Votes. the house ways and means committee seeking those documents since 2019 can now attempt to access the materials before republicans take over the house in january. committee chairman richard neal celebrating the decision why the top republican on the panel kevin brady ay accused the supreme court of opening a dangerous new political battleground where no citizen is safe. joe, a long time coming. as i said, years and years and years. yep. of people trying to get donald trump s tax returns through this president s campaigns, and now with, what? two months or less of democrats in power in the house, they re going to finally get their hands on them. well, they are, and we re going to be talking about quite a few other topics this morning regarding legal challenges. spurious challenges donald trump made to the united states supreme course and jon meacham, one after another after another of trump s spurious claims,
Giving the credit of they ve gotten rid of legislation, gotten rid of other laws? does that count when people say you ve got stuff accomplished? well, it depends what you judge it by. this president promised a lot of things and health care was a signature campaign pledge of this president and republicans in general over the past seven years, and so to argue that, you know, we re paying too much attention to health care is not quite accurate either. i mean, this is something that the president campaigned very vigorously on and also campaigned very vigorously on tax reform, and tteadl is getting pushed back further and further. the treasury secretary, of course, said we ll get it done by august and now is saying it s going to take a little longer. we ve heard this president talk about health care, nobody knew it was this complicated, so there s also a lot of learning going on during the first 100 days when it comes to this administration, but as josh mentioned a key point, which is working with this congress, so if you re looking at legislation coming down the pike, the
of course. we all can do this together. this is something that s very important and we all can jump onboard. it s so simple. think about it, turn the faucet off. there are people that don t even have clean drinking water in the world, and there are people out there who are letting four gallons go down the drain while they are brushing their teeth. it s like if you think about that and you really think about it, it s just common sense. just turn it off. i want to quickly refer to something that happened last weekend. there was an iron man race you may have heard about it. johnny? yeah, this young man with cerebral palsy. his dad pulled him through the water and rode behind him on his bike and helped pull him through, all because of you. because of the inspiration he has followed your career. how does that make you feel and is that a weight at all for you? what you say matters, what you do matters. of course. that s, obviously, a big honor for me, and, you know, watching the video and having the conversation i had with him on
Opportunity to gn some momentum for himself. josh, something out this morning, former fox news employee alisyn camerota laid new claims of sexual harassment against roger ailes. of course, on the heels of o reilly allegations. any idea how much farther this goes? well, i could imagine it going quite a bit farther. seems there was a culture at fox news that allowed this sort of behavior from the top down. i would note, though, one of the things that came out this week about why bill o reilly got pushed out, partly pressure from executives in other divisions of 21st century fox basically saying this is bad for morale in the company. and i think part of what this demonstrates is the value of bureaucracies in protecting rights against harassment and that sort of thing. you can have a rogue culture in a family business and in the
The white house complex. they ll spend some time at blair house, meet with congressional leaders, and also be at the white house with an opportunity to meet with and have lunch with the president. this is a president who later in the year would be expected to address the general assembly, as presidents typically do, and this is a new yorker, of course, who has been in the neighborhood of the united nations for most of his adult life, but politically has been quite separate from the u.n., critical of the fact that he believes they have not done enough on some of the big issues of global threats around the world. now, it comes at a time when north korea is a hot spot that is drawing a lot of this white house s attention and other global partners, and it is important to see that china did not veto the recent attempts at a sanction towards north korea, but abstained. that is important in its in the symbolism and it s a gesture, so this is an important meeting to talk about issues like north korea and to build
