that's "all in" for this evening. the "rachel maddow show" starts right now. >> thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. one of the smaller scale controversies of the last presidential administration is that when george w. bush and dick cheney were in the white house, they decide they would not release to the public the visitors logs from the white house. now a lot of people visit the white house. tens of thousands of people every month. and, obviously, most of them are there for white house tours, right? but when you sign in, as a white house visitor for any reason, you sign what is in effect a public document. and it's hard to argue why public documents like that should be kept secret. if journalists or researchers want to fig are out who was in or out of the white house on a given day. it's a matter of public record. in the george w. bush administration, those records were sealed. when the next president took office, that is one of the

things that the new president, barack obama, changed at the white house. starting a few months after president obama was sworn in, the white house started releasing big batches of the visitors logs for who was visiting the white house. these were huge files that they released. tens of thousands of people visit every month. they released them in an interesting way. they released them online as a searchable database. so even though they are dumping this data, this huge data dumps, the first one was the first seven months of white house visitors logs. it's this huge amount of data they made public but they made it public in a way that made it easy to slog through. you wanted to get through that information to find newsworthy stuff, just search for people's individual names to see if they visited thes whvisited thes who. when that first batch of visitors logs was posted, the conservative media ran through the database. the most scandalous names they could think of and some of them popped. they discovered the biggest scandal you could possibly imagine about those white house

visitors logs. remember jeremiah wright? the controversial preacher president obama distanced himself from during the 2008 campaign? turns out he didn't really distance himself from jeremiah wright because there is reverend jeremiah wright on the white house visitors logs. oh, my god. they've been sneaking jeremiah wright into the white house. he must be secretly running the country. oh, no, he's not. you want to know who is running the country? bill ayers, the '60s bomber guy. remember when they tried to tie president obama to bill ayers in the 2008 campaign and barack obama had nothing to do with bill ayers? well then, oh, yeah, why is bill ayers coming into the white house. there's his name right there on the white house visitors logs. and while we're on the subject, oh, my god, michael moore. michael moore! michael moore being snuck into the white house. there's his name on the white house visitors logs. and berthsa lewis, the lady from

acorn. also michael jordan. michael jordan, is he a scandal? their names are on the white house visitors logs. this was the weekly standard conservative magazine reacting to this shocking news. what a friday afternoon news dump. i tried to warn you, america. reverend wright and bill ayers. more from the weekly standard. visitors logs have two visit by bill ayers, one by jeremiah wright. this was from that conservative blog hot air doing some very damning math with this information. jeremiah wright has visited the white house more often than general mcchrystal and general petraeus combined. turns out more than one person in america has the name jeremiah wright. the person on the white house visitors log was not that jeremiah wright. also bill ayers, william ayers, there's more than one person in

america with that name. bertha lewis, the lady from acorn is bertha m. lewis. bertha e. lewis visited the white house, probably for a tour. i hope she had a nice time. if you get 100,000 people visiting the white house in a month, mostly as a tourist destination and then release seven months of visitor logs at a time, you are getting close to 750,000 names you are releasing as part of this searchable public document. when you have that many names you are releasing, yeah, there will be some people who sound like they are public figures when really they are not. and the white house when they release these initial logs with these hundreds of thousands of names they realized that was going to happen. they published a blog post explaining that people should not get too excited about individual names without further checking. given this charge amount of data the records include a few false positives. names that make you think of a

well-known person but are actually someone else. and you know, when that happened, the normal media, at the time, mostly reported it that way. this was abc news. white house posts visitor lists. is that the bill ayers? no. here's "the washington post" making the same point about the false-positives in what might appear to be well known people's names but aren't actually those well known people. here's the "new york daily news" managing to be tabloidy about it. white house visit list includes bill ayers, jeremiah wright, michael moore, semicolon, names don't match controversial figures. that's perfect. so they get the bold face names up there. the scandal right up there in the headline and then actually, this is not a scandal. but that is an accurate way to report what did or in this case did not happen. that's how it happened in the normal media. didn't go that way in the conservative media.

