and right now the internet is looking at it. we thing we want x and the internet is saying you want y. it's a profound question. i think that's part of the discomfort. charles duhigg with the book "the power of habit." it's been a best hit, massive big seller. that's it for "all in" this evening. rachel maddow is up next. >> thank you, chris, my friend. this house is in iceland. used to be the french consulate in iceland. it's kind of a cute house, right? in 1986 when the cold war was still waging u.s. president ronald reagan and the leader of the soviet union at the time third quarter spent a couple of cold dark october days at this house in iceland trying to come up with an agreement to basically dial it back on the arms race, to try to mutually agree to get rid of some of the weapons our two countries had built up in massive stockpiles over our years of not quite

shooting at each other. and the pictures from that summit in 1986 were kind of remarkable. look at them smiling, shaking hands. reagan and gorbachev, meeting one on one, talking eye to eye, obviously both directly involved in those discussions. two standing off super powers meeting human to human, man to man, meeting person to person. ultimately at the very last minute of those talks in 1986 the negotiations didn't break down. apparently gorbachev asked for too much. he wanted a global ban on weapons in space, ronald reagan's idea of star wars. he would not agree to that demand so they went home with nothing they agreed to, but the two men had spent two days in each other's company, two days talking to each other in good faith and it turns out that was something. it was not a total loss because one year after those talked collapsed, one year later in 1987 gorbachev and reagan met in washington. this time it worked.

it worked in that night, december of 1987, it led to one of those great network news opening sequence where you could tell everybody in the news business and all the politicians that were covering it, everybody was excited about the story, everybody knew this was a historic day, this was a really big deal and this was really big news. >> the president of the united states and the general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union signed the inf treaty. >> today i for the united states and the general secretary for the soviet union have signed the first agreement ever to eliminate an entire class of u.s. and soviet nuclear weapons. we have made history. >> from washington, "nbc nightly news" with tom brokaw. tonight, the summit. >> good evening.

president reagan and soviet leader gorbachev are off to a brisk meeting. they have signed an agreement regarding nuclear weapons, more than 2,000 missiles altogether. that happened earlier this afternoon in the white house. the go leaders were seen on national television here and in the soviet union as they made their way to the east room for the signing of the ceremonies. mrs. reagan and police gorbachev were seated side by side. >> we have listened to the wisdom in an old russian maxim, though my pronunciation may give you difficulty, the maxim is -- [ speaking russian ] trust but verify. [ speaking russian ] >> you repeat that at every meeting. i like it. >> he did like it.

that was a landmark moment and that was landmark treaty that they signed. mine it's complicated in that it's had a lot of parts and became revised over the years but what became hugely reported today, that treaty in 1987 between ronald reagan and mikael gorbachev it banned each country of shooting off missiles that had a range between 2,200 miles and 3,400 miles. that was agreed to. the united states has apparently believed that russia has been violating that treaty and testing missiles in that category since 2008. the u.s. started to worry about it in 2008, raised and issue a couple of times since those suspicions first arose, but then today formally and officially the united states government called russia out and accused them of violating this more than 25-year-old treaty that was

agreed to by reagan and gorbachev. a protest was lodged today by president obama. he wrote a formal letter of protest to russian president vladimir putin. it's not clear what the penalty is for violating this or what the u.s. can do to enforce it. common wisdom is if you have a treaty like this, if one side breaks the treaty, the other side breaks it too. are you excited about the prospect of that? if you were hoping we could start shooting cruise missiles or ballistic missiles, maybe this is your lucky day. it happens at a tense time. it happens for us at a very dysfunctional time in our own government and that matters in term os testify way we interact in this big confusing world right now. i mean consider that specific letter, that detail, the letter that had to go from president obama to president putin today. president putin's office is physically in russia.

