Lets listen to john mccain. To abandon the ideals we advanced around the globe, and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth, for the sake of some halfbaked nationalism cooked up by people that would rather find scapegoats than solve problems. We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil. We are the kau custodians of the champions abroad. Obamas complaints about republicans stopping his agenda are bs, and he can never take responsibility. Lets go to the white house where we find our joe johns. We see the president trying to appeal to the warring factions in the Republican Party. Its a very difficult job, and in our poll the president does not get very high marks for the way he has been dealing with congress. Just to look at the graphic. Overall, 32 approve the way the president is handling congress, and 54 disapproves. The poll also shows that 68 of republicans do approve of the way the president is handling the relationship. Lets talk a little about how the president is trying to straddle the fence here in washington. We saw it on display at the white house just yesterday, the president on the one hand trying to reach out to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell, and on the other hand trying to keep the peace with his former top adviser, steve bannon. Listen. I know how he feels. Depends on who you are talking about. There are republicans, frankly, that should be ashamed of themselves. We have been friends for a long time. We are probably now, despite what we read we are probably now, at least as far as i am concerned, closer than ever before. The relationship is good and we are fighting for the same thing. The president will get the opportunity to reach out to both sides of the Republican Party once again tonight when we appears before the heritage foundation, and thats a conservative think tan incok in washington, d. C. , and they will be interested in hearing more about the president S Health Care and tax cuts. We will see the president speaking to reporters for the second time in two days when the greek Prime Minister shows up here at the white house later this afternoon. Back to you. Thank you very much, joe. Breaking news just in to us. Minutes ago President Trump announced a key position to confront and battle the Opioid Crisis will not be filled as expected. The president said tom moreno is withdrawing his name after he was the key sponsor of legislation that limits the deas ability to fight the opioid addictions. We heard from joe manchin this morning who was on our air saying over his dead body they would allow moreno to be the drug czar, and saying they would repeal this legislation, really damning from the 60 minutes and Washington Post report. This was legislation passed through consent, and originally this bill was about helping people who were dying, end of life, to get painkillers that were necessary that they could not get, and the 60 minutes report repealing something more sinister, and the Drug Companies lobbying and pushing to allow the loophole, if you will, to make it harder for the Drug Enforcement administration to seize the shipments of suspicious narcotics and flood American Cities with the pills and opioids contributing to this drug crisis that we have. We heard from senator manchin, and he said he will repeal it, and the president was confronted with the reality, and a tweet was thanks for recognizing we need a drug czar that sees this. Suzanne malveaux, thank you very much. And it leaves america without the key position in the middle of a crisis. It has been without this yeah, throughout the administration. Aerial, the drug crisis aside. The president ripping off the bandaid quickly when somebody associated with him starts to get bad press. Today is tuesday, and moreno is out. He was taking these private flights a week and a half, after that story came out. The president acting quickly here. This was extraordinary. Very highprofile embarrassment for the administration. As you point out, moreno was not part of the crowd that went along with the legislation, he spearheaded. Hes a swamp creature. He pushed through something in the end that was bad for West Virginia in particular. Heres the thing, alex, not a single sitting member of congress nor president obama did anything about it. They saw this legislation coming. You cant even understand a lot of this. Nobody it passed with unanimous consent in the senate and house and not a single senator or member of the house opposed it. Clearly it had consequences that most members of congress did not appreciate at the time. I give the Administration Credit for acting swiftly in the case. We have seen other cabinet secretaries, other nominees hangout there even after they are politically dead and its awkward for the administration. In this case, the president acted swiftly and hopefully they act swiftly and appoint a new nominee to the critical position who we can move forward with in fighting the terrible epidemic. There are questions on if this person was on the wrong side of the issue of the Opioid Crisis, how he ended up to be drug czar in the first place. Thats a question for another time. We talked about senator mccain and played sound from him in the opening of the show. We have a new poll out and the president has low Approval Ratings from senator mccain, and he pointed to his half baked securious nationalism. He got choked up a little bit. I thought that was telling. He talked about the obligations of leadership. This is something that is baked into him from the Naval Academy on. Its in his blood from his family members, who have all been military heroes. He was trying to bring the party and perhaps even the president back to sort of a more stable and more reliable concept of patriotism, instead of the patriotism of fools, where you go around and bluster and think its a trade deal as opposed to something enduring. When