Right now more news with my colleagues. Isnt that great . These are always remember before you start fights with these companies. They help us out. Good morning everyone. Im ali velshi. Im stephanie ruhle. You remember that we were way up in pennsylvania, and there was only 2 of the vote left. And we were way up. If i lost every vote, we would have won the state of pennsylvania. And the fake news refused to call it. Right . They can make anything bad, because they are the fake, fake disgusting news. Were fixing walls all over the border. And were going to start to get very nasty over the wall. Were going to be taking very tough actions. Now that we have the best economy in the history of our country, this is the time to
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Rich and you should hate him. Instead theyre admitting it to show he had a motive. A motive to supply and support this outrageous lifestyle that he lived at such a level he had to defraud the government. He had to get these illgotten gains because otherwise he never could have supported this lifestyle. And if its admitted for that purpose, then this kind of evidence can come in. But the judge, in his role as again, he wants to avoid possible appeal issues, so, hes probably doing the prosecution a favor warning them in advance. Hey, you may be going a little too far here. If theres a conviction youre exposing yourself on appeal. Jewulia, the thing the jury y understand is that manaforts team is arguing that im sorry, the Governments Team is arguing manafort faked documents on which he could get loans. Yes. That is easy for them to
understand. Its not quite as cumbersome as what were getting into today. A lot of that was presented yesterday. He was present the false evidence in order to continue this luxurious lifestyle. Once the money dried up he started pretending he had more to leverage. Thats something they can see as a clear lie. A clear violation of ethics and financial law. That doesnt seem to be as in the weeds. It makes sense theyre going soefr thin over things that the jury can relate to. I think well start to see them pull out from this tedious questioning of tax statements. Page by page. Display it for the jury. Theyre making it as clear as day, but sometimes you can get lost in a lot of these details. I do want to tie the manafort case potentially to the russia
probe. Youve got the president , basically whole National Security team in the White House Briefing room, one by one, christopher wray, keers sten neilson. All on the same page. Yet hours later, the president is at an event, at a rally in pennsylvania, saying the russian hoax, russian hoax. That absolutely does not make sense from a National Security perspective. So it begs the question, does this have to do with the Manafort Trial . And the russia probe . Is. I think the russian hoax could also be in trump speak just referring to the idea that he personally included with russians and that he engaged in this trump tower meeting. Thats trump talk. Thats trump conflating issues that need not be conflated. Youre probably right on that front. But does it relate back to the Manafort Trial . Thats something manafort complained about in a motion to dismiss. It wasnt connected. It was beyond the mandate of the special counsel. Good to see you. Thank you so much for that. Do you know how much it drives me nuts when theres a long line and the person ahead of me is using a Wire Transfer from a foreign country. Worst than a big return. Knnew jobs report. Unemployment rate dropped and thats a big positive. Heres the question that matters to so many americans. What about wage growth . Were going to break down the numbers. Take a look at the markets. That Strong Performance from apple which made it a trillion Dollar Company yesterday. Dows up about 62 points. Thats a quarter of a . Youre watching velshi ruhle lye on msnbc. Ive been Making Blades here at gillette for 20 years. Theres a lot of innovation that goes into making americas 1 shave. Precision machinery and highquality materials from around the world. Nobody else even comes close. Now starting at 7. 99. Gillette. The best a man can get. Puzzling nifigure. Wage growth remains stagnant. Just 2. 7 year over year. This is a big problem. It comes back to the bigger issue. We dont need more jobs in this country as much as we need better jobs and higher wages. There are about as many job openings as there are people looking. A mismatch between them. With a low unemployment figure we should be seeing employers raising wages with the right skills to fill a job. It should push average wages up, but we arent actually seeing that happen right now. Concerns also that the trade war would hold back hiring havent materialized yet but just this morning china responded to the president s threats with threats of their own. 60 billion worth of u. S. Exports to china could now be facing new tariffs of 5 to 25 as weve seen from other forecasts, a net loss of jobs still could be the result of this tit for tat tariff
exchange. Estimates are that this could cost us 450,000 jobs. Anyone whos feeling like this jump bnumber is light. Needs to factor in toys r us those job losses, toys r us. I want to be fair. In a normal world i would say 150,000plus is good. Ive been saying this for probably 20 years. It is lower than the average weve had in the last two years. Still, its an okay number. Whether youre talking 150,000 jobs or 200. Weve been churning out a good jobs report for years now. S issue that were not addressing, and its the same we had in the Obama Administration is income and equality and wages. Hope is as the labor market tightens wages will tick up. Fact theyre not, this is the massive issue plaguing our country and plaguing the world
that has led to so much anger. Unemployment is not the issue it used to be. If you saw that number once a month in the old days it used to tell you something important. Thats no nt it. When companies are faced to i pay these workers more or invest in automation, its been automation. President trump holds a rally, and we have to do a major fact check. Talking russia, jobs and taxes and for facts sakes, hes getting a lot of things wrong. Were going to clear them up next. Were going to do that fact check for every person who was at that rally. Because they deserve better. First, va hospital workers in washington, d. C. Are begging the new va secretary for help.