the conservative media, they lost their minds. jeremiah wright, bill ayers, acorn. michael jordan. is he a scandal? that was 2009. in 2010, conservative media posted online this video of an official from the u.s. department of agriculture giving a speech to the naacp. they said this was video evidence of racism from a federal appointee. they posted an edited excerpt of this speech by shirley sherrod. in the excerpt she appeared to describe how to discriminate against white people at the u.s. department of agriculture. how the government could favor black people and hurt white people on purpose. conservative media posted it. the normal media picked up and ran with the story for a little while because it was making noise an the right. despite the woman's protest that was not at all what she said in that speech. the agricult are department went ahead and fired her from her job

on the basis of this tape posted by conservative media. turns out the excerpt they posted of shirley sherrod talking about racial discrimination was part of a long parable about why racial discrimination by the government is a terrible thing that should never be done. that was the point of her speech. want that she was saying government should discriminate. she's saying government should definitely not discriminate like this. so once the full tape was posted, everybody was very embarrassed. the department of agriculture rescinded firing her. offered her her old job back. maybe you'd like a different job. there were lawsuits about this. a lot of hard feelings. groups that came out and initially criticized her based an what the conservative media said she said. the naacp felt they had been snookered into criticizing her when the initial tape came out. they felt tricked.

so that was 2010. right before that 2012 election, a great one, where the conservative media reported with huge fanfare and huge drama that senator bob menendez of new jersey had been caught red-handed in a huge prostitution scandal in the dominican republic. i mean caught red-handed. conservative media found three women who said they had sex with senator menendez for money. this was a huge scandal they turned up about senator menendez until the women all said, actually, no, they didn't actually have sex with him for money. somebody paid them to say that they did. but, still it was great for a really great day on the conservative blogs while everybody believed it for a second. right after the 2012 election, juan cat posted about this today. so bob menendez was the lead-up to the 2012 election.

right after the 2012 election, conservative media lost their minds over something that happened in florida. in st. lucie county, florida, where something obviously went totally wrong. very obvious voter fraud in the 2012 election. stuffing the ballot box for president obama. president obama and the democrats stealing the election in florida. you want to know how they know it happened? because they had proof. they published proof. on the ground reporting that 140% voter turnout had been recorded in one democratic leaning county. st. lucie had 140% voter turnsnout how do you get 140%. you can't get more people than are registered to vote. that's obvious fraud. that's how president obama stole the election. 140%. turns out what that actually was was roughly 70% voter turnout but the ballot was two pages. so if you count each page as its

own ballot. math is hard, barbie. last year the friends of hamas scandal. chuck hagel is going to be confi confirmed. in the course of reporting on that kerfuffle, one reporter basically said sarcastically, what, do you think he got paid by friends of hamas or something? so then you get in conservative media, sources say chuck hagel was paid by friends of hamas. >> it was a report that came out last week, not confirmed yet. also not denying it very vigorously that one of the groups might have been an outfit called friends of hamas. that is not -- >> that has a ring to it. >> with any of this, if he is confirmed -- >> an outfit called friends of hamas.

>> friends of hamas is not a thing that exists. the whole idea of friends of hamas was a joke that the conservative media ran with as if this was a real group that really was paying the u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel. friends of -- this is like when mitch mcconnell fell for the report that said guantanamo prisoners were getting gi bill benefits. now we've got a new one. president obama this weekend made his formal announcement his nominee to succeed eric holder is federal prosecutor loretta lynch from new york. the day president obamma made that announcement at the white house, conservative media posted a very exciting and somewhat damning new exclusive scoop about loretta lynch.

quote, there's one case lynch was involved in that few are talking about. see, sure, the lamstream media doesn't want you talking about this. that's why we have the brave conservative media to dig this stuff out and tell america's hard truths that the lamestream media. >> loretta lynch was part of president clinton's whitewater defense team in 1992. that's what they don't want to talk about. she's part of a clinton scandal. sure, nobody remembers what that was because it's not clear what the scandalous behavior was but she was right in the middle of it and the lamestreet media will not tell you that. published that on saturday. on sunday they published a follow-up story. this whitewater scandal thing is a really big deal. the connection to whitewater ought to provide additional fodder for republicans during loretta lynch's confirmation hearings. why won't the lamestreet media tell the truth about loretta lynch being a lawyer for the

clintons in the whitewater scandal? the reason the lamestream media won't tell the truth about that is the loretta lynch just nominated is not involved in the whitewater scandal. it was the nice lady on the left who has absolutely nothing to do with the attorney general nominee on the right. they are both named loretta lynch. so that led to lots of sad headlines today. right? breitbart's attack goes after the wrong loretta lynch. breitbart attacked the wrong loretta lynch. feelings kind of the same though. a whole new round of press hilarity over this today when the outlet that was pursuing this line of attack, the breitbart news tried to save face by adding a correction to their story. they wanted to leave the story up because it was such a great