he talks about the world we built, this postwar world where we kept the peace. A proliferation kept under a lid despite what is going on in north korea. I heard senator mcdacain saying lets not be too hasty in throwing out what we built. Lets listen to the president talk about blame not being placed on him. Listen. We are not getting the job done. Im not going to blame myself. Ill be honest. They are not getting the job done. How do you square that with his own words in 2012, obamas complaints about republicans stopping his agenda are bs since he had full control for two years, and he can never take responsibility. Theres a saying in town for everything trump does you can find a tweet that says the exact opposite a couple of years ago. Yeah, this matters because its getting it done for the American People. President s rarely blame themselves. Why would they . Its not constructive to blame yourself, and he needs to blame congress because he needs to put pressure on congress. Just the polls that cnn released this morning, you see more Americans Trust republicans in congress than they trust the president to make the right decisions. He needs to reverse those numbers and he starts by putting the onus on congress for not moving the agenda. That is, he needs the American People needs to trust him to get things done and put pressure on congress to act, and his comments yesterday and his appearance to Mitch Mcconnell were constructive to that end. The fascinating about these numbers we have them up now. When you ask americans overall who they blame or trust more thats not the right one. Anyway, if you ask americans who you trust more, Americans Trust congress. But when you ask republicans specifically who they trust more, they trust the president more than congress. The president is winning this battle among the republican base, and i am wondering if you think thats what steve bannon sees here as hes really deciding to take on congress in the president s name . I try very hard to stay out of Steve Bannons head. I think its a scary place, to be honest with you. Steve bannon is trying to target president s that support the president s agenda 100 . I think President Trump should be more forceful in his condemnation in what bannon is trying to do, and thats target republican senators, and he needs to expand the majority. The best way he can implement his agenda is by sending more republican senators to washington, d. C. In next years mid terms. That will not happen if bannon is successful, and thats a problem for President Trump and his presidency. Well, every president doesnt like to take blame, but every president doesnt say i am without blame. Very true. Look, hes blaming, whether its congress or himself, and this is kind of a crazy speed they thought they would use to change the Health Care System and onesixth of the economy, and change the tax code and it took reagan 2 1 2 years to get it done, and what was he expecting . This is what comes when somebody has no experience in government. Its not like they tried two or three seasons with congress, they expected it to get done in five weeks. Very strange. Yeah, the blame he placed on not calling the families of the Fallen Soldiers we will talk about that in a moment. Ahead of us, no diplomacy for now. North korean Officials Say they wont sit down at the table and talk until they have the full capability of launching an icbm that could hit the east coast of the United States.

Very shortly the president will meet with james mattis, this after north korea seems to reject the idea of any diplomatic resolution to the Ongoing Nuclear battle. The regime telling cnn it has no interest in deescalating tension with the United States until it develops a missile that can reach the east coast. How significant is this change . Its not like they were eager to get to the table. Yeah, this is a message that was reiterated when i was in there, and they wanted to prove to the Trump Administration they have the capability to attack the u. S. And defend against attacks and they have to prove it by launching an actual ibcm in full range, and it would be the first above ground Nuclear Detonation the world has seen in 40 years, since china did it in 1980. It would be highly provocative. Another es kau latorre development is President Trumps visit to asia. He will come to a number of different Asian Companies here in japan, and china, japan, vietnam, the philippines and perhaps most significantly south korea. The president spoke at the white house about the possibility of visiting the border between north korea and south korea like every other u. S. President before him. Heres what he had to say. Do you intend to go to the dmz . I will go to china, japan, vietnam, we have a big economic summit there and i may go to the philippines, also. We have been invited to the philippines, and we may be going to the philippines. We have not set the details. Are you provoking north korea by going to the dmz . We will take a look at that. I didnt hear any terms of prau joking, but we will look at that. One, the United States could show strength by having President Trump visit the dmz, but what if he goes there and says something, like the little rocket man, and to Say Something like that in this highly sensitive and charged location where theres so much weaponry pointed back and forth, there are fears in the region that President Trumps presence there and saying something off script could really cause the situation to go downhill quickly. Thats what is being grappled with now ahead of trumps visit. His meeting later this morning with more top officials about what to do regarding north korea. Great point. Thank you very much. Joining us now, democratic congressman senator. Senator, sorry, we have it wrong in there, senator, we will give you your due. You just came back from south korea, and you said you left confused and shaken. Tell us