for marijuana position is a massive be fd. too many lives have been upended by our failed approach to marijuana. it s time we right these wrongs. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the herschel walker story keeps getting worse for herschel walker. earlier this week, of course, the daily beast first reported that walker, the trump endorsed the republican nominee for georgia s senate seat, had paid for a woman s abortion in 2009. the report contains a lots of contemporaneous evidence that has not been reviewed by us here at nbc news. it included the literal receipt for the procedure, that check walker sent to a woman, and even they get well card walker apparently mailed her, complete with what sure looks like his signature. now, as we ve said, nbc news is not independently verified the stories, this is a the daily beast or. walker vehemently denied the allegation when it first broke. he said he had no idea who the woman making the al

And of course america has complicated and textured relationships with every major country in the middle east. But with qatar we do have this one very special thing. In that weve got this huge air base there. There are a ton of activeduty service members, American Service members, who live there all the time. Right . That special thing about us and qatar was what made it a weirder than usual moment in the Trump Presidency when just a few months after he was sworn in, President Trump summoned the courage to try to pronounce qatar live and in front of some cameras, i think for the very first time ever. The reason that he decided he would take the leap and try to pronounce qatar was so he could proclaim them to be a bunch of terrorists. The nation of qatar unfortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level. This was a somewhat random o

One week from today the house impeachment committees will kick off public impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States for just the fourth time in american history. Its not a niche story anymore.
