scott adams said it best. a 71-year-old man is making the press look old.amazing. >> jesse: they look like they are whining and complaining. >> dana: jeff bezos says you basically have to evolve or die. he's talking about it from a business perspective. it's true that the media hasn't quite caught up. there is a new paradigm. you have to figure out a way to shift. it doesn't mean you have to lose your principles. i love the news. i love reading it and being a part of it. i get a chance to work in it. it's the best. i love that our country has a first amendment. i think it's made it so fabulous. i do think that's one of the things our country should be talking about around the world. it doesn't mean that journalism can't actually hold itself up to a higher standard. it should do that. the constant, the truth is, any of those reporters they want to make the news -- he would have asked that same question. that was the top story yesterday. they always want to talk about themselves. he says he interviewed to be press secretary, talking back then about making a c

scott adams, who created dilbert, has thought a lot about this.ia, it's not even a close contest between which poses a larger threat. why is our focus on russia? >> what people care about are other people. they care about characters. the russia story has all kinds of characteristics. north korea has one character and he's literally hiding. he's no good to us. stories about hardware and this missile is better. it sounds like we've heard the story because it's the same story. well, north korea launched another missile. i guess we're not doing much about it. that's the whole story. but with russia, we've got all the elements for a better story. but with the russia thing, we think, this new revelation, this new thing, something is going to happen. but it has one important element that you need for a story to really have heat and energy, and that is a lot of people who see this story, not all of them but a lot of them look at it and say, "that couldn't possibly be true." and there's actually a psychological phenomenon that explains that. so the less tr

because what you saw, the argument with scott adams was trump manages to berg persuasive by pulling thingsfactual basis. but here in this case, there's no question, he is playing of your car that appeals to people emotionally. >> i fear ms-13 two. people are getting their heads chopped off with machetes. >> 175% of the illegal immigrants that they have detained have been convicted criminals of things like assault, homicide. nobody is arguing that. >> with the reality is, you have more to fear from people who are american citizens. that's fine. you can hold two competing thoughts. you can dislike american criminals and dislike illegal immigrant criminals. what you'ree doing wrong is your conflating a dislike for illegal immigrants with immigrants. trump is an anti-illegal immigrant. there's a difference. because there is a different but not with trump because he's trying to cut back on all kinds of immigration and, although he broke a zone where the other and issued more visas. >> there you go. the gop's skinny obamacare rebel effort failed overnight after john mccain sat in the deciding no

aubrey is between -- adam scott is between us and she leans over.ittle sebastian." >> seth: yeah. >> so aubrey leans over and she goes, "you want to make out during the song?" [ light laughter ] >> whoa. >> yeah. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> why not? >> seth: why not? >> why wouldn't i? so then i was getting a little nervous. but you know, i learned something from rob lowe, who has made out with everybody. >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ] >> you know, literally, probably most of the people out here. >> seth: made a career of it. >> he's made a career -- read his book. he has made out with everybody. so he said to me, 'cause i don't get those roles. i am the character actor who -- i don't get the girl. that never happens. so he said, when you go in for the kiss, if you notice her mouth opens a little, then can you reciprocate. if she is giving you pressure, you can give pressure back. and then if the tongue comes in, let's hit it. >> seth: got i >> i got to tell you, aubrey had the tongue in my mouth and, boom, we hit it. >> seth: and it was great

connell: our guys, scott and kevin, been here listening in on the conversation with the congressman and also to adam shapiro's report before that. scott, i will go to you first. i don't know if anything will get done or not. adam says there are still challenges hire. for market guys like you, you look at this when they promised to repeal obamacare we thought many taxes were going away with it. some are but some aren't. that was supposed to kick off our conversation about tax reform. you have the 3.8% net income investment tax i may be saying. what do you think of that? >> seeing more taxes come back into play, connell, to assuage some of the doubters in congress to vote for this thing. you're right. we talked about health care reform kind of easy -- donald trump this was day one, repeal and replace. not happening. behind that was regulatory reform on business an personal side. to see these problems at every level, at every turn occurring in just health care alone really casts doubt to me thinking about stocks prices here and high levels they're at as well as some things we were promised behind this

scott thank you. we know you'll stay on this. adam? >>> right now prince george's county police are still searching for the gunman who shot and killed a man on the beltway. adriana longbray was behind the wheel on saturday night when he got shot multiple times by somebody in a moving vehicle. this happened on the outer loop. he was just 15 minutes away from his home in upper marlboro. his wife tells us that police tell her road rage might have been behind the shooting. he is e killed in what may be road rage attacks here in rerent weeks. first police say in fairfax, her death was a tragic case of road rage. she was killed heading back if her mosque. in past -- from her mosque. in pennsylvania 18-year-old bianca robberson was shot to death last week, the man accused of killing her didn't want her to merge into a lane of traffic. ileana diaz with more now on the psychology behind road rage and what you can do to keep calm behind the wheel. >> reporter: we have all seen it and let's be real. most of us experienced it often. old rage. >> b

