everybody is sympathetic to that who i speak to who is in the procurement part of this equation. but there isn't a sense that i have from those that are in the delivery part of this that there are any hold-ups. in fact, what has been described to me is that it has taken sometimes days and weeks to get what normally takes months and years to deliver. so the things have been moving really as quickly as the procurers here in the defense department and those doing the deliveries have ever seen in the history of this department. >> martha: so again, i know you want to go over quickly what happened in the house today, but this notion that the administration fears more of putin, you know, defeat than it does a zelensky win might be misguided? >> i think it is. i think there was some discussion and debate in the beginning when they talked about no fly zones. you know, the u.s. does not want
were on the other foot, there's no doubt in my mind that republicans would be doing everything they could to move their agenda forward and getting rid of the filibuster to do it. and i think that we are on a march in that direction. and democrats could make -- i mean, the decision about democracy, which i do think is an existential threat, but it's also a political threat, for pete's sake. if democratic-based voters are being prevented from voting and these rules are being put in place in states all across the country, it's a political threat to democrats as well. and so i don't understand why there isn't a sense of absolute urgency about passing legislation that enables people to vote whether republicansment to do it or not. >> donna, to your point, republicans see it exactly that way. and they have since election
information. how damning do you think this is for the white house? >> clearly damaging that we've seen in the last day or so. this has snowballed for them. and the problem for the white house is not just what this episode in a vacuum says about someone who worked at a senior level in the white house and the white house itself. it says a larger narrative about the white house. first of all this, is a white house that doesn't respect women or is unfriendly to women, doesn't protect women, doesn't value women or trust them when they come forward with serious allegations of this kind. and also, that it elevates people who have the sorts of very serious allegations against them. and really, there's this chaos at this white house, that there isn't a sense of organization, a sense that they have the best people working there for the good of the country. that was something that john kelly was supposed to solve when
flynn's actions, i'm trying to get a sense, is this the kind of they know that falls into the category of treason? or what is it? >> i don't know if it is treason. i think he was making a buck, a foreign government, the government of russia that's hostile to the united states and failed to disclose it. and then i have even more concern that's the white house, if you take sean spicer at his word today, the fact that he got a security clearance at the beginning of 20 will 16, if you take sean spicer, they didn't -- the white house did no additional vetting before he entered the government. that's not the way it worked in the obama administration where i worked. they look at everything you've done up until the time you enter government. that raises questions not just about michael flynn but he have other person who works in the white house today and whether they were properly vetted before joining the government. >> thank you for joining us. a former spokesman for eric holder at the department of justice. as we keep an eye on that story,
so there are some thresholds. there's nothing in this plan. as he pointed out, it is on a napkin. for all the time they spent on it, it is less than we got last time. what we know is if you have a tax holiday, historically that has present profits come back and go into tax buybacks, dividends. that's increased profit share. that doesn't increase the size of the economic pie. and i think that's where we don't know. we don't know the details of how to make it more efficient, competitive and get that job creation. on top of it, they're at a cross roads. you say you want to create jobs but eliminate good part of work force, legal or illegal. and you're not willing to train the workers to bring them up to speed. and then you have an aging labor force on top of it. all this together, you get sense
the documents in the general flynn provided to dia during the briefings and details. essentially saying that the general went and talked on dia officials and they are claiming that there are documents that will show that took place. of course, what we have seen from the oversight committee to this opponent doesn't seem to back that up. >> elijah cummings was very careful to say we have not seen any evidence that -- let's break this down a little more with matthew miller, a former spokesman for attorney general, former director for the office of public affairs. thanks for being with us. i'm trying to make sense of this. is this an oversight? let's take it at face value. that they told michael flynn in 2004 that he can't take money for these things tlflt does not appear to be any evidence contrary to his claims that he asked permission to do this. so he took money from a foreign
that there is not an understanding that the economy and the tax system all an ecosystem. we're part of an ecosystem and there isn't a sense of one thing interacts with the other. if a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world, you can get a tornado on the other side of the world. that's not going through. the economy is very light. >> these are massive issues. one might have thought after health care didn't work properly, they would say tax reform isn't actually easier than health care. why not really do what she talked about? connect the dots? think about it in a more holistic fashion. >> we're going to get that obamacare repeal vote by tomorrow. that won't happen. congress barely has the band
they should have been. these jihadis are moving to syria and moving back in. while they're aware they're going to fight in syria, there's not enough awareness when they move back into belgium or france. the investigation is ongoing. there isn't a sense yet how deep this network extends, but everything we're hearing, kate, brings the story back here to molenbeek and brussels. >> nima, as they look into the backgrounds of these men involved, there's also the most immediate and urgent focus right now in belgium of trying to find, locate, track down, bring in this eighth attacker. obviously, that did not happen this morning when special ops tried to get him. but do they have a sense that he's even still in belgium? do you know how far this has gone yet in trying to pin him in? >> reporter: what we're hearing from the prosecutor's office is they really don't have that much of a specific sense about a location or even about a search
of authority and hierarchy have been somewhat turned on their heads. ordinarily there is a sense of the conference who should be the next top leader, the next speaker, but that, you know, other than paul ryan, there isn't a sense of who that person should be. >> would you mind john boehner sticking around for longer? >> well, it is interesting, those who wanted to get rid of john boehner, those who, you know, were trying to throw him out, they got exactly that they did not want. they'll get more of john boehner because john boehner has said that he will remain in the speaker seat until a chair until a new speaker is elected. i have a feeling this could take a while and john boehner will be doing a lot of work between now and the time he leaves. we must move forward on making sure we do not default on our nation's obligations. we have to move forward on a budget agreement rather quickly. we need to make sure we're in a position to pass the appropriations bill so we don't get into a shutdown situation come december 11th. so john will be around a little while, i think. >> for the freedom caucus, be
answer for each one of those. i think on trade, she clearly is vulnerable to flip-flop. frankly, if she's elected president, i would imagine that she would probably be for this trade deal. i don't believe -- i really find her -- that is a political decision. and it's an understandable political decision she'd be killing herself for off in the primaries if she supported the deal. but on syria, she has consistently wanted a harder line. the president has resisted that. i think the president looks at her and feels that she and others in part pushed him into libya. libya turned out to be a disaster. this is an an going policy dispute within the democratic party. >> katie and then we have to go real fast. >> the bigger challenge she has is the broader challenge. there is a perception that she is making all of these decisions by focus grouping voters. i think that's why you're seeing the impact it's having on the polls. she has started to drop. there isn't a sense she has a
