ali, back to you. not political at all.rybody you talk to today they voted differently in the election. they voted with an idea that healthcare is important and they want those issues solved. that got to be reflective of how things are in west virginia. it really is, ali, it is interesting because on one hand you may think the people who voted for the president who campaigned on this issue would feel they can't continue to support him on this. donna said to me and others said to me that they support the president, they want him to hear what their issues are regarding hot healthcare. they don't think they can get you something involving politics. it is interesting when you hear any boots on the ground or a healthcare facility like this. people are looking for a system. donna said something that was very important. people here are proud people. when she answers that phone and people have to say to her, i can't afford my insulin or dental care or eye care. it is something that's very painful for them and yet they are grateful

ali? >> to the point that katy and i were just talking about. steven miller who have views on administration to say outside the main stream would be an understatement. the senator from south carolina has said that he is outside even conservative main stream in his thinking. but he seems to be ascended in his influence with donald trump. >> look for a former sessions aide and we all know what happened to mr. sessions when he came into this administration, steven miller had an extraordinary amount of power. whenever there is shifting and moving things in any white house whether they're doing a fundamental reorganization or long-standing grievances are being carried out, important not to assign too much power to one individual. at the end of the day, it's always the president that drives it. this is clearly a president that has no problem either publicly humiliating his cabinet members and his staff and/or letting them go without a contingency plan. what we know so far is that the planning fo

he deserved to win, ali.e seems always fully prepared for them. he doesn't approach it that way. he is always playing optimistic snooker and he has a great all—round game. playing optimistic snooker and he has a great all-round game. in the second round we had a blockbuster opening session between the guys who between them had conceded only one frame on the opening round, shaun murphy and neil robertson. what did you think of that? sometimes these matches do not live up to their billing but this one has. robertson was magnificent up to 3—0, he never let shaun murphy see a ball, then shaun murphy has come back to 5—3 behind. a high quality session from both players. four centuries and it does whet the appetite for another couple of sessions between these two tomorrow. they produced the goods. they were doing it in the first round. i don't know who will come out on top, it is going to be tough. at one stage neil robertson looked like he had a queue made of kryptonite to beat superman shaun murphy but somewhere

ali? >> hans nichols at the white house. thank you, hans. >>> the president said guadalajara and el salvador may have taken money for years. the president wants to cut about $500 million in aid for those countries, and that was approved in the 2018 fiscal year. the aid is used to, quote, provide investment and partnership from the united states to promote economic opportunity and security for citizens of the region. the president wants the central american governments to stop the mass migration of refugees, but many critics say the aid actually deters migration and will help with conditions at the border. even the president's former chief of staff, john kelly, said so himself. >> if we can improve the conditi conditions in guadalajara, honduras and el salvador, we can do a lot to protect the central border. >> he said the aid given to those countries may be having an impact. el salvador and honduras both saw declines in their suicide rates. the rural farmers' sales helped lift 40% out of poverty. it helped farmers increase t

she's going to be sentenced tomorrow in federal court, ali. prosecutors, as part of sentencing, they got an affidavit from the head fd. they said they bypass formal plans of diplomacy and exert influence in the united states. people can look at that and say, that's exactly what donald trump pd, according to the fact they didn't find a criminal conspiracy. they're about to assess the damage of all this and how to figure it out. there was an episode where he gave code word classified information to russians in the oval office. just this week, jared kushner was nearing talking points when he said it was just a few facebook ads. so great concern that russia mounted a successful influence campaign on the trump people. it wasn't a crime but it may have been a counter-intelligence nightmare, ali. >> thank you for your reporting, nbc news intelligence and national security reporter. with all this happening, the president is back and spouting what we've been hearing since the special counsel's was released. what's the latest from the white house? >> we

price used to spar with ali and said the bight was "out of character".an he has a look in his eyes like a bit of a madman before the fight and, you know, i was nice and cool and calm despite the tension in the buildup. but ultimately for me he done what he done to get out of the fight and to get disqualified rather than be knocked out because he was spent by the time this happened. you know, it was the wheezy way out for him, to get disqualified. so, he is the one who quit in the fight. and finally, what do floyd mayweather, marlon brando, muhammed ali and paul pogba all have in common? the answer is david howarth. who is david howarth, i hear you cry? well, he's an artist specialising in explosive portraits, who's also had some pretty interesting people ask to be painted. as soon as you as 50011 as you see a as soon as you see a footballer follow you, you almostjust as soon as you see a footballer follow you, you almost just wait for that dm, can you paint me or can you paint my wife? it is just mental. i think the nature of my art is very statement ori

