Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. If there were any lingering doubts today, the Republican Party officially became the party of roy moore. Party elites rallied around the antigay birther after he handily beat their preferred candidate in alabamas gop primary this week. Today from the podium the White House Press secretary declined to condemn some of moores inflammatory views. Judge moore says homosexuality should be illegal, he said sandy hook was some sort of divine retribution, he said Keith Ellison should not be permitted to serve in congress because hes a muslim. So without asking about the specifics of the race, does President Trump share any of those views that i just mentioned . And if not, why does he think this person is fit to be a u. S. Senator . Not that im aware of. I have not, uh, taken a deep dive on every comment that the senator or the Senate Nominee has made. But i certainly know where the president stand on this those issues and wouldnt see any parallel between the two of them on that front. Following moores victory on tuesday, defeating the candidate backed by the president , Vice President , and Senate Majority leader, the president s Political Capital is now arguably at its lowest point to date. He was defied by his own base voters in alabama. His poll numbers are back down again after he picked a fight with the nfl and his partys latest attempt to repeal obamacare just crashed and burned. Things may be however even worse for that man, mitch mcconnell, who is now facing a wholesale rebellion from the gops grassroots. According to mcconnells own super pac, the one he pays for, raises money for, Senate Leadership fund, the Republican Congress has replaced president obama as the bogeyman for conservative gop primary voters. Just look at, yeah, that chart, Mcconnells Net Approval among 2016 trump voters which peaked at more than plus 30 points in
they would rally to his cause so quickly. How do you feel about that comment particularly, as someone who cares deeply about the folks there and who represents the state of connecticut . It brings tears to my eyes. I mean, the idea that the Republican Party is wrapping their arms around someone who got up in front of a large audience and said, as people can watch, its on video, that the people of sandy hook, because they stopped following god, prompted a divine intervention which led to the murder of 20 kids, is abhorrent. The idea that he is being brought into the Mainstream Infrastructure of the Republican Party, when that is just one of a myriad of outrageous things he said, it is its really bonechilling to those of us who come from sandy hook. I want to pivot to Something Else just because i have you here and the story is breaking, which is tom price. And from multiple angles. Were going to cover a little bit what was hes been doing on the travel front with his itinerary now going up to 1
statebased efforts to try to tell people what obamacare is, you are hurting americans. And so this is i think as troubling as it gets. But as you know, its part of a pattern here. They pulled out 90 of the advertising money. They wont pay the insurers more than a month ahead of time. Theyve told the irs to stop enforcing the individual mandate. They are intentionally sabotaging in every way, way, shape and form the Affordable Care act, hurting americans. Republicans better put a stop to this, because ultimately even if they dont care about the policy here, the politics will haunt them. People know what trump is doing and they are going to hold republicans accountable. Thats an open question, i guess. It seems to the extent theres a strategic imperative here, and i guess if you give him the most good faith interpretation, they think the law is harmful so theyre not enforcing it to stop that harm. Strategically the idea they can cause collapse and that will force in a crisis moment their ability to repeal obamacare. Yeah, and weve told them from the beginning that that wont be the case, that you are not going to essentially put a gun to the heads of our constituents and congress and force us to act. And i hope that better angels are going to prevail. We are very close to a deal in the senate to try to keep the parts of the hak that are working and stabilize the parts that arent. And my hope is some of these actions by the Trump Administration push republicans in the senate to work with democrats to stabilize these markets. All right, senator chris murphy, thank you as always. Thanks. For more on republicans faustian bargain, maddie dupler, a conservative lobbying group. And host of The Majority Report podcast. Maddie, let me start with you. I know youre a tax person and work the on tax issues. I guess the question that i have for conservatives is, what is it worth, tax reform, to you . Is roy moore worth it,
basically . All right, as you said, ive been neckdeep in the Tax Framework since its release yesterday, so i havent been following every senators response you and senators who havent read the roy moore clip. I will dispute republicans are giving some warm bear hug to the senator, that the entire establishment opposed in his primary. Its been 48 hours since he has become the republican nominee for that race. So i would say theres been tepid maybe discussion about him, but this notion that he is somehow the crown prince for the Republican Party is just simply laughable. Well, i mean, just as point of fact, he was embraced by ted cruz, who welcomed him. Vice president mike pence had gushing words about him. The president called him a great guy, called him to congratulate him, also put him on twitter. Corey gardner who runs the Republican SenatorialCampaign Said hes happy to have him to
