Traveled to Walter Reed National military Medical Center this morning to undergo whats called an embolization procedure for a benign kidney condition. Her spokeswoman said the procedure went well. The first lady is feeling fine. But she would likely remain in the hospital for the remainder of the week. One of the reasons is when you undergo this sort of surgery, you want to stay quiet for a little while to make sure that the surgery takes in the way that it should. Also want to make sure there is no bleeding or anything like that. She will likely remain there through thursday or friday. While we have not been told what the precise condition is, embolization therapy and the kidney is typically used to treat a tumor. Sometimes its used to treat cancer is tumors or try to shrink them down so its much easier to remove them surgically when you do go into do surgery. In this case, we know that the first ladys condition is said to be benign. That might speak to a different type of problem, in a kidney. There is a tumor made up of vascular cells. Its the cellular arteries are made out of, also muscle cells in fat cells altogether. Its a benign condition. We dont know that the first lady has that but typically embolization therapy used to treat these conditions. While they are benign, they can grow. If they do grow to a certain point, they can begin to damage the kidneys. Theres also a risk of bleeding. What doctors do is they thread a catheter through the femoral artery which is the main artery in your leg down by the groin. Then they go through through te abdominal aorta. Whichever kidney they go to. They deposit tiny, tiny plastic type of material which blocks up the artery, reduces the blood flow to the particular structure in the kidney they are looking to get rid of. Its a complex procedure but its fairly routine. It is kind of like a cardiac catheterization where they open up the heart artery. They are trying to block an artery in this case so that whatever is in her kidney shrinks and goes away. Dana john, thanks for any other patent you had to run to the camera. I think we took out you were going to be a medical student which is probably why you can pronounce all those words very well. Thank you for that report. Now to our other top strike of a huge Foreign Policy week for the Trump Administration. Historic opening of u. S. Embassy in jerusalem is met with violent protests along israels border with gaza. Dozens of palestinians are dead, and thousands more reportedly injured. The Trump Administration is also moving forward to try to denuclearize north korea. Earlier in jerusalem, the president addressed the crowd with a video message praising our countrys friends and allie allies. Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. Yet for many years, we fail to acknowledge the obvious. The plain reality that israels capital is jerusalem. The United States remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement, and we continue to support the status quo at jerusalems holy sites, including at the temple mount, also known as avram al sharif. Dana saying that the responsibility for the violence rests squarely with hamas. Check out peter alexander. We believe hamas is responsible. Is their responsibility beyond that on the Israeli Authority . We believe hamas is an organization is engaged in cynical actually been to these depths. Dana starting with the significance of the day or some in the medias take on it. Jesse kind of an asinine innuendo that they are murdering innocent civilians. I thought it was pretty insulting. He is better than that because hes a pretty decent reporter, so i dont have much to say about that. What is making trump so successful is how he became successful as a businessman in these translating into being a politician. He is a man of his word and he is a man of action. Thats why he is racking up these tangible victories. In 1995, Congress Passed our relocation act for jerusalem. It took three president s who did nothing and stood by now. Ivanka and jared are there today for the opening, and this coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the state of israel. Of course youre going to have a little clashing youre going to have some blowups at the border. Thats to be expected because jerusalem i believe is the third most holy city for islam. That will blow over, and youll get the Peace Process back on track. I think jerrod is doing a pretty nice job. Youre going to have the kushner accord. Hopefully will have that done, maybe another novell peace prize that juan can be envious of. I think the president , when he does these things, its because he doesnt care about offending the status quo. I mean, if you look what happened with him defeating the caliphate or them, the nato countries ponying up their fair share. Or tearing up nafta are renegotiating nafta. These kind of things, he doesnt really care about the ball back. He also says the obvious. Jerusalem is obviously the capital of israel. Its obvious we need a border with mexico. Its obvious china is stealing jobs. Its obvious north korea needs to be dealt with and now hes doing that with the maximum campaign of pressure or diplomatically, militarily, even through twitter. He has brought them to the table. They are going to end the korean war. I think they are totally imploding their underground Nuclear Testing facility. They are sealing off the entrances. Its