more. I think the confusion is the message the administration is sending. Tillerson has tried to establish diplomatic channels to north korea, and President Trump told him not to do it in a series of tweets, and basically indulged in namecalling with the north korean leader, and its going to be necessary to have diplomacy here, because the consequences of a war are catastrophic on the peninsula. I would like to shift gears to niger. Four u. S. Servicemen were lost in the ambush in the african nation. You joined a chorus of people that led to their death, to that ambush. What questions do you have . First of all, there are questions about intelligence, were we aware of the capabilities and the intent of the isis forces that attacked this unit. The unit, as i understand it, was what they considered a routine Training Mission with troops from niger, and then they fell into a wellexecuted and wellcalculated ambush. We have to be conscious of what is the mission . Are we actively pursuing the isisbacked elements or are we training the army of niger. Do you think the administration has been forthcoming on this . The first we heard from the administration about it at all was yesterday at a press conference. Has the administration been forthcoming enough, senator . I dont think so. I think the administration has to be more clear about our role in niger and our role in africa and other parts of the globe. They have to connect it to a strategy. They should do that. I think the inattention, you know, to this issue is not acceptable. Again, you did hear the president yesterday when asked about it why he called the family members, he said he was writing letters, and he suggested past president s have never called, and he does more than that. What was your reaction to his initial response . I think thats gross mischaracterization of what previous president s have done. The president has an awesome responsibility as any president , but in my experience most have tried diligently to contact the families, and sometimes its difficult and they try to contact the families and they are very sensitive to the need to do that, and to the president , he seems to exhibit an insensitivity, and its something he would get to eventually. Thats not the case. We have to not only care for the families, but also care for those who have been wounded and i hope we do that. I also want to get you on a piece of legislation that has now costs a member of congress his potential job as drug czar, and thats tom moreno. We just learned moments ago hes out of the consideration to be drug czar as we battle the opioid epidemic, and you, as a member of congress, did not object to the Patient Access and affective Drug Enforcement act. Its that legislation that died the deas hands on getting how many of the opioid pills were bei being districted. Nobody objected to this, why . The presumption was the committee, and particularly the individuals directly involved in negotiating the legislation and the dea itself would not be harmful. And most are technical issues that are not controversial. This is one of the exceptions. What the remedy is is to immediately take steps to repeal the legislation and put in a Stronger Authority for the dea to crack down on the pharmacy companies. Did you read the entire bill before not objecting to it . The bill came out of the judiciary committee, was posted, my staff reviewed it and the comments to me it was noncontroversial. Unfortunately, it appears to be highly controversial and the step is to immediately correct the legislation. Senator, thank you. Appreciate it, senator. Thank you. We have breaking news now out of raqqa. This is the selfdeclared capital for isis. U. S. Backed forces fighting isis says the operations have ended successfully. We have aur wow damon that joins us. Pretty significant when it comes to the physical territory isis does control. What we do know from the Syrian Defense forces, and thats the force that is led mostly by kurdish fighters and backed by the u. S. Led coalition, and they are focusing their efforts to try and clear out small pockets of isis sleeper cells, and tryi trying to clear what isis may have left behind. The devastation of what isis left on the city is apocalyptic, to say the least. The significance of raqqa in and of itself, this was the first main city that came under isis control, and this is the city where we saw beheadings in the main square on a fairly regular basis, where women were sold into slavery, often times sexual slavery. The issue where isis were its headquarters were centered and its operations that it issued to overseas to carry out attacks derived from, and it seems this is almost entirely cleared of all isis fighters. That being said, what is critical is what happens next, who is actually going to hold this city. Lets not forget that isis has not been completely eradicated from both syria and iraq. In fact, according to eight organizations, the focus of the fighting something moving into that area. A significant milestone, and aur wow, thanks very much. New outrage after the president says his predecessors did not make the calls to families of Fallen Soldiers. The dow closed at a record high yesterday, and will it cross the 23,000 mark today . Maybe. The president s promise of slashing corporate taxes is a big reason the market is so hopeful, but can he get it done, next. Im living that yacht life, life, life top speed fifty knots life on the caribbean seas its a champagne and models potpourri on my yacht made of cuban mahogany, gany, gany, gany, gany watch this dont get mad bell mnemonic get e trade and get invested this i can do, easily. I try hard to get a great shape. Benefiber® healthy shape is a clear, tastefree, 100 natural daily fiber. Thats clinically proven to help me feel fuller longer. Benefiber® healthy shape. This i can do President Trump made false claims about his predecessors