was pretending to em bbody and e second he goes away from that, he'll go for them. >> thank you both. >> yeah. >> thank you both for being with me tonight. before we go, a reminder tomorrow the phenomenal joy reid and i are hosting, 60,000 people. some form of action. we'll go to central park and see performances by stevie wonder and many, many more. you can watch it exclusively at 3:00 p.m. eastern. that is "all in" for this evening. >> thanks to you. big news today. obviously. we had thought that next week would be the moment of truth where we would find out if republicans would be able to repeal the affordable care act. brookings estimates that would result in 21 million americans being thrown off their health insurance. so we thought we would learn about that, whether they were able to do it next week.

instead of waiting until next week for their planned vote, though, the decisive moment may have happened today. this afternoon when arizona senator john mccain put out this statement explaining why he will not vote for this plan. three republican no votes is enough to kill this thing. senator land paul was number one, no vote. he says he's a definite no. susan collins says she leans no. there is also additionally a lot of wondering going on around the potential vote of lisa mbut if mccain is out, it looks very much like this thing may be dead or almost dead. republicans do still have a few more days. they have another week ultimately to try to cook something else up but it does not look good for them. we'll have more on that big news ahead tonight including what i think led to this latest failure by the republicans. here is another piece of news, though, that arousal

unexpectedly today. starting this afternoon individual states started putting out out of the blue statements about whether or not their election infrastructure and voter rules had been hacked during the election by the russians. all these different states just started one by one making decoloration,s as to whether or not that happened to them this past year. we really didn't know what to make of it and started to see statements coming in and didn't know why this was happening today until god bless wisconsin, the wisconsin statement finally explained what else was going on with the states. the wisconsin statement said in part, quote, wisconsin is one of 21 states whose chief election officials were notified by the department of homeland security their systems were targeted by russians. the department did not disclose which other states were notified but said the states were free to disclose the information. and then some of them did. not all of them did but some of them. we didn't know what was

happening when this started to happen but basically we figured out homeland security knew at least by june that 21 states had been targeted by russian hackers during the election. they knew that. they announced they knew that in june. they didn't actually tell those 21 states that it was them until today. why did it take this long? and now that the states know, not all of the states are telling us the public about what happened. npr and associated press cottoned to what was going on this afternoon tried to round up what we now know according to their monitoring of the various statements coming out from the various states today, it looks like of the states that have finally been told by homeland security they got targeted by the russians, it looks like these states made the information public today. we posted this kind of in clip and save form. so when more states say publicly whether the russians hit them, too, we'll add to the list but

so far we got these. alabama, arizona, colorado, illinois, iowa, illinois, oklahoma, oregon, pennsylvania, virginia and wisconsin. they all have now put out a statement saying that homeland security has notified them about russian efforts to target their election infrastructure during the election last year. again, we have no idea why the homeland security department didn't notify these states before today since they have known at least since june which states were attacked. but sure, why not wait until mid september? what the heck? how about a friday afternoon? probably an excellent time to submarine that news, especially by just letting it drib and drab out rather than making any actual government announcement about this. so as i say, it been a weird news day. president trump is in alabama right now where he is campaigning for one of the candidates in a republican senate primary. he's not campaigning for the

republican candidate in a general election. he's campaigning in the republican primary, which is not the sort of thing presidents typically do for their party but that kind of day. we learned really interesting new information what's become of the giant slush fund of tens of millions of dollars that is apparently floating around inside the trump administration unaccounted for since the inauguration. we had some sort of stunning reporting on that inauguration fund last night on the show and we will share with you tonight what else we learned. which will probably make you laugh out loud. but the biggest news in america right now, undoubtedly, is something unfolding. 1,000 miles southeast of miami, florida. you know the name levett town. they started selling homes in 1947 right after world war ii. a few years later there was levette town pennsylvania and

one in new jersey that dropped to the name levettown and these white only suburban developments were created by william levet. the whole idea, whether you see it from the street level or arial view, iconic sprawling highly planned cookie cat you are matched houses american say bush ya. the northeast suburban version of the segregated american dream. it's interesting. the last place built as levitt was built in 1963 in puerto rico. the last levittown was a dozen miles west of san juan. they advertised few different models of house depending on the size of your family and checkbook. the houses cost between 10 and

