smith and also to step back from the day-to-day, money part of all this, bob murray, the pastor at holyy church in new york. father, to you first. a lot of people look at this and say i've been focused on saving for my kid's future, saving, saving, saving, something like this comes, maybe i've got it backwards. what do you tell people? >> well, moral formation, spiritual guidance, a sense of right and wrong, the 10 commandments aren't suggestions, the way you live your life is you love your neighbor, you don't hate. one of the things society has been tolerating too much is the sense of cultivating hatred is a way to deal with people and apparently this young man was the object of some hatred in his school, which is wrong, but we have to teach people it's never right to express your anger through violence and murder and this is what's happened here. the right and wrong of human action really depends on our decision making to embrace what's good and i think we have to tell kids, look, don't go along with sentimental things where people say whatever you feel, that's how you feel, express i

bob. dr. gottlieb? >> senator burr, ranking member murray, and members of the committee, thank you for the invitation to testify today. our nation has faced many emerging public health challenges and unfortunately, will face additional challenges in the future. thankfully, our preparedness and the ability to respond to such challenges has improved greatly since the original enactment of the pandemic all hazards preparedness act. each emergency is unique. many are the result of emerging infectious threats, but the technology for manipulating science for diabolical purposes is becoming ubiquitous and widely understood so we face new and pervasive risks. 2017 was marked by the risks posed by several extreme natural disasters which caused significant devastation and human suffering. these tragedies tested our nation's capabilities to respond. today, i'm going to focus my remarks on the impact of these storms on medical products manufactured in puerto rico and the actions we are taking to mitigate existing and potential product shortages. the impact of hurricane maria showed the importance of puerto rico to

murray has details for us. >> reporter: former trump campaign adviser rick gates has apparently struck a deal with special counsel bob mueller. according to "the l.a. times," rick gates will plead guilty. he will also testify against his co-defendant in a criminal case, paul manafort, who is also his former business partner. the two of them were facing charges for financial crimes that were unrelated to the presidential campaign, and they had pleaded not guilty. now as part of this deal, according to "the l.a. times," gates could serve about 18 months in prison. that's far shorter than what he could have served if he had gone to trial and been found guilty. but of course if you're paul manafort, if you're the co-defendant in this criminal case, this is worrisome news for you. it means gates can testify against him, but it also puts additional pressure on manafort to cooperate with bob mueller in the special counsel's probe. and as of right now, it's not clear what mueller could be building up to. is this just about paul manafort or could gates' cooperation be a building block towards something larger? could bit a bui

bob mueller. i do question whether this is just a distraction to get the american people talking about something else and not focused on his promise to come clean. >> overnight, it's interesting, our sara murray reporting the president is saying he would still like to speak to the special counsel's investigators. he says he can handle it. you don't buy that? >> i hope that's the case. he's a big boy. he can make his own decisions and shouldn't be restrained by any of his aides. if he really is willing to sit down in that chair and tell the truth. >> counselor, you know from your former work in the legal profession, as a lawyer, would you advise the president to sit down with investigators. joe biden, the former vice president of the united states overnight says he doesn't think he would advise the president to sit down with the special counsel because he doesn't think he can accomplish it. >> isn't it sad, john, that the president of the united states has to decide whether he can be truthful of not because of problems he's had in the past? i would tell any client, if you don't have anything to hide, you should cooperate because it would look really bad if you didn't. >> all right. representat

bob corker now says he is sticking with his original plan, he will retire from the senate, despite pleas from his fellow republicans. let's get the inside scoop from nbc news senior political editor mark murray atkins, boston herald, and msnbc contributor. and sabrina sadicky, for the guardian. corker decide to bow out for real? >> yes, the back story, he was having legitimate second thoughts after saying that he wasn't going to run for re-election in september. then of course back in september, he had said many critical comments about president trump, questioned his stability, his competence, even mentioned perhaps we could be on a path to world war iii. in the last several months, corker has not been critical of the president at all, has tried to wham up to him, particularly as he tries to construct some type of deal on the nuclear deal. but ultimately it was going to be very difficult for corker to win against marsha blackburn, the republican congresswoman from tennessee. particularly as the races that i've seen across the country on the republican side, when it comes to primaries, it is who is the stronger ally, who is the more pro-trump republican, and bob corker, even if he had kind of
