you cannot have a situation where the trump administration, president trump says one thing and their attorney general goes to court to do the opposite. you cannot orav should not havea situation r where republican senators get upn and say we need to expand health care for people and then they say not a peep when their own president tries to strip it away from them. president trump says the republican party wants to be the party of health care? well,we i say god help the midde class if republicans are the party of health care. what, dare i ask, is their plan? let me ask leader mcconnell and every republican senator. and i hope their constituents will ask them too, because this is the numberhe one issue across the country. we should ask our republican friends and the president, what's your plan to deal with prescription drug costs? costs are an all-time high. instead they're supporting this lawsuit which would impose billions of dollars in prescription drug costs on seniors. we ask president trump and skleader mcconnell, what's your plan to get more people covered on high quality healt

now apparently that is back on indivisibles to do list with the trump administration given the trump ministration's new effort in court to stop defending the affordable care act to try to eliminate the wall all together. this new initiative from the trump administration, which was revealed late last night would result in tens of millions of americans losing their health insurance. they are setting this up as the fight they want to have between now and the president's reelection in 2020. we got more on that story coming up. stay with us. >>> in the middle of everything else going on, the white house announced they want to talk away health care from tens of millions of americans. they will no longer defend any part of obamacare in the courts. they want to kill the whole thing. ending that wall will throw 21 million americans off their health insurance. ending that law will mean 133 million americans can be thrown off their coverage or denied coverage because they have a preexisting condition of some kind ending that law means that young americans will no longer be able to stay on their

as the trump administration was trying to haul the affordable care act out back of the barn. approach to try to kill it, house democrats were simultaneously announcing their own plan to strengthen obamacare, to make the coverage better and more affordable for more people. democrats ran on this last year more than they ran on anything else. they won on this. and now they are working on this and the trump administration has just gotten more aggressive against the affordable care act, against health insurance coverage that people have been enjoying in this country now for years than they have ever been before. joining us now is congresswoman lauren underwood. she's a registered nurse. she's a newly elected member of congress. she's a democrat from illinois. she ran strongly on support for the affordable care act. congresswoman underwood, it's a real pleasure to have you with us here. thanks for making time for us tonight. >> thank you so much. >> you are one of the new members of congress who ran ex-bless italy on strengthening and saving obamacare. last year before you were swo

certain actions by the trump administration will work out. it assumes that going after a lot of abuse in the system will end up saving bonds -- funds. it assumes that drug payments that happen in hospitals will go through. if you look at different analyses, it is all about the politics. if you look at different analyses, they would say that this has little impact on patient access, although hospitals argue that if they get lower paces -- payments, how will they provide the care. host: do doctors have the same kind of reaction? guest: it depends if they work in a hospital or private practice, because that will impact their ability to receive payments. host: the first call from virginia. you are on. caller: my concern is based on the policy that the trump administration is going after. they want their money for the stupid wall. so the people with medicare and medicaid, and social security are the dems of -- vic them -- victims of the scam. why did they not negotiate prices for medicare patients? eful lot ofave an aw money doing that. i know you

democratic presidential campaign strategists believe that the trump administration has just handed them their most effective campaign policy strategy against president trump. one of the jobs of the attorney general and the justice department is to defend the federal government's position in litigation. but not anymore. that's not what the trump justice department does now. the justice department has almost always defended the government's position even when it is an inherited policy position from a previous administration. but last night attorney general william barr authorized the justice department to switch sides, in effect, in a case involving the affordable care act instead of defending the government's position, the donald trump justice department is now supporting the other side of the litigation that would completely dismantle the affordable care act, taking health insurance away from 21 million people. here is speaker nancy pelosi's reaction today to the trump administration's attempt once again to completely repeal the affordable care act this time through the courts. >> the g

i think the trump administration has gotten quite a bit of blowback for the president's past comments on women and hiring minorities within the white house. and we do know that ivanka trump has really championed women, especially women in entrepreneurship. so, i think this is the president kind of supporting his daughter, if you will, while at the same time trying to push this message forward of supporting women, because we know that has been a bit of a weak spot in terms of the trump administration. >> yeah, but do you think the ivanka component will make a big deal or people will look beyond that to just the female component here? >> no, i think the ivanka component absolutely plays a role in this. you know, ivanka trump is already under fire along with her husband, jared kushner, for getting essentially special treatment, perhaps, in terms of her security clearance and her husband's security clearance, so i think that definitely plays into that, and potential