$15,000 and because it was puerto rico, it was different than long island or pennsylvania. it was the same american dream fulfilling middle cloass community the state said levittowns were. it remains a suburban middle class enclave. but this was levittown, puerto rico as of yesterday. when they built it on 1963, they drained the marsh and used the drain water to create an artificial lake, levittown lake. on wednesday night in the wake of hurricane maria coming ashore when rivers started to weld and the land got saturated, that artificial lake over flowed massively and even though the worst of the storm had passed by then, the flooding trapping

thousands of residents in levittown rose up after the storm passed. not only had residents there never before been flooded out by a hurricane, they also thought the danger was over before the flooding started because the worst of the storm had passed. even once water reseeded, the question there is now as it is in so many places in puerto rico, the question is how to get help and supplies while streets remain impassable with phone service out everywhere. gabe gutierrez was west of the town today. >> it's devastating because you lose everything. you lose everything. you have to start from zero. >> reporter: 30 miles west of san juan, crystal is desperate. the water flooded her entire first floor and she says the local shelter has run out of food. >> we need gas, food, i don't know. someone to help us. >> reporter: the town's mayor says at least eight people

drowned here and authorities rescued 4 to 5,000 trapped by flood waters. out working cell phones, he's coordinating with rescue crews from florida and virginia virginia by word of mouth. new video released by the u.s. coast guard shows a woman and two children being hoisted to safety after they were stranded on a capsized boat off the coast. rosa rode out the storm in old san juan wild a building in this historic neighborhood crumbled next to her. >> and i said to myself and to my son, we have to leave the house. this is going to collapse. >> reporter: for many in puerto rico, more help can't come soon enough. >> gabe gutierrez reporting there tonight. that was the mayor of san juan puerto rico going house to house by boat. the mayor himself -- herself checking on residents calling out to see if people are there. that's san juan today. but on the northwestern part of

the island right now, 70,000 people are currently being evacuated as fast as possible tonight because of a danger that a dam there is about to collapse. this is the guajataca dam. it was failing. 70,000 people live down stream of that dam. the national weather service in san juan sent out these urgent messages after they said the dam begun to fisher. flash flood emergency for a dam failure, that was followed very shortly thereafter by this dam operators report that guajataca dam is failing. then followed by this. this is an extremely dangerous situation. buses are currently evacuating as quickly as they can followed by all areas surrounding the guajataca river should evacuate now. lives in danger.

these all caps warning couldn't have been more clear this afternoon but raised the question how are people supported to get the message with power down and almost no phone service or internet service. how are people supposed to get these warnings? very hard to reach people with an urgent evacuation message. because of that necessity, the worry that the man made lake held back by the dam is going to come all down this dam all at once. in the words of puerto rico secretary of state today, officials went back to basics to try to get people out of the way of that failing dam. today they just started using sirens and bull horns. they flew over endangered areas down that river. fl flew over the river area with loud speakers urging people to get out. we'll speak with the secretary of state live in a moment for the latest news on that. but all over puerto rico, people are facing unprecedented and terrifying conditions tonight right now as i speak. when people get a little internet connection, they are sharing videos like this.

you can see the house is just under water. even where the flood waters receded, power is still out and may remain out for months. power is still out everywhere. 100% of power out on the island. 95% of mobile phone service is out and the truth is we don't know the condition about much of the island particularly interior puerto rico because it's a communications black hole. we do know hundreds of people have been rescued so far from rooftops. the rescues will continue. we expect the death toll to climb. we have reports from deaths from mudslides and landslides and flooding and people being hit by debris. authorities worry we will learn about more more deaths as reports come in. there is an all night curfew in effect until conditions improve. but the island is in darkness. i mean, everybody is in darkness unless they have a generator and got gas today. the storm came ashore on

wednesday. it now friday night. 3.5 million american citizens in an increasingly dire and dangerous situation. joining us is a reporter with the "miami herald" that joins us from puerto rico. thank you for being with us. i realize it's not easy to get communications. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> can you tell me what you've seen and where you have been able to get out to and what's your assessment how bad the damage is and the danger people are in? >> we were in san juan in inlands and ocean side beach towns that got a lot of earlier flooding. this is a slow-moving event. then the west of the island. and really the water has been under. not everyone gets water high enough to have to be rescued from the roof and so they are not paying attention to them. they haven't had any help. that doesn't mean their lives are any less destroyed.

