armies of lobbyists and lawyers? or does it work for all the people. now the house of representatives is about to show us the worst of government for the rich and powerful. the house is about to vote on a budget deal, a deal negotiated behind closed doors, that would let traders on wall street gamble with taxpayer money and get bailed out by the government when their risky bets threaten to blow up our financial system. this is a democracy, and the american people didn t elect us to stand up for citigroup. they elected us to stand up for all the people. that s the bugle signaling charge. today the white house scrambled to contain the fod. just minutes before the scheduled vote, the white house took the dangerous move of taking direct aim at the warren wing of the party by declaring and campaign contributions, opening up the ÷÷ñaúfloodgates. first you give the keys to the bank and then you bail the banks out. we are not having that. i think the vote today shows that, shows ....

revealed that a senior u.s. diplomat has been having conversation with north korean counter parts, another sign that the trump administration is quietly trying to calm this down. joining us now, john bolton. good evening, ambassador. seems like we ve never been closer to it nuclear brink than we are now. is that a correct statement? we re at a crisis point because of the advances that north korea has made in the last eight years, so donald trump inherits 25 years of a failed policy of negotiating north korea out of these programs and his options are few and not very good. what is interesting is the regime and the threat of nuclear terrorism against our country. without looking backward for too long, do you see the way that some of the administrations, particularly the clinton administration, giving money to north korea, and then the parallel of the obama administration giving money to iran, do you see that the appeasement that seems to be going on is only to our detrimen ....

president trump just got a blistering salvo from another republican senator, arizona s jeff flake, who slammed the president on the senate floor while announcing he won t run for re-election in 2018. flake, a trump critic who has been attacked repeatedly by the president, said reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior from the top of our government is dangerous to a democracy. he accused the president of the united states of undermining america s norms and values. and that came after the president went to capitol hill to talk tax reform with senate republicans over lunch. but there may have been cases of indigestion as the meal was proceeded today by a breathtaking war of words between the president and senator bob corker, who will also not run again in 2018. after corker urged the white house to leave tax reform to the professionals, the president lashed out on twitter, claiming falsely that corker helped president obama with the iran far too many principles. we were not ....
