Their own polls cratering the senators who want you to forget theyre on the trump train. Senator john cornyn, been with me from the very beginning. As early voting starts in florida, what you can do to ensure your vote is actually counted and all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes and we are just over two weeks from the election or the end of the election or the end of the voting, may not be the end of the election, and the situation with the virus is just very bad and getting worse. Theres no other way to say it. Cases are spiking with new daily cases averaging more than 57,000 a day. Here is the even more worrying thing, hospitalizations, that key metric that doesnt depend on how much testing we are, we know how many people are in hospitals. That is trending up as well. It keeps climbing. 38,000 now currently hospitalized. Hospitals in some areas at or near capacity. Even with advances in treatment we are still, still losing more than 700 americans on ave
I decided, i guess it was, about ten days ago, november 29th, that the whole thing was becoming kind of very confusing and very difficult for the president elect and my desire to be in the cabinet was great, but it wasnt that great. And he had a lot of terrific candidates. Well, giuliani said the one name he does not think should fill a cabinet post is mitt romney. Lets get that. Lets listen. I probably agree with newt and be Mike Huckabee and a group of other very loyal supporters of president elect trump. I thought mitt went over the line in the things that he said about donald trump. You can make friends and make up, but i would not see him as a candidate for the cabinet. Well, thats for sure. Anyway, the state Department Post is one of the last cabinet posts that remains unfilled. An announcement is expected next week on that. Meanwhile, were watching a stage in grand rapids, michigan, where donald trump is set to address supporters at another thank you rally this hour. Well monito
Will vote be voted on for attor general. And the president s execive order was being developed, written and rolled out. The Associated Press reports, quote, at least three Top National Security officials, defense secretary jim mathes, john kelly and Rex Tillerson were not aware of the details until the time trump signed it. The report goes on, mattis, who stood next to trump during fridays signing ceremony, is particularly incensed. A senior u. S. Official says mattis along with joint chiefs Joseph Dunford was aware of the general concept of trumps order but not the details. Tillerson has told the president s political advisers he was baffled over not being consulted on the sub stance of the order. Then theres lawmakers, insiders blasted communication with the hill as terrible. Newt gingrich told the Washington Post the problem theyve got is an offbroad way performance of a show that is now the number one hit on broadway. Its confirmed to nbc news that Michael Mccaul nor Bob Goodlatte
Was inappropriate that they had that type of conversation . No. Charlie . How important was the fbi directors failure to stop leaks going out of the fbi of the president . How important was that . I think that was probably one of the many factors. You cant deny somebody that that wasnt a problem, and so i think that waust another one of the many reasons that he no longer had the confidence of the president or the rest of the fbi. Can we expect more firings from the Justice Department . Not that im aware of today. Going forward, does the president want the department of justice to shut down what hes called the taxpayer funded charade investigation . He wants them to do whatever they see appropriate and see fit, just as hes encouraged the house and Senate Committees to continue any Ongoing Investigations. Look, the bottom line is any investigation that was happening on monday is still happening today. That hasnt changed, and, in fact, we encouraged them to complete this investigation so
President trump, secretary of defense jim mattis and ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley each spoke out about north korea and its leader. Reporter mr. President , will you attack north korea . Eel swell see. We have many military options and the president wanted to be briefed on all of them. Any threat will be met with a massive military response, both effective and overwhelming. We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea, but as i said, we have many options to do so. To the members of the security council, i must say enough is enough. We have taken an incremental approach and despite the best of intentions it has not worked. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. Richard haas, well get to those comments in a minute. Those were the comments that were choreographed and the sort of comments you would expect during this sort of crisis, but what the diplomatic world is talking about certainly what our allies i
