>> the white house pushes back against criticism over the federal response in puerto rico after hurricane maria. the last ditch deal to get repeal and re place ' bam a care before october. the president says he wasn't preoccupied with protests during the national anthem and next up on the agenda for congress, tax reform. let's talk about many of you say why aren't you you talking about it we're going to do it right here we have to talk about puerto rico. relieve efforts underway, residents are still without any clean dwringing water. millions remain without power as well.

urging the federal government to speed up relief efforts after the hurricane which hit the island last week. we right now have our top people from fema and they have been there. we are unloading on an hourly basis massive loads of water and food and supplies for puerto rico. and this isn't like florida where we can go right up the spine or like texas where we go right down the middle and attribute. this is the thing called the atlantic ocean. this is tough stuff. the president travels to puerto rico and the u s virgin islands next tuesday. this is a bit of a twist here. the department of homeland security has denied a request from several congressional members to waive shipping restrictions to get supplies to puerto rico. dhs \waive\waveed this rule after hurricane harvey and irma. waiving it for you puerto rico wouldn't help because the ports are damaged and that would prevent the ships from docking. regardless we wish all the bestor

emotional p of puerto rico and the us virgin islands and they're americans too. the gram cassidy will was officially done . senator susan collins came out against the bill yesterday and we knew at that moment it didn't have the support to pass. the gop leader ship killed off. the last thing they want to see is another vote down in the senate senator lindsay gram co-sponsor ed the bill says republicans will fulfill the promise and the president says something will eventually be done on healthcare, eventually. we'll see what happens. you you know, it's going along. at some point there ill will be a repeal and replace, but we'll see whether or not that point is now or whether it will be shortly thereafter. but we are dispoint ed at certain so-called republicans. passing healthcare isn't going to get any easier because the gop was going to get a bill through this week. they only need 50 votes. mike pence comes in,

done. after the end of the month they'll need 60 votes. that's filibuster prove majority . will there be a bipartisan effort, we shall see patty murray of washington and large audience mar alexandria of tennessee who want to try to get something done on a bipartisan basis. will it happen. the death of otto warm beer. we all remember him, the american student who died after being re lease from a north korean prison. north korea torture td and intentionally injured on the on. they described the condition he was in when he came back to the united states. otto had a shaved head. he had a feeding tube coming out of his nose. he was tearing blankly into space jerking vie eventually. he was blind. he was defense as we looked at him and try to comfort him it looked like someone had taken a pair of priors and rea arranged his

north korea claims otto warm beer fell into a coma after contracting botch list many and taking a sleemg pill. doctors here in the states said they found no fear of botch list many . the trump administration imposed more sanctions. even russia today got in. they're saying they're ruling out a military solution to the nuclear threat from north korea warning that a war on the korean pence enlarge audience could mean catastrophic consequences. right now on the table. we are totally prepared for the second option, not a preferred option, but p we take that option it will be devastating, i can tell you that, deftion take iting for north korea. that's called the military option. if we have to take it, we will. he's acting very badly. he's saying things that should

and we're plying to those things , but it's a reply. it's not an orange flal statement. it's a reply. will the two countries to trade words back and forth, north korea reportedly looking to get into president trump's mind to better understand him. how are they do ing it. the washington post says they have been reaching out to ties. trump they can't figure him out. meanwhile north korea has release a new anti america propaganda video and it would probably be scarier if it didn't have the sounds and effects from a bad action movies . it shows the us blowing up a war plane as well as president trump addressing us military with the caption calling him a mad man. keep it going. i want to see this. look at this. oh, my gosh. move over

that movie. let's talk about the issue that dominated the national conversation for a good 72 hours. talk about the pro tests during the national anlt emotional. we all remember last night, monday night football the cowboys kneeling before the anthem starred. they did before this anthem, then both teams stood and linked arms . the president seems to be okay with that approach. he tweeted the boying at nfl football game wet entire dallas team dropped to its fees, was the loud efs i've ever heard. they all stood up for our national and emotional. big progress being made. the president still making the call for the nfl to make it a rule that players can't neil during the anthem and with everything else going on in the world the president was asked if he was too preoccupied with the protest s. >> mow, i wasn't preoccupied with the nfl. i was ashamed of what was taking place, because to me that was a