scandal. but they knew they had to correct it. they left up the headline. obama's attorney general nominee loretta lynch represented clintons during whitewater, brackets, corrected. thn they left the story intact about how obama's nominee represented the clintons in whitewater. we've got that headline, the picture of her. the whole story. you get down to the end and then the oitalicized slight correction. the loretta lynch identified earlier as the whitewater attorney was in fact, a different attorney. still, though, great story, right? clearly for a while they thought adding this correction to this would give them a way to keep the story up. eventually they took it down off that website. here's the important thing. it's still out there. the story is still up right now. a scandal on world net daily. one of my favorite conspiracy theory websites. today i got my regular morning

e-mail asking for money so republicans will impeach president obama. this is from teaparty.net. a clip from fox news about how president obama is going to be impeached. he may not have a strategy but we do. impeach obama. click here to donate. the list of scandals with corruption goes on and on. nixon was threatened with impeachment for less. had enough? click here to donate? want to turn more about the terrible scandals of the obama administration so we can get him impeached? what are those scandals? look. look. obama's attorney general nomination loretta lynch represented clntons during whitewater. there's a parallel universe in our politics where this is what the news looks like. no matter how stuff gets corrected or laughed at or even occasionally ignored in the real media, on the right, this is what the news looks like and

this stuff never dies. we've got a lot going on of substance in american politics and american government. there's a war on for one. president obama wants to double the deployment of troops to iraq. he wants a vote on funding that before those extra troops go. all several billion in funding for the fight against ebola. the last u.s. patient with ebowl acraig spence ehas recovered. he's going to be going home from new york city tomorrow. pending is this big request for how the u.s. government is going to fight this at home and globally. the president just made this big dramatic announcement about net neutrality. the republicans basically declared war on neutrality. we'll have a really big fight on that. the white house wants net neutrality. all the spending bills are coming up. all the work in congress to keep the lights an to keep the federal government funded. that used to not be a controversial thing but they sometimes have a tough time with that. and now this need of needing to

confirm a new attorney general of the united states. loretta lynch the nominee. she's come before the senate twice before for confirmation as a federal prosecutor. not a single vote against her either of the times she's been confirmed. if you want to know why even the basic stuff can't get done, why even the easy stuff is impossible in washington now, it's this parallel universe that we've got. conservatives have built themselves a very popular, very successful media landscape that doesn't just tell conservatives things they want to hear in terms of opinion. they just make stuff up. they make up news stories that aren't true and when they get corrected in other places they never disappear from the conservative media. and this is not just now but increasingly what american conservatives consume as their news diet. this is what they think news is. this is their information stream. in a world in which everybody

was operating from the same set of facts, which are facts. the confirmation of loretta lynch as an attorney general is a mildly interesting process story. in our insane world in which conservatives do not operate from the same facts that everybody else does. they operate from an information diet that says these two women are the same person or might as well be. in that world, which is our world, the confirmation of loretta lynch is going to be the most fascinating thing an earth. who knows what they're going to make up next. i got this.

city traceable to hydrogen sulified gas. the emergencies minnistries told people to close their windows and stay inside to avoid this stink in the city. later in the day they said while the smell remained unpleasant it was, quote, not unsafe to breathe. the emergencies ministry blamed it on faulty air filters at a nearby refinery. the refinery owner is denying it's their fault. others suggest it may be coming from a wastewater facility. nobody has fessed up to it yet. moscow did have a really big ugly stink today. in beijing, china, a day with a big hugly stink is any day that ends in "y." this was the beijing marathon three weeks ago. marathon runners had to wear respirators. they washed the runners down because their skin had been exposed to the toxic air pollution for too long.

that's embarrassing for chin today because 20 world leaders arrived for the asia pacific economic cooperation summit. to avoid the world leaders having to wear respirators, they pulled out all stops to prevent the smog. they closed down thousands of construction sites, forced cars off the road. they closed schools. they even shut off central heating in the college dorms. beijing basically shut down a significant portion of that huge city to promise temporarily blue skies and breathable air for president obama and the other world dignitaries arriving for this summit. didn't work. today the first day of the summit, the air was still very polluted, considered unhealthy to breathe. the u.s. embassy in beijing tracks air quality levels an their website.

