A giant bandaid on my finger because i was really excited watching the super bowl while i was simultaneously grating cheese. Thats why i have funny shaped bandaid oven my finger. The republican candidate for president took a trip to london and it went very poorly. It shows exactly how poorly it went. This is the best summary of how that trip went in mitt romney is doing a press conference with the leader of the labor party. How do you think he feels about his visit with him at this exact moment. He appeared to forget eds name. He repeatedly described him as mr. Leader. No one knew what mitt romney was talking about. It appeared to the less that they thought his name was ed leader. And that is how he felt about it. On that same trip he disparaged british preparations for the summer olympics. Mitt romney cited his own experience with the Salt Lake City games and he saw a few things that were disconcerting. That prompted this response from british Prime Minister david cameron. We are Holding Olympic games in one of the bustest cities it is different when you have them in the middle of nowhere. Also, he was given a security briefing by the ni 6 which have is close to the cia here but they are way more secret. Theyre never supposed to say the name mi 6 or admit that mi 6 exists. I appreciated the insights of the leaders here and leaders of mi 6. That meeting whether or not was not on his public schedule. It was supposed to be a secret. He was not supposed to talk about it with reporters, and even if he found it too irresistible, youre still not supposed to say it was with the head of mi6. Officials that met with mitt romney told the daily mail that it was a total car crash and they found him devoid of charm, warmth humor, or sincerity. Mitt romney just had a terrible, terrible trip to london. The sun summed up their take on him mitt the twit. The headlines were terrible there and here. Midrom news olympics gaffe overshadows visit to london. Mitt romney visits london while stumbling on almost every front. Mitt romneys olympic stumbles in london. The trip of shambles it started a hashal. Hey, americans, this mitt person is some sort of american borat, right . It was just a terrible trip. It might have been his fault. You may remember just a few weeks ago, fox news became a real laughing stock when an expert came on and said there were special areas in london. The hashtag on that was fox news facts. The city is now being calling berming because ham is not lalal. They have a chain of fast food restaurants, burka king. Jam jars across clinton are being radicalized. The british Prime Minister had to run in again saying that the fox news expert frankly i choked on my poran, this guy is clearly an idiot. Fox news profusely apologized on multiple fox news shows with numerous hosts. What he said was not true. They said there was false claims about nogo zones for nonmuss limbs in britain. I think it was bigger news when fox took a rare step and apologized for doing it. After that literally the day after they started apologizeding for this bobby jindal a man that wants to run for president in 2016 he went to london danger danger and he gave a speech about the nogo zones he believed were there, and even though fox news retracted it and said im sorry. Bobby jindal apparently didnt know it. He went over there and gave a speech trying to revive it. Now it happened again. It happened today. The pattern here is bad. If youre an person politician that wants to be president think of london as a nogo zone. Things started a little bit okay Chris Christie went to a soccer match, there was some rhyme and reason. New jersey has always had a lot of health care industry. They had a good big chunk of the new jersey economy. So to attract trade interest, the states governor would find a way to visit a manufacturer of a vaccine. He went to the manufacturer of a flu vaccine. While touring, he got to area the safety glasses and the lab coat. He looked very smart. All going well if youre running for president. There are good things about this. If you do that photoop at a place that makes vaccines even 23 it is in another country, you as a candidate for president are going to get asked about vaccines and whether or not people should take vaccines. So you should probably have an answer ready for that inevitable question. There has been a Measles Outbreak by people not vaccinating their kids do you think they should vaccinate their kids . We vaccinate ours. Thats the best expression of my opinion. Its more important what you think as a parent than what you think as a public official. Thats what we do but i understand that parents need a measure of choice in things as well. That is the balance that the government needs to decide. Parents need to have a measure of choice. Chris christie may have wanted the story to look looking president ial abroad him in a lab coat drumming up business for new jersey. Now it looks like he is supporting the super new trend of people not vaccinating against the measles. His office said of course people should vaccinate. By then it was a big story and not what wrist wristChris Christie wanted his trip to be about. This today with Chris Christie was a big enough story over the kour course of the day, it was a big enough story when he was in london today, the story spread across the pond to the United States and seemed to have inin infected rand paul. After this story took off today other would be 2016 contenders should have known they would be asked. Im not antivaccine at all, but particularly most of them ought to be valueoluntary, i was annoyed that they wanted my kids to get the vaccines and i had them delayed and staggered overtime. I should have done that i should have talked to you. I should have talked to you because youre a doctor after all. Rand paul is not that kind of doctor. Rand paul for years was a member of a Conspiracy Theory doctors ocean called the association of American Physicians and surgeons surgeons. Sounds like a straightforward group, right . They pick names they sound upstanding. They say it is evil and immoral for doctors to participate in medicare, and that vaccines cause autism. The Conspiracy Theory group. Here is rand paul talking to them. Thank you very much for having me. Katherine neglected to mention one thing. I have been a member since 1990. I think, it could have been since i was in medical school but i know at least 1990. Rand paul addressing the association of medical physicians and surgeons. She addressing them here in 2009 saying he has been in the group for 20 years at that point, maybe longer. The cdc said were up cases of measles because people are afraid of the vaccine. Today as Chris Christie had his london trip overshadowed today rand paul who has a history of associating with conspiracy theorists, then there will be a follow up to that right . He was asked about it again in a follow up on cnbc. Look what he said when he was asked to clarify on cnbc today. I heard of many tragic cases of walking talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. Senator rand paul of kentucky today really said that on cnbc. And he wants you to think of him as a doctor as he is running for president. Senator rand paul until today was seen by some people assort of a top tier president ial candidate. Honestly with this thing today, he totally pulled a Michelle Bachman bachmann. A woman came up crying to me tonight and said her daughter was given that vaccine and her daughter suffered mental retardation as a result of that vaccine. That is pretty much the last Michelle Bachmann was heard of in that campaign. Even the right basically said that was a discall if iing ignorant and dangerous remark. They said bachmann seemed to go off the deep end. She was duped into reporting a vaccine scare legend on national television. Even Rush Limbaugh what Michelle Bachmann did was too far. Ill tell you, Michelle Bachmann might have blown it today. He wasnt on to say, quote, there is no evidence that the vaccine caused mental retardation. That was the Rush Limbaugh show in 2011. This is not a partisan thing. It didnt used to be a partisan thing at least. It is not like Climate Change where scientists have said 2 and some dont believe it for political reasons. Does it make sense in the internal logic of the right, if you deny the science on Climate Change, that at least gets you the koch brothers, right . They want there to not be any stepping taken to fight Climate Change. They will praise you in return for you denying the science of Climate Change. But if you deny the science on measles, what does that get you . What does that get you on the right . It started off today with Chris Christie being just the latest would be president ial contender that had a very bad day in london. This crossed back other to this side of the atlantic. This is now a wigger and worrying quo about whether there is a whole new and really important part of the scientific con consensus that republicans will start believing inside their world. Was a bad motivational speaker . I look around this room and i see nothing but untapped potential. You have potential. You have. Oh boy. Geico.