>> thanks, ali, that's a generous question. as you are driving on the freeway, fines are doubled because people are working on the highway, it may result in negative outcomes or sentences are tripled if you deal drugs near ale 62. obviously, that has additional ramifications. i feel when we talk about ftc violations arnold privacy. we're not talking consumer harm. we're talking actions that might enable violence, spin up violence. my advice to these regulatory agency, they need to add a zero to these fines. a fine is meant to be a deterrent. the algebra is simple. it's the probability of getting caught, times the likely fine, not being or being greater than the upside of the economics of ignoring these fines and continuing to do that. what we saw this morning is facebook added $33 million market value of fiautoand via com and chrysler combined. they see a crisis coming, it's only 3-to-$5 billion. we need to add a zero to these fines. >> we need to repeat that for our audience, for those who aren't following the stock. imagine t

ali? >> peter, thanks very much, as always. nbc white house correspondent peter alexander. >>> back in washington, another major story happening. "i think spying did occur. i have no specific evidence." attorney general william barr made that big claim during his second round of congressional testimony on the justice department's 2020 budget request. today's hearing also revealed new details on the contents of the mueller report, including a possible answer as to why mueller chose not to make a conclusion on whether trump obstructed justice, but it's the word spying barr chose to use that set off an alarm for many committee members. >> i think spying on a political campaign is a big deal. it's a big deal. i'm not suggesting that those rules were violated, but i think it's important to look at that. and i'm not talking about the fbi necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly. >> so you're not suggesting, though, that spying occurred? >> i don't -- well, i guess you could -- i think there was spying did occur. >> have yo

ali good to see you as always. trail with elizabeth warren in iowa. >>> former vice president joe biden raised $6.3 million in his first 24 hours since announcing his candidacy. that is the highest of any democratic candidate so far. we should note biden's first night in the race included a big fundraising event. beto o'rourke raised $6.1 million in his first day, bernie sanders raised 5.9 million, kamala harris brought in $1.5 million. president trump and his allies are certainly treating the former vice president as a front runner, going after him a few times today. >> i'm officially making this a hair sniffing free zone. we're not going to have any of that today. >> you know, i heard the other day that another vice president actually said that we're in a battle for the soul of our nation. and for once i agree with him. but not for the reason he thinks. we are in a battle and ultimately it's a battle between freedom and socialism. >> well, i think that -- i just feel like a young man. i'm so young. i can't believ

ali. >> i didn't know what your last line there was but i was going to say this is the syria of the western hemisphere. >> totally. >> a collapsed government, disputes as who the government should actually be and regular people suffering because of it. >> the fact that they're looking for water in muddy streams and sewage drains. >> in one of the actual richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources so i hope there's a resolution to that. i do worry that we don't often think of that the right way and u.s. foreign policy may not be thinking about the fact that things are going to get worse well before they get better there. >> we will be reporting on this story for quite a while. >> you have yourself a great weekend. am i going to see you monday? >> i don't know. >> it's a fun game. my most exciting pregnancy. >> what about -- okay. i'm just going to let that go. >> have a great afternoon and a great weekend. >> you too. >> and one way or the other, next week will be a great week whether i see you or if i don't see you then. >> i'm just going to be here no matter what. >> have

muhammad ali is sensational but muhammad ali is sensational but muhammad ali is sensational but muhammade man at a time. what tiger woods has done to come back from the fall from grace, from that shaming, if you like, in the first place. and then to come back from the physical problems he has suffered, it's just extraordinary and a huge tribute to that mental strength that he has. if you compare the florida police mug shot they took of him less than two yea rs shot they took of him less than two years ago, he looked like another bum on the slide. he would have slowed to oblivion —— slid to oblivion. you can compare that to that photo of him skipping off the 18th green tonight, skipping and hugging his daughter, they are two different men. what will this mean for him personally in sparing him owing —— sparing him on to the next step? he is only three short ofjack nicholls's record. i don't think that's important now. he has proved something to himself. he has tried to change himself to make himself a human being. superficially, he seems to have achieved that. we never know what's going on