we went to a beach town call ed louisa. they said as you noted, they thought the storm was over after the winds had peeled off their roofs and then came the water. so now many of them are living without roofs and in muddy water and they are going to run out of food and water in a few days unless they get help and every person, you know, three people in a span of 30 minutes asked me in town today if i would return because they thought maybe i was coming to help and i had to say no. they were disappointed. they were not surprised and offered me their cold water bottles, which i thought was -- >> wow. >> stunning given the conditions they are living in. >> what are people able to get in terms of help? are you seeing in terms of official response and relief efforts, either organized by civilians or by the government? >> right now we're only seeing in the towns neighbors helping neighbors. san juan the capital has crews of people removing trees and

picking up debris and soldiers directing traffic. as of today. but inland, the residents told us they have seen no help. they have felt a little hopeful because they seen helicopters fly over the towns. those might have been reporters taking photographs and video but they think people know they are flooded and they hope that help will arrive soon but one grocery store was open today and the owner said he ordered water two weeks ago before hurricane irma. he still hasn't gotten it. he has bread every day at 7:00 a.m. and there is a line out the door and people stand 90 minutes for bread and that the all he's got. that's new. everything else is old stuff that is none parishble. it all cash economy, there is no bank. which is a risk for his business to keep the cash. it's one compounding problem after another. >> sounds like what you're seeing is dire circumstances but what you're talking about is the

brink of despair. >> for some of these folks it really is and they are trying to put a brave face to it but, you know, just because they are not the one whose are getting evacuated in urgent circumstances, doesn't mean they won't be in trouble for a long time. they have no communications. they think some of the waters will take at least a month to reseed based on what they have seen in flooding from previous forms and not easy to get in and out of town and the folks with cars don't have usable cars any more. they don't have to worry about the gas shortage because they don't have a way to get around. >> thank you for helping us understand what you've seen. please keep us apprised and thanks for helping us understand. >> we will. my pleasure. >> thank you. >> joining us is the puerto rico secretary of state. secretary marin joined us as the storm was coming ashore. i asked you to keep us apprised. i'm really glad you're able to be back with us tonight. thank you for your time, sir. >> welcome.

it's important that we keep you updated what is happening in puerto rico and flooding water is the most important challenge. >> can i ask you about the dramatic warnings about the dam on the river and the urgent need to evacuate about 70,000 people down stream from that dam. what's the latest on that situation, sir? >> well, we are doing a suspension and a fly over and right now in the area together with structural engineers and what happens to be an imminent danger as to a structural damage to one of the largest dams. we're currently trying to with the lack of communication for

ground, it's water pressure because of the rain. >> in terms of those 80,000 people, how successful have the evacuation efforts. i know it's difficult. what is the scale of the evacuation thus far? >> it's probably this program we watch to advice people of going and the storm was emphatic and

service to the amount of water followed by rains in excess of 25 inches and with rescue from close to 2,300 people already and search and rescue efforts tonight. but the issue with the dam is one that it's very, very delicate one and as we speak, we are working with the communities to make sure we don't lose any more lives. it's been six casualties up to date and we want to keep that number, we don't want to increase because of maria. >> mr. secretary, we spoke with a reporter a moment ago and heard from reporters today as well that it seems like in interior puerto rico, in the interior of the island, people have not had any help, that there have been rescue efforts off rooftops but haven't been

supplies. people haven't been getting and people in the interior of the island just neighbors thus far. is that true and do you expect that to improve soon. >> you know, policies and majors and the emergency management search and rescue in touch with them and at 11:00 a.m. i'll be in a meeting with all mayors making sure that supplies, something like telephones, any aid as to first aid as to any equipment that might be admitted. we are making sure puerto rican

against proper attention and power is an issue and irma and complaints about the power returning, we were 90% in terms of getting up again and energy and waters coming back and we'll make sure. it will be a tough recovery but we're resilient ready to get up and make sure every puerto rican gets taken care of. >> luis marin. please do keep us apprised in the days ahead. >> thank you. any donations the first lady set up an account at united for puerto rico.com. thank you. >> thank you. again, we're keeping an eye

on that dam, one of the largest dams in puerto rico officials say is failing. 80,000 people live down stream from that dam. it holds back a very large man made lake if the dam gives way, all of the water of that lake will be added to the down stream flooding that is already afflicting that area. those evacuations are underway. tens of thousands of people, this is a very serious situation tonight in puerto rico. stay with us. when it comes to heartburn trust the brand doctors trust for themselves.