I have heard of many tragic cases of walking and talking normal children that had mental disorders after getting vaccines. When rand paul said that about vaccines he also said this a couple moments later. The whole purpose of doing this is to bring money home there is let me finish. Let me finish kelly, shhh let me calm down a bit here kelly. Calm down kelly. Hush. Calm down. Rand paul had a bad day in the press today, there was a bad day for more reasons. Do you feel there should be a requirement that parents get their kids vaccinated. I know some families are concerned about the effects of vaccinations. The science is pretty indisputable. We looked at this again and again. There is every reason to get vaccinated. There arent reasons to not. Are you telling kids to get your kids vaccinated. Savanna guthrie talking to president obama. He made those remarks this weekend. That clarity from him, that direct message, that is a very different message that we heard from republican president ial hopefuls Chris Christie and rand paul today. It is nice to see you, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. When governor christie said today that parents should be able to choose whether or not to vaccinate their kids. Who exactly is he appealing to or was this a screw up . I think what he was doing there is i think he flashed back immediately to his last Public Health intervention where it was a a complete debacle where he contained this new jersey nurse for a matter of weeks saying look you have been to africa were not letting you out there. He was embarrassed after the way that unfolded. I think he overreacted to his initial overreaction. And he started thinking about the Parents Choice movement and antivaxers out there and he was not prepared for the question. And good for them by the way coming out and saying absolutely that is not what the governor meant, everyone should get the meesz measles vaccine. Are they a significant enough number or politically partisan enough that republican politicians running for president want to court those groups . It is a very diverse group. It would be hard if a politician sat down and made the calculations of how can i win this small set of people. It is pretty difficult because the group of people their concerns dont overlap a ton. A lot of them are not even voting in the republican primary, for instance. Theyre sitting it out completely or they are voting in democratic primaries. The only overlab here is the antiauthority, antigovernment and antiscience benefit that you see around the Climate Change deniers that was generated and fuelled by the koch brothers. So chasing political upside here, there is also downside here. What rand paul said today was much choser to Michelle Bachmann. He is a long time member of a conspiracy group, does that potentially play poorly for him in mainstream politics . It does and i think people are still going to get moll tigss are going to take that they should stick to Climate Change denialism. Everybody has, not everybody, but a lot of people have children, everyone was a child at some point. No one wants needlesimmediate measles or mumps, and it does play to rand pauls deeper week rnss that he has a very consistent world view on the intellectual level. 90 to 95 of parents are vaccinating their kids this is a small number but it is a dangerous number because it has gone beyond the kind of. 3 protected by herd immunity.

Senator harry reid was working out at home using a resistant band. He broke ribs broke bones in his face and damaged his eye. He had surgery to try to save the sight in that right eye. It is apparently inconclusive, but never the less look he was back on the floor today. He got a big welcome from his colleagues, a big welcome back. He is quote, seeing more than he was before the surgery, but his eyesight has not fully returned. It is still day today whether or not he will be able to see. Apparently it will not keep him from working as he fights back from that terrible injury. Continued best wishes for your recovery.

We have caught a unicorn. We found in the wild and captured tonight a thing that st not supposed to exist in nature any more. We found something in washington that is absolutely 100 totally nonpartisan and we found it in congress. I know but this is the most nonpartisan thing imaginable and it is about to happen. Yes, in our lifetimes. You may remember a few weeks ago we had a couple conservative Texas Republicans on the show. A mom and dad, and we had them on the show because of a powerful appeal they made to a conservative senator who was blocking the passage of a bill named after richard and susans son. My name is rich selke and this is my wife susan. Were conservative republicans from texas. What i would say to you is thank you for your vigilance over our budget but this is an exception. If they had 22 million in the bank right now i would write that check. I dont have it you dont have it, but you have power. All you have to do is not say no. All you to do is allow this bill to pass the senate today or tomorrow hopefully by the end of the session. Would you please do that .
