Well, my husband gave me the most romantic thing. I found this on my keychain. At first i thought it was a can opener or a flashlight but it is actually a whistle. When someone loves you they want to protect you and we have a lot of protection going on here. We have a group of special guests. Firefighters. The oakland fire department. Spoke very good. Come on over. You are not shy. Come on over. You guys responded to something at the station that happens to me all the time. We were doing the news at 8 30 and we heard the fire alarm but it was a false alarm. I do appreciate that. Everybody file into here. We do have a cooking segment so we had some smoke. I set off the fire alarm all the time at my house. In this case it was from the cooking segment but i wanted to highlight the good men and women of the fire department. Engine 12. Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. Very good. Lets talk politics coming up. Thank you for keeping us safe. A little excitement early on. It is friday
Senators strike a bipartisan deal to stabilize the Insurance Markets. For now. Senator alexander and senator murray Just Announced they had an agreement.

Finally, have we entered a new chapter in the mccain trump feud. At some point i fight back, and it wont be pretty. This is mtp daily, and it starts right now. Good evening, im chuck todd here in washington. Welcome to mtp daily. Scapegoats, petty fights, and unfounded accusations, the Trump Administration has readied itself to this rinse and repeat style of governance which is mostly chaotic. If you want to talk about governance and the chaos that comes with it, there is no bigger issue than health care. In fact this afternoon the president thr
This on the same day that another republican senator, this one named bob corker goes after the president again and again and again. His motto is to divide and to attempt to bully and to use untruths. Two socalled Establishment Republicans basically saying, ive had it with the president , and i cant do this anymore. If i have been critical, it is because i believe it is my obligation to do so. And as a matter and duty of conscience. You would think he would aspire to be the president of the United States and act like a president of the United States. And the winner in all of this could be President Trump, who now is sure to be rid of two republicans who were sharply critical of his campaign and his presidency. Did we just see the trump wing of the Republican Party triumph in the first fight in this republican civil war . When he gets hit, hes going to hit back. This is mtp daily, and it starts right now. Well, in a congressional year of impossibles, we have seen the improbable is it the

And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. You do whatever you want . You grab them by the [ bleep ]. They went out and bought a big yacht, and they had a very interesting life. Im not going to tell you what he did because youre boy scouts. Should i tell you . You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out,
Was fighting tax cuts and will now fight tax cuts but theres nothing public from senator corker that he might be against tax cuts. So what was the president referring to, has senator corker said privately to the president that hes against tax cuts . I dont know that hes against them, but hes certainly demonstrated his unwillingness to step forward and work with the president to get this done. And the people of his state have demanded and requested him 20 do so. Do you think senator mccain and corker and flake will vote for tax cuts, because you need the three of them . I certainly think the American People hope they do. The president wanted senator corker to resign and you didnt want to go there. In light of whats happened since, has the president changed his position on that and at the very least, does the president think that senator corker should step down as head of the Senate Relations committee, especially as the president told senator corker today that he wants to investigate so
