good holiday sunday. Hit by a sheriffs brick, a protester injured during a vigil. What were learning. And plus the current pastor of Martin Luther king jr. s church join us to talk about the state of race 50 year after his assassination. We at the Cocacola Company believe the health of our water sources assassination. Which is why were helping to replenish the mighty rio grande as well as over 30 watersheds across the country. Were also leading Water Projects in more than 100 communities. And for every drop we use. Were working to give one back. Because our products rely on the same thing as we all do. Clean water. And we care about it like our business depends on it. Its 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. And at our factory in boston, more than a thousand workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. Today were bringing you americas number one shave at lower prices every day. Putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. As one of those workers, im proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette. Gillette the best a man can get. The toothpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums. If you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. Help stop the journey of gum disease. Try parodontax toothpaste. Whether its a big thing, small thing, or something unexpected, pnc will be right there when you need us. Because when it comes to your finances, if you focus on today, tomorrow has a way of working itself out. Are tensions that are starting to heat up. She ha they have been since last week since the findings were reported by a family hired doctor. He was shot eight times, six in the back. It seems to fly in the face of the Sacramento Police. And as the week moved on, the protests started to heat up last night there was a planned protest at the sheriffs department. It started peaceful as most of them have been, most of the protesters wielding candles instead of signs, but they were there for what was planned to be a vigil. But as the night rolled on, a r lot started moving in too t str, disrupted traffic and then around 8 40, a lot were gather
around the corner and the sheriff tried to wade you through the crowd. And sheriff says they wanted to cause vandalism. But the protesters say it was a broad hit and run, it was clear as day. Sheriffs Department Says that there was very slow speed, that the woman struck sustained minor injuries. And that seems to be confirmed. But the question is what exactly happened. That is part of the investigation from the california highway patrol. Meanwhile Sacramento Police not commenting any further on clarks death until there is an official autopsy from the county, and that could take several more months. Tensions will be high until that point. All right. Thank you so much for that report. Thursday marks the 50th Anniversary of the as satisfies nation of Martin Luther king jr. Ameri america. Anytime young black people are not safe in their own grandmoth grandmothers backyard, this young man shot in his back, takes dark time and yet i see glimpses of hope. Im inspired by young people fighting against violence on the street, violence visited upon communities. This way in which were seeing those saying black lives matter and those marching for our lives recognizing at the same time that they are young people in these inner cities who have been in the march for their lives for years now. And so we keep fighting the good fight. I have to say to you that this is a tough moment. But dr. King does not allow us to give up. One of my first stories as a cub reporter was rodney king. And as we have to tell the
stories that again we were unable to get from steve pat t petition petition patterson, you just change a couple thing tsz and tell the story again. How do you say its okay, well get better . As tragic as these incidents are, they are as predictable as they are tragic. Im very concerned about Police Brutali brutality. Dr. King said that we will not be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the injustices of Police Brutality. But behind that really is americas commitment to being the capital of Mass Incarceration in the world. The land of the free he is the incarceration capital of the world. We warehouse 25 of the worlds prisoners. As we saw the decline of industry in our country, a shift
to service and post industrial economy, we could have invested on money in preparing our young people for that new economy. Instead we have invested in systems this brokenness, we have invested in incarceration. And so these kinds ever he of escalations that we see are really as tragic as they are, they are the tip of the iceberg, a lot of people dyinging a independe kind of social death. Not physically, but they traffic you through americas criminal justice system, over 50 are black, most for nonviolence drug related offenses. And when they come out, the tragic irony is that all of the form of discrimination against which dr. King fought are now legal. They are simply reinscribed. Some have taken a plea, have only served a few days or no days at all, but voting