Since the election, weve added a number of that nobody would have believed and that i would have never said on the campaign trail. I wouldnt have said it. Because they would have done a big number on me. 3. 7 million new jobs. Well, mr. President , with all due respect, in fact, its been absolutely pre dict lk. From december, 2016 to june 2018, 3. 7 million jobs have been added. Compare that with the 19 months leading up to trumps election, and youll see 4. 3 million jobs were added. Hmm. How about that. How about lie number 3. President trump on tax cuts. Republicans just passed the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. Nope. Trumps tax cuts for the welalty

Facts matter and those people and kids who sat behind you, i bring it up again, those children deserve better. We grew up thinking being the president of the United States is really important and we shouldnt lie. By the way, he also said its the best economy in u. S. History. Theres a lot of ways to measure the economy and by none of them is this the best. As you and i always say, its good, its growing. Theres lots of stuff to actually talk about without lying. If he didnt lie about it you and i would have done a different story. There would be some news out there were not reporting to our viewers. Axios put out a report that said a republican whos running in 2018, an endorsement from trump is the golden ticket. If you couple that report with the kind of support and adoration President Trump gets at his rallies, we would sit here and talk about what a winning combination this is. I stead we sit here scratching our heads why President Trump gets up at a podium in a roomful of people who love and adore him, and he lies, straight to their faces. Why . All right.

President trump hit a favorite topic at a rally last night touting his vision for a space force. Ive directed the pentagon to begin the process of creating a sixth branch of the united
states armed forces called the space force. Very important. Okay. But those directions to the pentagon, heres what the White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders said wednesday. Were told that the white house is now twice rejected drafts because of the Defense Department doesnt want a space force, rather create a Space Command under the existing military structure. In view of this, how is it the president going to force the creation of a space force . Were continuing to work with the Department Of Defense to fact ure out and determine the best way forward something the president feels strongly about and were going do work with the team there and figure out the best solution. Continue to work with the Department Of Defense, not exactly the immediate direction the president seems to imply. He cant just unilaterally order this t them to create a mu military service. A new draft report reveals the
pentagon is preparing for the in you space force, preparing three of the four components that are actually needed. First and foremost creating a new combatant command. Thats the structure that carries out the mission in an area of assigned responsibility. Its either a geographic location, say, the u. S. Africa command in a debrgeographical a. The pentagon also plans to reorganize the existing air force Space Command which is currently a lead agency on space. Though, each of the military departments, the army, navy and air force, have their own Space Command or brigade. Now the change would heavily affect the air force, but its unclear how involved air force officials have been in the planning process. It would have to pull from the other services to create a cohesive unit. For the president willing to cut military exercises, its not
clear which branch would bear the heaviest brunt. Current branchs, falling under the department of navy make up more than 80 . All right. Joining us now former nasa astronaut and u. S. Retired navy captain scott kelly. Good morning. Walk us through this. Creating a new branch of military. This is a massively expensive and bureaucratic effort, sort of the opposite of what this administration claims to be doing across the board. Give us your view. Well, it certainly sounds that way, stephanie. I think any time you add more bureaucracy to an already large bureaucra bureaucracy, its going to cost a lot of money. The capability were talking about is something that probably already exists in the u. S. Military, in the air force, navy, other armed services. I spent 25 years in the navy, and 20 of it at nasa. And this is not something that we ever really heard was a serious consideration over all that time. So its kind of hard to understand at this point. The former secretary of the air force said the president is confusing a Service Branch and a combat ant command. Whats the difference here and what would the aim be . If you subscribe to the president s notion we should have a space force, whats in a meant to be doing . Thats the number one question. Are we talking about new Offensive Capability in space in space based weapons . Some of these things are restricted by International Treaties that the United States<