comparison is with muhammad ali after being allowed to compete at vietnam.n't been able to hit golf balls for years. i think it's mental but also physical and for the entire sport of golf, this is hugely significant to have your biggest name, the person who can go on your biggest name, the person who can go on front pages across the world in an instant with a victory like this. this is really essential to the popularity of the sport. all sports hope that a moment like this inspires another generation to in this case gubler golf club and have a go. it gives them a character that can get behind and here easily has the personality that people want to see succeed and i think that's the inspiring element. i wonder whether everybody has forgotten his personal problems. he is an exciting golfer. i wonder whether this is the renaissance of him as a global superstar. you need to be more than a player, more than a winner. whether people remember the headlines for the past years, we will see. it will be interesting to see what his ex—wife, if she gives an interview, sa

but the lower quality thing i don't think is much in dispute ali.look at the long lines for surgeries, the facts that canadians come to the u.s. -- >> that's not true. >> that is true. >> my father needed a stent, he got in within four days and the cost was the amount that he paid for parking at the hospital. >> you can look at the uk if you want to. >> the people who need it fast in canada and the uk -- >> no. no. >> some things you might wait for surgery -- >> the thing i was going to come back and agree with you, is that the costs are higher in the u.s. and one of the reasons is that we're the only place really where prices are set in a somewhat competitive marketplace. and the thing that -- the second thing i was going to say that i'm really worried about is innovation. basically all the innovation happens because of investment in the u.s. or investment by people in foreign countries by something they're going to introduce in the u.s. so if you take profits away -- >> i argue that the markets in china and india are as attractive because those ar

>> a couple of points i want to make, ali. first of all, in 2009 led slightly to the left of benjamin netanyahu got 28 seat and led by bibi got 27 seats. at the time, the president of israel asked lachim to form the government. there is precedent for the party that gets fewer votes to be asked to form the government. so, one always has to watch very carefully as bill neely was pointing out. how the coalitions are put together and what the president will decide. no matter who gets which votes, precedents for someone who gets fewer votes asked to form the government. this is a cliffhanger for some time. your broader point is very, very important. bibi netanyahu wants to avoid going to jail and cement his legacy as the longest serving prime minister in israel's history. he wants to, as he recently said, take over and begin to annex parts of the west bank. he's already gotten president trump, as you have pointed out, to declare sovereignty over the golan heights which israel took in a war. and really that is very significant becau

one of the key aspects -- i believe it is in ali soufan's book. banners", we had a meeting and we only had a couple of swat protectors. we were the only ones in country on 9/12. we had a meeting with the head of the yemen intelligence service. he had a very close relationship with john o'neill, referred to him as brother. he was asking how john was, and we had word early on the 12th of november that john o'neill was missing and presumed dead. when the general asked about brother john, how is he, ali soufan choked up and said john may be dead. the general started choking up as well. when we said we needed al-quso immediately, he picked up the phone and told aden the last yemeni flight was not to leave until al-quso was aboard. the cooperation was tremendous. we had access to al qaeda, card-carrying members after that and it was a treasure trove of intelligence information post 9/11. jim: any other questions? >> i have several questions. i will try to limit. and little bit of background on who i am. my name is jamal gunn. my brother cherone was one

i'm ali velshi. >> and i'm stephanie ruhle. we got a lot to cover. let's get smarter. >> the president heading to texas but talking an awful lot on his way out the door. >> hopefully the attorney general, he mentioned it yesterday, he's doing a great job. getting started on going back to the origins of exactly where this all started because this was an illegal witch-hunt. >> i am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the trump campaign during 2016. i'm not talking about the fbi necessarily but intelligence agencies more broadly. >> so you're not suggesting, though, that spying occurred? >> well, i think there was spying did occur, yes, i think spying did occur. >> do you have any evidence that there was anything improper in those investigations? >> i have no specific evidence that i would site right now. >> it was an illegal investigation. everything about it was crooked. every single thing about it. there were dirty cops. these were bad people. >> i'll use my own adjectives. >> those i don't as