discrimination is legal, Job Discrimination is legal, Housing Discrimination is legal, all of the doors of entry h. Entry into citizenship are shut close. And we have to keep fighting. And what inspires me is today i preached earlier today aboutent citizenship are shut close. And we have to keep fighting. And what inspires me is today i preached earlier today aboutent citizenship are shut close. And we have to keep fighting. And what inspires me is today i preached earlier today about a man who led a protest march against at powers that be and he was brought up on trumped up charge, he was executed as a death row inmate. And today all over the world christians remember that love t triumphs. This weekend our jewish sisters and brothers entered the weekend of passover. It is a long hard struggle. We have to Kind Bebdinding the. And as you know he history everof mlk, the day before he murdered, he said he didnt want to die, but he knew that it would happen. The next day he was murdered. What would he say about the state of Race Relations had that not happened 50 years ago . He was murdered and i think it is important to remember in a moment like this this dr. King was a victim of gun violence and so too was his mother. She was shot and killed in the sanctuary of our church in 1974 by A Young Black Teenager who had access to a gun but not Mental Health care. It would have been a blood bath had he been able to access an ar15. 50 years later, there is a deep
bigotry that we are hearing, this venomous speech in the public square. Black people sadly are used to negotiating what i cause respectable racism, but were seeing unabashed bigotry from the high ets levels in our country. And yet there are those at the grass roots in our significant gag synagogues and mask mosques th need to learn to live together or we will perish separately as fools. I see hope particularly in the eyes of the young. 50 years later. Dr. King made his way to memphis because two garbage collectors were literally crushed in the compactor of their truck because they could not ride in the front of the truck. And that is what took him to
memphis. He lost his life, but the movement grew stronger. Jesus was executed on a cross. But he got off the cross and got in our hearts. Truth crushed to earth will rise again. Reverend, Keep On Keeping on, my friend. Thank you so much. Thank you. Tonight the nbc special documentary hope and fury, movement and media, this du documentary explores the Civil Rights Movement to 2k5id. Watch it tonight 10 00 p. M. Eastern. Another trump cabinet member under fire for on expensive tastes. A look at that and chief scott pruitt from the epa. And watch for this, an apology not enough in a stabondoff. What spoken nsors are saying. Today, its the dawn of a new lawn. Thats because roundup for lawns has arrived. Finally, theres a roundup made just for your lawn, so you can put unwelcome lawn weeds to rest. Draw the line. With roundup for lawns, there is no better way to kill lawn weeds to the root without harming a single blade of grass. Its a great day to be a lawn. Draw the line with roundup. Trusted for over 40 years. Blocks from the kcapitol. The a. P. Reports a trip to italy costing taxpayers 120,000. And then there was also the sound proof phone booth, the cost 43,000. And today Chris Christie made a prediction about pruitts future and criticize the vetting process. This was a brutally unprofessional transition. This was a transition that doesnt vet people. If mr. Pruitt will go, he should have never been there in the first place. And he is not 9 on othe only with questionable spending. Ben carson Scrapping Plans to buy a 31,000 Dining Room Set for his office pnd. Carson said he left the decision up to his wife. And we all remember Steve Mnuchin and his wife wanting a military jet for their european
honeymoon. About a Million Dollars there. Mnuchins insistence on Flying Military Aircraft has cost the taxpayer that number right there. Lets decide with oiscuss with. Ben carson was on that list of questionable spending. At least a potential possibility. What is your reflection on pruitt, is he next to go or is he safe because of his effectiveness at least in removing a lot of the obama era rules . Happy easter to you. I think one of the president s key Campaign Promises was indeed that he would darain the swamp, that he would bring Back Transparency to washington. I think the president will have to make the tough decision and fire many of these people riddled by scandal because they are taking away from whatever good deeds he may like to argue that his administration is doing. Absolute power corrupts absolute absolutely. Very much to vet people properly. But again, i think it is very, very critical that the president looks at his cabinet and makes the Stuff Decisions and lets these people go because he is taking away from his overall message. Wendy, why is pruitt not gone now . That is a very good question because when it you look at a cab met member paying 50 to a potential robblobbyist, 9 next question is for what . Whether we look at former or past cabinet members, next
question is for what . Whether we look at former or past cabinet Membernext Question is for what . Whether we look at former or past cabinet members, they have used Taxpayer Money and they look to wield power and influence. There is a notion of draining the swamp. But all we see a crocodiles and alligato alligators. This is why the president has no business serving the American People. And what is the read on ben cars carson . Week to week we wonder based on quickly things change in the white house and the cabinet. Look, ill be honest with you, i have no clue. From my understanding oh, come on. From my understanding, his position is safe. But look, back to my original point. Any individual who continues to run an agency and mismanagement it, any individual with questionable ethics, those people have to be receipt go. Again, any individual who is running an agency riddled by a scandal with questionable issues have to be let go if the president wants to continue to be true to his Campaign Promise of graining tdraining the swamp. Wendy, have we now changed what would be Standard Operating Procedure based on what weve seen in this white house as the culture moved off of what was energy . The culture has moved from long term. Yeah, so long term im hoping that we can pull this back. There is a saying and it is easter on ill get biblical, a saying says show me your friends and ill show you your future. And if the cabinet is any reflection of the president , we are not in good shape. We into need to get back to wha American People deserve. If they are serving their own Self Interests as we have seen time and time again from this administration, they need to be let go and she need to be let go without us the American People expoeding them. The president is aware of what is going on here, needs to let these individuals go. And if i could say and this is something that i rarely ever do, to the president s credit, he actually is letting some of these folks go. And i think that you will continue to see that. President s, whether they make good decisions or bad decisions, We The PeopleUlgtly Have Eopllo live with that. So i think you will see conversations about these people taking away from his agenda fp. What about the fiscal
responsibility . No one is above reproach. Okay. That might be a pats sif yes th that it is a possibility. All right. Thank you. You kind of gave us your answer. Appreciate both of you. Comey tells all. What we could learn as james comey echl barksembarks on his. And investigate torts detain a trump ally as he heads home on easter. Trouble with recall. Learning from him is great. When i can keep up anncr thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. Dads got all the answers. Anncr prevagen is now the numberoneselling brain Health Supplement in drug stores nationwide. She outsmarts me every single time. Checkmate you wanna play again . Anncr prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Welcome back. Lets turn to the russia probe. This week investigators detained and questioned ted malloch. He was served with a subpoena and will be questioned again about his involvement in the trurm c trump campaign. John dowd reportedly floated the idea of are pardons but he denies it. And james comey kicks on off his book tour will he will tell his side of the story since being fired by Trump Last May which eventually led to the appointment of 3450u8lemueller. Nick, what do you make of ted
malloch . I find it interesting because he was coming through u. S. Cust customs. They didnt need a Search Warrant. But there is a Supreme Court case that makes it clear that they view a Search Warrant on a phone as pretty significant. And i think that muellers team has probable cause, they really have reason to believe that there is evidence of a crime on that phone. And that is why they got the Search Warrant. They werent taking any chances because they believe there is something there. And what that there is relates somehow to Jewel Januaulian ass the conspiracy with the campaign and russian government. To use the emails to get donald trump elected. And i think we have a lot of
interests when one of these new people is questioned. But i think what weve seen is that there is professionalism. There will follow each of these leads where they need to go and there is such a variety of them now, almost hard to put the mosaic together. So we just need to sit back and let them to do it for us. I dont know, whjohn, What De Decision not to name a Second Special counsel to look into the way that the special counsel bob mueller has been looking into the Russia Question and the investigation thereof . What do you make of his decision to say no to the special counsel but then say u. S. Attorney huber will be the one to provide i guess recommendations about what the next steps might be . I think that is probably the professional answer. Clearly the notion of having another special counsel to look at the Mueller Investigation is nothing but partisan politics and pretty sleaze ciy at that. There is no evidence that mueller is doing nothing but their professional duty. I think the president is grasping for anything. The Arrest Warrant for steele is evidence of that. And this effort is just another sort of in that gamesmanship. And as a part of the entire narrative, we have the former fbi director here, james comey and his book that we expect to come out this month. Some people dont like to hear the pressure trove, but what do expect to be said and what will be the impact be on the Mueller Investigation . He has to know that he will be a witness in any obstruction case. So he is being im sure extremely care in what he puts into that book. So what he puts in to that book, he will view as what his testimony will be in a court of
law if he has to testify against donald trump in an Obstruction Of Justice prosecution. So you will see everything laid out there. Because he doesnt want to create a book that can be used to crossexamine ihim in a criminal trial. So i think that there will be a lot in this book. Normally a prosecutor might ask to look at what the ghe is plan to write because he dont want someone either giving away the case or creating prior inconsistent statements that can be used against him at trial. On the other hand, comey is a former prosecutor. He knows what the mueller team will be using. So i think what will be in there is very interesting. And this book is not only for americans to read, it will be for bob mueller and miss investigators to read. And so you have to ask what are
the two messages be in the same book. Mr. Comey has a long history at the fbi. So he will be very careful. He knows that there are multiple audiences, also overseas from the russians and others. So im looking forward to reading it very much. But i dont know how much it will affect the your all investigation. All right. John, nick, thank you both so much.