accusing them of not reaching out to the families of Fallen Soldiers at times. Former attorney general, eric holder, tweeted this in reaction. Quote, stop the damn lying. Youre president. I went to the air base and saw him comfort the families. President trump talking for the first time, and only then because he was asked about those killed in niger. The toughest calls i have to make are the calls where this happens, soldiers are killed. For me thats by far the toughest. The traditional way, if you look at president obama and other president s, most of them didnt make calls. A lot of them didnt make calls. I like to call when its appropriate, when i think i am able to do it. According to former Obama Administration officials president obama did do it, and met with people regularly. You hear the same from Bush Administration officials. Later on in the news conference, the president did backtrack just a little bit. Listen to this. President obama, i think, probably did sometimes, and maybe sometimes he didnt. I dont know. Thats what i was told. All i can do is ask my generals. I want to discuss this with a former member of congress, jack kingston, and Senior Adviser to the trump campaign. And also with us, National Press secretary for bernie sanders. Congressman, the white house insists he was not criticizing his predecessors, but it sure sounded like it and it sounded like he was saying stuff that wasnt true . I think it did and the critics are right in taking it that way. I want to point out he did correct himself quickly, and he addressed it almost immediately. I know i have been with president bush when he met with pheb members of the family, and barack obama did it, his staff tells me. One of my former constituents were one of the men who died and a big funeral was for him yesterday in georgia, so these things are highly emotional, and probably where theres sacred ground is generally we dont talk about these things. Simone, to you, as the congressman points out, when the president was correcting himself it was a half connection, and he ends on saying all i can do is ask my generals. Thats not all you can do, right . If you dont know, dont say it. Nobody asked him to talk about his predecessors. This is another jab at president obama. It seems hes concerned about talking about president obama and trying to undo everything president obama has done, and we saw that yesterday in the press conference. We have to continuously remind the current president of the United States that words matter, and its not enough for him to say i dont know, i have to ask the generals. You are the president. The onus is on you to know. If you dont know, who the hell knows . The other thing, congressman, the last thing in the world that is important here is President Trumps own comparison to his predecessors, who is doing a better job of what in this case. What matters most is the families of the four Service Members killed, and it took the president 12 days to mention it out and even when asked. Is that enough . I think as the senator said, an investigation into this is appropriate. What were we are doing there . What may have gone on in somalia and was it connected . Talking to will wright, the brother of the deceased soldier, justin wright, what happened is the bodies were kept and the families wanted to get the bodies back as quick as possible. I dont know what that was about either, but i think those are questions the families want to get off their mind. When the families talk to their elected officials, it does help bring closure. This funeral for Dustin Wright was held on a High School Football stadium. I was on the defense committee, and i went to many, many memorial services, and these things are always tender and politics should not enter into it. John and poppy, the other thing i would like to note, the congressman has been talking about talking about the families and the folks truly affected by the loss of soldiers, and what i heard from donald trump yesterday is how he was affected when he has to make a phone call, and he doesnt send one of his daughters or sons out to serve, and i did not hear impaw they or sympathy, and i heard him talking about himself yesterday and thats another problem with the president. Lets just take a moment, if we have the photos of these four young men. Lets put them on the screen. There they are. Army sergeant, david yawn sun, and Staff Sergeant bryan black, and david johnson, and Dustin Wright. Mike pences son has been to dover three times. When the president does express sympathy, it is private. When president bush spoke with the families, i was not allowed in there. It could be ten minutes or an hour. I do think when the president gives sympathy, and i have met donald trump many times, his personal persona, i guess, is a lot different than what we see in public. He is a very empathetic guy. I have no words. When he chooses to be, which up until this point with these families he will, he will, and the families have said they are being patient and he could not have handled it had he called the past weekend because they were grieving so much, and his First Response yesterday was telling and even you took offense. Appreciate you being here. The president says plenty of supplies, water, aid, has been delivered to puerto rico. But do americans think he is doing a good job now in the aftermath of the disaster . The new cnn poll shows a major drop in the perception of how hes handling this. You might take something for your heart. Or joints. But do you take something for your brain. With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brainhealth supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. When people ask me for i always tell them the thicker the enamel, the more white youre going to have. I would definitely recommend pronamel strong and bright to my patients. Pronamel strong and bright toothpaste helps to