keith morrison: susan quit her job to be a full time mom, but susan kept trying to get pregnant, kept suffering through years of failed fertility treatments and miscarriages, and finally adopted a sister for christopher, melissa. she was and always has been a little angel. absolutely. she would probably be upset with me saying this, but she was pretty close to perfect. keith morrison: which seemed to describe the family, too. they told the kids they'd been adopted. didn't seem to worry them at all. my mom and my dad were my mom my dad. you know, there wasn't, you know, these are my biological and these are my adopted. and i had a great childhood. keith morrison: and there were advantages to having a brother seven years older, especially when he grew to be a six foot 200 pounder. he was my defender and my protector. you know, someone made fun of me at school one time. he came and he kind of gave the kid a stern look, what a big older brother did, and i think he was protective of me. keith morrison: after the murder, in fact, christopher resumed that protective role, this time for his f

it's a susan neiman pleasure to welcome -- it is a pleasure to welcome susan neiman back to the show,he director of the einsteinforum. she says this is a terrible decision which will only make the peace process heart appear the will to know it is not a decision supported by american jews, 75 percent of home are against it. alan posener is back with this. he is a commentator for the , and he says welt peace begins with the recognition of reality. he says most arabs do not recognize the existence of the jewish state, so how can they talk about peace? also with us, akram baker, who ofls trump's decision an act diplomatic arson. he says trump is willing to sacrifice not only palestinians but also the remnants of credibility the u.s. has as an evenhanded arbiter. we know that president trump often sees foreign and domestic policy as 1 -- america first -- faced scathing criticism from many people at home in the u.s., including, as you pointed out in your opening statement, many jewish groups. the association of reform groups, the largest jewish groups in the u.s. who does like this decision

susan: just four minutes left. roxana: are you worried democrats are going to be blamed and have to take the blame of the 2018. rep. smith: my focus is not on who gets the partisan blame. my focus is on governing the government properly. i think the democratic party will benefit if we present an intelligent approach to governing. i do think we should try and talk with republicans. but i don't blame leader pelosi or senator schumer for not wanting to show up, where the president says you guys are awful, terrible, and what you want is not anything we can talk about. at some point you have to say that is not a negotiation. we are not negotiating with a credible partner. i hope the president will say we know we have to work together on this, let's not prejudge anything. let's sit down and talk and see where we wind up. that is what needs to happen for negotiations the start. i am focused on the good of the country. the partisan blame i will leave to others. leo: i want to bring up military operations in africa. referre

susan collins, bob corker? >> those are the last two senators who have not announced or made clear they will vote yes. the if they vote no, republicans will have 50 votes, whether the vote is today or late tonight. as mitch mcconnell made clear, they are appear to have the votes. they are still trying to win over senator cowan's and they make concessions to her, including -- susan collins and they make concessions to her, including the concession for property taxes. bob corker seems less likely. they have the votes. vonnie: why bother giving her any more if it is not something that would attract support in the house during the reconciliation process? why give susan collins anymore, they have the votes? >> i guess they want a cushion. it would help to have 51 and you do not have to call the vice president. eating the $10,000 a sentient is important for a few house republicans who will hold the deciding vote in a goes back to the house in conference. it is a win-win situation for them. they will have to find the

susan: gentleman, 3 million signatures. let's face the reality of political structure and impeachment is constitutionally bound. where is the attitude on capitol hill? you talk about leadership pushing back on this, even though a small portion of the democratic caucus has managed to enlist support. about 30 members were so. where does it stand? darren: i think impeachment for now is off the table. i think the democrats, fall publicly the leadership is saying that don't want to be talking about impeachment, they know that will bring up some segment of their base in the 2018 midterms. that is part of the way they can hopefully capitalize on in order to take back the house. it is a huge plan to pull this off and there are a lot of people they will need. impeachment, while they are head nodding, they want a positive message about the economy and things they would do if they were in charge, no doubt if nancy pelosi or whomever becomes the next democratic leader, impeachment is a question they will face day in and day out if you

