Much. the odd thing is here when a volcano explodes, there is both a negative and positive impact as well. jeff goodell recently set out to learn more about cutting edge technology and reversing the effects of climate change. he joins me as we kick off green week on msnbc. when you have this ash in the air, it blocks the sunlight. you talked to scientists who are looking at similar ways of trying to reflect back some of that sunlight. >> one of the things that scientists are looking at is puttin...

Taxes though they get something in return for that. there is also an odd thing in polling about taxes. one shows 69% of americans chose 20% as the maximum tax rate anyone should pay. of course, the maximum today is 35% and under president obama it will go up to almost 40%. that suggests the tolerance for higher taxes is pretty low. megyn: what is rich? when we talk about the rich paying all the taxes, what is that? >> reporter: almost no one who makes $50,000 or less should be paying anything. i...

Do their job. >> lastly, a woman robs her bank because it was on her bucket list. also on the list, jump out of a plane, eat an ostrich burger, kill 42 people and drive a race car. >> it is true. >> you cant say it is true. you have to deny that. >> deny all you want. the odd thing is she now says robbing the bank was the only thing on her bucket list. seriously. i dont think she really understands what a list is. >> thats true. >> im done. >> see you later, andy. nice to have him back. >> baker...

Mutually exclusive policies. each one of us have very different states. when you look at what montana can do with wind, what arizona can do with solar, we cant do that in the south. but there are other things that we can do. but i believe that when he brings us together, not 50 governors at a time where we really never accomplish anything, but to bring ten governors together with common concerns, democrat and republican, and sit down and walk through in how they truly can have a candid discussio...

Mueller -- it would be an odd thing, it seems to me, if you think about how you game plan this out, to go with a case only that involves a personal activity unrelated, collusion unrelated to the president, unrelated to russia against manafort. that would be an odd way to start. i do think as the reporting from the white house says, theyre ready to pounce in the white house if its simply about a manafort thing. i know legally, they could keep going from there. but thats going to be seen as a weak...
