Trump news on Youtube Sep 26 2018

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly out of anticipation President Donald Trump will fire him, it was reported Monday

'He's expecting to be fired,' a source told Axios, which reported his firing.The White House has accepted his resignation, a source told Bloomberg News

Rosenstein is en route to the White House Monday morning to meet with Kelly.Trump is in New York for the U

N.General Assembly meeting.He denied a report in The New York Times last week that last year he suggested secretly recording the president to raise the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office

If Rosenstein's resignation is accepted Noel Francisco, the solicitor general, will be in charge of the Russia probe

Rosenstein was overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 election

'I don't want to comment on it until I get all the facts,' Trump told Geraldo Rivera when asked about firing Rosenstein

'I haven't gotten all the facts, but certainly it's being looked at in terms of what took place

If anything took place and I'll make a determination sometime later, but I don't have the facts

' He also said it was Attorney General Jeff Sessions who hired Rosenstein.'He was hired by Jeff Sessions

I was not involved in that process.They hire their own deputies and people who work in the department,' Trump said

On Friday night, Trump  slammed the 'bad ones' in the Justice Department following reports Rosenstein wanted to wear a wire to secretly record the president and discussed invoking the 25th Amendment

Speaking to a fired-up crowd at a rally in Missouri on Friday night, he said there was a 'lingering stench' in Justice 'and we're going to get rid of that'

He was in Springfield supporting Republican Senate nominee Josh Hawley, who is running against two-term Democratic senator Claire McCaskill

Hours after the New York Times broke the story, Trump said:  'Just look at what is being exposed in our Justice Department

'We have great people in the Department of Justice. .But you've got some real bad ones

You've seen what's happened at the FBI.They're all gone.'But there's a lingering stench and we're going to get rid of that, too

' The audience also broke out in chants of 'Kavanaugh' as the Supreme Court nominee faces sexual assault allegations

Trump defended his choice for the bench, saying: 'You talk about central casting, he was born for the U

S.Supreme Court.And it's going to happen.' He added: 'We have to fight for him, not worry about the other side

And by the way, women are for that more than anybody would understand.' Rosenstein suggested last year that he should make covert audio recordings of President Trump in order to build a case for removing him from office, according to the New York Times report

Rosenstein disputed that account on Friday, and a Justice Department official who was reportedly in the room when Rosenstein talked about using the 25th Amendment to end the Trump presidency says he was being sarcastic

He released a statement on Friday night saying: 'I never pursued or authorized recording the President and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the President is absolutely false

' The 25th Amendment allows for a majority of the president's cabinet, or 'such other body as Congress may by law provide,' to decide if an Oval Office occupant is unable to carry out his duties – and then to put it to a full congressional vote

That account agrees with a Fox News report based on sources who were in the room and said the meeting took place May 16, 2017

The Washington Post, too, cited a source who said Rosenstein's comment was biting but unserious

In Trump's second rally in as many nights, he opened by telling the cheering crowd of thousands in Springfield that 'our country is respected again

' He says that's because 'we are finally putting America first.' Trump has been campaigning aggressively to help the Senate expand its narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate

He went to Vegas on Thursday night to help Sen.Dean Heller, the only Republican seeking re-election in a state that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in 2016

The reports about Rosenstein created even greater uncertainty for the deputy attorney general tenure at a time when Trump has lambasted Justice Department leadership and publicly humiliated both Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions

More broadly, it's the latest revelation that could affect Mueller, the special counsel investigating possible coordination between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign in 2016

Sessions recused himself from that issue soon after he took office, to Trump's dismay, and Rosenstein then appointed Mueller

With all that hanging in the air, Trump has resisted calls from conservative commentators to fire both Sessions and Rosenstein and appoint someone who would ride herd more closely on Mueller or dismiss him

A number of key FBI officials, including director James Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe, have been fired since Trump took office

On Friday, Fox also reported that then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and FBI lawyer Lisa Page were in the room when Rosenstein raised the subject

Page had been half of the infamous texting romantic-affair couple who mused in 2016 about how to 'stop' Trump from becoming president

An Obama-era Justice Department spokesman suggested Friday afternoon that McCabe leaked the story to the Times

'Dangerous game Andy McCabe is playing right now,' Matthew Miller tweeted.Ari Fleischer, who was White House press secretary during the George W

Bush administration, lashed out separately at McCabe.'This story reads like Andy McCabe trying to burn down the house he once lived in,' he tweeted

'Looks to me like McCabe is trying to get revenge on those he used to work with, after they challenged his honesty and fired him

' McCabe is himself facing a federal probe over allegations that he misled investigators about the sources of press leaks; Attorney General Jeff Sessions terminated his employment this year, just days before he was scheduled to retire with a full pension

In the Post's telling, McCabe had proposed opening an investigation into the president after the firing of FBI Director James Comey

'What do you want to do, Andy, wire the president?' Rosenstein chided him, according to one source

Presidents Moon and Trump to discuss issues on N. Korea and revised FTA during summit in NY - Duration: 2:27.