those levels for today, throughout the day, were mostly unhealthy. and that is not at all what beijing wanted. they thought they took care of this problem. but what they did just didn't work. plan b to fix this problem? to sensor it. to sensor the air. usually people in china can see that air quality data on their smartphones or other websites. today that data from the u.s. embassy not available. was blocked from other websites and smartphone apps in china. u.s. embassy, not available. now that the summit has started, the apps only show air quality readings provided by the chinese government which tend to provide a rosier portrait of pollution levels. no worries, folks, clear skies ahead. in spite of that less than blue sky today, the apec summit did begin as planned. in his remarks today, president

obama discussed the importance of china in a growing asia pacific economy. also offered a couple delegate pointers. >> obviously, ensuring the continued growth of the asia pacific requires more than a focus an growth on trade and investment. steady and sustainable growth requires promoting policies and practices that keep the internet open and accessible. steady and sustainable growth requires a planet where citizens can breathe clean air. >> a planet where people can breathe clean air and policies that keep the internet open and accessible. president obama made these remarks in beijing where the air quality is noxiously terrible and smoggy and where the government tried to prevent people today from finding out just how unhealthy and noxious it was by in part, taking over the internet. an that same day, president obama was in china talking about the internet, the white house also unveiled this thing about the internet here in the united

states. look. president obama's plan for a free and open internet. president obama making the point in a taped statement released here today that big companies like our corporate bosses, hi, comcast, should not be allowed to block or limit access to or speed up or slow down the internet. the president urging the fcc in blunt language to set new rules to protect net neutrality. as if on cue republicans tore into this idea. house speaker john boehner released an idea saying net neutrality hurts job creation. mitch mcconnell contended net neutrality would stifle innovati innovation. senator ted cruz denounced it as obamacare for the internet. the internet has health insurance now? as republicans gear up for the next session of congress when they are in charge is this what they are all going to be fighting about? joining susryan grimm for

huffington post. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> was this -- you've been reporting on this for a long time. people who have been watching this issue closely, was this a fate decomplea? did we know this was coming? >> absolutely not. during the africa summit, he made some comments favorable about net neutrality that said there ought to be an open internet and not this fast lane that places like comcast and time warner would like to see happen. the idea he'd step out as far as we did today was quite remarkable. and basically, he said today that net neutrality should be regulated like a utility under title 2 is the technical term. the internet is a public utility like water and road. the government should be that everyone has equal access to it. that was a stunning remark and forces the hand of the fcc.

>> the president did come out with this very blunt statement on it today. the congress pushed back. the republicans in congress pushed back in pretty stark terms. as policy, the president and congress don't really get to decide this. it's the fcc. what happens next there? what should we be watching for? >> it most likely will be on december 11th is when the fcc has its next meeting. this is what's fascinating about the way the government will be working more and more as we go forward. as congressional dysfunction basically becomes malfunction, you'll see power devolve to these regulatory agencies to the administration and the fcc is one of them. the fcc will decide, december 11th it will probably vote 3-2 to back up what the president says. remarkably, they don't have to. they could, even though they are sort of part of the administration. they could buck the president on this. there are two strong democratic commissioners and a democratic

chairman. in all likelihood, even though the chairman is somewhat reluctant to go as far as the president suggested he do, he probably will go there because it's almost politically untenable for him to buck the president at this point. >> the president being so blunt about his political position on this really puts the pressure in a way that wasn't there before. ryan grim, washington bureau chief for hufgton post. appreciate it. we've got a thrott come, including a live report from richard engel who is the first american tv network journalist to report from the scene of some of the worst fighting in the war against isis. what richard has just done and just filed is incredible. we've got that, plus him coming up. stay with us.

nixon's chief of staff. he went to prison because of watergate. he's talking about a woman named rose. we think rose is maybe rosemary woods, president nixon's personal secretary. we don't know for sure, though. listen to what he says. >> he had some more -- from rose about the fact that she had put her phone calls through chapin. her car was not far enough up in the motorcade and her room placement was bad. >> certainly thoughtful of her to burden the president with that. that's president nixon's chief of staff lamenting in his audio diary for the day that a person we think is rosemary woods had been complaining directly to the president about things like her car and accommodations an a presidential trip abroad. that was from february 1972. as white house chief of staff, h.j. halderman left voluminous

audio diaries. they've just been released by the nixon library. we're just starting to go through them. we posted a link to them at maddow blog. the transcripts and audio themselves. just picking a day, reading the transcripts, it's incredible stuff. here for example is h.r. halderman discussing a potential supreme cort nomination from president nixon. >> came up with the idea of bird of west virginia because he was a former ku klux klanner, he's elected by the democrats as whip, self-made lawyer. >> richard nixon considered robert byrd as a potential supreme court nominee but to be clear he sees the fact that robert byrd was a member of the ku klux klan as a reason to pick him for the supreme court. it's not like, i'd love him, but he was in the klan. it was, he'll be great. a great nominee. did you know he was in the klan.

