Last night NFL players stood with linked arms during the playing of the national anthem, after President Trump said last Friday that they should be fired for taking a knee in protest. And this morning the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, pushed back against the acting Homeland Security secretary's assertion that the Puerto Rico hurricane response was a "good news story."

Here & Now's Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson talk with Bloomberg News White House correspondent Toluse Olorunnipa (@ToluseO) and NPR's Ron Elving (@NPRrelving) about the week in politics.
