even obama's s chief spokesman publicly denounce the treatment and resigned after he criticized the president for it. it did not make sense to me why they would want to subject him to this kind of abusive treatment that the whole world coululd see. after a little time thinking about that, i realized the reason they did that is the same reason that they are so aggressively putting fear into people's hearts about supporting wiwiki leaks and threatening to prosecute wiki leaks, it's the same reason the u.s. governmenet spends all those years abducting thousands s of people from aroud the world and shipppping them ta lawless prison in the middle of the ocean and dressing them in .range jumpsuits and shackles the reason is it wanants to sena signal to anybody who may oppose them or try to impede their will in any way. it wants everyone toto know thee are no limits on what we can do to you. if you opposose us. if you want to expose things we have done in secret that are a a legal or deceitful or wrong, look at what we have just done to bradley manning. if you want to oppose our foreign policy, look

s increasing. we heard about obama care collapsing. how do americans know which part of the rising cost and insurers pulling out of the market is because of obama care or because of the uncertainty over the republican plan? >> it's very difficult for people to understand. a lot of insurers had said they th will increase premiums. some have pulled out of the market, some have done so setting the uncertainty of reforms going through congress and cost-sharing reduction payments that administration had said they would pay for them not say how they will help productions to help people afford insurance going forward. that is troubling for insurers. yes premiums are rising but also because of reforms trying to go through congress. some democrats think this is an intentional muddying of the waters from republicans in congress. democrats suggest they are actively trying to make the law work less well so they have ageo better argument for the reforms trying to go through congress. republicans dismiss that. it truly paints a hard to understand pi

trump doesn't hide it making him a leakers dream appear to we have this of cable news -- you think obama never s you think you never told the russians to chill until he won? you think you didn't give it manning a pass, that's so much worse. but greg, that shouldn't excuse donald trump, yes it does. if windows are drooling defenders of obama now scream for trump's head you bet it does. it's a pure media played like a 24 hours super bowl and it doesn't end until there is a loser which won't be the media or the pollsters because like roaches they survive everything. electing trump, a disruptive force was revolutionary. now what you are seeing is the counterrevolution led by a frantic force that slept through the last nine years. the whole thing is silly and overbought. it's like a twilight movie with old ugly people. >> jesse: that's music to my ears. so dana is this impeachment talk overblown, under blown or just blown? >> completely overblown, nothing is more unattractive to me than overreach and nothing can unite a party like in impeachment effort. after the republicans impeach from there, bill

and the king happy to s the back of barack obama? butome analysts say there might be a personal connection. donald trump is a man of money. he is a man who uses his family in politics. the house of trump, the house of saud, do you think there's a personal collection that may help the countries bilateral politics? >> i don't know if they have developed a personal relationship yet. but it certainly -- the approach to politics that resonates with the saudis, i think the saudis and arabs in general, really value personal relationships. and to the extent that the president can succeed in developing a bond of trust between the king and the american president, i think he will come out of this and see this meeting as a success. the saudis, of course, are comfortable, as you suggested, with a wealthy man that brings his family with them into the white house. who uses his children to promote his interests and agenda. that's how politics works in saudi arabia. this does not seem particularly odd to them. and so, i think i would expect not only

's speed to former president barack obama called on congress to show political courage and defend his the right thing to do, it's the brave thing to do. he said it doesn't take a lot of courage to those already powerful and comfortable and influential but it takes great courage to champion the vulnerable, the sick and the infirm. for this, he received the john f. kennedy profile in courage award. that's a big deal. really? no offense to john kennedy but exactly where is the courage giving people everything they want but hiding the real cost? where's the courage and saying you can keep your doctor but knowing full well you can't or steering the american people in the face and insisting their premiums won't skyrocket, but they have. tell me how ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country morphed into go ahead and ask what your country can do for you. we will just leave the bill with a few to pick up the tab. where is the bravery? that shared sacrifice? the selfless gods and advocating you are saving money on health care as the ignore the increases in t

s authority to regulate carbon emissions and cancel president obama's clean power plan. >> reporter: it may surprise you to learn that many of the world's largest oil companies say they'd support a carbon tax, including exxonmobil, which told newshour weekend: "we support carbon policies that would ensure a uniform and predictable cost of carbon across the economy." currently no republican in congress has endorsed shultz's carbon tax plan, although democratic senator sheldon whitehouse of rhode island says privately, some do. he introduced a similar plan in 2015. >> virtually every republican who has looked at the climate change problem and come to a solution comes to the same solution, which is a price on carbon, a market signal that is revenue-neutral and gives all the money back to the public. and i think our answer is, "yes, yes, we'll do that." so, we agree on the getaway car, we agree on the need for escape, and really the last political problem is how you get republicans through that kill zone that the fossil fuel industry has set up in congress. >> reporter: the fossil fuel i