his offices are in moscow. to deliver a letter physically, how does it get there. with something as big a deal as this, you don't e-mail it, put a stamp on it or stick it in the mail. you have it delivered by diplomatic courier, you have it deliberated by the embassy. the u.s. embassy in moscow was given the duty of delivering this letter to putin by president obama. that's a big responsibility and a formal responsibility. you know what? we currently do not very anyone currently running our u.s. embassy right now. we have an acting ambassador. there's no u.s. ambassador to handle even matters that are as big a deal as this and the world is not waiting for us to get our act today. the world continues to spin on its axis or off its axis. president obama and the eu announced dramatic increase in the sanctions against russia because russia itself annexed part of russia in ukraine,

because of the separatists in the other part of ukraine and that because they're no longer just supporting but actively participating in the war by firing russian artillery across the border in another country, because the separatists are being blamed for the shoot-down of the passenger jet two weeks ago and regardless of who's actually responsible for, separatists control the crash site and have not only blocked people from it but have tampered with the debris and taken some of the debris and neglected and mishandled the remains of people who died and their personal effects. the world is mad at russia for all of those reasons, and the anger in particular about the passenger plane being shot down. for all of those reasons the eu decided now that they're going to get off their wallet and they have leveled the most serious european sanctions russia since the cold war. the american sanctions were already very strong but today what the president announced is

going to rope off nearly one-third of russia's banks from the rest of the financial world. it will also -- this may be key. it will block russia from buying any technology that will help its oil industry. so no deepwater oil production technology, no deepwater oil exploration technology. no technology for fracking their oil that's locked up in shale deposits. remember exxon and the other, they did the mother of all oil deals recently to do deepwater exploration and shale oil exploration and exploitation in russia. they did that huge deal not that long ago. if it hurts the biggest oil deal in the world, this exxon deal,

that's going to hurt. europe does its strongest sanctions. the u.s. upgrades its sanctions and it may even include exxon. imagine. so in a world gone mad and even if you just look at russia, things between the united states around russia are, as the president said tot, not back into the cold war but effectively looks like a full-scale economic war, full-scare economic and diplomatic war between our two countries and we don't have an ambassador to them right now. we have been watching the most dysfunctional congress ever. we've been watching for the past few days as they've been counting down to their last two work days before they go away until the fall. they leave on thursday and they

have -- after thursday they have no other sustained work period in congress until the end of the year. they will not come back to work after thursday until deep into september, and as they count down toward that long, long vacation they start at the end of this week, we've been watching the last few days as they try to get something, anything done. and today if you sensed a little ray of sunshine in the dark, it might have just been congress getting close to maybe thinking about starting to approve some of our ambassadors, including maybe even an ambassador to russia. yeah. do you think it's about time? this is our new proposed ambassador to russia. they approved the nomination. he needs to be voted on by the full senate. while voting they voted on a number of new ambassadors and this is important. heading into this week out of all the countries in the world

where we have embassies, a quart over them did not have an ambassador. today finally as they're racing for the exits, the senate tried to fix some of that. and even though they did make some progress, it was still ridiculous because it's this congress and this congress is ridiculous and today when they try to approve this whole swath of ambassadors, not enough senators were in the room to allow them to initially take the vote. this sin credible. they just didn't come. watch what happened today. they're trying to get a whole bunch of ambassadors voted on all at once. they decided they're going to vote on the ambassador to russia. yeah, seems like a good idea. they decided to vote on the ambassador to russia. decided to vote on some other ambassadors, too, and they can't because not enough members of the senate were interested in this topic to actually show up and have a quorum to cast their votes. they were busy. stuff to do. >> we're going to need still a couple more members to actually vote out resolutions and nominees. let me go through the agenda and advance the cause. next order of business is the nominees i ask to be considered

in block. without objection the ambassador to guatemala, ireland, maldonia, slovenia, kazakhstan, turkey, rwanda, republic of turkey. senator corcoran, is there any -- >> i've got all the proxies here and they're supported. i hope we have enough members to vote them out. >> any other members wishing to speak to these nominees? okay. we've now come to tend where we need bodies to vote. so -- we have one person short of being able to pass the business agenda, so i'm just going to

momentarily -- we're in the midst of calling offices. >> so -- they did eventually call around. they did eventually wake up enough senators to get them to show up. so today we did get one step closer to having ambassadors to russia, guatemala, france, monaco, bangladesh, rwanda, and turkey, not a bit too soon. we have more standing to be concerned. credit where credit is due. the congress is hurrying along. they also approved the new secretary of veterans affairs. eric shinseki stepped down this spring. late last night a few minutes before midnight the conference committee members in the veterans -- on the veterans issue signed onto a compromised bill to try to reform the va and fix the problems that have led to the scandal this year of so