supposed to vote on the first kill obamacare bill, they realized they didn't have enough votes to pass it so they pulled it. that one in march. that was the first one. then they tried again in may. this time the house did pass it but just barely squeaked through by four votes which is a real squeaker given the republicans have almost a 50-seat majority in the house. after that squeaker they had the goofy celebration with the incredible rich diversity of white men in suits celebrating that they got their health care bill one-third of the way through the legislative process. but despite the fiesta, that bill never made it to the president's desk because the republican controlled senate took one look at it and chunked it in the garbage. then it was time to try again. next go around was in june. the republican controlled senate wrote their own bill to kill obamacare and that promptly went bust. that didn't have enough support

to entertain the idea of even trying to bring it to the floor. so then they scrapped it and came up with another one in july. this time what they called a straight repeal of the affordable care act and got that to the floor of the senate but then dramatic late night death. john mccain made his dramatic entrance and took the pregnant pause and gave his big thumbs down. okay. very exciting. for seven years, republicans have been saying they need to be in control of washington so they can kill obamacare. it's the one thing they have all insisted they would instantly do as soon as they got the reigns of power but failed over and over and over again at trying to do it. since the inauguration, republicans held the white house and senate and a large majority in the house but they have passed zero significant legislation of any kind. really they have not passed a single major bill.

not one. and i think that's in part because they assumed they just passed this health care thingss would be the low hanging fruit and everything else they figured out after. this low hanging fruit isn't getting picked and bonking them on the head instead and that's because well, this was front range, colorado today. hundreds of people pouring into the streets of denver against the republican health care bill and health care is a human right, fight, fight, fight. members of the local adapt chapter, the disability rights activists that are so loud about this. in deep red texas, these guys stood on the busy highway overpass today with the sign if you squint you can read it. repeal and replace senator ted cruz. keeping his support for repealing and replacing obamacare. we're told that sign was met by a healthy dose of supportive

honking from passing cars. in virginia, congressman bob turned 65 today. eligible for medicare. his constituents threw him a party to ask him and not cut americans off their health insurance. they brought and clown and paraded cupcakes and balloons into his office for a happy birthday celebration and ended up dote nanating to a local hos and kansas city missouri, the senator jerry moran's consit wa -- constituents talked about it and staffer took notes on what they said. honestly, the best and sharpest reason why republicans haven't been able to do the one thing they said for sure they would do, the best and sharpest reason eye obamacare, the affordable care act hasn't been killed yet is that people like this mom decided they would change their own lives around to try relentlessly to save it.

>> i've been here before to talk about his health care and his needs and i'm not sure why in this country we're asking mothers to justify why it is important to keep their children alive. why do i have to keep coming here to ask senator marin to protect my son's health and life. it's, you know, having a child with a disability is stressful enough. it hard enough but we push on and live our lives like anybody else. we -- he goes to school. we're out and about and everywhere in our community. we're proud of him and we have -- i have -- i have no regrets about his life and who he is. but what makes that possible is health care. what makes that possible is medicaid. and the cuts in this bill will devastate us and families around this country. >> that kind of personal local

being there showing up is a big part of why republicans failed over and over and over again to erase obamacare because that's what their staffer haves been listing to at every event they do. that's what their constituents tell them every time they show their face and the beltway doesn't report on it that way but you can see it around the country over and over and over again. all right. you know, what is different about this new republican effort to kill obamacare is this one comes with a deadline under senate rules, the republicans basically have to pass this by next saturday if they are going to. the prospect of that is hanging by a thread with the news today that john mccain says he'll vote no. republicans can only afford to lose two no votes right now hunting john mccain they got two definite no votes from land paul and john mccain. susan collins says she's leaning no and lisa me rrk erkmurkowski.

we know what this looks like. we've seen them lose before and we know why. but they have got a few more days to try to pull this off. watch this space. dynamic performance, track tuned handling, and aggressive styling. the bold lexus is. lease the 2017 is turbo for $299 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

at the end of may 2006 made their way to a port city off the black sea mainly known as a resort city with a population of 85,000 people. the marines headed there to lay the groundwork for a large nato ukraine military exercise that was due to take place that july. it was called sea breeze. it involved more than a dozen countries. ukraine is not part of nato but this is nato countries and the ukrainian military doing a joint exercise together. the marines touched down at dawn on may 27th and what they were planning to do there was create facilities that could be used during the exercise. they were planning on doing some goodwill stuff like building playgrounds and working on sports facilities and schools for the local population. they were there to get stuff ready to build stuff and to make nice with the locals. that's why they did not expect the welcome that they got. here is how lieutenant colonel