make america great. So im not making this up. Maybe you think theyre not being truthful. And i guess the question for you, sam, is, are they basically faking it . It doesnt matter. Right. Look, this is the same story with donald trump too. We saw the exact same story. The establishment had big problems with donald trump until they thought, this is going to be our way to appeal the Affordable Care act, this is going to be our way to get a conservative supreme court, this is going to be our way to finally get some type of Tax Reform Overhaul thats going to last more than ten years, permanent like they did during the reagan administration. I would add just to the list you made, mike pence works with roy moore over ten years ago on the constitution restoration act, which said that judges, Congress Should Fire judges that dont admit that our law is based on the word of god. So mike pence might have a little sense of a background of roy moore, didnt have to go back and check his quotes that hes had over those years. Heres my other question, maddie. I get the sense, all the
republicans ive talked to, its like this is it at the end of the rainbow. They want tax this tax bill so badly. Ive been hearing about it since the president was elected. The president went into a restaurant the night after he was elected and said, im going to cut your taxes, at an expensive new york restaurant. How badly do republicans want this . If youve only been hearing this since january you havent been listening to me for years, which is tax reform is the biggest priority for people who believe in from enterprise and progrowth economics. Its not a radical departure for republicans. No, not at all. To get tax reform done. And i think that with the framework that was released yesterday, youre going to start to see a lot of pressure on democrats, in particular the three that did not sign the Senate Democrats letter saying they Wouldnt Support Tax Reform that didnt raise taxes on the rich. Theres going to be a lot of difficult decisions for democrats and republicans i think are in a good space to move forward on the framework they released yesterday. That i think is a question. Its an open question. One thing on the other side is, if we dont have all the details, but its going to raise some peoples taxes. Its about going to raise peoples taxes who are some at the bottom of the scale, some in the upper middle class, some between the upper middle class and middle class . Two instructions struck me. Mnuchin and gary kohn both said on national television, well, we never promised taxes Wouldnt Go Up On admit class people. But this is going to be one of those situations where the details of the tax plan are fairly easy to understand. 1. 5 trillion worth of tax cuts that are going mostly to wealthy people. And theres another story here. And it starts and ends in kansas. They have taken Sam Brownback and theyve jettisoned him into the ether in some type of ambassador to religion i think at this point. For the Trump Administration. But the fact of the matter is, everything theyre doing in washington, everything theyre proposing right now, was done. There was a fiveyear experiment in kansas. It destroyed the kansas economy. It destroyed their educational system. This story is going to get out. So if they dont do this super quick, theyre going to have a similar problem they had with the Affordable Care act. The problem, maddie, do you think that the republicans are in a situation similar to the aca . It struck me in the aca, republicans were trying to sell repeal and replace sort of on rib lals terms, right . So they were saying, lower premium, more coverage. Even though the bill wasnt going to do that. Here you have republicans saying, as opposed to making a Supply Side Argument about why you have to cut taxes on capital and why people at the top of the Income Distribution need to pay less in taxes, theyre making an argument fundamentally saying, this is populist, this is not going to help people at the top, this is going to help people in the middle class. When the numbers arent going to bear that out. So i think its interesting that both you and sam somehow have been able to score a framework that none of the Bean Counters here in washington have been able to do, because theres not enough details. I dont think its clear at all
that this is not going to be a framework that doesnt deliver relief for the middle class and lower income earners. I do think in the framework it was interesting that it said the plan will be at least as progressive as the current tax code. That certainly is a departure from what weve seen in years past. I do think that it also shows a Learning Curve for republicans. It shows conservatives looking at the tax code and looking at what they want to accomplish and asking themselves, how do we communicate what these values are and how they impact real americans . I think were with the framework, with the idea that this will actually deliver for average income earners. Were starting to learn that. Right, so in terms of the scoring, people are taking a bunch of rough estimates because some of the details havent been filled in. Well have you back on the program when the actual datas there and the numbers. Im confident rich people will get a big tax cut. Id be willing to bet. We could make a donation to charity over it or something. Which youre still going to be able to itemize, i hear. Im repeating what mnuchin and kohn said on national television. The bottom line is, we know what
