"the new york times" has kept im ans. as you noted, as you detailed, quite a few allegations that are in-line with the bob book that the president, and i'm quoting from the editorial here, ess been involved in half-baked, ill-informed, rec decisions. and aides have talked about using the 25th amendment to take him down. >> tracie, thank you. >>> new this morning, a man tonvicted of assaulting the organize of l year's unite the right rally in charlottesville was fined just $1. take a look.vi this is o of the incidentng from wasn 2017. he suffered emotional trauma because pple made fun o him. a jury took that into consideration and fined him $1 and no jail time. kessler says his legal team is looking at appealing. >>> school in prince william county is under way. and this morning, we're learning about how too county s board is working to keep children safe. >> megan mcgrath is live in manassas with mor details. megan,

trump and pence have gone beyond that to establish the auth authoritarian presidency.d trump thinks it's more serious that someone exercise their free speech rights to criticize him than the russians acting to undermine our democracy. he is created this cult of personality and when a nation embraces that kind of cult, it lo loses its integrity and its freedoms are in great jeopardy. it's no excuse to say the economy is going well and that justifies this threat to american traditions. >> barbara, you heard the intimations that the attorney general might want to look into this. i want to get your read on that. what the department of justice might look into given the fact this op-ed was published. >> i think it would be highly inappropriate for the justice department to look into this. if president trump would look into who this is, he would be within his right to fire that person. that would be fine. this may be some sort of ethical violation but it's not a legal violati violation. you can't use the justice department to investigate an employment matter or ethical violat

circle who wrote this op ed, they're trying to convince president trump to drop the matter in is that auth this op ed. that's not likely to have much success, we know president trump spent the weekend fuming about this op ed, despite sarah sanders saying today that no lie detector test is on the table for these staffers. president trump didn't rule it out when he was asked about it in an interview, and he spent the weekend talking with allies and con dulting with them about the idea of doing such. certainly we've got that. the white house is continuing to make clear. it's not the only problem. who it is in the white house who crop rated. >> privately, behind closed doors, he's complaining to aids and naming out people he names in helping woodward write the book. the two people who have criticized the administration, the other bob woodward in his book detailing all of these things current staffers have said. the other sarah sanders not ruling out today the suing bob woodward over this book. what is clear tonight, the president wants to punish the people who are criticizing him. >> the presi

he wants to figure out who the op ed auth thoor is. he wants that person fired. he's suggested going to the department of justice to sort of activate the mechanics of the federal government to try to figure this out. people around him are trying to talk him off that suggesting that, look, there's no crime committed here. certainly this is a personnel issue. you're right to want this person fired, but there's no suggestion that state secret or classified information was disclosed. >> who does he trust besides blood relatives. does he trust kellyanne? >> i think it varies by the day. i think largely those people, yes, he still does but every day, there are only people in the building or in his orbit who have his full 100% trust are his relatives, are his family and people around him are trying to get him off this, to focus on something else, focus on the mid term, focus on the economy and now focus on the storm. >> elise, how do you run a country when you don't trust anybody to do what you're telling them to do and they're going around your back? >> and the only pe

to talk about what it means for google is formerly of the washington post and auth are or the googlewhy do you think google came? when the king summons you to the castle you show up and google's failure to show up today is going to be seen as arrogant in washington it's the kind of thing that would never have happened at google 20 years ago, and i think they didn't show up because there were some things they didn't want to talk about. >> well, what would be those things they don't want to talk about? and i guess, how would they imagine that staying away from the hearings would insulate them from criticism >> well, i think they didn't want to talk about the fact that senior management is planning to re-enter china with a sensored search employ inthat would enable the chinese government to tell google exactly what results and it cannot show to schechine citizens and secondly, it didn't want to talk about the allegations to president trump and others that search results have a liberal bias. to your last point, i think google hoped that by not showing up they would not be thrown into the

frankly, doctors receive -- perceive pre-auth they were not prescribed certain therapy even if it's indicated that. why could this not be integrated into the electronic medical record? why does minors have to be on the phone as opposed to the insurance company being able to otherwise access it? >> i think the challenge right now, senator cassidy, is around interoperability of electronic medical records. >> i talk -- i thought they get medical data, they truly download my hbilling data so wh don't they use that? >> that may be for some plans and may not be for all electronic medical record systems. right? that may be a good example of something we can learn from in terms of how we could scale that and apply that more broadly. >> let me stop you. dr. cutler, you mentioned there is an increased overhead associated with dryvit plans. yet what i have read is that in countries such as the netherlands which only use private plans, they still have half of our administrative overhead. it doesn't seem inherent it is going to be the federal government, because dr. book tells me, the overhead is associat
