you have angus king there and you will have the debate about i.c.e.these primaries and let me take a quick break. when we come back, we'll change gears a bit and president trump said it's easy to win a trade war and there are losers in the united states and guess who most of them voted for? before we go to break, a word about someone we lost this week and charles krauthammer began a career as a psychiatrist, and became a political renowned and a diving accident at the age of 22 left him a quadriplegic. krauthammer was a neoconservative. in his tv appearances, he was tough and rigorous and never disagreeable. he appeared on "meet the press" six times and most recently he was on fox news the morning of election day with quite the far-sighted prediction of what a trump presidency might mean. >> the first thing he will do is he will irreversibly re-shape the party. this was the party of reagan, and the bush years were sort of an echo of the reagan years. reagan defined the contours of the party. trump will do that and it will be changed, particularly the

joining us now is angus king of maine, a member of the senate intelligence committee. senator king, thank you is so much for being with us now. sarah sanders at the white house says she's not going to address it all. the fact that she said in august, president trump did not dictate the letter, now his lawyers said they did dictate the letter. what questions does that raise to you? >> well, it certainly raises a question of what was the president's role in that particular episode. we are trying to keep our heads down on the intelligence committee and just work forward through this series of issues involved in the investigation. so far we have been able to deal with it on a bipartisan basis. i hope we are going to be able to continue that. as we get to the tail end, it will probably be a little more difficult. john, i continue to be concerned that all the attention and focus on the collusion and what did president trump do or say or sign or dictate takes away from the real underlying story, which is what the russians did and the fact that they are likely to do it again.

we will look for more this morning when you are joined by senators james lankford and angus king. jake we will see new a couple a minutes and hear about the reporting from the border the last couple weeks. and jacob's date line special, the dividing line on this issue runs ton at 7, 6 central on nbc. breaking news in san diego where two police officers were shot in a confrontation with a suspect. the officers went to a residence after reports of smoke and fire but when they went in they were met with gunfire. both officers were hurt. one seriously but thankfully they both now are in stable condition. and the suspect is dead. >>> it's a historic day in saudi arabia where at the stroke of mid-the night women were allowed to drive for the first time in the country history. these images are routine in the world but historic here. the measure complemented by the sad saudi crown prince seen as cosmetic by some and the world cup is under way with england and pan mau squaring off. defending champion germany on saturday was on the verge of being bounced out when in extra time they broke th

i spoke with senator angus king.he threw some cold water on that idea. >> i don't think it affects the mueller probe one way or the other. the investigation was based upon a series of facts. the investigation is proceeding. there have been a number of indictments, a number of guilty pleas. it's lard for me to call something a witch-hunt that's actually having indictments and guilty pleas. it sounds to me like there is something there. >> joining me now, matt miller a former justice department spokes nanoand an msnbc contributor and tonight's panel. shane harris, daniela gibs la jay, and ramesh pannure. matt, you used to work at justice. i want to get your quick take here. there is a part of me that thinks while the inspector general report is thorough the ability to cherry pick and actually make the bureau and justice look worse is where this is headed. what do you think? >> that's probably right. the look, the bureau and the justice department do look bad in this. i think you have to look at the inspector general re

king's lynn. and an investigation has already begun. 0n dry roads with good visibility, how could this have happened? angust anna todd joins us from the scene of the crash. thatis that is one of the key question is, what do we know about what might have happened ? what do we know about what might have happened? the police havejust spoken to us and the inspector says this was just an unfortunate coming together of vehicles. the lorry appears to have been turning out of the depot, turning right and the bus has collided. the two front ends have come into collision. the police have come into collision. the police have just said that the two people who died on the bus, one was the driver, one was from northamptonshire and the other from norfolk. there are said to be five seriously injured with a combination of broken bones and head injuries, and seven the walking wounded, they've all been taken to local hospitals in kings lynn and peterborough. police are appealing for information, they are keen to speak to eyewitnesses. a number of people have come forward so far but police are particularly interested in talki

legislation i introduced in september of 2017 with my friends and senators joni ernst of iowa, angus king of maine, and susan collins of maine. i've also worked to ensure full planting flexibility for our farmers who want to plant fruits and vegetables. this ensures farmers can diversify their farms without worrying about losing access to commodity support programs in the future. it may sound a little bit technical, but it is critically important, and we have to make sure it gets done. ensuring planting flexibility is a strong passion of mine. it builds on a bipartisan bill i introduced with senator todd young, my colleague from our home state, in december of 2017, and it also builds on my work in the 20 in the 2014 and the 2008 farm bill. another important issue i care deeply about is helping those struggling with food insecurity. i am really proud that this bipartisan bill strengthens the oversight of the snap program and helps to fight food insecurity by reforming food assistance programs while protecting access to benefits and maintaining the integrity of the programs. it makes it eas