government trump administration policy. that deposition with scott lloyd was released in february of last year as the lawsuit was still ongoing. then in april, "the new york times" reported something that began to shed a little bit of light on how that policy was carried out. "the new york times" reported that scott lloyd, quote, has instructed his staff to give him a spreadsheet each week that tells him about any unaccompanied minors who have asked for an abortion and how far along they are in their pregnancy. in at least one case, he directed staff to read to one girl a discrimination of what happens during an abortion. and when there is a need for counselling, mr. lloyd's office calls on someone from its list of preferred life affirming pregnancy resource centers. so he was keeping a spreadsheet with details that amount to a record of pregnant teens' menstrual cycles and he was using that information individualized to these individualized girls, teenagers, and some of them younger, to block them from accessing abortions

the trump administration was already in violation of the reporting requirement, which the white house ignored as a deadline came and went last may. the bureau of investigative journalism reports president trump has further accelerated the u.s. drone assassination program, with over 2200 drone strikes during trump's first two years in office, more than occurred over eight years under president obama. in news from yemen, a major new report from several human rights groups details the role that the u.s. and europe have played in the deaths of hundreds of civilians in the u.s.-backed, saudi and uae-led war on yemen. the report found that between april 2015 and april 2018, 27 coalition attacks killed at least 203 civilians and injured at least 749 people. at least 22 of the attacks likely involved weapons produced in the united states. we'll have more on the report later in the broadcast. in syria, kurdish-led forces backed by the united states say they captured 400 isis fighters wednesday who were fleeing the group's last stronghold in eastern syria. their reported capture came as 2000 ci

any attention at all to trump trade war stuff, one of the things you should know that the trump administration appears poised to do and soon is that the president is apparently getting ready to make a unilateral presidential decision to hike up the price of cars by several thousand dollars each. president trump has reportedly received from his commerce department a report that he requested which gives him a national security pretext that lays out some sort of legalistic national security justification that is designed to allow him to make a solo decision to put big new taxes on imported cars, which would make them thousands of dollars more expensive. politico reported today on the content of that secret report that has already been given to the white house. the content of that report has been speculated about for a long time. it seemed pretty clear that this was the direction that trump was going with this, but now politico today reports not only has that secret report been delivered to the white house, but it does, as expected, give the president this national security pretext that he needs t

she's going to be joining us later on this hour to talk about that decision by the trump administration and what it means going forward, what's going to happen here in washington from here on out. >>> also today with a vote in the house that failed to override trump's first presidential veto, the trump administration also signalled that they plan to proceed with plans to take away money from the u.s. military to instead pay for president trump's wall between the u.s. and mexico. that said, the democratic chairman of the armed services committee in the house, congressman adam smith, today denied a request to take funds that congress had appropriated to the army for other purposes to instead spend those monies on a wall, which means in addition to all the states and other entities that are suing trump over him declaring this emergency to allow him to build

>> i think that the trump administration just can't take a hint. you are absolutely correct, rachel, that the american people clearly spoke in the november elections when they sent me and my colleagues here to protect our health care coverage and make it more affordable. their actions last night were uncalled for and they are really alarming because we know this touches the lives of so many americans around the country counting on this really

wikileaks and assange behind was then attorney general jeff sessions, who has since left the trump administrationobama administration tried to create theories to say that wikileaks did more than just passively received documents from chelsea manning and then publish them, because they knew they had to do that to prosecute wikileaks. otherwise, how do you prosecute wikileaks and justify that? obama, they searched high and low for evidence that wikileaks participated in chelsea manning's taking of those documents but found no evidence. oath thatied under she acted alone and they played no role whatsoever in her dedecision to do that. y yearsdenly, seven later, mike pomompeo claims that they havave evidenence or that y believe that wikileaeaks told hr to do it, therefore they intend to prosecute wikileaks. unfortunately, between the republicans who have exposed the -- who hatef wikileaks because of exposing war crimes and democrats who hate wikileaks because of harmful documents a reflected poorly on hillary clinton and the democratic party, very few people are willing to stand up to this very serio

the trump administration has used it to go after some pretty awful characters. including some people we were looking at hard in the obama administration. bad actors in africa. with blood on their hands. not good people. how do you -- what do you make of both the irony of the trump administration embracing a human rights sanctions tool and what do you think of their -- of its implementation so far? all sanctions tools can be used badly or misused. >> i have to confess, dan, in my private life i haven't followed all of the instances in which the global mag has been used. i do think that it is important for sanctions to be a tool that is available when there are appropriate times to protest human rights violations. what i don't know is how effective they are, whether it's people who come to the united states who do business with the united states or how symbolic they are. unfortunately, with many instances of using sanctions, when there are human rights violations, it ends up being more an expression of policy view than something that can effectively change behavior

