tamara keith, white house correspondent for npr. and ken vogel political reporter for the new york times. thank you all for being with us especially as part of our leadoff panel tonight. ken, i ll lead off with you. what do you make of this bank subpoena, if true, is it a big deal? what else does it speak of? absolutely. we always kind of knew that this was a possibility that mueller would start looking into donald trump s finances and this subpoena, again, if it is accurate that deutsche bank has been subpoenaed, would indicate that he is fully going down that route. deutsche bank is significant because donald trump it has at least $130 million worth of donald trump s debt and it sold some of that debt or could have sold some of that debt to russian banks. that could potentially give these russian banks some leverage over donald trump. and so you have the combination here potentially of donald trump s finances as well as his dealings with russia and how those two things ....

we re going to start with the cuban missile crisis. cuban missile crisis was 1962. it took place over 13 very, very stressful days in october 1962. the united states at that point had long been flying high altitude surveillance flights over the nation of cuba, but on october 14th, 1962 a u2 surveillance flight picked up imagery in cuba of something that started that whole crisis, started that whole standoff. it s interesting. the cuban missile crisis is very precisely identified in all the history books as having started on october 16th. two days after that u2 spy plane captured those images in cuba. but the crisis didn t start on october 16th because something happened that day, because there was some overt act by cuba, there was some provocation there or some announcement by them, it didn t start because on october 16th there was some act by the soviet union or some announcement by the soviets that kicked off this crisis. the reason we can be so specific about when the cuban ....
Chris Hayes discusses the day s top news. there is always a striking thing that happened on the house side in these investigations in these matters, which is they never got their hands on the phone records. never subpoenaed the phone records placed to an unknown meeting. is that something you would like to see as a member of congress. i am a former prosecutor and if there was an allegation and i did not subpoena those records, i would have been fired. it was clear that they were not interested in trying to find evidence of collusion. trying to do a whitewash of what happened. and i think history will not judge them kindly. reporting yesterday about senator claire mc mccaskill. how democrats last week put up a bill to provide election, security funding. the republicans rejected that. and it is clear that the house republicans have completely gone derelict in their attitude to protect america. and hopefully voters will change. top officials on election security. we a ....
the lead negotiator as he cautioned because their stark message to the insurgents to john nickelson has made clear, reconcile or die. ruben said this is not the way to start a dialogue with people who s entire culture is organized around personal and collective honor, which by the way is a much bigger factor in this war than so-called extremist islam. he added it s obvious that this conflict has no purely military solution, even maintaining the current military involvement requires better political ties with afghanistan s neighbors. look at a map, ruben said, afghanistan is land locked and america needs supply roots. the three countries that could help with access are pakistan, russia and iran. and we have bad relations with all three. ruben s chief advice is to work hard at diplomacy and recognize other countries have an interest in afghanistan and engage them, a successful outcome is entirely dependent upon involvement from india, pakistan and russia and iran. so washington ....
