hello, everyone. i'm yasmin yousafzai in new york on this 100th day of the trump administration. thousands of people from coast to coast are protesting the policies on climate change. less than a mile from the white house, the president will be at the white house much longer today. he's heading to pennsylvania about two hours from now, from what he's t ouchouting as a bigy on the same night as the white house correspondents' dinner. it's an event that will not go without the current president. we have this covered from angle to angle with reports at the capitol mall and the white house and where the rally kicks off later this evening. we begin today with today's climate change marches. the goal is to address issues such as climate change, jobs and new clean energy policies. joining me is anthony turrel.

what do you see on the ground there? >> reporter: hi, yasmin. this has been back-to-back marches. i've asked around, what's the difference between these two marches. they want to focus on the climate and environment. last week it was more about raising awareness and today is more about actions. you're seeing more political coalitions and organizations here today. and speaking of both of these marches, i have a family here that attended both. i have marilese here. what is the difference between the march last weekend and the one today? >> at the march for science, we stood in support for science and here at the climate march, we're demanding action from our elected officials. >> what can this 6 1/2-year-old learn from being here? what was the point of bringing him to these events? >> this is the planet that young people are inheriting and we

want it to be clean and safe and he can learn that we care about the planet that young people are inheriting and he can learn how to take action and have his thoughts and concerns heard. >> reporter: jacob, you're hearing what? have you had fun here today? >> yeah. >> you've been to a couple of marches, haven't you? >> yeah. >> with mom and dad? and speaking of recycling, the family has recycled these posters from last weekend. so they're putting it to practice what they preach. yasmin? >> they are starting them early. anthony terrell, thank you. the administration's 100th day is finally here. though he's railed against it, dismissing the idea of measuring

his first 100 days in office as a ridiculous standard, he's singing a different tune today in his weekly address. take a listen. he posted, "mainstream fake media refuses to state our long list of achievements, including 28 legislative signings, strong borders and great optimism. here's what the president had to say when pressed on the lack of major legislative accomplishments so far. >> i was with a reporter the other day who said the same thing. you didn't pass anything. i said, no, we've passed 28. tomorrow it could be 32. these are bills passed by the legislature. i'm not talking about executive orders which are, frankly, equally important. >> just six have a substantive impact. the mere majority 13 focusing on the undoing of obama regulations. even the president admits the job is not exactly a walk in a

park. >> reporter: this is more work. i thought it would be easier. >> joining us is kelly o'donnell. there's been a mad dash to get points on the board. it's here. he's not stopping today. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, they certainly did want to have some signature legislative achievements. the president points out he signed 28 bills into law but they have not been the type that were really the sort of themes of his campaign when we're talking about repealing health care, for example. they hope to have that done over the next period of weeks but house speaker ryan says no vote until they know they will pass it. so today the president will head to harrisburg, pennsylvania. he will sign his 30th executive order. this one will ask for a study of all trade agreements the united states has with other countries around the world. that is a central theme of the president's campaign and his

agenda is to try to improve by adjusting trade agreements or withdrawing from some like the tra transpacific partnership. there has been force of executive powers, those executive orders and so forth and certainly from outlining where he wants to go. that's where you'd put tax reform and tax cuts, which they unveiled just some bullet points this week, months if not more than a year from any real legislation on that. it will be debated for a long time to come and he'll tap into the energy of his supporters by going to "hardball" tonight. expect him to talk about his victory, about this first 100 days, 15 weeks in office and what's left to come. the white house has put out a video emphasizing all of the positives, none of the setbacks of this early administration like the travel immigration ban that has been tied up in the courts and the president's focused on things like the

supreme court justice neil gorsuch who is now on the court and some of the things that they think are a part of what will be the trump presidency, including new relationships with world leaders, particularly china's president xi. so they're trying to find their own way to sort of give and assess and package these first 100 days that they thinks reflect what they tried to do in a positive way. critics, of course, are saying he hasn't done enough. more to come. >> along with that, all eyes on pennsylvania in that rally this evening. kelly o'donnell for us, thank you. in two hours, president trump rings in his 100th day with this statement, "looking forward to rally and big crowd and big knowled energy." president trump laid out his ten-point plan for his first 100