the trump administration issued at least seven authorizations allowing u.s.ls without any guarantee that information won't be used to develop a nuclear weapons program. alex reports. it is one of the most strained and pif toll moments. saudi arabia to receive american unclassified civil nuclear technology just five months after saudi journalist was killed. u.s. intelligence agencies believe the order came from crown prince. if they go to russia and china for their nuclear partners i can assure you that those two countries don't give a tinkers. >> it contained energy. saudi arabia has no nuclear weapons for now. they say it could change if iran builds them. by law they must agree to control to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon. so far saudi arabia has not agreed to those conditions. >> it appears this is an end run around the law. zb secretary of state pompeo grilled about the authorizations on capitol hill. >> we treated iran like an enemy. if saudi arabia and held bent on developing a program that is uncontrolled and designed to make them a nucle

overallreflected of an trump administration. last year the u.s.ithdrew from the united natations human righs council as well and is to resistance over 20 requests by special repertoires of the united nations looking into reticular issues of human rights violations here. but this is a step further. this is not just refusing to cooperate. this is actually punishing people who are trying to get to the facts of what has happened. in terms of what can be done in response by the international community to what in essence is the united states saying no one has a right to judge what we do abroad. >> first of all, let's start with was secretary pompeo said. he said it is an attack on our sovereignty. i don't think anyone a attacked u.s. sovereignty. it was afghanistan sovereignty that has been the subject to jurisdiction because afghanistan joined the icc in may 2003 and agreed if there would be war crimes or genocide, the worst crimes defined under the icc statute or their treaty, they would be jurisdiction for t the court. so it is not an issue of u.s. s

amy: david cay johnston, you can generally raised over the last years ofof the trump administration andhe decades before, the corruption of donald trump. now't you concerned now that he has been, in his own words, exonerated, although mueller did not exactly say that when it came to obstruction of justice, but when it came to collusion he absolutely exonerated him. that the issues you have raised be able to, you will be taken seriously about them because donald trump will move forward with new moral force because he says he is been victimized for the last few years, since he became president, by this investigation by man he claimeded to have hatd who ultimately vindicated him. amy.ll, indeed, i suspecect one has not read my books. my trilogy on the american explains why men like donald trumpmp could rise becaue of government policies nobody knew about until i spent years putting them out, showing how we are picking the pockets of american citizens and transferring money upward to other people. even people that understand that note economics today or worse than in the 1960's. i was in th

this ia huge political risk for the trump administration.is stepping on the president's lines -- this is not the first time that when the president has a really good day -- you have the special counsel's report, michael avenatti, one of his great critics, being arrested. you would think he would sit back andstatch tv. ead this drops and sucks the oxygen out of the room. laura: the president says he will deliver on health care, but will the court consider that the trump administration tried to get congress to repeal obaman're but they 't? jonathan: well, it will, but the biggest issue for the court is what is being argued the trump administration. when obamacare was svied on the inal mandate, the chief justic said we can't tear this out because the act wildie. the individual mandate was struck down. basically t trump administration is calling into account what he said. how this will play out is unclear, but what is clear is that republicans will not ju o have the deapublic health care. they want to come forward and rescue the nation with thei

the trump administration is absolutely, as i think you know, laser focused on reducing regulatory and administrative and compliance burden. and like all of you as a researcher and a former vice president for research, i know how important this is, and how much it impacts our researchers directly. the insidious thing about research administrative burd than is unnecessary, it steals the intellectual resources from a human being. and this is not something you can really monetize. i think even doing so is sort of discrediting researchers. but as a meteorologist, being discredited is something i'm used to, so i went ahead and monetized it anyway. it turns out, and these aren't my numbers but i talked to various folks, who have made guesstimates about how much money is going to, is basically wasted, you talk about waste, fraud and abuse, wasted on unnecessary administrative burdens tand runs into a few billion a year that can be recaptured if we are successfully able to reduce these unnecessary burdens. this is something that we are going to get done. as we look to the future, it is not an

the trump administration has issued a brief characterization of mueller's findings written by trump's newly appointed attorney general, but if you don't want to count on what the trump administration is saying about itself, and you want the see mueller's findings on all of it, on the criminal side of it, on the counterintelligence side of it, on the collusion side of it, on the obstruction side of it, on all of it, we don't at this point even know how close we are to all of that. the chairman of the house judiciary committee jerry nadler said he spoke with the attorney general william barr about that today, and he basically came away frustrated. >> i had a phone call with the attorney general, and i asked him about the length and breadth of the mueller report. he told me it was a very substantial report, a very substantial report, one that in my judgment a four-page summary can do no -- cannot begin to do justice to. i asked him when we could see it? he couldn't get specific. he said weeks, not months, as we've heard before. i asked whether he could commit that the full report, an unr