moment. i don't think you you can disrespect our country, our flag, our national anthem. to me the nfl situation is a very important situation. i've heard that before about was i pre occupied, not at all. i have plenty of time on my hands. all i do is work and to be honest with you that's an important function of working chts it's called respect for our country. kneeling with the anthem started with players who wanted to pro test police brutality. after the president called players sob s and said they should be fired it's turned into free speech. free speech on college campusesment he was met with pro testors and demonstrate offers said what upset them the most was they weren't invited into the audience. it should be open to the student body as a whole. what we're objecting to is we just found out about this yesterday and the faculty wanted to do it at ten and we were told

there was foe pieceful intellectual way to voice opposition to many, many of the things that jeff sessions hahas has done. the proteens puncheds were outside. during the event envied, sessions weighed in on the anthem protest. i agree that it is a big mistake to pro test in that fashion. i guess it's up to the owners and the people who create these games and pay for the ball fields to deskyed what you can do on a ball field. but the freedom of every individual player is paramount under the constitution. it's protected and we have to protect it. they went a couple different ways there. the next nfl game is coming up thursday night, his team will link arms and ask fans to dot same in a show of unity. the other major goal, something that the president wants to accomplish, the gop wants to accomplish, tax reform. today the president met with members of the house of ways and m

writing the country's tax code . we must make our tax code simple and fair. it's too complicated. people can't do it . american taxpayers \waste\waist six bill hours each year complying with the tax code under our plan. the vast majority of americans will be able to file their tax return on a single l page without extra recordkeeping and all of that paperwork. so we're going to make it very, very simple. it's called simplification. >> house speaker paul ryan says \tax\tacks reform is next on the agenda. senate majority leader mitchell mcconnell on a healthcare. the president hold ing a rally in indiana to talk about the plan and i'm sure other news will come out of that as wesm up next on the final five we have more on the protest s during the national anthem. did the protest actually boost support for pler

keith eaten bear in. he's joining me next. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor and i sponsored this ad narrator: ed gillespie says dr. ralph northam doesn't show up? dr. ralph northam was an army doctor and a volunteer medical director at a children's hospice. he passed the virginia law requiring concussion standards for school sports.

and dr. northam is working to connect veterans to good paying jobs in virginia. ed gillespie is a washington dc corporate lobbyist. he shows up for whoever pays him.

>> some people were saying the president's sudden intersection in the intersection of sports and patriotism is to be a distracts from some other issues out there. the question is where are we? ethan bear man described as the voice of generation x and one of talkers es heavy hunter. he's joining me live via skype on the west coast to talk about everything. how are you you. >> i am doing great. >> thanks for having me on. was that a proper introduction for you? i want to make sure we had everything right. >> it all works. >> give me a sense of where you see things stand right now because you you talk to people every day. you know you're active on twitter. you talked a little bit about what we saw over the weekend much what's your take on why the president somehow tapped into this on frid

some success. i think there are two parts of this and you introduced him properly. one is he is trying to deflect. so when things aren't going his way it is easy to throw red meet to his base. what's not going his way in we have jet officials jet ting around on taxpayer dollars. we have a failed healthcare bill again. the wall hasn't been built yet. we don't have tax reform, you no, a final piece of legislation there. we have issues with north korea ratcheting up for war. we have a lot of things that are not going president trump's way. let's say mar-a-lago and all the money he's belowing there as well. it's easy for him to throw red meet. let's talk about these nfl players who by the way have a very good point about racism in our country. you're obviously out in san francisco where this all started la

is gone. he's not part of the equation anymore. the whole intent of these protests whether you agree or disagree with them, it got lost, it got lost in translation. there is definitely some of that, but i would turn it around i used to be a.m. bif length about colin cap kaepernick's. i'm not sure if this is the right venue. do we support him. he's got a lot of points. he's got a great point. i was a.m. bif length until president trump spoke at the l rally in a.m. bam a and sounded like he was speaking at the a clan rally with the way he spoke and all of a sud sen i'm all for the nfl. i have a dd14 my grandfather served in three wars. i'm patriotic and now i'm suddenly taking the players' sides. there's