i look like most people. But on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions.

Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or Alcohol Problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family. Talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help. Well, after that, 13 companies have pulled their ads, among them trip sizer, hulu, johnson johnson. Friday i thingraham announced t they would be taking a vacation for ieaster. Joining us with this weeks watch for this, beth, those are just some of the things you will cover, but lets start with Laura Ingraham. I think what im watching for is whether anymore advertisers decide to bail and what fox news decides do about it. We have another new one that you didnt include on that list, bayer, which is a major pharmaceutical company. They pulled out of bill oreillys back when he was immediately thrust into a huge controversy around the news that fox network had paid out 13
million in settlements for women because of Sexual Assault he allegations against him. He was fired not that long after. So the question is whether fox will handle the situation in a similar manner. She went on vacation. Oreilly did as well. But i think that is where the similarities end. I think that the chances are that they decide to fire Laura Ingraham much less. Lets face it, the allegation that she made that very offensive tweet about his colleges notwithstanding, it is not the same level of magnitude of the discovery that brill oreilly had been responsible for this level of Sexual Assault forcing the company to pay out that level of payment. It was a very, very bad situation for fox, they really had no absolutely no ability to keep him along. In this case Laura Ingraham is just one of many conservatives cho have framed david hogs ong
politicaled ed adversary. So my guess is that more advertisers will bail, but fox will still keep her. And lets move to the race in wa wisconsin. And Supreme Court justice race in wisconsin, one of the few states that has political people, police races for judicial positions. This is turning into a barn burner race because in the age of trump, everything is a big deem. Wisconsin more than any other state is so heavily politicized. Wisconsin more than any other state is so heavily politicized. Wisconsin more than any other state is so heavily politicized. Wisconsin more than any other state is so heavily politicized. Wisconsin more than any other state is so heavily politicized. Sdot walk sd scott walker is running for reelection and he had to be pushed to replace a couple state legislators. He said he didnt want to hald a
special election because he have afraid democrats might get in. So this is two candidate, be one a conservative, one more of a liberal, National Money in on both sides. Joe biden has actually endorsed the democrat running. The vase race is on tuesday. Usually they get like 7 but they are expecting much more. And just enough time to look forward to the 2020 president ial race, john kasich out in front today. Yeah, he has been an edned a adversary to President Trump. He has not lets up on his Critz Simp Xrits Criticism and today case being wrote he doesnt take hope from innocent children who call america home. Today is easter sunday. So keeping up the dwrrumbeatdru. And he is going out on tuesday to New Hampshire that allimportant first of the na nation primary state. And hickenlooper is going to high with a. And they drummed up a bromance. There is some talk that they might consider teaming up with kasich on the top of the ticket, hickenlooper as his running malt in a bipartisan tickets in 20. Both have said they are not interested, but the optics are fascinating. Never too early. Thank you, beth. vo more Doing Chores For Mom per roll more Doing Chores For Dad per roll