happens when you get rid of the estate tax. Maybe theyre not doing it. We know what happens when you cut taxes on highincome earners. It doesnt spur the Economic Growth that weve been sold. We dont hear much of the Laugher Curve that much unless youre on fox News Business channel because this has all been debunked. So they have a problem. Theyre trying to make it about an easy form fitted on a postcard. But look, thats not really that much of an issue. Three levels of taxation versus seven. Its not that big of a deal. All right, Maddie Depler and sam see are, thank you both. The tom price jet scandal exploded again. International flights, the total spent for his private travel topping 1 million from taxpayers. Most familiar compani, but we make more than our name suggests. Were an organic tea company. A premium juice company. A Coconut Water company. Weve got drinks for long days. For birthdays. For turning over new leaves. And we make them for every moment in every corner of the country. We are the cocacola company, and were proud to offer so much more. This. Are you going to be fired . I think weve still got the confidence of the president , and we continue to work on important issues like flu vaccines. Its been a painful day for health and Human Services secretary tom price after getting a flu shot to try to promote vaccinations besieged with questions following weeks of revelations about his use of private Charter Flight on this the taxpayers dime and the white house refused to defend him. Look, as the president said yesterday, hes not thrilled, certainly not happy. Does Secretary Price expect to keep his job in this administration . I think the president s addressed this yesterday. Were going through this process. Were going to conduct a full review. And well see what happens. Late this afternoon, tom price finally made a qualified apology after the hhs insisted for a week everything was aboveboard. In part, i regret the concerns this has raised regarding the use of taxpayer dollars, i will take no more private Charter Flights as secretary of hls, no
exceptions. I will write a personal check to the u. S. Treasury for the expenses of my travel on private charter planes. The taxpayers wont pay a dime for my seat on those planes. My seat. Turns out that, yes, price plans to just pay for his lone seat of his chartered flights, not the entire bill. Hhs says he will write a check for 51,887, out of the reported 400,000 Charter Flight bill. Thats just oneeighth the cost of 26 Charter Flights he kept taking even after politico started reporting on his private jet expenses. And tonight things just got even worse for Secretary Price. Politico reporting that the white house approved the use of Military Aircraft for multinational trips by price to africa and europe this spring, to asia in the numb summer, costing over 500,000 to taxpayers. The trips bring the total cost to taxpayers of prices travels of over 1 million since may, according to political review. Dan diamond coauthored that
incredible piece of reporting. He joins me now. 1 million sounds like a lot of money. Is it a lot of money in context and in comparison . Thats the sort of whats the apples to apples here . Its a lot of money in comparison to what other Cabinet Secretaries have spent or at least has been reported. I think tom price is well out this front when it comes to his frequent flier travel. Weve over the past week, ive talked about it with you, youve covered it quite well. First a report of more than 50,000 up and down the east coast ballooned to 300,000, then 400,000, now were over 1 million. In terms of his travel in just four months. And this is a guy who as a congressman railed for years about government waste. But now is using the government for what many would say is wasteful spending. I want to break this down into two parts. Lets talk about his apology today. Given that youve been reporting and going back and forth with hhs, theyve been insisting hes busy, this is all aboveboard, its war rarpted and justified,
what did you make of prices apology today . Well, i would say that it caught us a little by surprise, chris. My partner Raja Praud Dan and i have been talking to hhs about this specific story. The International Travel piece is more nuanced than Domestic Travel, the white house signed off on it, its a little more clear maybe a Cabinet Secretary needs a plane to get to africa in a way that they dont need a private jet to get to nashville. But hhs knew the number was going to be big. They went very quiet on us. We heard about the apology at the same time as everyone else. We havent gotten the confirmation from them that price is going to pay 52,000. They seem to have told every other news outlet in town except for politico. Sending you a message, do you think . Okay, ill just interpret that. Heres my question for you. It also was a little misleading i thought when he said taxpayers wont pay a dime for my seat. Just to be clear here, those flight that is youve reported
on, They Werent Chartered for someone else and tom price was like, hey, can i get a ride . They were chartered, the whole plane, so that tom price could go to a place. Right . They werent chartered for his 25yearold Press Secretary or body man. Those planes wouldnt have taken off if not for tom price and hhs saying he needed them. And all week, even this morning, chris, i was being told by hhs these were necessary, these were defensible, and something changed to the point where he felt the need to not only apologize, but very carefully apologize, but say that he would pay 11 , roughly, of the total cost of his Domestic Travel. Havent heard anything on the International Travel yet. Though again, a little more nuanced, other Cabinet Secretaries take these planes too. Its just he was taking them, again, berlin to jen theyve yeah, beijing, tokyo, cities where there are lots of commercial options for a lot less. One clip of the president who jokingly threatened to fire tom price if Obamacare Repeal went
