About syrias vicious and cruel attack on those innocent people, including children. National security adviser h. R. Mcmaster raising that question in an interview yesterday. What would she do is ask russia, how could it be if you have advisers at that air field that you didnt know that the Syrian Air Force was preparing and executing a mass murder attack with chemical weapons. Now, nbc new has not confirmed the russians knew, and in fact, Senior Intelligence sources telling us they have doubts about key elements of the a. P. s story. However, we know russia teamed up with iran to send a warning to the u. S. , saying they will respond with force to anyone who crosses their, quote, red lines. Now, all of this dangerously raising the stakes for secretary of state rex sitillersons trip tomorrow to moscow, and adding to the confusion right now, top s. Fficia dt even agree on whether syrian president Bashar Aassad should stay in power. Regime change is something that we think is going to hap
Starts right now. Good evening, im katy tur in for chuck todd in new york. Days after strikes on the syrian air field, americas role in the region remains unclear. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley said regime change should be on the way. Here she is with our own chuck todd on sundays meet the press. In no way do we so peace in the area with russian covering up for assad and no way do we see peace in the area with assad as the head of the seeyrian government. Uprooting assad didnt sneak up with tillersons statements. While sis sis is in focus, assads fate is not defined. The strategy in syria, our priority is first the defeat of isis, then we hope to turn our attention to achieving ceasefire agreements between the regime and opposition forces. We are hopeful that w can work with russia and use their influence to achieve areas of stabilization throughout syria and it is through that political process that we believe the Syrian People will be able to decide the fate of Bashar Al Assad.

Knowing about contacts with russian officials. Flynns testimony to the contrary could be politically fatal to trump. And theres no doubt that the russia investigation was on the president s mind this week. He sent this tweet late last night. Since the first day i took office, all you hear is the phony democrat excuse for losing the election. Russia, russia, russia. Despite this, i have the economy booming and i have possibly done more than any tenmonth president. Make America Great again, in all caps. Lets get to our reporters and guests from the Washington Post, White House Bureau chief, phil rucker, republican strategist, Steve Schmidt. Former federal prosecutor, mario ren regnati, and zerlina maxwell, formerly with the clinton campaign, now the director for progressive programming with sirius xm, and james pindel, thank you all for being with us. Phil rucker, let me start with you. I spoke to a trump confidant not on the white house staff. But someone in close contact with the white
number? well, i do think that one of the reasons that we can t get rid of politicians, they stay in congress forever, as i write in the book, the founders wanted them to leave the farm and go to washington, d.c. but now they would rather buy the farm than leave the farm than go back to the farm. i think it s because of this lifestyle. they have become accustom, this lifestyle they have become accustom to. it wouldn t surprise me if ron desantis has a taste now for flying private. i ve heard it s nice. but by the way, ron desantis just became a millionaire. he was as recently as two months ago, he was his net worth was $300,000 and now because of his book he s a millionaire. so, maybe he s a filthy rich politician. all right. matt lewis, karen finney, thank you both. good to see you here in washington. alabama democrats are ripping governor cay ivy over the newly proposed congressional map she has just signed. it includes just one majority
governor death sentence. i mean yeah. that s what people are saying. that s what people are calling him. and they should. i just want to go back to first of all, elise, i m glad you re well. i followed your nightmare on twitter. i know of so many breakthrough cases and some of them are tough. but go back to cay ivy. i cannot leave it alone. she thinks it s better to shame people to say the regular folks who have common sense as opposed to doing the public health basics and requiring the vaccine. so she can shame her voters but when joe biden says it s time to do it, people, she s then going to stand up to joe biden. i mean, it s just so disturbing. but, yeah, i mean, governor death sentence is going to be living with the political ramifications of what he s done for awhile. and i hope it s serious,
