They run the gamut in terms of their ultimate chances of winning this thing as far as we can predict that at this point. From williamson to gillibrand and warren and harris, this has been a history making sixwoman tabibili t tableau. The last president ial nominee, who did win the popular vote by several million votes, was a woman named hillary clinton. The most powerful democrat in washington right now, the most powerful woman elected in the history of the u. S. Government is the current democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi. These six Democratic Women all running for president in the same field, similarly, thats a way of melting down the Glass Ceiling in top tier american politics. Contending at that level also inevitably entailed some off ramped. Tonight, we have a woman candidate dropping out of the democratic race for president. Of the six women who made the first two democratic debates, only three of the six are going to make it on stage for the next debate. The third deba
Including a Big Development we need to tell you about in a story that we have been covering. The Trump Administration targeting sick kids, targeting kids with lifethreatening illnesses, putting them on notice they need to stop the medical care keeping them alive and get out of the country in a month, all of a sudden. We have been covering that for more than a week now. There was a very Interesting Development on that story today. We will have that for you a little later on in the show this hour. We have got a Key California congressman joining us live to talk about one of the big problems with the Trump Administrations plans to raid funds for the u. S. Military to take those funds away from the military and instead use them to build the wall, the wall that the president said mexico would pay for. Theres an emerging serious problem with that plan by the Trump Administration. We will talk about that tonight. Lots still to come. Of course, the developing story that we have been watching c
A new trump role would deport undocumented immigrants receiving life saving medical care. I have an exclusive guest on that. The impeach. Kcaucus gets a little bigger as another democratic announces hes in favor of an impeachment inquiry. It saw a 2020 democrat drop out of the race. We start with the new explosive reports about trumps efforts to bypass procedures, defy regulations and break laws as he tries to build his long promised border wall. The Washington Post says hes directed aides to fast track billions of dollars of contracts, aggressively seize land and disregard environmental rules telling them to take the land and ensuring worried aide, dont worry. Ill pardon you. A white house official saying trump is joking when he makes these remarks. The New York Times matching the post reporting. The post reporting trump told aide that if failure to deliver on this promise of his 2016 campaign would be a let down and an embarrassing defeat. One thing is true, not a single mile of new
Committee today that adam schiff released is the Inspector Generals work hard to try to open the door for the whistleblower to go straight to the committee and eventually the Inspector General just had to tell the committee that hes reached an impasse with the acting director and the acting director is blocking the way with the support of attorney general william barr. Yeah. And schiff is now warning that the Inspector General himself i might not be protected from prosecution or reprisal from the Trump Administration here as he tries make this thing known. Its not even his complaint. Hes just trying to take care of it and protect that whistleblower. He may himself be in their legal crosshairs by doing so if they continue down this road. Its dystopic. And we have a former Inspector General joining us tonight. E so we will get a view from someone whos been there about how to make sense of all of this. Excellent. E thanks, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. We have so much ground to cover for y
But there is this weird situation where the whistleblower theoretically can convey that information directly to the committee. But its almost impossible to do so legally without the channel being opened for that person. And the Trump Administration wont open the channel. So schiff has to be totally responsible in terms of what he can promise that person in terms of retaliation, protection from prosecution, all of those things. I mean, this is incredibly high stakes for everybody involved at this point. Yeah. And as we saw in the Inspector Generals letters to the committee today that adam schiff released is the Inspector Generals work hard to try to open the door for the whistleblower to go straight to the committee and eventually the Inspector General just had to tell the committee that hes reached an impasse with the acting director and the acting director is blocking the way with the support of attorney general william barr. Yeah. And schiff is now warning that the Inspector General