will continue to increase thank you so much susan harley and stephen walt your time and your expertise have a great day thank you for having. conservative commentator stephen colbert and deputy director publics of the congress watch we thank you for being with us and coming up as we go to the numbers at the final bell check it out. all see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free world cold and your bets have been alleged to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that much qualified for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.t. . recently had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call on that story as well as three. thousand zero zero zero zero. russia. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. michael flynn admits lying to the f.b.i. the reaction of russia gators and the liberal media is jubilation but why flints admission in fact deflates the now popul

susan: we have just three minutes left. darren: people do not necessarily know who tom steyer is outside of california. they have certainly seen a lot of commercials you have run, but your name recognition has increased. you're being recognized as you make your way through public spaces nowadays. president trump attacked you on twitter. nameabout your own recognition increasing with the underlying question which is if your running for president in 2020. that combination of those things and if you see your name recognition increasing. tom: let me say this. i'm one of the luckiest guys around. i'm lucky because i was born in the united states. i was born to a family that really took care of me. i got a great education. i'm a white male in a society are lots of people have been discriminated against in some way, shape or form not being that. i recognize how much luck i have. i also recognize this system is the product of literally hundreds of years of people sacrificing. and sacrificing in the most profound ways. thisk at myse

susan: absolutely.e other hand, the congresswoman who made the claims jackie speirer is a ranking democrat. it's not outside the realm of possibility the president will do something different than his aides say he will do. there are people telling him to fire mueller because they feel this whole investigation is nonsense, and it's politically biased. if you look at the reporting coming out. it looks like they are out to get him and people are saying stop the investigation. howie: mueller was appointed by the deputy attorney general who was appointed by donald trump. but i see the press refusing to take no for an answer. susan: the president has contradicted himself and contradicted his staff so many times. he undermined his staffers at times and that's why this is going on. howie: i think journalists want this to be true. the president has been talking about the republican civil war for years. we had two cases. roy moore lost in alabama. but it did seem to deeply divide the republican establishment. how

more conservative commentator steve malzberg in the deputy director of public citizens congress watch susan harley welcome to you both thank you for being here is such a busy time of year in general particularly with all of this move moving you get to see how some of the sausages been made inside washington d.c. the belly of the beast this last weekend scrawled additions to the last and last minute changes and even a few senators who say they didn't have time to even read the bill tax reform is passed both chambers and will we get a conference built i want both of your takes steve how about you first what do you think you've been positive on getting this done what do you think now yeah absolutely i mean there's a chance that the house my dad actually you know vote on the senate bill we'll see but i think there are some differences though you know i think the house will adopt the senate bill who said at the end of the obamacare mandate i think that's big of course that should have been a lot more of a problem in the senate then it would have been in the house because they already passed obam

this bill will pass it will be signed so and you're at the really apropos and you're right i mean susan collins of maine said that she was voting for the bill the other day but don't count on her for the final thing a susan what's your take on this thing that the american public is just now starting to understand the implications of death tax cut plan and they are highly concerned with the fact that this is again for the raid to the one percent that corporate donors. class to multinational corporations that are quite profitable and no one wants to see that be paid for on the backs of working americans and that's exactly what this plan is seeking to do and one of the points i think that we really need to talk about is that repeal of the affordable care act mandate and this would push thirteen million americans out of the insurance market and make premiums go up for everyone else and that is not the sort of outcome that americans are willing to have and so the fights are just starting and i know that there's going to be action all across the country this week and so there is still a momen