and today president trump's administration announced america's highest trade deficit in history. rump managed to deliver a merchandise trade deficit of $891.2 billion. and because donald trump understands absolutely nothing about international trade, nothing the president has done has worked the way he wants it to. for example, president trump illegally used a national security loophole in trade law to unilaterally impose tariffs on china. but tariffs on chinese-made solar panels, for example, have in fact nothing to do with national security. and what happened? after president trump used tariffs to try to reduce the amount of merchandise, china sells to the united states, china ended up selling more merchandise to the united states. and the united states ended up selling less to china. and now the trade deficit with china alone has hit a new record high of $419 billion. and what does president trump have to say now that he has completely failed in his promise to reduce the trade deficit and the trade deficit has actually gone up dramatically to new record highs? >> thanks to our

the federal judge has ruled the trump administration is responsible for thousands more migrant childrenny initially thought. jacob soboroff has been following the story. jacob, how do we know about how many children we're talking about and what this means? >> first, ali, this is a really, really big deal. maybe one of the critical juncture points of the two-year long family separation process and that is because we knew about the 2800 kids that were separated and 2700 of those kids who were reunited during the zero tolerance period, but before that time, hhs, health and human service e the department responsible for the separated migrant earn which, their office of inspector general say there may be thousands more, potentially thousands who were separated before zero tolerance during a pilot program the trump administration ran in el paso up until the time zero tolerance started. it could be a thousand, 2,000, 3,000 and we don't know and that's the point of this whole thing. so now this judge has ruled that the trump administration needs to rule all of these kid, unknown number, thousan

that t-mobile executives booked dozens of nights at the trump hotel once their merger need trump administrationook, to be fair, maybe t-mobile executives have always just loved trump hotels. you know, they're coming to washington to push for this deal. they stay at the same hotel. they've always loved that place. nothing to do with currying favor and to bribe somebody to get the deal approved, right? david farenthold's latest report in "the washington post" today puts the finishing touch on the arc of this story. quote, t-mobile acknowledges its patronage of trump's washington hotel increased largely after the announcement of the merger with sprint. in a letter responding to questions from democratic lawmakers, the company says before the announcement of this merger that needs government approval, quote, only two top officials from t-mobile had ever stayed at trump's hotel with one overnight stay each in august 2017. but since the merger was announced, since april of last year, t-mobile employees have spent $195,000 staying at the trump hotel in washington. that is $195,000 into the pocket of t

the trump administration got this done. they got it on paper.ime for democrats to step up to the plate and do what they said they would do to help us get an agreement in place. shery: we could be getting a u.s. china trade deal any day now. we are hearing that china has agreed to increase imports. how meaningful are these concessions? china is suffering from production, due to the african swine fever. administration is close. illinois,rs in especially soybean producers, have been hit hard. china is not a fair trading partner. we have to have an administration who is willing to stand up to china and get a good deal. it will be better for american workers and for american manufacturers and our farmers. i hope a trade deal is in place. if a deal with china is announced, it makes it easier for democrats to call up the usmca and vote for it. shery: secretary perdue was telling me if we actually get a deal, they could be a boon for farmers. >> we could easily see, if we are able to come to resolution, doubling or tripling that number over 4, 5 years.

those who remember the green revolution in iran and worry about where this is going. >> the trump administration has behaved the opposite of the way the obama administration behaved. instead of shunning the people we have supported them. instead of denying the rights of the people of iran we are supporting the rights of the people of venezuela. we are going to stay the course. there are multiple elements to this effort, political moment, the economic element, desperately trying to get humanitarian assistance to the people of venezuela. we are committed to helping venezuela, the region deny maduro the opportunity to engage in this thuggish behavior that is so harmful. we are determining to achieve this outcome and optimistic we can get there. shannon: joe biden toying heavily with a 2020 run. is meeting with world leaders and talking about that. politico has this. there headline is world leaders tell biden we need you citing his long foreign-policy track record and commitment to the transatlantic alliance, some of the leaders echoing views from across the continent told biden his return to the wh

trump himself. his reported comments about s-hole countries, for example, helped convince u.s. district judge edward m. chen in san francisco that the administration'sision to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from central america, haiti and sudan was motivated by racial and ethnic bias. at least a dozen decisions have involved trump tweets or comments." strikes me, bill, that that falls ton a similar category of ill preparedness when taking these matters to court. >> yeah. it certainly could. judges expect agencies to follow the law, and that requires them to really look carefully at the law and the evidence and make decisions based on what congress has required. and if a president and perhaps agency officials have a sort of prejudgment or frankly disregard for the law it certainly can't help the agency that's trying defend itself in court. >> gentlemen, thank you for your time tonight. bill buzbee is a professor of law at georgetown university law center and expert on regulation and administrative law. david leonhartd is an opinion editor and columnist for the "new york times." up next in tonight's "last word,"