actually strengthen the enamel. Its going to keep that enamel strong. Its going to keep it white. Patients get what theyre asking for. They want whiter teeth. Theyre going to get it with this. Not only what dentists are looking for in a product, but what patients are looking for in a product. Oh, look. Another antiwrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. Neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® works in just one week. With the fastest retinol formula available. Its clinically proven to work on fine lines and wrinkles. One week . That definitely works rapid wrinkle repair®. And for dark spots, rapid tone repair. Neutrogena®. See whats possible. We have a fascinating number in the new cnn poll. The president s Approval Rating on how he handled the hurricanes this year, it plummeted a full 20 points since the beginning of september. What happened in the middle there . Maria, Hurricane Maria hitting puerto rico. The president is still defending the recovery effort there. Puerto rico is very tough because of the fact its an island, but its also tough because, as you know, it was in poor shape before the hurricanes hit. Their electrical grid was destroyed before the hurricane got there, and it was not working, and in bankruptcy, owed 9 million. And he says the problem is local authorities on the island are not getting them distributed. Reporter whenever you get outside of the capital here of san juan you hear repeatedly from residents, for example, we focused on for several days water issues, and you go to the small towns and the areas up in the mountains or outside of san juan, and you hear from people they only received maybe a package of two of water, and you see improvising of people trying to tap into rivers, streams, lakes, wells, that may be contaminated. You here from mayors who say they need more help. We want more help. I know my experience is fema has given us a lot of help. We need more help and i have meetings with other mayors, and i see the desperation. Reporter you see and hear that desperation. A lot of this is roadways up in the mountains, and some have been wiped away and it could be a while to get to certain towns, and a massive hurdle here, its amazing that we are almost a month out of the storm and theres still more than 85 of the island that is without electrical power. To grasp just how crippling that is down the line is staggering. You talk to people who are temporarily unemployed and businesses have not reopened. The lack of power is crippling, and has everybody frozen at times. And that doesnt take into account Massive Communications problems that reaches throughout much of the island as well, and communication lines, and cell towers still down, and you drive to a certain part of the island and its a black hole of communication and that hampers the efforts as well.

Team owners, players, Union Leaders huddle today to talk about strategy over the protests taking place on the field. The owners just arrived here in new york for the meeting. Coy wire, cnns sports anchor, former nfl star and team rep, joins us now. Coy, what can we expect today . John, i first must mention this is an unprecedented move that were seeing the nfl players and the Players Association join together with the League Owners in their league meeting. As a former player rep with the union during my playing dayses there this is a normally contentious day between the parties. There was screaming, shouting. Thats not case here. Ive spoken to several nfl players and League Executives that feel the protests have been inaccurately pegged as protests of our flag, nation, and military and that has damaged the image of the players and league as a whole. There is a concerted effort to get the messaging and protests back on track. Can the league and players Work Together . Absolutely. They already have been. Working behind the scenes for over a year now. Ive already joined forces to create positive change regarding social and racial inequality in our country. Commissioner goodell has been meeting with players to find out how the league can help the players create positive change. Just last month in philadelphia meeting with eagle safety malcolm jen kins who has been one of the champions for change alongside leaders in the community, goodell met with eagle players, law enforcement, government officials, team owner jeffrey laurie, that you see there all to get a better understanding of how the league can help create positive social change alongside the players. The league has also been putting their money where their mouth is matching Colin Kaepernicks Million Dollar pledge. The 49ers donated 1 million as well to organizations that address social inequities. The packers and head coach Mike Mccarthy pledged 100,000 to the Green Bay Police foundation. Other teams as well like the dolphins, colts and seahawks, committing funds. Now the league wants to see what else can they do to help the players in their communities. One nfl executive told me that aim of this owners meeting will be to work towards a solution that will result in a clearcut plan to bring stability and resolution to the concerns of the players regarding the injustices they see in their communities and i have just been told im able to report that there will be in february of the first of its kind the nfl players and players from other sports professional leagues coming together at Morehouse College and will discuss how they can be better advocates and activists for social change in their communities. Ive been part of those meetings that have been going on about a year now. Big meeting today with the owners and players. Well be able to report on that for you guys tomorrow of what we see. Fascinating. Thank you for the update on that, whats going to be ahead in february, thank you. Youre welcome. We have breaking news overseas. Isis de facto capital raqqah has been liberated.