so susan we know that president trump often sees foreign and domestic policy as one america first but he's faced pretty scathing criticism from many many people at home in the u.s. including as you pointed out in your opening statement many jewish groups reform association of reform jews the largest jewish group in the u.s. so who does like this decision whom is it aimed at that's a great question melinda because most people don't know this and if i didn't i would suspect the lie that you know basically comes from the protocols of the elders of zion that jews run the world does run the united states and that's why u.s. policy towards israel has been so one sided on the contrary the main people who support this are the largest part of trump's base american even. christians and they supported for a reason that will sound crazy looked at for the out from the outside they believe in the apocalypse they believe that armageddon has to happen in the middle east if they believe that there has to be a gigantic war there at the end of which the messiah will come and all the jews who haven't con

gorge, edward. >> good morning, susan.iginal mandate within the affordable care act. now, that mandate required all of us to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. the reason that part can be repealed is because it lives within the tax code. so when the republican tax plan passed, it removed that mandate. just that specific mandate. >> edward, does the president think he's going to be able to repeal all of the affordable care act next year? >> you know, aaron, that's something that the president wants to do. he said numerous times that he believes that health care will be overhauled on twitter. even saying that republicans and fix the health care system. the president, again, saying a few days ago that he believes health care should be a top priority in the next year. he believes it will get done. we'll have to see if republicans or democrats come together to actually do it. >> edward lawrence on the hill this morning. edward being thank you. a last minute rush to prepay 2018 property taxes before the end of this year

susan rice has a lot to say about mr.able "america first" national security strategy. the former national security advisor wrote a scathing new op-ed, here's the tidbit. relinquishing the nation's moral authority in these times will only embolden rivals and weaken ourselves. it will make a mockery of the very idea of america first. from what i recall, the obama administration strategy to keep america out of danger did not exactly turn out so well. so, what do you make of those strong statement, strong wording? >> jesse: not prosecuted rescur ambassador in benghazi was not "america first" ." >> kimberly: or the rest of the americans that were there. >> jesse: leading from behind is not putting america first. that is what happen under obama and susan rice. irani and scott ritter, north korea moved up, isis took over a rack, russia took over the ukraine, syrian dictator gassing, china was left on contract. donald trump comes in and corrects every single one of these things. around deal in the cross hairs, sanctions on north

. >> i'm susan hogan in for eun yang. don't worry, we're not talking about any major accumulations but it could still impact or day. >> our crew is working for you to get you there safely. let's start with chuck bell. >> winter weather advisory until 11:00 a.m. for the far north parts of the d.c. area. loudoun county, frederick county. the broad view shows the deep moisture is way down to our south but there is a little bit of moisture here coming across west virginia and into the northern parts of the state of maryland here. not going to bring a whole lot of snow, but it might be enough to coat the ground here from about winchester to the northern parts of loudoun county, frederick maryland, upper montgomery county could see up to maybe half an inch or an inch. very cold so anything that comes down will stick slightly. here's the advisory. in effect until 11:00 a.m. out of here by 8:00 a.m. may get to pull the advisory down a little bit early. >>> for more on the current conditions in the great outdoors, let's go to sama

there was the promise senate majority leader mitch mcconnell made susan collins. that is a promise, wolf, that will be unfulfilled. senator susan collins and senator lamar zandalexander put out a statement earlier today saying because of the state of the short-term funding process, they will now not try to push forward on that. they recognize house republicans are deeply opposed to the idea, were threatening to potentially have a government shutdown over the idea itself. they are now pulling back. wolf, they will try again in january. but, again, this underscores the point. senator susan collins supported the tax bill in large part because of this promise. and as of this moment, she's not going to get what she asked for, wolf. >> and she said, in that statement, she was promised by the majority leader that he would support passage of these two important pieces of legislation before the end of the year, to mitigate these increases. all right, so we're going to get back to that. congress still, also, as you know, phil, has to address this looming government shutdown

senators like susan collins don't want to do these things on a bipartisan basis. senators, itwo will not happen on a partisan basis. there is a dispute, a fight inside the republican party for what to do next year, how hard to go at the affordable care act again, how articulate things like work requirements for food stamps, something conservatives really want to do. it is something that it is very hard to see a path to passing in the senate, and it could make republicans very unpopular in certain segments, allowing democrats to say you just past this big tax cut, and now you're going to take food away from poor people. expect that to be a fight between now and the present giving the state of the union. -- president giving the state of the union. i think a lot of republicans are looking to the president to set the agenda and see if he is really going to push these things or bipartisan deals. the number one bipartisan deal out there is infrastructure. about aties want to do $1 trillion infrastructure package. host: we are talking to stephen dennis of bloomberg news.