down. I want you to look at that clip and give your sense where his job security is, take a listen. He better get him. Otherwise ill say, tom, youre fired ill get somebody. Whats his Job Security Situation at this moment . Hes in hot water. My colleagues, josh daws, reported carefully how annoyed the white house is with this story for a couple reasons. First, its impossible to defend when it comes to the Domestic Travel. Second, there are Communication Miscues between hhs and the white house. Hhs thought this would be essentially a oneday story, it has turned into much more than that. While the white house has been more defensive or more willing to defend on the international piece, the Domestic Travel in just the sheer total, 1 million plus is a lot for anyone, especially a Cabinet Secretary whos only been in office for a handful of months. More than the total of
suggested budget cuts the Travel Budget Of Hhs suggested by tom price himself, i would note. Dan diamond, fantastic reporting, many thanks. Thanks to raja pradhan too. What do you make of this incredible bill that tom price has racked up . Its interesting that the white house approved it. But its something that would have never been approved in most administrations. I would have never thought of taking a Military Flight or a Charter Flight when at commercial option was available at a cost reduction. The money should be spent on protecting the health and Human Services that the department offers, not on flying the secretary even to essential meetings. What do you make of the offer to sort of reimburse for 11 of the total cost of those Domestic Travel flights, after defending
them as essential . I would say its too little and too late. The cost of the flight is not the cost of his seat. The costs are the pilot, gas, use of the plane, and It Doesnt Matter whether the pilot flies one person or ten. And he cant pay for just one person when the entire airplane went somewhere. So that isnt, to me, a very acceptable offer. He ought to reimburse for the full price of what he paid, particularly on the domestic flights where he did not have white house approval. And the white house should be held accountable for its approving the International Flights. Yeah, we should note theres distinctions in the International Flights and that some of the places are areas that its difficult and long to reach through commercial travel, some destinations in africa, some of them not difficult, for instance, berlin. Places like that where commercial air travel works fine. Right . Yes. That would be true. But even to none of the places i saw listed are places you could not go commercially. And yes, the secretary is a busy and important person and deserves to have some ability to work while hes flying. I agree to all that. But i think this has gotten at 1 million to be totally excessive and unacceptable. All right, former watergate prosecutor jim wein, thanks, General Counsel of the d. O. D. , thank you very much. Still to come, new details on the scope of the russianbought propaganda on facebook and twitter and how the russian troll farms havent slowed down a bit. Wondering, what if . I let go of all those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of Chronic Hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. And is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious Liver Problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. I wish i could tell you were going to be able to stop all interference, but that just wouldnt be realistic. There will always be bad actors in the world and we cant prevent all governments from all interference. Were getting a clearer picture of the scope of russian Social Media Propaganda efforts in the last election. Today twitter told congressional investigators it has shut down 201 accounts tied to the same russian operatives who posted thousands of political ads on facebook. Facebook having previously reveal the it had identified more than 100,000 worth of divisive ads on hotbutton issued purchased by a shadowy Russian Company link the to the kremlin. Facebook shut down 470 russialinked accounts that purchased those ads and is turning them over to congress. The shuttered pages generating content like this. Which masqueraded as an american activist group. Another kremlinlinked page promoted protrump rallies. Heart of texas tried to generate
support for the state to secede and sought to organize anticlinton rallies across texas. United muslims of america which the daily beast reported was neither muslim northern american, memes where Hillary Clinton admitted the u. S. Created and funded and armed larkd. Heres the thing, theyre still at it. The fake tweet from boston antifa which actually came from vlad stock, russia, right after this. That independence is the way to accomplish. But there is another way to live. A way that sees the only path to fulfillment is through others. That our time here can be deep beyond measure. No one who chose interdependence ever found despair. Because what the world taught as weakness, is in fact our greatest virtue. The whole Country Booking on Choice Hotels. Com. Four words, badda book. Badda boom. Let it sink in.