what? listening to these new nixon tapes, there's a lot of stuff here. one of the unexpectedly moving things that happens on these tapes has to do with the war. there's this sort of riveting glimpse of how nixon's war, the vietnam war was weighing on him as a president personally. it was a way he was willing at least once to let his staff see and halderman described it in his diary. what they are talking about here is a woman, they describe her as mrs. nolde, the wife of the man considered to be the last official combat casualty of the vietnam war. this is about mrs. nolde's visit to washington for her husband's burial at washington national cemetery. >> looking at mrs. nolde, the wife of the colonel who was the last man to die in vietnam, she came to washington for the funeral with her five children,

some brothers and sisters and the whole family. and after the fooneral service, the president had them come in. he says they were a typical american family and that she had conducted herself and walked in like a first lady. and then on the kids, the 17-year-old boy who had a ragged beard and a mustache and long hair, the type that cbs would pick out, and they did and make a statement on why his father died. it was superb. he said he was proud of his dad, fought for peace. the 16-year-old daughter, blond, blue-eyed looked up at the president and said just could i kiss you. at this point, there was a long silence and i had been making notes, looked up and the president was just standing there. he started to say something and couldn't say it. paused for quite a bit longer. more silence and then sort of said under his voice, i guess

that's what it's all about. then paused a minute, turned around and walked out of the state dining room while everybody sat in silence for a moment and then rose and applauded for quite a long time. there was a highly emotional and highly dramatic moment. one of the more unforgettable ones of the time we've been here. >> just declassified audio diary from nixon chief of staff h.r. halderman. nixon later wrote about that moment halderman is describing there. he wrote that he never hated the vietnam war more than he did in that moment in that single encounter with the family of the man who was the last recorded combat casualty of vietnam. on friday, this past friday, the current commander in chief announced he is doubling the number of u.s. service members in iraq. president obama authorized another 1500 troops for

deployment as part of the mission against isis. the pentagon said those additional 1500 troops will not be sent until congress votes to send them and funds their deployment. whatever you think about u.s. troops being back in iraq in this military strategy for fighting isis militants in iraq and syria, president obama has determined this decision will not remain his alone. it is never supposed to be a president's decision alone. it's supposed to be congress' call when we go to war. now the additional troops at least, this doubling of the deployment back into iraq is an oip question. the military says that's what they want. that's what the president says he wants but it's on hold while congress decides whether they can actually summon the courage to vote on it. to vote on whether or not to do it. congress comes back on wednesday, the day after veterans day, tomorrow, to start what constitutes a work frenzy for them. seven whole workdays between now and the end of the month. then they meet again for eight

ars president obama asked to double the amount of troops fighting isis. as congress decides an whether to fund that fight against isis, one of the most difficult things about covering isis is how difficult and dangerous it is for journalists to get close enough to report on what's going on. now nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel has become the first american network correspondent to get inside kobani, the town on the syrian border that's been under siege by isis for months now. this is remarkable footage. watch this. >> reporter: for two months, kobani has been fighting for its life. surrounded with standing wave after wave of isis attacks. we managed to get inside. and found a city devastated but refusing to surrender. these kurdish fighters, women and men, are outgunned and

outnumbered. >> 34-year-old azima is a top field commander. her name means strength. now we run, she says. sheets hung across intersections cloak our movements from enemy snipers. you stay low and run fast. she took us to the southern front as kurdish women, she says, we are tied to our land and principles more than our lives. we follow her to kobani's city hall, now a front line position. the enemy is just 20 feet away. >> the isis fighters come in waves. 40, 50 fighters will come and try and swarm into the building. to keep them back, the kurds of kobani mostly have light weapons and grenades. they are like no other fighting group in syria. secular nationalists with a classless communal lifestyle. no ranks. everyone part of the war effort. most women have one home, one

family to care for. not us. we care for our nation, she says. half of kobani has fallen to isis. its defenders are trying to claw it back. >> richard engel filed that dispatch tonight. he's the first american network correspondent to report from kobani. where fighting is ongoing. incredible reporting and very dangerous to get. richard joins us now live from turkey which is near the syrian border. richard, thank you for being here. what's going to happen in kobani, best as you can tell. why is it strategically so important? >> right now there is something of a standoff in kobani. i would say half of the city is held by isis. the other half by the kurdish fighters. and it's very difficult for either side to make advances because this is street to street

fighting. even though there are some u.s. air strikes, it still takes a lot of skill to and a lot of bravery, frankly, to advance, to z<