many veterans not being able to access care. they had to squeeze it in right before midnight so the bill could be voted on at the last possible second before thursday before congress leaves them for more than a month. interestingly three notes did not sign off on that v.a. bill. everybody else signed off on it and said they're good with it. three of them didn't. one of them was senator john mccain. we did not hear back from his office as to why he didn't sign the v.a. bill. he's the original co-author of it. i don't think there's any reason that he would be against it ultimately. marko rubio of florida also did not sign. they did get back. they were very nice. he had to heave town on family matter but he will vote for it in the senate. that leaves one. tom coburn of oklahoma as the

only member of this conference committee who didn't sign on to the v.a. bill. we reached out to senator coburn's office. they did get back later in the day. senator coburn is not going to support the v.a. bill. he's criticizing its co. he said it is business as usual. we'll post this whole statement on our website which we got from senator coburn tonight. leading up to this, though, i should tell you that senator coburn told the local press in oklahoma about some of his concerns about the "fix the v.a." bill. he said the concerns for the plan to build a new facility for health care for veterans in oklahoma, new facility in tulsa, he said he rejected those plans in his home state because what they were planning to build in tulsa for the veterans was too nice. tom coburn told the oklahoman, they're building a taj mahal when they should be building a medical clinic. they should scale back.

if you're in oklahoma, that's what the senator thinks of you. you shouldn't get something too nice. the others all signed on to it last night. with the timing of it they just might get there ahead of the deadline on thursday to get this thing voted on and to the president. we will see. there was also a lot of noise if not a lot of movement today on the republicans in the house, potentially doing something on border issues. this is what the president had asked for in terms of resources for the board to deal with the influx of unaccompanied kids and young families on the border. the house republicans initially came back and said they didn't want to do that much. they wanted to do something more in this rage but the house republicans are now planning on actually doing comes in at this level for the next two months. bee beyond the size they're trying to do or the lack thereof, it should also be note thad two-thirds of the house

republican proposal, two-thirds of it would go toward increased border security. which makes for a nice bumper sticker. but think about it. this bill is supposed to be dealing with the surge of unaccompanied minors at the border. what those unaccompanied minors by all accounts are doing is walking up to the border, trying to find a person in uniform and then turning themselves in to that person in uniform, bolstering border security is utterly beside the point for this particular problem, but house republicans are excited about it even though it makes no sense. remember, the part of their base that has been egging them on in this issue is the part to hold protests against all of these kids coming to the border from central america. the kids are coming from el salvador and guatemala. the anti-immigrant conservative protesters this past weekend decided they were going to protest those kids by going to the consulate of mexico. they went to a bunch of different mexican consulates. the kids are not mexican. that subtle point is beyond the

scope of republican politics on this issue. a two-month bill mostly for border security that's irrelevant to the problem, why not. credit where credit is due, there was some bare evidence of governance creeping forward in washington today. and president obama for his part did take a really big swipe at russia today. he did it in conjunction with the european union. he and the european union are now pushing russia harder than they've done in decades including hitting them on the missile treaty thing and oil. if we did have an ambassador to run now what would the ambassador advise the president and what would he say how all this is going to be played out since russia is being pushed harder than the last cold war. the last person who did have that job will join us in just a moment. >> so --

>> no, it's not a new cold war. what it is is a very specific issue relating to russia's unwillingness to recognize that ukraine can chart its own path and i think if you listen to president poroshenko, if you listen to the ukrainian people they seek good relations with russia. >> president obama answering a question that seemed unexpected but saying bluntly no, we're not in a new cold war with russia but, yes, he was announcing what appeared to be the widest and mohs aggressive acts of confrontation with russia certainly since the cold war, europe acting in a way that's much wider and more aggressive than it ever has and the united states ratcheting up what we were already doing as well including something designed to hit the oil sector. joining us now is the man who until recently was our nation's ambassador of russia, michael mcfaul, currently a professor at stanford. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> can you comment on the

sanctions that might affect the oil industry. you've talked before on this show about the portion of the russian oil sector and their economy and the links to the western oil sector in terms of exploiting it. are these sanctions today going to be substantive? >> they are substantive. they had to be done. putin has escalated in ukraine. he has not backed down. the president had no choice and the leaders of europe had no choice. it will take time, however, for them to inflict pain on the oil industry in russia and think everybody needs to realize that this is not going to change putin's mind overnight, it's not going change his behavior overnight and in terms of economic costs, that's something that's measured in years, not weeks or months, but in time it will. the exxonmobil/rosneft deal is

the largest if it would go through with the $5 billion it had planned. russia needs that technology for that to go forward. if that gets slowed down because of the sanctions that will have real costs but over time, not immediately. >> it's interesting to see that while there are direct sanctions on oil issues, there are not direct sanctions on gas. i wonder with that carve-out for that very important economic issue, if you think that what europe has done outside of the gas issue is an important uptick for them. they've been seen to be a little shyer about sanctions than president obama has. >> it most certainly is an uptick. in fact, i was reading memoirs. it was interesting to hear the sound bites you started your show with with reagan and gorbachev. i look at what the united states did after the crackdown on solidarity in poland.