days just six months ago. i can't believe that was only six months ago. how are people there grading the president today? >> reporter: they are giving him high marks. as you might expect, we have a crowd of thousands. i'll get out of the way so you can look and see. it goes on and on and on and we expect 10,000 people to show up. everybody i talk to say they give them an a or b or b plus. even though health care has seemed to stall, even though the travel ban is tied up in the courts, they don't blame president trump but the courts or congress. tell me how you grade president trump and why. >> i would grade him at 100%, a-plus all across the board. he's done everything he promised he would on the campaign. i give him an a-plus. >> reporter: you're not too disappointed, for example, that there's no construction on the wall or no health care bill or travel ban in place? >> well, i'm not disappointed

because i know that the funding is there and the passion is there. however, we're obviously battling with congress as well as liberal leaders. obama's friends, people that are working with him, i'm not disappointed. i believe the wall will get built and the funding it there. we just need to continue to rally behind our president and fight the good fight. what has been the best? >> i would say illegal immigration. we're getting bad of the bad hombres. in the first year, that's going to save taxpayers about 1$150 billion in the first year. we're well on our way. >> what do you make of the investigation by the fbi and the cia between the trump campaign

and russia? >> i don't believe it's an issue. and i believe it's a distraction mechanism and it's to distract them and cast doubt in their mind and i believe it's all lies. it's not true. i believe in the integrity and hon necessity of the trump administration. >> you know i always have a question for -- >> go ahead. >> is there anything that he does not agree with what president trump has done in the past 100 days, like maybe he shouldn't have done that? >> reporter: the question from the a anchor is, is there anything that trump has done that you don't agree with? >> no, absolutely not. there are some things i'd be

concerned about but i trust his judgment 100%. >> reporter: yasmin, there you have it. thank you, kevin. enjoy the rally. >> thanks so much. i want to take a look at the hurdles that the president faces as he looks to his next 100 days. i'm joined by danielle. when the president says he thought the job would be easier, this is the job of the president, of course, did that answer sort of send shock waves throughout d.c.? >> i think people know that when a new president comes in, they all realize that the job is harder to do and every president has a elevening curve but it's much steeper than most presidents. and i think trump thought that in business you make a deal, there's a profit motive and in washington there's so many different competing interests that it makes it much harder for

him to transfer his business skills and we have so many different players and different agendas. >> how is the administration trying to defend the 100 days without a major win like health care? >> well, they're focusing on executive orders, executive orders, executive orders. but i will caveat that that two of his major ones on immigration, trying to ban sanctuary cities, essentially, and travel ban are held up in the courts. the other thing that they're really, really pitching is unrolling obama era regulations. that's absolutely true. they've undone a dozen, like 13 now, everything from guns to public lands looking at but the problem with that is there's a time limit on how they can unroll obama regulations. they can only use this specific kind of rule to get over a democratic filibuster. so they are touting stuff that

has a lot of caveats to it. >> danielle, while the job is much harder than he thought it was going to be, he says it's been the most successful in our country's history. do people believe that? >> i don't think they buy it on capitol hill one bit because republican leaders on capitol hill, they know that this first 100 days has been so tough for them to get anything passed. they thought if there was any other president, they would have repealed obamacare and launched in tax reform but the challenges at the trump administration is facing getting those things through reflect the inner war in the white house. there's kind of a divide between the bannon wing and kushner wing. if y how can you get congress to get on board with an agenda that changes every day? remember last week, a few days ago, there was news released.

a few hours later, you see this again and again. is that sort of going to be his major sticking point? >> either that or health care, he needs a win and needs one now and it needs to be legislatively, without caveat, it needs to get done through congress. ideally, i think for him if he could tout something that democrats were on board with as well, that would be great for the administration and there's this divide among republicans not only in the west wing and he needs a legislative win right now and bridging the divide,

it's the overarching theme. looking ahead, can he actually do that? that's the major question. amber phillips and daniel lipman, thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. now that he's president trump, does he appear to be keeping that promise? you're going to hear from a retired coal miner about what he's done for miners, next. ♪"all you need is love" plays my friends know me so well. they can tell what i'm thinking, just by looking in my eyes. they can tell when i'm really excited and thrilled. and they know when i'm not so excited and thrilled. but what they didn't know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. but i knew. so i finally decided to show my eyes some love. some eyelove. when is it chronic dry eye? to find out more, chat with your eye doctor and go to myeyelove.com. it's all about eyelove, my friends. hey team, i know we're tight on time, but i really need a... ...sick day tomorrow. moms don't take sick days. moms take nyquil severe: the...