look, the bottom line, in fairs in, ali, no matter what the team says about this, it will not change the bottom-line legal conclusions, which is that the attorney general has pronounced the president clear on both the conspiracy aspect and object stubs aspect. he's a trump appointee who criticized the investigation before he came to office. the reason mueller was hired is he was supposed to be independent, and that's one of the biggest questions here. why did robert mueller not make a decision on obstruction of justice. it's pretty clear he and barr agreed there was no criminal case on collusion, but what about obstruction? >> and it's a strange conclusion that barr's summary came to that, there could be obstruction if the underlying crime wasn't proved. that at love of legal experts continue to tell us that's not sound legal reasoning. ken, thank you. >>> joining mess now with a deeper look, and how it's playing, capitol hill correspondent and host of ca "kasiedc" and kellie o'donnell. this comes a day after the house committee approved a subpoena for the full unredacted mueller rep

mohammed ali, fantastic.t think, the tiger woods story is, notjust coming back from physical injury it's the whole emotional side of things and behaviour, and all of that. we know in elite sport at such a mental game, it's not just in elite sport at such a mental game, it's notjust about physical ability but you know, your conviction that you can do it and you can take on something like the masters and when. it is an incredible tale, you consider where he was 18 months ago, two years ago, all the issues he has had. to come back and do that i think is astonishing but i think it says a lot about the attitude of top—flight sportspeople. again, when i mentioned james cracknell a second ago, he just kept going and going despite it all. and so, there he is in his mid—405, taking part in the oxford and cambridge boat race. it's unique. none of us could do it. another viewer watching in india, novakjaco another viewer watching in india, novak jaco beach another viewer watching in india, novakjaco beach and tennis sli

here is stephanie ruhle and ali velshi. >> it's april fool's day, i had to come back for that. >> hello, everyone. >> it is monday, as i just said, april 1st, let's get smarter. >> new information on some big questions about the white house and how it gives out its security clearances. a white house whistleblower told congress that the trump administration overturned 25 security clearance denials, believe it or not. >> president trump renewing his immigration fight now threatening to shut down the southern border as he orders his administration to suspend aid to three central american countries. >> and the department of homeland security, they're redeploying, they're calling it a surge, an additional 750 border agents to the the part where they feel most stressed. >> if you wanted to make an already unstable situation much worse, you do what the trump administration is doing. >> we have right now two big caravans coming up from guatemala, massive caravans. walking right through mexico. so mexico's tough, they can stop them, but they chose not to. now they're going to stop them. if they

>> as you made the point, ali, immigration is a civil issue. it is one in the preview of the federal government. i have many responsibilities, particularly for my police force. and it is not my job nor my duty to actually do the federal government's bidding, particularly when a community like mine finds that these types of policies actually make our city less safe. in a city like oakland where we have more than 30% of our residents from other countries, immigrants, we want everyone to feel safe. we want everyone to feel like they can call 911 in an emergency and that's what i want my local law enforcement to focus on and definitely not to be engaged in political pawnsmen ship. >> you want everybody to be able to call 911 without having the fear if i want to talk to a police officer or a witness to a crime or report a crime or i am the victim of a crime, that i wouldn't do that if i thought that you guys might turn me in? >> absolutely. and that's why we say sanctuary cities are safer cities. but what has been disturbing to the values is the vil

snooker from gary wilson — he fights back in his world championship quarterfinal at the crucible to give aliblues. and, speed skater elise christie speaks very honestly about suffering from depression. this is what the stadium was built for, these big european nights. i don't think even mauricio pochettino would have been expected to be playing in a champions league semifinal so soon after the opening of this stadium such has been their performances in this tournament so far. they are here in the last four of this competition. they have been the story of the competition so far but so too have their opponents ajax, having knocked outjuventus and the alma dead on their way. it's been a generation sense ajax have entered this far in europe, you have entered this far in europe, you have to go further back for totte n ha m. have to go further back for tottenham. this is 21st century football, all their messes and barnardos, spurs and ajax have broken the mould without breaking the bank. the team deserve a lot of praise, the manager, the players, they are doing a fantasticjob. no one believe that

there is also another man who shares those qualities, but of course is ali carter.a comeback from him to win six on the spin this afternoon. what can you say about him? he is one of the players to have played during the o'sullivan area, as you say, a two—time finalist here. we could be talking a two—time winner of this championship. hot is on file every time, gives it everything every time he goes out there. deserves everything he gets. we must also tip our hats to zhou yuelong, 28 years old. we have been impressed by his composure. perhaps, when setting too far. his match play was fantastic. he lost two friends last night against today, he can carry it through but he is a player for the future. i don't think it be too long before he is qualified for this, i think he is a top 16 player over the next few years. two more quarterfinal berths to be climbed this evening. you can see that on bbc seven o'clock. liverpool's virgil van dijk has won this season's professional footballers‘ association player of the year award raheem sterling was the young player of the year at