susan, let me start with you. what struck you most about the conference?ertainly to me, the references to trump personally and the democrats were pretty unusual. >> well, i think they were extraordinarily unusual. vladimir putin often talks about the press in the year-end conferences to bash them or accuse the united states of encircling russia. he definitely has not used it as a platform in the past for praising the president of the united states for the good performance of the american stock market. and it was so directly on theme with the kind of message that donald trump is usually tell in us about himself. it was as if they had coordinated. >> luke, and then trump's phone call back to him. it all -- it felt bizarre, as if this was a kind of personal bond and very partisan one. putin attacked the democrats. >> yes. this is one of the great mysteries of the 21st century, why is donald trump so nice to vladimir putin, chatting on the phone, agreeing on everything when he's so rude about practically every other world leader, including theresa may and grea

susan del percio, as we look at the potential cross-examination that mccabe could offer, we also have james baker, as you know, who's being reassigned at the fbi, the chief counsel there, and he being a second corroborator -- potential corroborating witness of james comey's testimony about that alleged meeting happening there in the white house with james comey. is this going to be an issue of obstruction later on as potentially garrett haake was saying? >> well, we don't know. it very well could be. it sounds like it. we also know that donald trump's m.o. is to go after people he thinks are in his path of what he wants, or potentially in the path of condemning him to a charge. but it's just so disheartening to see the president on christmas eve to go after an fbi officer, a public servant who's put in nearly 30 years to our country, and it's time for donald trump to start worrying about the country first, not himself first. >> it's also james comey who we're talking about, right, in the middle of this question of the russian connection question, and he is tweeting, and potentially in

susan, starting with you.claimed that he was just trying to parrot a statement from another trump attorney ty cobb even though his statement had no mention he was fired. how big of a blunder is this? >> the real question isn't who wrote the tweet. it's whether or not the substance is accurate? the real question is what did donald trump know on february 14th at the time that he instructed former fbi director comey to see if he can let michael flynn go? did he know there had been the existence of a federal crime? some say the president didn't personally put that in his own words, that means it can't be attributed to trump. on the other hand a lawyer who has lots of knowledge regarding what happened decided that was the way to phrase this might raise the possibility this is a legally significant statement. >> yeah. michael, i want to show you another tweet from the president. he has tweeted many times in the past 24 hours writing i never asked comey to stop investigating flynn. just more fake news covering anothe

susan is like many other susans out there, previously they have not always had this tool to be able tohcare, but now, with their mobile phone, they are able to do this. hello, welcome to the week in tech. it was the week pokemon go announced it would be adding weather effects to mimic the real world, and plans for a sad poop emoji were flushed away. and facebook released a new chat app for children under 13. messenger kids has parental controls, and facebook says it will not collect data or display ads on the service. critics warn it could get kids addicted sooner. nissan plans to launch robot taxis in japan. they will be summoned via an app from march next year. and electric black cabs were launched in london, in an attempt to improve air quality. however, some say the extra £10,000 cost to buy one may put cabbies off going green. over 31 million users? data was leaked after third—party smartphone keyboard app ai.type left a database without password protection. it allowed access to phone numbers, e—mail addresses, and text typed using the keyboard. and finally, the mona lisa has been

