but a lot of is joining us live on skype from washington d.c. thank you very much for your time first of all what's your reaction to the way donald trump has responded to puerto rico i find it unfathomable that a sitting united states president would show such a lack of empathy for people that are suffering and would make a humanitarian crisis partisan it's just that i cannot believe he would say the mayor of san juan has been told by the democrats to be nasty to him it's unreal it's as if we're living in some sort of dream he should be stepping up to what a commander in chief should be doing at this very moment and talking about the reality of the situation and giving facts and figures and really mobilizing the american people to help fellow americans but in practical terms are we placing criticism for the american response in this in the wrong place if we try to attach it to the white house certainly the decisions that are made about an american response to this kind of crisis on made with agencies like the federal emergency management agency

this was a referendum on washington, d.c., and the leadership.e've gone through nine months of the trump administration. republicans in congress have no major wins, even though they control all three levers of government. and that has been a real frustration for primary voters. last night they took it out on an incumbent senator. laura: do you think they are rejecting donald trump? reid: i do not think this race had as much to do with donald trump as luther strange would've liked. the people who voted for judge moore are donald trump fans. some of the most conservative voters and let's not forget alabama is one of the places that launched his campaign with a very early rally that packed stadiums thousands of people. the fact is people were voting less on donald trump, more in favor of roy moore who has been a major figure for 20 years. and against mitch mcconnell and the republican leadership. laura: what does this mean for the republican party going forward? they have more primaries on the horizon. if they have going to have more insurgent candi

i think this takes the power out of washington, d.c., starts putting it in the states.re are certain things we cannot do under senate reconciliation procedures. by turning these into block grants and start putting governors in charge and the governors in the states start putting pressure on washington, d.c. to create greater waivers, greater flexibility. maine is guaranteed issue. they didn't repeal it. what they did was supplanted it, literally cut premiums to young people to a third of what they were, for older folks like myself, cut premiums in half. that's state innovation. state block grant system would grant those states the ability to innovate that way and then we can look at best practices. one of the things we're talking about in the bipartisan meetings with lamar alexander is one state gets a waiver. don't make another state go through the months, sometimes years of all the applications, the thousands of pages of applications. if one state has obtain aid waiver if that's the best practice if it's working, let another state adopt that immediately. >> okay. >> s

we have another charter school in washington, d.c. there have been 41 charter schools that have joined us because they wanted a voice to -- helps help them kids. we have a nurses and health care professionals. what we are seeing that at the same time the right wing does not want regular folks to have a voice, we are seeing that millennials and others really are starting to understand why we have unions. are we perfect? no, but lots of institutions aren't perfect. i don't ever see anybody saying throw the baby out with the bathwater. get rid of all of them. doing need to actually do more number engagement? yes, and that is what we are doing. doing need to be more solution driven? -- absolutely, but every thing that happens in the united states have happened because of civil rights movements and because of labor movement. to have a weekend off. to have paid sick leave to fight for health care. to have a retirement. that is what we are about. and in school and what we are about is making every single public school a place where parents w

we have the latest from washington, d.c. how should we characterize this? in focus or a new focus of this investigation? >> there are a lot of tentacles to this, but it is becoming one that is central to the federal investigation and as we reported yesterday, it is something that congressional investigators are looking at closely. how was social media manipulated? in what ways? try to influence people's views on the 2016 presidential race. it should be noted that investigators say that activity has only increased since last year. david: facebook saying last week that there was a $100,000 ad buy. companies coming out and talking about this. some say this is the soft belly of espionage, we are dealing with a new threat. what doing know about how this is being deployed by foreign governments? there reason this is the soft underbelly is because in the past, intelligence agencies or governments could attack other governments by trying to steal secrets, break into classified computer systems and things like that. this time, they have a way to manipulate, pretty f

what we attempt to do take all the dollars in washington, d.c., doled out if a state jumps through a hoop, we turn it down to the states for them to do that what is best are to the state. if you're in a state with not expanded medicaid, you will do great. all those lower income texans, mainors, virginians and missourians will have dollars to get health insurance in state they do not have. if you have expanded medicaid, we did your best to hold you harmless. we don't want to run it through the chip program. i don't hear anyone complain about the chip program. it has been a program on the bipartisan basis. it is recognized to have effective way to provide access to quality care for those in need. we take it through the chip program. we continue patient protections. whatever waiver a state wishes to have, they must insure the secretary they continue to provided a caught and affordable coverage for those with preexisting conditions. that is our backstop. we preserve mental health parody, but we give dollars to the states to be inventive. we look at states done over past several years som