more than 20,000 retired coal miners are set to lose their pension and health benefits this weekend. and this is all happening as miners wait for congress to pass a spending bill which would allow them and their widows to receive long-term extensions to their health care plans but time is running out. president trump promised coal miners across the u.s. that he would bring back jobs and bring

miners to the white house when he signed a bill undoing the obama administration's base. democrats disagree with the president. who is left in the cross-fire? coal miners are. this man spent half his life in the coal mines and losing his benefits would be devastating. thank you for joining me. >> thank you. >> you suffer from black lung which is what most miners get due to long-term exposure to coal dust. long term health care is incredibly important to you. do you believe president obama is fulfilling his promises? >> you know, president trump, i'd like to see him at his rally and say he supports the miners protection act. we're very close to getting our health care taken care of but if he will come out and say that, it would push it over the top in

congress. >> david, do you have confidence so far? in the last 100 days you've been watching president trump. do you have confidence that he's fulfilling the things that he said he would do, bring back jobs to coal miners, that he would help with health care? >> in 100 days in office, president trump's relived regulations with the epa but that's helped the coal companies. now it's up to the coal companies to hire laid off miners and to open new mines and create employment in the area. >> you know, he said on the campaign trail that he loved miners and that he was going to bring back jobs to the industry. i want you to listen to what he said and then i'll have you react. >> the miners told me about the attacks on their lives and livelihoods. their communities and very way of life. i made them this promise. we will put our miners back to

work. >> so he's addressing you there, he's addressing your former colleague there and you want to hear him address miners directly today at his campaign rally. what do you make of what he said there? >> you know what, as of right now, we still have a panel that are laid off but 100 days isn't very long. i mean, i hope and pray that what he does with the regulations will lead to the coal companies hiring more miners. but right now there's over 20,000 of us that will lose our health care and -- at the end of the week and then our pensions in the future and when he made that promise, he made the promise to take care of miners and to get that legislation passed, that would be taken care of miners. >> david, this isn't the first time we're talking about coal mining, right? you've been part of the

presidential campaign for i don't know how long but for quite a long time. >> right. i have. >> what's it like to be sitting there talking about you, bring your jobs back or take them away, give you health care or take them away? what's it like to be part of the rhetoric and conversation when it comes to presidential campaigns? >> you know, it's tough. i mean, there's 20 to 30 times a day that i think about what if i lose my health care? i'm lucky to have the wife that i do that's my rock. she's my optimist that tells me everything is going to be okay. but we have members out there, when they were going to take our health care, they sent out a letter that goes to these people and we have people in our 80s and late 70s, early 80s and they get these letters and lead to

stress-related conditions. some have had heart attacks over this. it's time to get this done once in for all. have president trump come out, tell congress, i promised it, it's the right thing to do. >> it's certainly important to have that rock and optimist in your life. i'm sure you're thankful for your wife. thank you for joining us, david. >> thank you. when we come back, the french must chose between two different candidates. the details of all of this is next. you don't want to miss it. liberty mutual stood with me

election between president donald trump and hillary clinton. le pen has been tough on illegal immigration, wants to pull france out of the eu and nato and getting support for blue collar workers. macron wants to increase defense spending to fight against isis. macron is in the lead but this are concerns that russia could be meddling to swing the votes in le pen's favor. this election is sounding like de ja vu. joining me is josh low. it's good to talk to you. president trump has yet to make a formal endorsement. he had something to say about le pen. he said, she is the strongest on borders and the strongest on what is going on in france. whoever is the toughest on radical islamic terrorism and whoever is the toughest at the borders will do well on the election. where is the public leaning right now? >> well, so just over a week out

from this really momentous election, it does look like macron is well in the lead. he's about 19 points ahead of marine le pen and 59% to her 41. the winner has to get over 50. that said, just a week ago, macron was 25 points ahead. so it is still just about and some power levels, marine le pen, a hard-right populist tough on immigration, we've seen donald trump upsetting with his victory. >> marine le pen, her father there being is controversial leader which is important to mention as well. hillary clinton was ahead of donald trump and then we know who actually won that election. i want to bring up an interesting fact that a lot of people aren't talking about.