there was big debate between the european union and the united states over pipeline building. they were lesser sanctions than the one we saw today. so that gives you a comparative of how serious this is that says, you're right, there was a carve-out for gazprom. the russian bank was left off the list, and, of course, i think most disappointingly, so far the french have continued with their sale of their warships to russia. that in my mind is a disappointment. >> that would also imply, though, that there is more room to grow if russia continues to act in a way that continues to be provocative enough that it inspires more of a crackdown. i mean looking at this in historical perspective, raising the issue of how the west dealt with the soviet union who when

it was in a different economic place than we are now and we were in a different global economy than we are now, are there lessons in history that creates what hurt enough that russian policies wouldn't change? what they're doing in crew crane, their rhetoric is a lot better but their actions seem to be a lot worse. >> well, history doesn't tell us so much for a couple of reasons. one is the russian companies, especially the banks and energy sectors and others are more integrated in the world of economy today so the leverage is greater today than it was back in 1981 or '83 after the shoot-down o of the korean airline 007 where there also were some minor sanctions. but the second part of that is that there's more to be lost by the europeans and for some american companies as well from those sanctions and so that

two-way street, i think, makes it harder to go forward with the sanctions. but, again, i am generally impressed with what happened today. i don't predict putin is going to change his mind overnight but it was a right step. >> ambassador michael mcfaul. thank you. nice to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> again, the news from congress, finally today the senate took a big step toward approving a successor to ambassador mcfaul. we have not had one. we have more including me driving a car in studio on set. we did not rehearse it and we definitely should have rehearsed it. h, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww!

one of the hallmarks of the republican party after the bush/cheney area, one of things they have done in american politics that they will be remembered for is they've come up with ways to close down tons of abortion clinics across america. republicans since bush and cheney have come up with legislative strategies that they put into effect in multiple states to shut down clinics. half the clinics in texas and alabama. they're aiming to close all but two. oklahoma, they're aiming to get all but one clinic closed down. louisiana, the law they passed last month they think they'll close all but one or two clinics in this state. all of these states when they pass the new laws that shut down clinics that do the abortions, they never say they're trying to shut down clinics that shut down abortions. they usually cite safety or some good sounding neutral sounding rationale. they never come down to say

they're trying to end access to abortion in their states except in mississippi. there they admit it. the state's governor in mississippi has been totally open about what his state's shout down the clinic laws are designed to do. >> we're going to continue to try to work to end abortion in mississippi, and this is a historic day to begin that process. >> that was mississippi's governor in 2012 when he signed his state's version of the law that's been used in republican controlled states across the country to stop women from being able to get abortions by closing down the clinics that provide abortions. and when mississippi governor phil bryant sign thad law in his state, his state was already down to only one clinic left anyway. but the state legislature and governor bryant they were very clear that they wanted mississippi to not have abortion access anymore. they wanted that one clinic

gone. they wanted there to be no place at all anywhere in mississippi where a woman could legally get an abortion. well, today a federal 'peels court said that mississippi can't do that. the court blocked the state law that would have closed the last clinic in mississippi. mississippi had argued to the court that, yes, they did want to shut down that clinic but women in mississippi, they said, could drive to another state if they wanted to get that kind of care. the court said no to that. the court said, quote, a woman has a constitutional right to end her pregnancy by abortion. hb-1390 effectively extinguished that right. as the ap put it today the court ruled effectively mississippi may not shift to another state its obligation for establishes constitutional rights of its citizens. so now we know. as a state after republican controlled state forces all of these clinics to close, now today with this ruling, we know what the court says is the limit at least for now. you may be able to legislate half the clinics in texas away,

you may be able to legislate it down to one clinic in oklahoma or one clinic in alabama, but you cannot legislate away every last clinic in a state. you have to leave at least one. that's the news today from the courts and that has been the story across the country for the past couple of years. i mean mostly abortion clinics, women's health centers have been closing. we do not have many new ones opening which is why it was a big deal last year when planned parenthood announced they were building a new women's health care facility for the great city of new orleans. because of that close down the clinics law that louisiana passed last month, it's not clear anymore what services planned parenthood will be able to provide at this new clinic, they are building it and in the midst of building it look who showed up.

