Pause. so when you think about the fact that we are right now in the midst of this mass incarceration. 2.2 million americans behind bars. one million fathers behind bars. 65 million plus americans with a criminal record and senator sessions stands for mandatory min yums. you have blue state moving in the same way together. and we have a nominee for the department of justice who wants to roll back or rather turn back the clock. and, so, its a matter of focussing on the record. i want to be clear ...

This effort. >> do you believe the president-elect is taking it seriously enough? he made a statement after the briefing, rather than focussing solely on the fact that they have wagedcyber battle. hes clearly concerned about his perception that this is an attempt to delegitimize his victory. >> anderson, after watching some of the tweeting thats gone on these last few weeks, that statement was a step in the better direction. he talked about having a constructive meeting. he did indicate his resp...

Is worth reminding everyone that donald trump never released his tax returns, after promising that he would do them. and that does lead to some reasonable suspicion. my own gut is, it probably isnt that. maybe there are some loans from russian oligarchs tied to putin, but he seems to have developed a fascination for putin personally and the fact that hes very strong and effective and doesnt have to deal with all the constraints of democracy. berlusconi of italy had a similar fascination with put...

>> i think you would expect pretty strong questioning at least and probably lock step opposition to people like tom price for hhs, scott pruett to head the epa, and some other folks like that. the problem for democrats, though, is that you kind of only -- you kind of have on pick and choose. you cant be against everybody or you become the obstructionist party that they have been complaining about for the eight years of the obama administration. a part of me thinks that president-elect trump has ...

Government instead of focussing on that. they kind of cant get out of their own way sometimes. >> they need to stop and think before they act. lets go back to capitol hill for breaking news and whether you are a democrat, republican, or independent, it sounds like, manu, that we should all say thank you, mr. president-elect. >> well, a major about-face, republicans have just dropped that ethics change, that change to the ethics rules -- the ethics committee would investigate members going forwar...

On the tea party beat. tremendous energy out there in the conservative grass roots to basically repeal and end obamacare. not just tinker with it. can you walk us through where that political energy goes if the proposals were hearing about dont sound like an immediate overnight end? >> were seeing a period of conservative legislating that we havent really seen in about two decades since newt gingrich came in in 1995 with that republican revolution. right now republicans are telling me theyre foc...

And beyond the limits of tweets, this is not a president who makes it easy to keep up with what is going on inside his administration or what is coming. excellent reporting is never easy and is often risky in multiple ways of as a business, it is literally risky. some of the best reporting on presidential politics was done by the whington post. their newsroom is a ten-minute walk from the white house. its worked, because the post says theyre hiring five dozen more journalists. the jobs are sprea...

Be good spouses, the whole of it, but the problem comes that when you respond to that anxiety about time with systems and advice that involve just thinking more and more about time and focussing on time, you get into this kind of hysterical situation where you are constantly even more stressed than you were. even if it works, even if you get more efficient answering e-mails, doing the chores, whatever it is, you end up in this kind of efficiency mindset where the moment you try to relax. you are...

Bernie sanders? jill st ein. you can point the finger and say it wasnt my fault. it was your fault. the democrats need to decide on why they lost so they can move forward and learn how to make. the other mistake they want to worry about making is maybe theyre all right, and maybe donald trump is a unique political figure and should they change their entire game plan because of -- to take care of the next donald trump? maybe they didnt do anything wrong. >> well, theres no examination so far at a...

Time. kept the emergency personnel back for some time. and this is the third time theres been an explosion just at this factory since 2005. and seven in mexico all total in the last couple of decades. as you might imagine, very popular used fireworks after christmas mass in mexico. similar to fourth of july here. they do it on their own, you have to believe, there may be changes. >> sad. adam housely reporting live, thank you. something goes very wrong inside a cargo plane. unbelievable footag...