a huge step, releasing the hostages is a huge step. Now you have this summit in singapore. It looks positive. Well go in there with clear and open eyes. I think the five should maybe go to singapore and broadcast. We could all make the trip. Dana do you want to talk about venezuela while we are at it . Much everyplace. I would take issue with other president s doing nothing. I think this president was able to say, the conventional wisdom that there would be mass protests and violence that was awesome of today but its not the parade of horribles people anticipated, kimberly. Its possible the Peace Process could get back on track. Theres a better path for the palestinians if they wanted. The other thing that has changed is also you have now other countries like saudi telling the palestinians you need to get on board with whats going happen here. If you want a twostate solution, step up. Kimberly i think you make an important point. When you look at moment in american and israeli history in terms of how it affects that area of the world, its been completely fraught with problems for so long. I think this was a really powerful move forward in the right direction. President trump has the moral and political courage to be able to do this with the promise he made to the people and he fulfilled it. I think thats important as well commit to be a person of your work, as it relates to demonic relations with other country. If you say youre going to do something and you make a promise, you want to write im very happy there wasnt a tremendous amount of violence. People worried things will happen if this occurred. Its a step in the right direction in terms of the relationship not only with israel but the inverted states, the saudis being on board, and now lets get the palestinians to the table as well. Why not try . This is the first step in the right direction to be able to do that. Dana there was some violence. 51 people have died. They say thousands are injured in addition. Maybe we will find out more in the coming days. Kimberly but due to hamas. Juan no, they were shot and killed by israelis. Dana were the israelis defending themselves . Juan they werent. Dana hamas does try to make sure the media is covering it in that way. Juan you guys are so onesided i am surprised you dont fall off the earth. It seems to me its so clear we are in a situation where israel is on the other side literally of a fence. These people, youre 35,000 people. Its much bigger than hamas, you try to link it to a terrorist group. Its an expression of people who feel that they are being run over and run out of land and property that was once theirs and that there is no longer hope for a twostate solution. Netanyahu has made it very clear. President trump it looks like by making this highly provocative move doesnt care that the United States has a rule here potentially as we love israee the force that negotiated some kind of peace. That brought finally some piece to the middle east. Instead we have israel firing at iran in syria. Syria up in flames now. We have unsettled situation here between israel and the palestinians. What have we done . We are no longer seeking peace. Netanyahu apparently can do anything he wants. The palestinians feel greatly aggrieved, and hamas now has more martyrs and you have extremism fueled. I am incredulous that you see this as good. Dana i do think greg i can respond. Dana i had a good point. It isnt in israel its in israels interest to calm the violence. So they can live sidebyside in peace and President Trump said he believes the status quo was access to the holy sites in jerusalem should remain. I dont think its as bad as juan was saying. Greg i want to step back and diagnose the problem, exactly what this says, which as we begin on one side and we end on the other side. This is a prison. This entire issue is a prison of two sides. Either israel has a right to exist or palestinians are victims of violence. There is no other side. The intensity of Media Coverage on this issue is the exact opposite of the level of understanding and interest of the public. The public is not as interested in this issue as the media makes it out to be. This is why we dont have any middle east experts. We have more middle earth experts and middle east experts. You know that when this is going to happen, they are going to create programming potential with retaliation. You know that if you send up these balloons filled with bombs, youre going to get it on camera, people are going to die and thats what happens. Does this display of violence on the suffering that occurs have any effect in the land were four decades of violence has been happening anyway. Clashes erupt every single day. Every single day. We are jaded and confused about this area. I resist this idea that its a twosided thing. The solution has to admit that the current way of dealing with this is going nowhere. Its going nowhere. As long as theres always going to be violence, theres always going to be violence. Dana the question of jerusalem is now off the table. Kimberly not to minimize the violence and loss of lives, what happened today. The prediction was this would be catastrophic and widespread and creating an incredible amount of tumult. I think ultimately its a positive step towards peace. Dana Stormy Daniels lawyer has been relentless and now his actions are being praised as saving democracy.

