On the Webcast Extra, Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times details the coup in Yemen and the struggle the US government may have trying to work with the Houthi rebel group that is now in power. POLITICO’s Michael Crowley explains why many possible 2016 presidential candidates, including Rick Perry and Sarah Palin, are courting Henry Kissinger, who they believe represents “wisdom, knowledge, and worldliness.” Plus, Eamon Javers of CNBC reports on foreign spies looking who are spying on Wall Street to potentially attack the U.S. financial system. And Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post explains what Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) meant when he said that he didn’t think the government should regulate whether or not food service employees have to wash their hands.
