At the end of a week in which one leader held on Against The Odds whilst another found himself out of a job. The unlucky one was saudi arabias crown prince, replaced by a relative half his age, an encouraging sign for those hoping for reform. Britains Prime Minister theresa may, though, made it to the brussels summit of european leaders, defying predictions she would quickly be deposed after her election humiliation. It was the week where her government began negotiating brexit. Those leading the talks exchanged gifts a book On Mountaineering and a Walking Stick. Just how much of an uphill struggle will it be . With me are steve richards, uk Political Commentator and author of the rise of the outsiders. Mina al oraibi, an iraqi british journalist, whos about to become editor in chief of the national. Agnes poirier, uk editor with the french magazine marianne, and American Writer and broadcasterjeff mcallister. A warm welcome to you all. Thanks with being with us again. Agnes, let me as
the 13-year-old. i don t buy it. we know how unhealthy social media is for young women, and as dana pointed out last week and before that, it was magazines that were terrible for young women, and the people who end up being models look a certain weight, and we know how destructive it is. i think that the whistle-blower raises a good point there. we know facebook wants to make a lot of money. it is a fight founded on ranking how attractive women are it is a site founded on ranking how attractive women are. that s where facebook came from. jesse: it was? questionmarks greg: that s ws called facebook. [laughter] jesse: was i supposed to know that? no one knows that! greg: did you not say the social network ? jesse: a long time ago. dana: remember what kennedy said, that hurry teenage daughters are not even on facebook. they are on tick-tock and snapchat they are on tiktok and snapchat.
now, nikki haley again on today show was pressed on this and whether the trump administration would accept the finding. look, i haven t seen the report and i have no indication and no reason not to accept it. the issue is to balance business with fighting climate change. as you know, hallie, president trump when he was a citizen at one point referred to climate change as a hoax. he sort of walked those comments back. but his top officials have been pressed on whether he still sees climate change in that way. we haven t gotten a real definitive response. of course, as you just pointed out, he pulled out of the paris climate agreement. some real question marks about what, if any, action they will take after seeing this report, hallie. there are questionmarks as to whether or not the president will accept had fithe findings his own agencies. his work began before he came into office. there is that part, you know, there is
created by what republicans have been talking about and these questionmarks here. does that get resolved if this bill moves forward? yes and no, in part. i think, first of all, still counties where you saw no insurer participating. i think that s a tricky problem to solve. there s currently house lawsuit over and it makes those for the next two years and that is a big one for insurers and that could help stabilize the marketplace. what you saw in the cbo report yesterday is that premiums increasing over the next couple years. in times for the midterms, aaron and julie. it s happening right in 2018? the medicaid expansion starting to be phased out. this happens every time they pass a bill. that s not a coincidence at all. we ll take paul ryan in just a second. he s giving a statement and when he starts to take questions, we ll dip into this. why is this deadline happening? this thing seems to be going in
he can do something in 2012, because right now if he s reelected, i think there s a sense on the part of the american public that they don t know what he stands for. they know he can compromise and will compromise, but in terms of ideals and what he ll do to help the country, there are a lot of questionmarks. is this the power of discourse, the framing. i was talking earlier about the president s successes in foreign policy, on the one hand it looks like we have a record of success of passing big legislation like health care reform, for example, but still the sense people feel like we don t know what he stands for, it there something governing here? look, i think he s had an enormous number of legislative accomplishments, and obama is inherently a complex, diverse person and some of these issues the republicans have managed to sort of dominate the argument on this.