tom doman describes what they walked into. we had rocks thrown at us, rocks hit marines. buses rocked back and forth. we were trying to get to the base. they were attacked by ultimately thousands of angry protesters and what everybody thought was the sleepy resort city in crimea in ukraine. the marines ultimately were unable to move. they did get to where they could sort of hunker down but they couldn't get to their supplies. they couldn't get to their base. they couldn't get to their supply ship that had their stuff at the town's port. they were stuck and hunkered down dealing with gigantic protests against them. a commanding officer says that some of the protesters brand di ished ukrainian cook tails, molltive cocktails, plastic bottles filled with diesel fuel. the marines laid low for two weeks where they could and then

they basically snuck out. in the dead of night, they snuck out and boarded a jet and flew home. they did not complete the mission. they ended up cancelling the entire military exercise. the entire exercise they called it off. it was quite an international incident. president george w. bush ended up cancelling his planned trip to ukraine later that month. that happened in 2006. we now know that those protests that were meant to threaten the u.s. marines, these anti nato, anti american protests, they were reportedly orchestrated by the prorussia political party in ukraine which is called the party of regions. if that name party of regions sounds at all familiar, it because the party of regions we now know was reportedly paying former trump campaign chairman paul manafort millions of dollars by then to advice them on political strategy. according to adam wine stein,

officials and diplomats i've spoken to are convinced paul manafort knew about and possibly helped plan the anti american protests that resulted in the attacks on those u.s. marines. that was 2006. paul manafort being paid millions of dollars by anti american interests to work against american interests. in doing so very effectively. new disturbing reports that he is at it again. that's next. next time, i want you on my bowling team.

this week a bombshell, paul manafort accepted a new job working on the curds referendum for independence in iraq. the kurds who have a semi region will vote on monday whether they want to become an independent country. this is something russia has been quite supportive of but something the united states and most of our allies oppose. ever since we went into iraq under the false pretenses of weapons for weapons of mass destruction in 2003, it has been a central part of u.s. policy. it has been the central u.s. policy that the united states is trying to sure up the iraqi government and keep the nation of iraq in tact under a single national government. one country governed by one

government. but we learned this week that around the same time the fbi conducted that no knock predawn raid on his house in virginia, paul manafort took on a gig to get paid to help the kurdish independence referendum which must have been particularly fun when rex tillerson met with the iraqi prime minister. how are you, mr. prime minister? let's not talk about the trump campaign chairman that's working to break off a third of your country. the trump campaign chairman working against u.s. interests for money is a new and increasingly present idea in terms of how we understand our world in the trump era. here is one very small weird thing about this new news about him working to break up iraq. this is from "the new york times" story. quote, mr. manafort himself may return to the region for the coming vote. say paul manafort is working

with the cukurds to break up ir. he's going to go there for the vote? he's flying there now? [ laughter ] >> does he have a return ticket? given all the heat that paul manafort is under from the special counsel and with the trump administration going out of it way to distance itself from them and trying to blame him, it looks like he's leaving the country or maybe he already has for the kurdish referendum happening on monday that he is supporting against the foreign policy of the united states. we reached out to mr. manafort's spe spokesman today who said he won't answer questions but said it's perfectly legal to work overseas. he said if mr. manafort's activities require a foreign registration, he will cop pmpil. if he is leaving, are we sure he is coming back? is anybody checking on that? joining us now is adam

winestein. he reported on activities working against u.s. foreign policy in both crimea and e cra -- ukraine and as we're learning more. thank you for being with us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> you reported provocatively and interestingly with a lot of good documentation on paul ma that fort's conditions, u.s. marines coming under attack by angry mobs back in 2006. do you have any sense of why it is that the u.s. officials who spoke to you and the ukrainian officials who spoke to others, why it is that people believe that manafort may have actually been part of the effort that led to those attacks on those marines? >> well, it should be said at this point that beyond what those officials and what those sources have said to us and have reported to other folks in the media, this is a pretty circumstantial case albeit a damming one. we know that manafort was working now in this time frame

for the party of regions and advising them to stoke the flames of russian nationalism in crimea and eastern ukraine where there is a large russian population and shortly after that this stuff went town and those officials, particularly state department officials, this is something you can see in the wikileaks releases of state department cables were highly confident they were responsible for organizing protests to get electoral advantage. so for whatever reason, it just happened to dove tail with manafort's counsel. >> in terms of the accountability, we know about the logan act this never prosecuted law that prohibits american regular civilians priva

