We will begin with the New York Times this morning. It says here we are giving your take on this this morning. What you think about this idea of banning sugary soda is in order to combat obesity . Washington times has this to say william in toledo, ohio is up first. What do you think . Caller i think the judge had it spot on. There are so many different loopholes in there. Specifically milkshakes. Milkshakes have much more sugar content than even the largest soda. I think the judge was absolutely correct. Host it sounds like to have been following this pretty closely. Caller i think it was personally a government intrusion. Although he is well intended, mr. Bloomberg is superseding the boundaries of his office. Host what to do you mean . Caller i can understand his ban on smoking. To go as far as sodas that
Host jonathan strong joins us on the phone this morning to talk about paul ryan unveiling his budget later this morning. We will have coverage on cspan at 10 30. Jonathan strong, lets talk about what we will see in this budget plan. Do we know the details . Guest good morning. He has released some of the details. He previewed the budget in an oped in the wall street journal that was released last evening. Kind of one of the big things here is that it essentially cuts 4. 6 trillion dollars over 10 years compared to current law. He is trying to put it in perspective in the oped, saying that under current law, Government Spending will increase five percent per year over those 10 years, and under his plan it will increase 3. 4 per year. The message coming out of paul ryan is that we dont have to make that tony and drastic cuts to reach balance in 10 years, which is the new feature of this budget.

Lost a true anchor. Wednesday night legendary bob simon died in a car accident on the way home from work here in manhattan. He had just finished a story that will air tonight. On thursday night my friend david carr died. David was the man who knew all these men, who covered them all, held them all to account. David helped us and helped them understand the revolutionary changes that keep coming coming coming in the media industry. David was the wisest most wired media reporter in this country. His monday column was the definition of a must read. He collapsed in the New York Times newsroom he loved so much. David used to say, i just want to get in the boat and row. He just wanted to help cover the big stories in the world of media. Today we will pick up an oar and try to row without him. Im joined by the best person to make sense of this weeks news carl bernstein, onehalf of the team that exposed watergate to the world.

Its creating an opportunity that while the houthis may be Shea Al Qaeda on the arabian peninsula, theyre sunni terrorists, they have aimed for a Strategic Strike against the United States and theyre now trying to take advantage of this window opportunity where we may not be able to monitor them. All things terror go back to yemen. Before the attacks of 9 11, when it was your ship that was attacked, off the coast of yemen and at the time we said that was a government with whom we had diplomatic relations not exactly warm and cozy but friendly, and its been anything but since. What now . I think we have had our ups and downs. One thing the previous government and even the current government after president selah was toppled from power, they gave us an opportunity to h
Nation is not extreme. Its reasonable and necessary to protect our country. I think its regrettable there was some confusion on the rollout of this. No one wanted to see people with green cards or special immigrant visas like translators get caught up in all of this. We didnt know the eo was coming. People were involved in the general drafting of it. The president reveals his Supreme Court pick later tonight. We have a team of reporters. Lets start with hallee jackson right outside the white house on the north lawn. I was struck by a question you asked in the briefing. You are talking a vow, a Campaign Idea donald trump had while he was campaigning talking about he thinks that the families of terrorists should be targeted. This is news again today because of that strike in yemen and news that an 8yearold girl was also killed in the attack, a Family Member of a terrorist or an alleged terrorist at the very least. You asked sean spicer about this and he seemed to make a little bit of new
