MSNBCW MSNBC Live With Tamron Hall January 23, 2017

As soon as the doctors start speaking. Right now were waiting for President Trump on what hes calling a day of action to sign executive orders fulfilling a Key Campaign Promise, namely to renegotiate trade deals. The executive orders hes expected to sign are to declare his intention his intention to renegotiate nafta between the u. S. , canada and mexico and to pull the u. S. Out of the transpacific partnership, known out of the tpp, a deal that has yet to be ratified by our congress. Earlier this morning the president met with Business Leaders telling them he wants to bring motor vehicanufacturing bs country and cut regulations. He also had a warning for those executives. If you go to another country and you decide that youre going to close and get rid of 2,000 people or 5,000 people, if that happens, we are going to be imposing a very major border tax on the product when it comes in, which i think is fair. This afternoon the president will meet with Union Leaders and workers followed by meetings with congressional leaders from both parties. Kristen welker standing by with the developments were following. Kristen, we were expecting to get more information on these executive orders around 10 30 eastern time. Whats the very latest, though . Reporter we expect him to sign a series of executive orders. As you laid out, tamron, we do anticipate at least two of them will be focused on trade. In terms of announcing his intention to renegotiate nafta, that gets tricky, that is something that requires congressional approval. He also has to get mexico and canada on board. Hes of course going to meet with the leaders of those two countries in the coming weeks. You have a number of republicans who are wary of renegotiating and tearing up nafta. The president said, look, this is one of the worst trade deals ever negotiated but free trade proponents say it could ultimately have unintended consequences. It could cost american jobs. So this could be a little bit of a battle with congress but as you point out, tamron, this was a Key Campaign Promise that candidate trump made out on the campaign trail so hes trying to make good on that promise today. In terms of tpp, that big, International Trade deal that prom pla fought for, it was never approved by congress so he can pull out of the deal but im tolds me going to sap some of his advisers to negotiate in those countries with the tpp. This is being build as a day of action. He already met with a number of ceos. This is his next step before he meets with those leaders today. Trade a key top ek for thic for. Well talk with Stephanie Ruhle later. She has exclusive information. Again, this warning to american businesses that somehow they would be punished through a tax if they dont adhere to some of the things that the president is now saying are necessary to do business in this country. Right. And he doubled down on that today, tamron. He said, look, if you outsource jobs, were going to slap higher taxes on you. He said hes going to try to lower taxes for middle class americans and lower regulations by 75 . We saw during the transition, he took some of these companies on head on, over twitter, calling them out for outsourcing jobs, Companies Like gm, for example. Today in that meeting, dell, lockheed martin, among other companies. What could these executive orders on nafta and tpp mean for you . Lets bring in ali velshi. As you well know and kristen has reiterated, there are critics out there who say these actions could have unintended consequences for American Workers and what we pay for goods coming into this country. Thats what donald trump tends to leave out. In theory, more things get manufactured in the United States and wages improve, but if you put a border tax on things coming in, goods get more. What nafta opponents talk about is that in co, remember ross perot talking about that giant sucking sound of jobs going to mexico. What nafta does in particular, donald trump you just spoke to kristen about, donald trump talks about this border tax he wants to impose. He cant do that under nafta. He has to do something about nafta in order to impose that border tax. Nafta currently allows the United States to export without duties to canada and mexico and the u. S. Exported 270 billion worth of good and services to mexico in 2015. Thats the latest year for which we have full figures. Of the stuff made in the United States that mexico buys, heavy machinery, vehicles, petroleum and a lot of raeg rahal products. So and it is important to remember that while we talk a lot about china, canada and mexico remain the largest place for u. S. Exports. Thank you very much. Well get back to the executive actions from the president but i want to talk you to houston Methodist Hospital for an update on former president h. W. Bush and his wife, barbara. He is sitting up, watching tv, waiting patiently for his favorite oyster stew for lunch. Hes on oxygen, laughing and joking with the doctors. He still has a fair amount of coughing. We are addressing that with various breathing treatments to help his bronchial tubes be a little less twitchy, for lack of a better term. Not nearly the amount of phlegm, and well still be working on that as he transitions out of the intensive care unit. Hell need a fairly aggressive breathing medications and well finish off antibiotics as well. I would anticipate the rate of improvement at this point and dr. Minuteors and i were here back with the full team back2012, which was quite a long stint in the hospital, but if everything continues at the pace of improvement that were currently enjoying, i would imagine lets see, todays monday, continued improvement throughout the course of the week, a friday discharge might be a little bit optimistic but friday or over the weekend. Literally its a bit of a moving target. It is fluid on him in terms of leftover residual inflammation in his bronchial tubes, in his lung and that influences his oxygen and his coughing. Can we get him improved to an extent where we can manage him with a home regimen of home breathing medications, et cetera. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Everything is actually proceeding nicely. He had the roughly 48hour need for that ventilatory support, with the tube down the throat, hooked up to a ventilator. Once we were able to identify the bacteria and caught up with the inflammation, we turned down the ventilator to a low setting. About as close to breathing on your own as you can with a tube still in your throat and looking at his numbers, looking at his oxygen, looking at what we call the mechanics of breathing, sort of t strengths of breathing and if all that looks well, looks enkurjing we were able to remove the tube, obviously continue some oxygen through the nose but he has done very well in that regard. We did not see a rebound of difficulty breathing, of tiring out. X rays continue to improve. So no obvious reaccumulation of material in his air ways that would then again put him behind the eight ball. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Sure. Absolutely i agree. Any time you hear of a 92yearold gentleman with a pneumonia requiring intubation, its a very serious situation. We never really know how the patients are going to do at that point. The fact that he is doing so well just five days after the event that caused him to need to be intubated i think is a real testament to the Pulmonary Team thats been taking care of him, the doctor and our icu staff. But also to him. Hes a really strong person. Hes not your average 92yearold. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Unfortunately, with the patients that most frequently have these kind of complications are older patients. So were both very versed in taking care of, you North Carolina 80yearolds and 90yearolds that areacing pneumonia. Really you just have to,ike i said, take extra precautions. You have to adjust medications accordingly but and just take into consideration that their baseline strength is not the same as somebody whos 40 or 50. When youre trying to get them off the ventilator and things like that. So as dr. Door of mentioning, they were looking at the mechanics to make sure he was Strong Enough to come off the ventilator. As mentioned, hes done quite well. Reporter [ inaudible ]. He hasnt really been talking about it much. He watched the tv but he didnt and was making, you know, just oh, look, look whos there, commented on seeing his son there or things like that. No input into the opinion or thought process, that he shared with us anyway. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Yes, maam. I just left the bedside shortly before our conference here and she was actually, i had gone up to the floor where she has been. She was already gone out of her room. She was down in intensive care sitting right next to him, watching tv, interacting with him. They truly do have just such an amazing love for each other and that really came across here. Like i said, part of why she ended up i think in the hospital was because even though she was ill, she was trying to be by his bedside all the time and wasnt able to get the care she needed. So when we put her in the hospital, the hospital has been really great about giving her her breathing treatments down there and trying to make sure that theyre together. But other than sleeping in separate rooms, they pretty much have been shes been sitting at his bedside most of the time, getting most of her mefd casedi. Theyre essentially therapy for each other. Yes, they are. Theyre help in our complian compliance. When one of them doesnt want to get on a breathing treatment, the other one says get on that. It helps our cause. Reporter [ inaudible ]. I believe shes i believe if she hasnt yet, shes going to shortly. Reporter [ inaudible ]. She actually has some things to take care of at home and said shes coming back to spend the afternoon with him as a visitor, not as a patient. Reporter [ inaudible ]. We did. Just to define the terms of the same Fiber Optic Technology that is used for colonoscopies and such, we have the same for the lung, its obviously a smaller, where we can go in, take a look around the bronchial tree the doctors are giving a press conference of the condition of formes president h. W. Bush and mrs. Bush. Chris jansing also following the latest. Understandably the concerns when you have a 92yearold individual being treated for pneumonia, as well as the come b no president ial couple has ever been married longer, 72. Even though she wasnt feeling well, she was by his bedside as much as she could be. I think the key here, the sentence, otour average 92yearold. As you mentioned, pneumonia is very serious in any senior citizens. The fatality rate is almost exclusive for people over 65 and when you listen to his sons talk about him, they talk about how resilient he is. We saw him many so she has been released. She was suffering from fatigue and a cough, as you just heard, brought on by trying to take care of him. Everyone obviously feeling very good about the fact that he is doing better. Theyll be watching him very closely. But this press conference very good news for everyone who admires the bush family. Tam ron . According to organizers, 3 Million People took part in peaceful womens rights marches around the world to voice opposition to President Trump. The womens march on washington attracted more than half a Million People. There were more than 600 sister matches and in dozens of cases, President Trump responded sunday morning with a tweet. Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election. Why didnt these people vote . Celebs hurt cause badly. Peaceful protests are a hall mark of our democracy. Even if i dont always agree, i recognize the rights of people to express their views. Here you had the inauguration highly representative of the red states. And the next day, saturday, states that some may see as blue states, even though this is global and there are no blue sits in after friday and saturday. So what happens next . There were marches even in red states, texas, alaska. We saw them in tennessee. I think the main message of it all was that while we have a new president , we want to make sure he is talking about the jand thats going to push america into the future and that is the issues of pay equity, reproducti reproductive, even when it comes to global issues. Today they announced ten initiatives you can do in the next ten days. Yesterday was the beginning of action. We have to make sure people are constantly present but more importantly that theyre participating. We do Voter Registration and thats not going to stop. So when we look at those ten actions and ill compare it in many ways to the black lives Matter Movement in that there was a tremendous amount of attention at the very beginning and some of the members of that moveme decided that they would not be involved, at least early on, in the election. We saw that change clearly toward the end but some of the criticism, whether its deemed fair or not, was that there was not a unified direction, a list of demands. Do you believe that the march saturday and the party moving forward needs a list of demands . Black lives maher was part of the womans march. People will still continue working on criminal justice, that doesnt stop. Is it possible to bring so many agendas together with a single voice . If that is possible, what is the single voice . That you dont want donald trump to be reelected . I think thats one, we need team people to run for office. We have to make sure while donald trump is going to have his own agenda, the easiest targets are going to being members of congress and the senate. Is that similar to and not to compare obviously the agenda did, they targeted tmembers of the senate to stand in the way of president obama, to prevent him to be able to move forward with some of his policies. Is that kind of what you see this movement doing to the sense that we saw the tea party right in front of the capitol protesting and with their signs and making their voices heard to members of congress specifically . What are the issues your members care about and making sure congress is going to pay attention. The gop was going to remove the house of ethics, weaken that was a real republican and democratic issue. This idea is if the election of donald trump, what he did was actually make sure that, one, americans were engaged. We came out into the streets on saturday. And putting their money where their mouth is and that contacting their members and running for office. Greatly appreciate it. With some breaking news to ut south to report, out of georgia, officials are holding just absolutely heartbreaking video coming in as well. It is unfathomable what happened out there. You literally have a trailer park that looks like its been disintegrated. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms killing a least 19 people this weekend and now a noreaster is threatening millions of others along the east coast. Us there now despite concerns over tiller and yous t tillersons nomination. Well be right back. Everything your family touches sticks with them. Make sure the germs they bring home dont stick around. Use clorox disinfecting products. Because no one kills germs better than clorox. In georgia Emergency Management officials are pleading for President Trump to assist them after storms ravaged their state. Weve been begging for assistance. Were not asking for money right now. Were asking for resources. To get caught up in the bureaucratic red tame tape at this time is unacceptable. I would ask President Trump to cut through the red tape and get some people on the damn ground. Now people along the east coast are bracing for that weather system as it makes its way north. Lets bring in mariana atencio. Lets start with what you just heard from that city official saying they need people on the ground, pleading with President Trump and fema to get some assistance there. What else can you tell us about this delay, if there is one here . Well, tamron, doubtry county Sheriffs Office is telling us three people are dead. Were about three hours south of georgia. The county Coroners Office said they are trying to idea the four bodies. You can just see the scope of the damage from these forms me. 70 mileanhour winds destroying homes and businesses and turning over a huge 18wheeler truck to my right. I spoke to the owners who told me just how lucky they felt be alive and that they werent driving this truck when the deadly tornado hit. Oh, my gosh. Its unbelievable. Ive never seen one like that. Pertaining to me. Ive seen them on the road but to happen to us, its devastating. Yeah, something youll probably never forget about. Reporter tamron, we have seen people starting to trickle back into their nakeeighborhood searching for their loved ones and their belongings. Authorities telling them its not safe to be walking around. 18 people have been found dead across the south because of these deadly twisters. Tamron . Nbcs blake mccoy is on long island where theyre starting to feel the effects of the noreaster moving through. Whats the latest there, blake . You can hear the winds whipping around. We could see wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour as the day progresses. I want to show you precautions theyve been taking ahead of the noreaster. Theyve had tractor out there all morning building this giant sand dune to protect the sand from this coastal flooding. Well see rain moving into the new york area. The big concerns are these winds. 60 mileanhour gusts will knock down trees and will topple power lines. That is the greatest risk for damage with this storm. Its a little unusual for a noreaster not to have snow with it. Inlander will see snow but it will be a rain event for most of philadelphia, new york and new jersey. The storm will then move into new england in the overnight hours. Tamron . Thank you very much. Coming up, back to politics. Did donald trump violate the constitution . A new law alleges that trumps business and tv interests are illegal. Up next, ill talk live with one of the lawyers behind the lawsuit. I dont want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. Or wonder whether i should seek treatment. I am ready. Because today theres harvoni. A revolu