Sent out purporting to come from boston antifa in support of more Gender Incluesity with nfl fans including take a knee. The folk behind the post forgot to remove the geo tag revealing it originated in vladivostok, russia. This is not an isolated case. The russians who use social media to boost donald trump during the campaign did not stop after election day. Researchers have been publicly tracking 600 twitter accounted they have linked to russianinfluenced operations which have been pushing opposing messages on the nfl and the national anthem. Weve watched the russians and their troll farms and their internet folks start hash tagging out take a knee, hash tagging out boycott nfl. Taking both sides of the argument this past weekend and pushing them out from their troll farms as much as they could to raise the noise level
in america, to make a big issue seem like a bigger issue, trying to push divisiveness in the country. Fbi agent and msnbc Intelligence Analyst author of how to catch a spy, and the author of the plot to hack america. Getting a clearer picture or the beginnings of a clearer picture of this part of what the russians have been up to in american politics. What are your sort of big takeaways of what were learning, malcolm . Well, the biggest takeaway is the russians have completely weaponized the internet. And they certainly have used twitter with great effectiveness. I know the Senate Intelligence committee is just starting to take a look at twitter and their ads during the campaign. I can personally tell you there were thousands of russian twitter bots putting out the exact same data every day. And it was no surprise that the take a knee hash tag was being used as well as boycott nfl, but they werent putting out
different messages. They were using an antinfl, antitake a knee stance even when they were using the take a knee hash tag. So all they were doing right there was harnessing our campaign and the information that was going out about the opposition to the anthem and weaponizing that for their own purposes. Not to create chaos, but to actually push one side of that argument, which was the protrump side. Naveed, i know youve worked in tech as well along with the work that youve done at the fbi. And theres some sense i think that i cant tell whether folks like twitter or facebook are essentially being obscuring what they know, or they dont actually know what their own platform is doing. Thats a great question, great point. I think that what were relying on is forprofit corporations to essentially selfregulation. Thats what were asking for. Facebook and twitter are not necessarily in the business of stopping a foreign intelligence
service, thats the short of it. There are clearly things that both can do. You saw the change business facebook. Facebook essentially moved away from anonymous accounts. Everyone should have two factor authentication on their account. Twitter, theres a mismatch, a problem where essentially its easy to register for an account, anonymous account, you dont have to use a phone number which anyone in the Intelligence Community can tell you is a big part of this. If you actually have a phone number tied to an account, it makes it harder to replicate. You can only use one phone number per account. These are things that clearly twitters not motivated to do that because they want a higher user base, which impacts their bottom line, which impacts their corporation. The problem is we need to look, as malcolm is saying, the russians are here. This is a move theyre going to continue to use. As i said in april, there needs to be a reboot of our counterintelligence capabilities. Malcolm, you use a word effective. I want to sort of Play Devils Advocate or express my own kept sim, frankly. Which is im looking at these things, 100,000 spent on
facebook ads, 175,000 spent on some twitter ads. Those are relatively big numbers in the world of digital ad buys. But in the scope of the american conversation, theyre tiny. I mean, i guess my question is, its very clear that the russians are doing this and have an intent to use it in some way. But im not sold that its particularly effective given just the vast ocean of content that is sort of circulating around in the country. Well, i would challenge that. I think that the russians to a certain extent, if you look at the twitter buy theyre now finding out was around 260,000, if you were to translate that effectiveness just within the ocean that was the protrump world, they were pretty much the salt in the ocean. That was an enormous buy. And that buy translates, could possibly translate, to the equivalence of 100 million,
500 million in cable tv. But you have to understand, on facebook, facebook is the largest social media platform. And there were these small hubs of followers who were out there propagating this information. But they were getting their leads coming from these russian bots who were making up these images and ads that were patently protrump. And these people were taking them and propagating them for them. We call this marionetting. They were manipulating these people, real humans in the united states, through these fake bots coming from a foreign intelligence agencys propaganda warfare divisions. Thats significant. And it cant be ignored. Twitter has done a good job and facebook has done a good job of going after isis media. Now Foreign Intelligence Services actively doing propaganda, theyre going to have to treat them like isis propaganda. Naveed, quickly, do you think what we see right now is the tip of the iceberg . Is the scope of this as we learn
more going to be revealed to be far larger than just the part that weve seen . Absolutely. I mean, 100,000 for an intelligence operation is measured in minutes. Its nothing. The russians clearly put we have did look at this bigger. The intent of the russian operation was not to go after anything other than our democracy. They did it both in the united states, they did it in germany, they did it in france. When you think about the scope of that, you realize 100,000 is less than 1 , so its a bigger operation here.