susan do you think that this move by donald trump saudi arabia has said a few somewhat strict things since he made the announcement do you think that this could cool off that budding friendship between donald trump and his sword dancing hosts look i'm not privy to what they say to each other in private so i have absolutely no idea i agree with alan and that the interest of the palestinians has always come last on these leaders played so so i don't know. i really do want to say something though because you didn't identify me in the in the beginning i am not just a jew i am also a citizen of the state of israel where i lived for five years and was professor at tel aviv university and i am saying this as someone who not only knows something about the middle east but is some one who is committed to being a jew and committed to there being a just peace and the existence of the state of israel but i'm a jew who goes back to the prophets. and thinks about universal justice which has been sorely missed. singh in the state of israel for a very long time so thank you very much and in fact isra

we also have comments from susan collins, one of the holdouts. will announce her decision in a few hours on the tax bill but good progress being made. this is a few moments ago. thatof the provisions susan collins was holding out for are now in the bill. shery: that was about the salt tax the reduction, the state and local tax reductions. susan collins wanted them. and a cap in the property taxes and the senate bill could include that. it may be included. holdingllins has been out because you want separate legislation to support individual health care mandate. vonnie: of the eight senators we did not know, five we knew change their

mcmaster, susan? susan: thank you, david. i would begin with a little bit of humility, recognizing that it is a tough job that h.r. mcmaster has. and arguably more difficult in the current context than even i faced. i would say several things. first of all, i would encourage him to do his utmost, as i imagine he's trying to do, to affect a higher degree of message discipline within the administration. one of the challenges we have seen is we have different members of the senior leadership team at different times saying quite divergent things on very important and sensitive issues. that is not only a function of the president and his tweeting that sometimes seems divorced from what i believe has been considered policy, but also even within the cabinet, at times we hear different things for example from the u.n. ambassador then we hear from the secretary of state or the secretary of defense, and in a time when our leadership is being questioned, and when our stability and consistency is being questioned, having greater message

david: doesn't this work again susan collins?oatill have to make her on texas before she knows she will get the other bill. frankly, mitch mcconnell may be in the senate, he is not in the house. in the tax already negotiations wheeling and dealing. if we have to take the and eventual -- individual mandate are the pill to get her vote because they won't get it done in time, they are are ready planning. it is a way we can find revenue to make our plan work. they don't want to do that, but it is a possibility and they are planning a contingency plan. sherry: what about contingency plans for the spending bill? what happens after the 22nd? >> there are a couple different options. one is a couple weeks continuing to january and maybe a continuing resolution. the freedom caucus wants more time to figure out. they could also split defense and nondefense and fund the military and defense spending later in the year and figure out more of the discretionary spending on a short-term basis. there are a lot of the negotiation's that need to hap

susan collins wants things that would shore up the affordable care act markets. that's something to be negotiated. also children's health insurance. disaster relief. the opening bid in the senate is what the house passed, which is $81 billion, but last night ted cruz was on the senate floor saying he wants a lot more money for texas. expect to see senators from other states asking for more money. that could easily top a hundred billion dollars. and then of course you have the underlying package to keep the government open for the rest of the fiscal year and that involves a big deal on caps. there's bipartisan agreement to increase those caps a lot. potentially as much as a quarter, trillion dollars, or close to it over two years. and that is something that's been in the works but these bipartisan negotiations have essentially been on hold until the tax bill was done and that's why it's not ready to go at the end of this year in time for christmas. and, instead, they hope to have it done by the end of january and maybe kicking the can one more time down the road t

susan collins made it clear she's still waiting before she makes a final decision. i think others are in the same position. jeff flake, for example, of arizona, made it clear that bringing up this issue about daca and dreamers is critical to his vote when it comes to tax. so, i can't assume where the republicans will end but they have an awful lot to accomplish in a very short period of time. >> dickerson: you mentioned daca, let's just go up on the side road there on that. number of your democratic supporters, colleagues would like you the democrat to basically make funding of the government to keep the government running would like you to make it contingent on doing something about daca, will you? >> i can tell think, we don't want to see the government shut down. we want to move forward bipartisan fashion to solve our problems. we believe that daca is central. the president is the one who made this issue september the 5th he eliminated the daca program and put in doubt the future of over 780,000 people in america. and we want to get this done and accomplished. 4