We'll be bringing you live the opening remarks between President Moon and Trump in just a

few moments, but before we cut to that summit location,... we're first going to connect

to our Blue House correspondent Shin Se-min,.. traveling with the president for the latest.

Se-min,.. we are moments away from another summit with the U.S.,...what more can you

tell us?

The meeting scheduled to take place a couple block away from where I stand is largely expected

to be about two things.

One, on North Korea,… especially after President Moon Jae-in had just finished his third summit

with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un last week-where he was reassured that the regime

is willing to dismantle its key nuclear facilities,... but only after corresponding actions by the

U.S.

And another is signing of that revised Korea-U.S. FTA deal, which the two sides have agreed

in principle back in March.

With that signing today,... the 6-year-old deal between the two allies will be updated--

at the request of Washington-- which focuses on cutting its trade deficits in the auto

sector.

Also included in the deal, according to that revised clauses disclosed earlier,... is revising

Korea's premium pricing policy for global innovative drug to insure non-discriminatory

and fair treatment of U.S.

But again, Jangho, the focus today from the summit looks to be on untangling business

on North Korea, as President Trump had already gave out a statement this morning on just

that,... saying that he looks forward to hold the second meeting with leader Kim

in the immediate future.

Jangho?

Why the Trump administration isn't making much headway in lowering drug prices - Duration: 6:42.

JUDY WOODRUFF: During the 2016 election campaign, President Trump repeatedly pledged to bring

down prescription drug prices.

And his administration has taken some steps in recent months, including trying to increase

the number of generic, or non-brand name products, available to substitute for high-cost drugs.

They have also lowered the price Medicare pays initially for some medications.

Feeling political pressure, some drugmakers have announced temporary price freezes.

But a new analysis by the Associated Press finds there have been far more price hikes

than cuts.

While price increases did slow somewhat, the analysis found there have been 96 price hikes

for every price cut in the first seven months of this year.

Journalist Elisabeth Rosenthal watches health care costs.

She's the author of a book on the subject called "An American Sickness," and she's the

editor in chief of Kaiser Health News.

Elisabeth Rosenthal, welcome to the "NewsHour."

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL, Editor in Chief, Kaiser Health News: Thank you.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, in sum, what is this AP analysis telling us?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Well, it's showing us how hard it is to bring down drug prices,

and that the president, despite his narrative of saying these companies are getting away

with murder, isn't making a whole lot of headway.

I mean, that's pretty extraordinary, 96 up to one down.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But there -- they do show there is some slowing in the rate of increase.

Is that right?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Well, they do.

But when you're saying slowing in the rate of increase, that means they're still going

up.

And these prices are already for many drugs, for an extraordinary number of Americans,

unaffordable.

So they shouldn't just be going up at a slower pace.

I think we really need them to come down.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now, we know what -- Elisabeth Rosenthal, we know what the drug companies

say.

They say, we need this additional money because we're doing experiments.

We're trying to come up with new drugs to solve other problems, to cure other illnesses.

And that costs money.

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Yes, they say that.

And that is true.

But I think what we see, which is extraordinary to me, is that, over time, the same exact

drug, a vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia, a cancer drug, will go up, will double, will

triple over time.

Now, that isn't how any real market works, right?

When things get older, the prices go down, because, hey, you have recouped your investment

with this high price at the beginning.

So why should it keep going up?

That defies economic logic.

It defies health care logic, and, frankly, it defies the drug companies' own logic.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, when the president of the United States says, as President Trump said

in May, he said he would be announcing massive voluntary drug price cuts within two weeks,

what actually happened after that?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Well, a bunch of companies started off just doing business as usual and

announced price hikes.

Then President Trump came back and said -- shamed them.

And shaming works a little bit.

So there's a whole bunch of companies, probably half-a-dozen, that said, OK, we're not going

to do price hikes this year.

But, hey, we're going to pause.

But what happens next year?

No promises there.

And, as I said, we're talking about price hikes of old drugs now.

We're not talking about a new fabulous cancer treatment.

We're talking about an annual 10 percent price hike on an old drug.

And I don't think we have a good explanation for why that has occurred.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Is -- as somebody who has studied this for a long time, what do you think it

takes?

I mean, is it -- it's going to take?

Are we talking political pressure from a president or somebody else?

What does it take?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Well, I don't think shaming enough is going to make it happen, right?

So I think that the president proposed some ideas, like allowing greater generic competition,

allowing biosimilars, which are complex molecules, to be done on a generic -- basically, a generic

basis.

But that only affects a small number of drugs, maybe 10 to 15 right now.

And the generics we have seen in this country don't lower prices.

Look, the EpiPen, there was a brouhaha.

It was $700.

A generic meant it was $350.

P.S., an EpiPen in 2007 was $100.

So we're starting with this crazy high price point.

So what will it take?

I can tell you what other countries have found, is that it takes some sort of price-setting,

some kind of national price negotiation.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Government action.

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Yes, basically, large-scale government action.

I mean, maybe when Amazon and J.P. Morgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway get together,

they will have that kind of clout.

But whether the market and these market manipulations can do it, I think Secretary Azar today said

you need to give it time.