Aarp medicare plans, from unitedhealthcare. Thing 1 tonight. Republicans have been trying to kill the estate tax for years. And for years theyve been disingenuously claiming youve got to kill it for the farmers. Donald trump is pushing the old
line like weve never heard it before. To protect millions of Small Businesses and the american farmer, we are finally ending the crushing, the horrible, the unfair estate tax, or as it is often referred to, the death tax. The farmers in particular are affected. They have wonderful farms but they cant pay the tax. So they have to sell the farm so that death tax is a disaster for this country and a disaster for so many Small Businesses and farmers. We will protect our farmers, our ranchers, and our Small Businesses. Its a good line. And also patently false. The usda says the number of farms that would owe estate tax is less than. 5 . There is one farmers family who would definitely benefit from the repeal of that tax. Green acres is the place to be farm living is the life for me
just give me that countryside thing 2 in 60 seconds. 10 billion. If thats true, abolishing the estate tax could save his children literally billions. Just give me that countryside whoooo.

The white house has been clear and instructs staff to fully compile with president ial records acts. All staff is briefed on the need to preserve the records and will continue to do so. Senior members of the president s Team Including his daughter and soninlaw how to use email accounts. The white house is taking pains to ensure the public the staff havent broken laws but thats not all they are doing. Launching an internal probe of private email use. Pulling patches to and from private accounts. Josh joins me by phone and josh, what do we know about what they are doing in the white house . In recent days, white house lawyers started pulling batches
of emails from the server that are to and from white house officials believed to have used private email accounts. The Revolution Kushner and steve bannon and Reince Priebus and others used the private email accounts have rattled the White House Counsels Office by regards and a number of senior aids and the office is trying to make sure that they are compliance with the president ial records act. So we know that Aids Inside The White House have begun pulling batches to figure out what is in them, how wide spread is this and is there a particular vulnerability between the president and white house. There was a report today kushner had not told the Senate Intelligence committee when he testified before about his private email. Right. The committee sent a bipartisan letter to Jared Kushners lawyer
saying they were concerned that he had not disclosed this email account and relevant document on this account and also want to know if he was using any messaging apps or private services to communicate and if so, what those were and they want to see the documents, as well. His lawyer responded saying that there was nothing on the private email account relative to the investigation and disclose it. Its unclear where this goes from here. Thanks. Lets bring in host of The Majority Report pod cast. I dont care much personally about whether Jared Kushner was using an email or not. The president ial records act and not hiding things. But it is just astounding based on the campaign they were in. It really is astounding. Look, i fully believe that they came in. They have been incompetent since day one, that incompetence could
explain this. They didnt know, this seems to be a host of things that went out the window. The campaign, the percentage of the campaign that was founded upon the idea of emails, the primary argument against Hillary Clinton was that she should be locked up. You know, on one level, i dont want to be in any way surprised by this level of hypocrisy and another level is stunning. There is more of a line here, which is this basic poise tostu. Which was of course the case against Hillary Clinton. She didnt think the rules apply to her. Whether what the Clinton Foundation was doing. A lot of, but that was the case
and here you have an administration that is is apparently everyone is using private email whose Cabinet Secretaries are running up Million Dollar jet bills. I heard. While you were on air, there was a third was doing the same thing. With private jets. Charter jetter to co es to dome locations. It broke moments ago. There is a culture, i think, in this administration that the rules dont apply to us and sort of runs contrary to the theme they have been espousing. The amazing thing is is im not convinced this information is actually making it to the people with that notion. They werent elite and didnt proceed themself above the law because you can turn to rival networks and i can assure you they are not covering any of this. Let me say the tom price story, i think reaches out and the tom price story will get to people and i think the reason
that tom price would be fired is because it does. For the rule breaking, there is a difference between what they expect of trump and the people around thhim and for that reaso he will saw that limb off. Ill add to the Prediction Tom Price goes from one of the, you know, one of the anti establishment to immediately part of the establishment. One of in terms of the way hes represented by exactly. Trump cut loose another member of the establishment and he can finally get the Health Care Reform he wants. This is the way they regurgit e regurgitated and not just fox news. The president millions upon millions of americans out there living with one media in varied forms and thats all they hear and its a completely different story than the rest of the