-- they don't want them to have weapons. this stage their biggest fear is probably not being pushed out on the battlefield but being strangled by the closure. >> richard, talking about the u.s. air strikes with ammunition and other supplies and the impact of the coalition air strikes. are those making any sort of

difference and from your just tactical judgment having been there is there more that the coalition could do that would make a difference in the fight for kobani? >> there's quite a bit that the coalition could do. turkey would have to cooperate more, and i know that is very frustrating for members of the u.s. military that they can't get more supplies through turkey. that turkey doesn't have an open door policy for them. i wouldn't be surprised if there is another u.s. air drop, perhaps even in the next couple of weeks an kobani because the u.s. wants to help the people of kobani. it's finding it frustrating that the turks rn s aren't allowing supplies to go in. the air strikes are helping and slowing down the isis advance making it more difficult for isis to bring in its own heavy weapons. this began a couple of months

ago when isis decided it was going to make a stand. it was going to take this village on the turkish border. take it in front of everyone's eyes. raise the black flag right on turkey's border and say we are here. we took this village and nothing can stop us. the people of kobani decided they weren't going to let this happen and eventually the u.s. decided it was going to give help to the people of kobani so it wouldn't have this very public loss would which would be a morale loss for the entire front against isis right in a very visible place. even though journalists, most journalists haven't been able to get inside kobani, people have been able to watch what's happened through social media and because it's right on the turkish border. you can stand on hills inside turkey and see the explosions and isis fighters maneuvering just a few miles away. even though the u.s. has decided to help and is carrying out the air strikes it really is down to

the fighters on the ground to go street to street building to building n hold the blocks that they have. and they need weapons and they need supplies for that. and eventually they will run out. >> richard engel, nbc news chief foreign correspondent. thank you for being with us. i really appreciate it. just incredible reporting. we're going to have much more of this reporting from richard this week, specifically an friday night. ruchard will have more of this reporting from kobani and the wider fight from isis. richard is right in the middle in a way no one else is or has been. his special friday night at 9:00, required viewing. we'll be right back. turn the trips you have to take,

it's the ehaven't where people with big boats and big machine spend three days trying to bag a marlin. nothing even under 300 pounds will be considered in the tornament. if you land the biggest fish, the prize money is astonishing. the winner takes home hundreds of thousands of dollars. this is what cabo san lucas, mexico, looked like after hurricane odile hit. it was one of the strongest to make landfall. it devastated cabo san lucas about a month before that huge expensive fuishing tournament ws supposed to happen there. they decided after that hurricane they wouldn't cancel the tournament and got a foundation to pay the entry fees for anyone who wanted to fish but would charter a local captain and local boat for their entry. they are trying to prop up the local fishing industry. 50 teams took up this fondation and hired locals. one more thing is about a place called casa ogar, the name of an

orphanage in cabo san lucas. it was damaged by the hurricane. they were able to help rebuild. benefactors in this tournament sponsored the orphanage's entry fee. put up their share of the entry fee, fishing license, rented a boat so the orphanage could participate in the tournament. that's what leads us to the best new thing. team casa hogar, none of whom had ever gone bill fishing before, they won the whole freaking tournament. a 385-pound blue marlin on the second day of the tournament. no one brought in a bigger one. the orphanage took home a check for more than $250,000 for winning this fishing tournament. and they can use it. not the only best new thing in the world. the other is the last term you

need to understand is much mucho bueno. that was the name of the winning team's boat. captain ernie taking the orphanage team out for their big win thane "mucho bueno." >> best thing in the world, even if you don't like fishing. implementation, the affordable care act is headed back to the supreme court. >> it might feel this week like you're stuck in a time warp. >> get another challenge to the aca. >> the biggest threat to the affordable care act is once again the supreme court. >> this thing pretty much pays for all of it. >> subsidies are key to keeping costs down. >> argument being made rests on something of a technicality.
