Photo. We begin with nbcs Aaron Gilchrist in New Hampshire where President Biden just touched down a short time ago. Aaron, what are we expecting there . Reporter chris, good afternoon, we expect to hear from the president near the bottom of the hour here, and this is an official event as opposed to the Campaign Events we saw on saturday and on friday in philadelphia area, and in atlanta. Today the president s focus as we understand it from a white house official, will be on lowering health care costs, something he talked about during the state of the Union Address and will reiterate today, highlighting in particular his call on congress to make some changes to enact some policies that he believes would Lower Health Care costs, proposals that are in the president s budget that was released today, the 2025 budget. In particular, theres one portion of the president s policy plan that would reduce rather, cap costs for prescription drugs, theyre drugs that are already capped for people wh
i ll give you this preview, the president didn t do very much, but gleefully watch television during this timeframe. we will present a lot per than that. i can only imagine, i know what i felt as a u.s. congressman and if i was a president sworn to defend the constitution and that includes the legislative branch watching this on television i know i would have been going ballistic to try to save the capitol. he did quite the opposite. s we ve discussed many times on this program in the past, more than three hours, 187 minutes, to be exact, elapsed from the time donald trump leaves the rally on the ellipse to when he tweets out a video asking his supporters to leave the capitol. congressman elaine luria who will be leading thursday s hearing alongside congressman kinzinger said they ll be going through a period of time minute by minute. take a listen. not only was it a situation that he was not doing anything and at one point the infamous tweet at 2:24 he egged people on b
The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. The elements of a crime. I had cases trying to plead guilty and he said what you said is not a crime, i am not accepting your plea. Yesterday, heard what Michael Cohen said, said that is a crime, i accept your guilty plea. When they say he wasnt implicated in the cohen plea deal, john, is that a lie . Well, actually the president was not named in the indictment or in the plea agreement. Michael cohen did an audible during his allocution, said the president directed me to do it, not in the documents that were signed. That came as a big surprise. The bottom line is Michael Cohen admitted to a crime, rather than take a bullet for the president , he shot a seering missile. Right now, the white house is not articulating a defense. Rule one. Dont allow your client to speak. The more President Trump speaks, the worse it gets. What do you make of his defense . It is not a valid defense. Three defenses the white house has to make.
Could go lean republican versus currently democrat and two likely republican, five in toelgs. what do you take away from districts that can be applied to the map as a whole? justin: absolutely. what we know, in order for republicans to take back the house, they need to gain a net of five. this map, keep in mind or projections, are preliminary, redistricting process hasn t quite been finished. we are doing crystal balling. i suggest this will lean more republican as states finalize maps. the reasons why are because at beginning of last year, things looked chaotic. as the year unfolded, more and more, some more distant, very clear, became obvious to create a landscape that shows democrats are deeply vulnerable coming into the
Controversial. people haven t always supported his decisions, but experience matters. fortunately, new york voters have lots of good choices in this regard. crystal balling the timeline is tough to do because my expectation is that even the prosecutors themselves don t know exactly when the case will be ready. often and particularly in something complicated when you re trying to flip witnesses, you just can t tell and you have to let the investigation come to the point where you re ready to make the decision whether to prosecute or let the matter go because you lack evidence. you know it when you get there. but really you don t know it this far out. the job of the investigation is to establish these basic questions. who, what, when, where, why. the investigators have lots of documents. they have the tax documents that vance fought so hard for in court, so they likely know everything except for the who at this point. they know what happened.