Jesse comes as no surprise that Michael Avenatti is on a mission to take down President Trump. He said so in more than 100 cable tv interviews march 7. Is it Stormy Daniels attorney fighting to save our democracy . Thats what avenattis former georgetown law professor claims. Let me take a moment to break on my former student. This dude right here, i think of him as any Justice League with Robert Mueller to save our democracy. Michael is showing how the money came in. Robert mueller is interested in where it went, how it flowed out of this llc and whether the big kahuna mr. Trump had any role in that. Jesse i dont think he is saving democracy. Greg this is working out for him while. Hes getting free tv coverage from cnn and msnbc. The problem is his goal is not to be president or a leader or help the country. It is to ride that media roller coaster to fame. Thats what he wants. The more it works out for him, the worse it is for the cohesion of the country. You have to unseat a president which is going to upset 70 million people. Underneath this all when i look at him, i dont think it really matters and what happens. You see him palling around with people. Hes having a good time. Underneath it all, he doesnt give a damn if he wins or loses. He is going to get an hour on t tv. In the new tanning bed. I call him the golden grifter. Jesse dana, what does it save of the Democratic Party that they are putting all their eggs in the avenatti basket . Dana the polling, President Trumps numbers are going up in the republican chances for winning some of these races in the midterms are improving, especially on the enthusiasm number which had not been the case a couple months ago. I dont understand how any of the recent stuff avenatti is putting out helping Stormy Daniels case. I dont understand what the legal outcome of success would look like to avenatti. When they try to compare him to bob mueller. This guy is a flea on the textbook of law 101. Jesse avenatti is threatening a lot of lawsuits against people doing actual factual reporting on him. This is public information. He owes a million in taxes. His company owes 5 million in unpaid taxes. He destroyed the company bought. Lawsuits everywhere. Now he wants to sue. Kimberly he is a transactional person. Its not about Stormy Daniels. She is the conduit, a vehicle for which he is seeking his own personal fame and fortune. He is doing his best to do as Many Television appearances possible and fueled the fire. He is like the afternoon barbecue that never ends. Keeps stoking the calls. Not done yet. You have to look at his own personal motivations. Showed up at our Court Appearance they didnt need to be at. Nothing as it related to them but they showed up and stormed the mic and went forward, further promulgating his own personal appearances and desire to improve his financial situation. Now he wants to do is bully people. Saying if you report the truth, im going to sue you. Its pretty obvious and transparent whats happening here. He may have the tan of the Justice League but i beg to differ as to his inclusion. Jesse he is on tv more than kill kilmeade. Thats a lot. Juan i did understand that the president would admit wouldnt admit he made the payment. And then course we now know that he was telling the truth. Trump had paid money through michael calling for Stormy Daniels. That all came out and the question about what was it a violation of federal election law, the money being funneled through an llc. Thats come out and it wouldnt have come out without avenatti. But i think there is a legitimate question about, this seems to be going way beyond Stormy Daniels. Then you start to say well, isnt the case that he is like trump . Trump says hes a rate counter puncher. This guy feels like hes taking punches and people going have to after him. Here he is saying i am the avenger. Im going to come and clean up gotham. You say its about getting trump out. I dont know. I think it might be about getting trump to tell the truth. Greg when i watch this theater unfold, she is being used. I sense when i look at her she isnt happy about it. I think she knows the history of what happens when somebody is manipulated for another persons career. You end up becoming thrown aside. I have a feeling she is just a conduit, as kimberly said, for his fame. He is no avenger. He stressed an opportunist. Dana in the last several days when he has made media appearances, he has barely mentioned Stormy Daniels. Thats a really good point. Jesse he will probably get thrown aside like most of these people do after they get there 15 minutes. Our dishonest politicians a greater threat than terrorism . Michael bloomberg thinks so. Up next.