macron and his wicfe, she is actually 24 years his senior. >> yes. this has been a big aspect of the french media coverage of the election and now increasingly the international coverage. it humanizes him. one of his concerns is that he can seem a little bit cold, a little bit clinical, sort of managerial. he's the sort of centrist candidate, a former banker. i guess this kind of heartwarming love story about how when he was a young man in her class, they wrote a play together and gradually wooed her, she eventually left her husband for him. to be honest, he's probably not unhappy with the fact that it's become a bit of an issue. >> donald trump and melania trump have a similar age difference. josh lowe, thank you for joining us. it was 25 years ago that the city of los angeles exploded in violence and chaos.

widespread rioting claimed the lives after a jury acquitted four police officers in the beating of rodney king. this back a flash point against police brutality. they plan to mark the event for many who live in the area, memories of the violence still very fresh. >> it was defldinitely surreal. we had no idea what was going on. it felt like a bomb exploded. it was absolute chaos. >> msnbc's richard lui will have a report tomorrow right here on msnbc. all right. a live look at the national mall in washington, d.c., where thousands of people have gathered for a march against the trump administration's climate change policies. it's just one of dozens of marches taking place on this 100th day of the trump presidency. much more on the day's events when we come back.

welcome back. i'm yasmin yousafzai reporting from the new york headquarters in new york. president trump heads to harrisburg for a big rally on his 100th day in office. in d.c., thousands are marching for the people's climate march in opposition to president trump's policies on climate change. and the white house correspondents' dinner is tonight. it will host politicians and celebrities. everyone will be there except the man of the hour, president trump. and the president on the defensive after an investigation into his former national security adviser michael flynn and whether he illegally accepted payments from foreign governments. take a listen. >> i do feel badly for him. he served the country and was a general. just remember, he was approved by the obama administration at the highest level. and democrats are fighting back

with chuck schumer saying on friday that investigations like this are far from over. >> if the trump campaign k colluded. >> the russia investigation further as msnbc contributor and former ambassador to the russian federation to michael mcfaul. thank you for joining me. >> sure. >> this investigation, it has plagued this administration from the get-go. the last 100 days. we've talked about it every day. can anything ever get accomplished so long as this is looming over their heads? >> well, you know, yes. the answer is yes. i think it's going to be looming over their heads for months if not years. we're just at the beginning of

this investigation, in my opinion. there are so many questions we don't have the answers to. and even on simple answers about security clearances and vetting, as you just reported, there's a lot of discrepancy about what the trump transition did, what they didn't do, what mr. flynn recorded, what he didn't record. and, you know, i just think we need to know the facts before we move forward. >> in regards to russian president vladimir putin and russia in general meddling in u.s. elections, how is this scenario playing out if russia were to say, this is what we want to have happen. do you think this is where they went? >> they published that data to influence the outcome of our elections. that's without question i don't think there's any debate about that. what we don't know, of course,

is whether they thought it would have this kind of intention, this intentional effect and a lingering effect about russian meddling and the trump administration's collusion. my guess is that they didn't predict that. they certainly don't like it and think it's getting in the way of them receiving the concessions that they thought they were going to get after president trump was elected. remember, they had hoped that they were going to get sanctions lifted. they had hoped that we were going to pull away from nato and then in their dream of dreams, president putin hoped that trump would come through on what he alluded to on looking into crimea being part of russia. none of that has happened so they're not getting the return on the investment i think that they had hoped for six or seven months ago. >> a lot of people are wondering why the white house isn't being more cooperative. also, when it comes to michael flynn, national security adviser. maryland congressman, elijah