i'm ali velshi.mocrats mull over what to do next, one thing is certain. the chorus calling for impeachment is growing louder. joining me now is representative congresswoman madeleine dean. congresswoman, good to see you. thank you for being with us early on a saturday morning. >> thank you for having me. >> you're in pennsylvania. this is interesting because donald trump won your state. that was a surprise to some people but not to others. what are people in your district telling you about impeachment? >> well, i have to tell you that as a result of the mueller report, in its redacted form, i was talking with constituents yesterday in our local barbershop. they're deeply troubled by the accusations in there by the inn of justice to the president. they said please get at the truth. the american people have a right to know what happened. this was an important set of lies and deceptions. and many attempts by the president to get others to do things that were not legal, were not moral or ethical. so lie

i'm ali velshi. >> i'm stephanie ruhle. it is friday, april 5th. we got a packed day. let's get smarter. >> i'm heading to the border. we're building a lot of wall. i'm going to show you a section. >> i may shut it down at some point. i'd rather do tariffs. mexico has been very, very good. we know that. if they continue that, everything will be fine. if they don't, we're going to tariff their cars at 25% coming into the united states. this will supersede usmca. we make money as opposed to lose money. we probably bring those cars back into the united states. i'm also looking at an economic penalty for all of the drugs that are coming in through the southern border and killing our people. congress has to act. they have to get rid of catch and release, chain migration, visa lottery. they have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work. the economic numbers just came out, they're very, very good, our country is doing unbelievably well. economically, a lot of companies will be announcing they're moving back into the united states. they're all coming back.

ali, away. i don't feel so bad saying that. it is 11:00 a.m. out west and 2:00 p.m. in washington. president trump glfloated about how well the economy is doing after the jobs report. >> the economic numbers just came out. they're very, very good. our country is doing unbelievably well. >> sorry, stephanie just danced off to the side and it distracted me. we're going to get back on track. 2020 democrats are painting a very different picture of how the economy is working. and specifically who it is working for. >> we live in an america where our government is working better and better for the rich and the powerful, for the wealthy and the well-connected and not working for anyone else. >> we will no longer tolerate the greed of wall street. the greed of corporate america and the billionaire class. >> an economy that works for us and an economy where instead of us serving the numbers, the numbers serve us. >> so many millions of our fellow americans unable to see a doctor or afford prescription or participate in a meaningful way in this economy. >> i believe that is is a momenn time

. >> hi, ali. >> a man has been arrested in connection with an alleged terror plot in los angeles. >> the fbi became aware of this man, he evidence is in the military, served four months in afghanistan in 2013, had a number of rifles at home, i think three rifles at home and he began making incendiary comments in a private messaging space online that the fbi saw and began to talk to him. and then ever since early march, the fbi has been meeting with him, conversing with him, undercover operatives that he did not know were undercover fbi operatives. during the course of these last several weeks, according to investigators, he talked about trying to do a number of things. his initial online talks were about trying to foment violent unrest in mamerica. then he said something needed to be done to retaliate for the attacks on mosques in new zealand. then he talked about killing his neighbor or perhaps shooting police in their patrol cars or attacking a national guard armory or a church or jews on the street and he finally settled on the idea of trying to set off an explosion of device in a

i'm ali velshi. let's get smarter. >> i want to thank the president again for the tremendous opportunity to serve this country. i'm forever grateful and proud for the men and women of dhs who work so hard every day to protect the homeland. i look forward to continuing to support them from the outside. i spent the last 24 hours since yesterday talking with government officials, administration officials, members of congress to ensure a smooth transition. as you know, dhs has a vast array of missions. i want to make sure we continue to execute them all. i share the president's goal of securing the border. i will continue to support all efforts to address the humanitarian and security crisis on the border. >> she never led the facts or the underlying data get in if way of a policy. >> while drug related murders have reached epidemic proportions, this is a phenomenon that has not tranlated to spill over into the guidan united states. >> absolutely. >> all stations. we have a church on fire. >> south louis