private citizens from acting, is there anything else that prohibits people from regular americans from working against u.s. interests or the safety of u.s. service members abroad? >> well, you know, it's subjective and a judgement call. when it comes to direct threats to u.s. military, of course, there is a lot of regulations that cover that and possibly rules of engagement depending where it happens and what the circumstance is. beyond that, there is sort of this territory and has been very a very long time that's been plumed by republicans and democrats of counseling foreign governments or would be foreign governments on their political strategies and the fine line between where that is just merely problematic for money reasons and where that becomes a real problem for u.s. policy. that's a line that's kind of subjective in a lot of places and i think we're going to be asking a lot of those questions about a lot of things that

manafort has done, not just ukraine. >> adam, i know my task and purpose, your mission and i know your personal background gives you some insight into this next thing, is there anger, worry in military circles and among u.s. veterans about the national security implications and the personal dimensions of what he did in terms of whether he was involved in endangering americans? >> those service members i have spoken to and certainly people who are on our staff are concerning and there is general c sort of we're not sure exactly what to make of trump or the people that he surrounds himself with in the rank and file military. they don't need to be concerned with those things day to day just yet stories when they arise

that and for god's sakes, it was james baker. he worked for ronald reagan. he believes in of the united st. and support the troops. and if he can be working for -- you know, we don't even know. whether he's involved in these riots or not, to be in the same room with some of these same people or collecting a check from them, you got to ask yourself, like, where does that guy's loyalties lie? >> adam weinstein, thank you. appreciate your time tonight. stay with us. you can get $3,500 off a hard day's play... $700 off select mud spa packages for two... and up to $1,300 off family packs of venison.

i have been puzzling over a simple, little question. daytime, nighttime, washing dishes, clicking stupid stuff on instagram. one question. at home this weekend and unplug trying to catch a fish still thinking about this one thing. where's all that money going? could the trump presidential inaugural committee which raised what? three times, four times as much money as they needed for the inauguration this year, could that same inaugural committee use the leftovers, use the unaccounted for tens of millions of dollars they have leftover, could they use that to pay for

other stuff now? like, maybe stuff they didn't want to talk about paying for like legal defenses for the russia scandal. i put that question last night to craig holeman. could they pay the legal bills for campaign officials for more administration officials? legally, do you think that's possible that they could do that? >> yes. they can do that. the only rule coming to inaugural funds is that the source of funds has to be disclosed after the inauguration. but how that money gets spent is anyone's guess. no rules, no regulations. it can, quite frankly, it can go into the pocket of donald trump if he chose to do so. >> wow. >> yes. it's a wild west area. >> wild west area. that was what we heard from craig holman last night. and even though i was surprised

enough to respond with just, wow! which you're not supposed to do on tv, it really does appear, no surprise, he's -- he's right. what he said last night is right. it shocked me hearing it but we talked to two different experts on this stuff today who told us, yeah, he is right. told us the same thing. there really is very little law about how an inauguration committee to spend any money left over after the shindigs. i wonder if that's why they raised triple and quadruple money they did. they have to disclose who gave more than $200, how much they gave and they have to report how much they raised overall. we have seen that. that's it. that's the end of the required reporting ever. that's how we know they raised $107 million. what they do with it is the question. after they file that one thing, anything that can be considered to fit with the mission of celebrating the president's victory, anything they want to spend it on, go for it.

no disclosure. saddle up. write checks to lawyers if you want for president or family or anybody else. go ahead. the sheriff is drunk and passed out under a shade tree. do whatever you need to do. spend it! i do have one update to report on this tonight, though. for the record, we still got an overall no comment from the inaugural fund. as to whether or not they -- the inauguration money will be used to pay russia legal fees or has been used to pay russia legal fees and they told us no comment but i can report that vice president mike pence for one is not using inauguration funds to pay for his legal defense. mike pence does have high legal reputation on russ and we don't know how he's paying for the legal representation. his very nice lawyer tells us that the vice president is not using inauguration funds. he also says the vice president is not using trump re-election

campaign money and the vice president is not using money from the rnc and the vice president is not using money from his own pac. but he is somehow paying his lawyer. right? we're checking now to see if anybody mike pence is selling his plasma. or, cleaning out the garage on craigslist? i don't know. we'll keep figuring on it. watch this space. for the first time american kids are slated to live a shorter life span than their parents. it's a problem that we can turn around and change. revolution foods is a company we started to provide access to healthy, affordable, kid-inspired, chef crafted food. we looked at what are the aspects of food that will help set up kids for success? making sure foods are made with high quality ingredients and prepared fresh everyday. our collaboration with citi® has helped us really accelerate the expansion of our business