confusion of the protest of what jerry jones did with the dallas cowboys, but a lot of people have gotten behind the protest because of what the president did. there seems to be thiss don't stand, if you decide to take that knee that instantly it's a protest against the troops. you just mentioned, your staps on that there. it seems like there's so much conflation all around if you don't do this, ir\another\ear that. i feel like it's part of the national conversation that has again gone lost. it's very easy to point your finger at somebody and say you're being patriotic, you're not being patriotic. what's being lost in whole discussion over the flag and the national anthem. if that is what your country means to you you is a piece of fabric or a song you don't understand the founding fathers. these are ideals. these are ways of liberty and justice and freedom for awful u

implement thing like a piece of clot which of course has meaning . but also what we're talking about here is systemic racism. which means more, a piece of clot that represents something or systemic racism that has affected people of color here for hundreds of years and are still problematic. i think it's wrong to t say, if you denigrate the flag, i'll tell you what, i have family members who fought for our country who feel like it's perfectly acceptable to take a knee. i've talked to a loft those people as well to conflate those issues. this is what our country is about even at its core. i got to get your take it seems like a lot of the players who took the knee, it seem like the president called us sobs and again it seems like the intent went away. it seemed to become he's attack attacking us so we're taking the knee. do you feel like some

maybe you're taking the wrong tack or. >> i think they're doing it the right way. you're going to take you tack these people over this you're going to attack a football player because he's concerned about racism analysis tellic racism in the united states. absolutely support them even if they're gg what may be considered the wrong reason. i think it's the right thing in thenment you see the shameless plug right behind him. kgo radio.com and on twitter as well . thank you very much, we're back after this on the final five. five

vote on horseback. mere is a former supreme court justice was removed in 2003 for refusing to take down a ten commandments monument. mower had the support of ben carson and steve bannon. bannon and appeared at a campaign rally. president trump was in alabama to stump big leut er strange and that's when the rally last week when he made the comments about nfl players that got everything going. mike pence spoke at a recall yivment the president said he backed moore in a general election if strange lost. meanwhile tennessee senator bob corker won't be seeking reelection. he's going to retire at the end of 2018 when his term expires. by the way, that's a power pose right there. that is a power pose. that's how you pose when you're the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. thank you very much. >> bob corker served two terms in

was considered to be secretary of state under president trump. but he's been increasingly critical. we've learned that several other white house aides have used private e-mail. while responding to those reports kushner's lawyer got fooled by a prank ter. kushner's lawyer was tricked into thinking he was comuking with his client. he needed to see all the prankster wrote the attorney at kushner. jared and asked what he should do with some private correspondence featuring adult comment. remember last week when donald trump jr. dropped secret service attention it didn't last long. he gave up his protection to have more privacy. it provides protection to the president and vice-president and also family

people can decline it at any i'm . we're also learning more about the private jet trips that tom price has taken. tonight politico reports price combines official travel and meeting with friends and family. he made two taxpayer flights in places where he owns property. where he and his wife where he was set to speak to doctors at a medical conference. price toured a medicine dispensary, spoke at a health summit organized bia friend and had living with his on. top ethics lawyer for form er george were bush said the trips may be legal but called them ethically dub bus. twitter helped plik him what he is. he gained on the political platform you because of twitter. remember he'll be one of the select if you chosen to tes

(voice fading away)

>> if you you were a tennessee republican senator bob corker you're getting out while the getting is good. the two term senator, welcome back senator corker. is stepping down after next year when his term is up. at one point he was considered a potential secretary of state, but after a fallout over the president's handling of the violence in charlottesville itself he's happening it up. it's hard to

sending a democrat to the senate . they haven't had one there since 1975. it looks like the seat will be in good hands. he'll certainly land on his feet somehow. the rick try of rory moore in tonight's alabama senate run off is a big loss for president trump. president's never get involved in primaries and yet the president did throwing his support behind leut er strange. the big loss for strange tonight means that roy moore who was booted as a state chief justice for going against a court order to install a ten command nts remembers stated and then for refusing for gay sex marriage is very likely going to the us senate and for the president who said he campaigned for moore puts him in the spot of being dealt a big blow by the electric tort. especially by the fact that more was elected as i toll a of at bam