matt: susan, thanks very much. susan munden giving us the outlook.ou about one of the first things i thought about. a lot of people are on the cusp of decision. is it the right time? is it a bad idea with the uncertainty?is it something you stay away from ? timothy: i think the price correction in residential price property in the big cities probably has further to run, looking at house prices relative to income levels. it is particularly squeezed given the real wage squeeze. that will alleviate as inflation rolls over. it might also improve due to a shortage of labor as we talked about more particularly. the time for investing might be a few years down the road, but the near-term carries a lot of uncertainty. guy: what about the flipside of all of this? berlin has been booming. you see property prices going up in key german cities. enough to go to certain key places. it is happening. is it a play on europe? property uplift given the fact that rates remain as low as they are? timothy: i can see how that is possible, given that historically, property

it may not be noticeable in the index, for example, but it sure will be noticeable to some. >> susan, thank you very much. we may be moving to pennsylvania. >> you're welcome, love to have you. >> susan wapner with the university of pennsylvania's wharton school of business. >>> unitedhealth expands its reach, it will buy the kidney care company davida for just under $5 billion, adding more than 300 clinics and urgent care centers in several stays. unitedhealth is off a fraction. davida took open, shares there at $69.20. >>> madrigal pharmaceuticals said its experimental drug for treating a chronic liver disease that could lead to liver failure or cancer performed well during a study, when compared to a placebo. shares of the biotech company skyrocketed 88% to $87.18. >>> speaking of taxes, h amp r block reported stronger than examined revenue gains. the company's loss was also smaller than analysts expected. shares of h aefrp rchlt popped . >>> brown-forman says strong sales the jack daniels whiskey and tequila helped overall revenue rise. the company is raising its full year earning

lauren: that was susan rice saying the 2012 benghazi attack was prompted by anti-muslim video. the former ambassador writing op-ed in "new york times," calling out president trump's foreign policy. entitled, when america is no longer a global force for good. we have the director of defense study, center for national interest. harry, she downplayed is what she says credible? >> absolutely not. i think "the new york times" made a big mistake here. they shouldn't have put this in the op-ed section. they should have put this in the cartoon section because it is hysterical. for an administration that created some problems in the world, look at the challenges the trump administration has to now pick up? north korea is obviously the biggest challenge. today, at the u.n. security council the trump administration has had to push forward another u.n. security council resolution to try to rein in a nuclear program that the obama administration had eight years to tackle. i don't think any obama administration official should be writing op-eds. this is ridiculous. lauren: she also wrote, re

. >> let me go to susan and get your thoughts. your our national security and legal analyst.a attorney. under the agreement for him, in early november that he wouldn't go to jail right away pending the trial, prosecutors said he had to refrain from making statements to the media or in public settings that posed a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case. if he's working on an editorial with russians and ukrainians, that seems like he was making statements to the media. >> right. certainly this could be considered a violation of the gag order. we'll see what the judge decides. you know, again and again we've seen in the conduct of lots of individuals related to the trump team they appear to really not comprehend the gravity of their situation. that they are facing substantial legal peril here. and so, you know, this is just another sort of piece of evidence that somehow whether it's tone from the top or just, you know, their own shared personal instincts, they really appear to not be getting ow serious a situation this is for them personally at this point. >>

and robert ran with it at that point and went out and found the writer susan who is fabulous and startedn putting it together as screen play and first iteration was actually television, it was a short moment and then we looked at it and we thought, you know what, let's -- let's take a big leap that we can put this out in the theaters and that it's going to work at the feature and we took what was tv script and we completely reworked it into a feature script and, you know, compact it into a 90-minute piece. >> thank you, paula. [applause] >> yes. >> we will move to robert. robert, when you saw that and i know just because i know, we went and jumped through a lot of different hoops and went down a lot of different roads, why don't you talk about some of those and talk about how the mob got involved as well.