cummings, asking what a lot of people are thinking. >> i honestly do not understand why the white house is covering up for michael flynn. i don't get it. after the president fired him for lying. >> they should be bending over backwards to help us. it does not make any sense and it makes the american people think the white house has something to hide. >> what is your reaction to that, ambassador? >> i agree. i think it's very odd. the clip you just played before of president trump, let's be clear, you get a security clearance when you're in the government. i've been in the government. and even when you stay in the government, when i switch from working for the national security council to becoming an b ambassador for russia, he was under review during the transition for the security clearances that he needed to become the national security adviser and for president trump to somehow blame the obama

administration for that, that's very strange. i don't understand why he feels especially at this late of date the end of april that he feels it's necessary to continue to protect general flynn. he fired him for a reason. he should just cut loose and let us know the facts and it would be better for his own administration if he did that. >> a lot of people echoing what you're saying, really wondering why. ambassador michael mcfaul, thank you. a democrat and member of the important house oversight committee, congressman, thank you for joining us. speaking of the russia investigation -- >> my pleasure, yasmin. >> good to talk to you. what is the next step in these investigations going forward? >> well, i want to say, i totally agree with ambassador mcfaul. we need to get the facts of the matter. you know, broadly speaking, we're looking at lieutenant

general michael flynn having possibly violated the emoluments clause and more importantly having misled and lied to people and maybe under oath about it. i know of at least four investigations ongoing right now about that. house intelligence committees and inspector general of the dia and also our committee, the oversight and government reform committee and elijah cummings is right. it makes no sense. it's not even logical that the white house is pushing back against joining us in this investigation since president trump rightly discharged general flynn as the national security adviser after only 24 days of service. the shortest tenure of an nsa

adviser in the existence of the position. >> what do you think is going on there? >> i can only speculate. my speculation is that their sensitive about russia. you know, a lot of people have level charges about russia invading our national sovereignty, helping president trump get elected. i don't think that's productive in situations like these and i'll tell you why. look, the committee that i'm proud to be a part of is the overnight and government reform committee. it's not just oversight. it's not just hearings. it's also government reform. hearings with a purpose, to make the government work better. look, jasmine, we're going to have democrat presidents and republican presidents. and all of them when they come in, they have new top officials that have to be vetted. but what is the vetting process? are there standards? are there ways that we can

tighten this up? we had a national security adviser who may have been subject, may have been vulnerable to blackmail by the russian federation. we can't let that kind of thing happen. wherever the blame may fall, let's get to the facts of the matter, figure it out and institute policies and vetting systems so this kind of thing doesn't happen again. >> we're only 100 days in. we're going to have to see how this unfolds. looking at the investigation moving forward, congressman matt cartwright, thanks for your time. from the courthouse, why the actions on immigration are counting on courts to back them up and whether that strategy could backfire. also, across the country from coast-to-coast today, we're monitoring thousands as they march for climate change.

i'm richard lcui. north korea had another missile test. how will the white house react to this latest provocative move? hundreds of thousands of washington marching on day two of the trump administration. is the current commander in chief inspiring more women to run for office themselves? and white house correspondents' dinner taking place just hours from now. join me at the top of the hour. for now, let's turn back to my colleague, yasmin yousafzai. >> thank you, richard. during his campaign, donald trump made battling illegal immigration a forefront of his election. he promises to build a wall and make mexico pay for it. >> build the wall, build the wall, build the wall. >> in late january, he rolled out a travel ban preventing

people from seven predominantly muslim countries and blocked by the courts he tried again in march with a revised order but that, too, was blocked. this week the president faced another illegal defeat that would have blocked federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities that offer safe harbor to undocumented immigrants. joining me now to discuss all of this and the president's ongoing immigration battle is the organizing director of nevada, astra silva and raul reyes. i got the name right, right, raul? >> yes. >> he wants to break up the ninth district court tweeting this. "it has a terrible record of being overturned close to 80%." does the president even have the power to break up? >> in legal terms, no. this is one of the most con founding things about this administration, is their -- it seems that our president does not have a full understanding of