here's a scene earlier this month where anti-abortion protesters campaigned. they protested at the construction site and the company and the contractors building the clinic. what they said they were doing was taking territory. the group who organized the week-long protest is now known as operation save america. you may know them by their old name operation rescue. it's a group that got famous decades ago outside clinics in wichita, kansas. they're known for their radical apocalyptic brand of christianity. in their world view you're either with them on this issue or you are with satan. operation save america likes to frame this issue as churches on one side, religious people on one side and abortion rights on the other. religious people, churches on one side, women's health care on the other. but when you talk to abortion doctors and pro-choice activists as we have frequently done when

we cover the topic on this show, those folks often talk about working on the pro-choice size from their own sense of religion, sometimes their sense of religious mission. in 2009 a follower of the radical anti-abortion movement in this country shot and killed the doctor who ran a wichita clinic. the doctor's name was dr. george tiller and he was killed inside his church. he was killed inside his church where he was ushering at his services. >> 911. >> someone just came in and shot someone this the church. >> the man who shot tiller had a post-it note on his dashboard. the murder of dr. tiller did not happen at his clinic. it happened inside a church, inside his own church, his own religious sanctuary. the story of abortion rights has never been as simple as church and anti-church the way they want the country to see it. in new orleans planned parenthood is building that new facility down the street from a unitarian universalist church. when they had their groundbreaking this spring it

turned out it rained that spring so they couldn't hold the groundbreaking outside. they turned to their ran plan and the rain plan was to moved indoors. they moved it to their local church. they moved it to the unitarian universalist church a few blocks away. they were welcomed there and the pews were packed with supporters. with the unitarian church that was an act of hospitality and this new care facility. for the extremists, what this church did apparently turned out to them turned down an act of provocation and on the second day of their day of campaigning they showed up at the unitarian church service. >> we had begun our time together of collective prayer and meditation. we were lifting up the beloveds who we had lost in the past two weeks and we had a moment of silence.

a voice came. we were all stunned. we realize suddenly, wait, that's not our script. in the midst of silence, people started standing up, pulling off their buttoned down shirts and revealed their t-shirts. they started crying out malice and hate and the youth who had spent the week studying to be leaders stood up and took hands and starting to circle around and they encouraged the rest of the congregation to take their hands and they circled around an we started the music, and we started singing and encouraged everyone who could be with us respectfully to be with us respectfully and if you couldn't take your disrespect past the threshold outside the church. after that happened, after we had gathered back, the director of religious education went to check all the doors, check on the youth and parentally some of the ones who left went over -- you've seen how the building is constructed.

mostly brick but on the religious education center there's windows to the outside. those went and took their grotesque signs and were pushing them at the windows and screaming at the babies. again, i looked up the young adults in the room who were in charge of the nursery and calmly took them out and left a sign on the door for the parents. >> how did it make you feel? >> in the moment? there's a brethren song that says some people do, do, do what they have to do and some people did what they had to do in that moment. i will ever be so proud of the people i serve. they moved from a place of love and compassion and respect even though that was not what they were receiving from the people in the room. >> that's the reverend deana vandiver. she was in the pulpit that sunday when anti-abortion protesters crashed the church

and disrupted the services and then stood outside the nursery services to yell and protest at the little kids who were in child care during sunday services. we contacted the group that disrupted that church service that day. they call themselves again operation save america. their spokesperson told us over the phone some members of the group went too far that day in storming into the church and stopping the worship. they've been asked not do that. that said on their website operation save america describes what they did at that church as a big success. they've been bragging about it ever since including the website. their leader call as what they did in that church that day, quote, dynamic witness." the people inside the church, though, felt it was a little

different. >> what do you think their intent was? >> i think their intent -- i try to imagine someone coming into my childhood church and start telling people as they're worshipping, praying in the most sacred holy connected place, i try to imagine someone coming in telling them that they're wrong, that their god is not worthy, that their faith is not true and i can't imagine it. i mean i just can't. and so that it would happen to our congregation, to our faith -- it just speaks to me of the fear. it speaks to me of the fear in which people live. i'm grateful that the congregation that i serve -- i serve three in this area as community minister -- i'm grateful that they're not willing to live in fear, that they're going to stand on the side of love. >> did you feel like your congregation felt threatened by them? >> i would say definitely some people did.