I mean, my feeling is, yes, maybe some of them would work over time.

But we're running out of time here.

People are hurting right now.

And these prices are extreme ordinarily high right now.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The other thing we see about drug pricing is, frankly, a lack of transparency.

We don't see what it is inside these companies that is leading to these price increases,

do we?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: No.

And I think a number of politicians have called for that.

A number of states are calling for that, which is interesting.

There's a lot of action at the state level right now, where a state is saying, if you

want to raise prices, OK, explain why you need to do this.

We want a justification.

So far, at a federal level, it's been kind of willy-nilly.

Why do we raise prices?

Well, I mean, economists would say because they can.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But it sounds like you're saying, in the near term, we're not going to see much

change?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Well, slow change.

But we find in Kaiser Family Foundation surveys 80 percent of people want the government to

do something; 40 percent say they're worried that they can't afford their medicines.

We see young people dying because they can't afford insulin now.

I think this is an acute problem, so a long-term solution is not going to really be enough

right now.

And I hope voters realize that and start putting on the political pressure, because I think

we do need a solution.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we're paying attention now.

And let's hope a lot more people pay attention.

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: I hope so.

Thanks.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Elisabeth Rosenthal, thank you very much, Kaiser Health News.

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL: Thanks.

Illegal Immigrants Just Got $1Mil Behind Trump's Back And Guess Who's Paying For It… - Duration: 7:24.

If those of you on the left still can not seem to understand why we on the right want

a strong and secure border, here is one of the hundreds of reasons.

Fox News is now reporting that the city council of the extreme left-wing city of Portland

just approved a $500,000 grant for potential deportees' legal services.

And as if this was not enough Multnomah County is matching that amount.

Here is more on this insanity via Fox 12: "This week Portland City Council approved

a $500,000 dollar grant to Catholic Charities of Oregon and Multnomah County is matching

that amount.

It's funding that will go toward paying for attorneys and legal services for potential

deportees.

Margaux Weeke, a communications specialist in the Office of Commissioner Chloe Eudaly

told FOX 12 Friday the funding which is being called the "Universal Representation Project"

will be for immigrants who may not be able to afford an attorney during legal proceedings.

It's services that Jordan Cunnings, a staff attorney at Innovation Law Lab, said are crucial

in winning cases.

"For many people it's sort of the most frightening most monumental experience they

are going to have in their life and there's just an incredibly limited number of resources

for folks who can not afford attorneys," Cunnings said.

Innovation Law Lab is an immigrant-rights organization in Portland.

Cunnings said the organization will have a direct hand in the implementation of the program.

"Innovation Law Lab in collaboration with a group of legal service providers and community

organizations has been brainstorming and dreaming about universal rep for over a year and meeting

to sort of plan and making the funding ask and we are going to be serving as sort of

the strategy point and the hub for coordination of the program," she said.

"We are going to be the tactical center for the direct service attorneys so we are

going to be representing people in removal proceedings in the Portland immigration court

and providing case support and strategy with a goal of winning every case."

Cunnings said about half of the thousands of Oregonians who are in removal proceedings

in court currently have no representation.

"Immigration court is one of the only court proceedings where the government always has

a lawyer at their table and the respondent often does not have a lawyer at the table,"

Cunnings said.

"The stakes are also incredibly high so you are basically stacking the deck against

people by having them in what's often a life or death situation for them in the case

that they are fighting."

But with that funding Cunnings told FOX 12 immigrants will have a voice and a chance

to stay in the U.S.

"Whether or not you have a lawyer in immigration court is ultimately the most determinant factor

in whether or not you win your case," Cunnings said.

"It's a very emotional experience and we are just really thrilled to now have the

opportunity to sort of step in and support people who are at risk of removal here in

Oregon

The city said this a pilot program and after a year the council will evaluate its success.

The $500,000 dollars from the city is general fund dollars and every tax payer FOX 12 polled

Friday night said they are in favor of the program."

City officials are saying that the funding that's being coined as the "Universal

Representation Project" is for Illegal Aliens to use who may not be able to afford attorneys

during their legal proceedings.

The money is said to be going to Catholic Charities of Oregon which will, in turn, use

the funds to pay for legal counsel for illegal aliens.

What's probably even more asinine about this whole plan is the fact that the $500k

is coming out of Portland's general fund.

A fund that's there to pay for police, fire and parks operations.

The reason they do this is because they know very well people would never vote to give

money to illegals aliens but they will vote to fund police and fire the moment they have

no money and start the typical scare tactics about not having enough police or firefighters

around in case of an emergency.

All this is just one more attack on President Trump.

The left is in the middle of one of its typical tantrums and they will enact anything they

can to spite him and go against his policies which are proving to be very good for the

United States.

This is just funny and sad at the same time to watch, it's like the left have turned

into perpetual troubled teenagers rebelling against their parents.

This tactic might have worked before, but today the right is smarter and knows the drill,

so the left will just keep losing.

All we on the right can do is pull up a chair, sit and enjoy the show, and of course go out

and vote

in the midterms.