the separation of powers and the role of an independent ju din r judiciary. he's very angry about this ruling from the judge and this judge, although he sits within the jurisdiction of the ninth circuit, he is not exactly on the ninth circuit. he's one level below the ninth circuit court of appeals that ruled against his travel ban. it's not even the same thing that he's talking about. i think part of the big problem for the trump administration is that it doesn't seem like they put enough preparation into some of these executive orders that they're issuing and so the tremendous road block they are seeing in the court and i can understand from a policy viewpoint why it's troubling for them but with this public push back, it's not what the american public wants. >> attorney general jeff sessions was in long island addressing gang violence and made these comments. let's take a listen. >> one of the things you want to do in immigration policy is it should serve the national interests and the first thing

you should do is not admit people who want to come to your country to commit crimes, particularly violent crimes and murder. >> so this is the big question, right, astrid, it's kind of where you sit on the aisle but the president's immigration orders, do they serve the national interests here? >> you know, to me i think what's happening with these orders is when you talk to people on the street, not only will you talk to politicians but people out in the normal world, when you talk to people, they are afraid right now. people are afraid to report crimes. this is one of the lowest numbers where people are reporting domestic violence crimes because they are afraid of it. i don't know about anybody else's national security but i want people to feel safe enough that they can contact our local law enforcement and so that they can protected as well and it makes our community safer overall. >> raul, part of the president's immigration policy, the president asserting that illegal immigration is down due to what his administration has said. >> uh-huh. >> and done. let's listen to that and then have you react.

>> we've already seen a 73% decrease. never happened before. in illegal immigration on the southern border since my election. 73%. >> you think the president's policies are having an impact on illegal immigration there? and for what reason? >> i think his administration policies could be having some impact on illegal arrivals on the southern borders. however, those arrivals, those trends are really things that we have to look at long term. they do tend to drop this time of year anyway. so there could be some impact. i think it's too soon to say. it's a fact. however, what is clear, when we step back and look at the impact that this administration is having, his policies are blocked in the courts. congress doesn't want to pay for the wall but where we are seeing the impact is immigration enforcement. immigration enforcement arrests are up 33% this year. last year it was about 16,000 between january and february.

this year, we're at 21,000. those numbers are significant, not just because of the jump but because those numbers are fueled by arrests of noncriminals. and this is based on informatio. remember back in february there were these nationwide raids going on it was called operation cross creek, about 700 people were arrested. the largest category of people who were arrested by i.c.e. on definition were non-criminal. so it's affecting people on the ground but not really the type of people that the administration says it's affecting. it's not necessarily going after cartel people involved in drug cartels or dealers or gangs, it's affecting regular folks, dreamers, mom and dads. mormon family, mother of four, all sorts of people around the country are feeling the impact of these hardline immigration policies. >> astrid, how do you feel that the immigration policies are impacting the people the most on the ground there? some personal stories you've seen. >> for me, you know, i think it's what raul is saying that people are now afraid that even though they've never convicted a

crime, a lot of people i.c.e. rounded up didn't even have traffic convictions. this is how people are being targeted. and not only does it spread fear because it's people that have been trying here, have been working here, have roots in this country, now it is grandmas, grandpas, it's people that are just trying to live their lives. this is what's scary right now in our communities. in our communities people are afraid to take their kids to school. people are afraid to go to the doctor. people are just afraid. i have never seen a terror like this in my community. but i've also seen a lot of hope from my community because people are banding together. people are having informational forums and giving people rides if they don't have licenses because the smallest thing right now could mean destroying an entire family. that's not what the united states is about. i thought our country was about being the land of the free, home of the brave for everybody. and so our community's definitely feeling this, but i think our community's also being very resilient and informing themselves as to what their rights are. >> you want ten seconds. >> right.

meanwhile, i think the biggest takeaway from all this, as this all is going on polls consistently show that the american people still want more than ever a path to legalization citizenship, 87% of republicans want the path to citizenship for the undocumented andover all among the public it's 90%. so that's happening on the other side of the trump administration hashdline immigration actions. >> that was more than ten seconds. >> yes, ma'am. >> all right. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. >> everybody, a live look at oakland, the site of one of the dozens of climate change marches taking place today. part of a very busy saturday across the country. much more on those marches and president trump's big rally in pennsylvania ahead in our next hour. stay with us. la quinta presents "how to win at business." step one: point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours. step two: choose la quinta. the only hotel where you can redeem loyalty points for a free night-instantly and win at business.

if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's medication isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach.