and there was some language. many had not heard of the malice of hate. a sanctuary by definition is a sacred, holy, safe place. so the idea of that being -- that happening in there, i mean it is vile. i'm not sure what happens next but i'm really clear even though favor's of all traditions have different ideas about family planning, one thing that i'm really clear about is we have a pretty general moral consensus that freedom of religion is a founding principle of this country and what happened here on sunday was the opposite of that. we were holding our free church religious service and it was invaded by another religious group and we were told that we could not worship in the way we

were worshipping. that's ultimately undermining of the theory of this country's founding. i don't believe that people of good faith and good willy be allowed to with good conscience have that happen. >> two things are going on right now. abortion clinics are closing all over the country where republicans are in charge of state government. the republican party has effectively mainstreamed legislative tactics that really have worked, they really have successfully shut down clinics everywhere. and also the most radical and confrontational factions of the anti-abortion protest movement absolutely believe they're the reason their movement is winning particularly with the supreme court saying they can't be kept away from clinic entrances

anymore, the ragged edge, the anti-abortion movement, the most confrontational edge the anti-abortion edge which has infrequently but regularly crossed over into violence, they believe that their movement is winning and that they're the reason why their movement is winning. they also believe that the way that the way they win all the way, they can achieve the criminal invasion of it, the thing they believe they're on the cusp of, the thing they can get if they just protest harder, if they just protest harder and louder and closer and closer and closer. and this week that included going to this doctor's house. that story is coming tomorrow. we hope you'll be with us for more on that. stay with us.

and you might want to get that pipe fixed. there's about to be a tiny car crash on this show. but first, here's why. significant decline in uninsured rates since 2013. the verdict is in. obamacare lowers uninsured rates. steep drop in the uninsured. obamacare driving down uninsured rates. love or hate obamacare, it does mean that more people in our country have more health insurance now. the verdict is in. there is an exception, though, it is the state of mississippi. second worst uninsured rate in the country and a state government working hard to make sure it stays that way. mississippi might be the only state in the country where the uninsured rate has gotten worse and not better. mississippi's republican governor phil bryant responded by saying it's all obamacare's

fault. he said, statistics show that it's resulting in higher rates of uninsured rate in mississippi, i would say that's another example of a broken promise from barack obama. obamacare not working in mississippi. and look how terrible it's turning out for them in that state. obamacare must be a terrible thing. in the real world what's happening is that mississippi is doing everything it can to stop obamacare in that state. and now they're mad that it doesn't work. governor bryant said he didn't let the state create an ex-change to buy insurance. he said it would be a gateway to obamacare. the feds said they would go ahead with "one mississippi" but thanks to the governor, it was impossible.

and the mississippi governor said no to medicaid, too. it would wiped hundreds of thousands of people off the rolls of the uninsured in his state. but the government said it was a fool's errand. besides, he said, uninsured people in mississippi can always go to the emergency room. he has done everything in his pow tore prevent obamacare from working. he's phone out of his way to wreck it and now he's blaming it for not working in his state. which is like being given a new sports car, like say this one, works fine. works according to plan. works according to directions. i'm terrible at it, but it does work. this works, it's fine, works as

directed. but hey, i'm a governor who really does not want this thing i have to work. so in order to make sure it does not work, i will do a little tinkering with this toy. i want to make sure it doesn't work as planned, so -- that should do it. now let's see how much mississippi's health care system works. this piece of junk, it doesn't work. when i try to take this car for a spin one more time, this thing's a mess. why does this stupid car not work? it's a terrible car, it doesn't work, i wonder why. yes, mississippi's health system doesn't work that well. there are a high number of people who don't have insurance in that state. it's a bad situation. presented with a way to make that better that's working

across the country, the governor of mississippi decided instead to take a hammer to it. but hey, president obama, it doesn't work. what are you going to do about it? >> rachel, you broke my heart when you beat up that sports car. me and little boys across america. i thought for sure i was going to get to play with that. >> i'll bring you the wheel. >> thank you very much, rachel. tonight, as israel continues to attack hamas, the israeli media decided to attack john kerry. >> secretary of state kerry is feeling the heat. >> a ferocious attack. >> times of israel published an op-ed. >> obama and kerry, it says, are playing with fire.