adam entes, one of the three names in the biline of "the washington post" story. for his part he has financially supported her organization, the american union fund. also with us scott jennings, maria cardona and jason miller. so adam, first of all, i just want to focus with you. the report about the attorney general, just explain what you are reporting tonight. what's the story? >> so, you know, we reported back in march that when sessions appeared before the senate judiciary committee and was asked the question about, frankly, al franken didn't really ask him that question, but his answer was that he didn't have any contact, communications with the russians, we found out that wasn't the case, that there was a meeting at the rnc on the sidelines of the rnc that he had a meeting with kislyak, and that there was a second meeting in his office in september. we subsequently learned that they were kislyak and sessions attended the same event in april where trump gave his first foreign policy speech. >> i recall. >> we were trying to figure out what were the contents of these contacts? what they discussing? so, you know, sessions specifically said he did not discuss camp

melissa: adam, thank you for that. kevin kelly, scott martin are back with us. scott, why don't we cut all of it right now? >> i would love to, melissa. i'm getting nervous about tax reform, i have to be honest. this is first batted about, it would be easy bipartisan effort. obviously things deteriorated from there. but i will tell you, the goal here is the following. you have got to get past all the revenue neutral bs. you have to got past this worry about exploding the deficit, reality, there will be short-term pain. long-term gain. benefit to the consumer and u.s. economy and lower taxes and lower regulation will bring. they have to let it get through. melissa: yeah, kevin, what do you think about that is. >> i don't nod why they are focusing so much on health care. they should have started with tax cuts to get the economy started. could have focused on tax reform then. or also health care reform but tax reform. this is critical and important especially for small businesses. this will get the economy driving big businesses, have done exceptionally well. they'

adam, hang tight for a second because, scott, here's the thing, right. does not care, he says about political optics. zero pinocchios on that. he clearly doesn't care. should he when how this is perceived by the people in his state that adam are talking about? >> a couple things about that. he may be saying that now and a lot of evidence in the past that chris christie does care deeply about political optics. after he was elected governor of new jersey, he made his national rise on the back of some very professionally packaged videos of his town hall appearances around the states where he got in some notable confrontitations with constituents. he was willing to speak truth but also i think that's evidence that he does care a lot about optics. secondly, i'm baffled that this is happening in the middle of his lieutenant governor running for election this november to succeed him. christie's running mate has been forced to disavow him going to the beach in a middle of a hard-fought race democrat phil murphy she is currently trailing in the polls. >> how much

two—time breaststroke champion adam peaty dragged britain back into contention with a stunning second leg but ultimately the americans proved too strong as scottto that and it hurt like something else but having these boys on the backend iam but having these boys on the backend i am grateful and lucky to be part of this team some glad i made it to the end of the week. james, within one second of the americans, it is one second of the americans, it is on for a gold medal in a few years' time? yes, three years' time, it is such a small team coming through, we are getting faster and faster each year, a great end to the week. the worlds richest one day cycle race was decided by a sprint. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. a service to mark 100 years since the battle of passchendaele is under way in belgium this evening. the duke and duchess of cambridge, and the prime minister theresa may, are among those attending. passchendaele was one of the bloodiest confrontations of the first world war, with almost half a million allied and german soldiers being killed during three months of fighting. our correspondent ben brown is in

adam shapiro on the floor with us right now. the republican senator tim scott. i hope you are doing well. on this measure that you know of it how do you feel. i think we have made significant improvements in three major categories. it will preserve and save medicaid. you can choose to head insurance or not because of the end of the individual in mandate. it estimates that if 30% drop in premium as our plan kicks in in 2020. there are things very attractive in the bill but as you know we are one vote away from the straw that breaks the camels back. even to consider how to improve the existing form of the belt. now what ever concessions as you know better than i were made to win over moderates. there are enough moderates still annoyed at that they're not coming on board. the fact that some of the taxes. the upper investment on income. who earn over $25,000. that chase. what you say. there is no doubt that those two taxes that you just described our worth $240 billion that should never been a part of that in the beginning the question is do you tackle that now. in

adams, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, chairwoman foxx and ranking member scott for convening this hearing, and thank you to those of you testified today. i want to emphasize one of the main points that mr. lovell mention in his testimony that essa is at heart a civil rights law. federal government has an important role to play in ensuring equity in education for our children and while states have wide discretion and flexibility to determine how success is measured, the federal government sets the standard for success. so it's especially true in historically underprivileged groups. so mr. lovell, states have a discussion to create and define the metrics used for consistent underperformance. in your analysis of state essa plans how are states defining consistently underperforming, and do you think this equity guard rail in the lot is being executed as intended to ensure schools struggling to meet the needs of underserved students are identified and supported to improve? >> thanks very much for your question. i think this is one of the most important provisions in the law, if we are begin find kids here are c
