Transcripts For MSNBCW Jose Diaz-Balart 20140806

Good morning. Im jose diaz balart. New details about the insider attack that killed a twostar general. Senior afghan official said Major General harrold green was shot in the back four times by an afghan soldier. He was the highest ranking active duty soldier to be killed in a combat zone since vietnam. Eight other americans were wounded. Theyll be flown to germany later this afternoon. Were joined by retired army colonel jack cay jjacobs and re army colonel and vietnam and cold war veteran. The obvious question, how could it have happened again . Because, jose, unfortunately, the most dangerous enemy we have anywhere is the insider. And no matter how much we prepare people, theres someone who is going to pop up out of nowhere like major hassan and many other examples of people. Prabtly, theres no defense against the insider. Colonel jacobs, since 2008142 coalition deaths have come from insider attacks. Does the latest attack raise any concerns about our withdrawal strategy from afghanistan . Is. Its very interesting. Because as we draw the troops down, the combat troops down you would expect, and i think we ought to expect, that the danger to those remaining will increase. It will be fewer and fewer combat troops to protect them. I was in vietnam toward the end of the conflict, as an adviser to vietnam. I think youll see the same thing here through 2016. The taliban praised this deadly insider attack. It hasnt claimed responsibility for it, but it did praise it. Is the taliban still a threat . Is it going to be a bigger threat in the future . The taliban continues to be a threat. The taliban has not been completely destroyed. Our time table has been set on political terms not in military terms. Theres still a transition of government. We dont know who will be the president of afghanistan. But we keep on talking about troop withdrawals and it sets a great danger for our forces and still does not resolve the problem as to why we went to war there in the first place. And i want to switch now to another Major Military investigation. For the First Time Since his controversial capture and release by the taliban in afghanistan, Sergeant Bowe bergdahl will be formally questioned this afternoon. He arrived in san antonio last hour. These are the first Public Images of bergdahl since his release more than two months ago. His attorney tells that his client is anxious to share his side of the story. At least some of the things that people have said about my client have been extremely unfair and a number of instances outright false. Did he dissert . Thats a question were not going to get into. Were not going to try the case on television. Colonel jacobs, take us inside the room. What is going to happen today . Well, its interesting his lawyer said theyre not going to try the case. It hasnt gone to trial. Indeed, he hasnt even been charged. What it is is a preliminary investigation, effectively. The Major General who is conducting this article 156 investigation will drill down as much as he can talking to not only bergdahl but everybody in his chain of command. Everybody who could have had any understanding or knowledge of what happened here before he makes a recommendation to the commanding general whether or not bergdahl ought to be charactcharged after and if hes charged a new investigation will begin the military equivalent of the grand jury procedure. But this is just a preliminary investigation, and the fact weve got a Major General conducting this investigation indicates how seriously the military thinks about this. Colonel, how difficult will it be to prove what did or did not happen in afghanistan to Sergeant Bergdahl . The investigation should be able to shed sufficient light as colonel jacobs for Major General to make a recommendation. One thing we need to understand, this is standard military procedure in any case very to this. The case of the sergeant has been tried publicly and morally but not with the whole purpose is to establish the facts and determine what we know, what we dont know, and make the necessary recommendations. But it is premature to say anything other than the military is following proper procedure whether it was one or five p. O. W. S that went through a similar experience. And colonel jacobs, does it surprise you military officials dont believe that bergdahl met with his family yet. Thats kind of shocking. I think, you know, if youre deployed, the first thing you want to do is get together with your family when you come back. It speaks that perhaps an estrangement. It also says that perhaps the white house was a bit premature in dragging bergdahls family in before the cameras at the beginning of this entire odyssey. But it is very its extremely surprising that bergdahl reportedly has not spoken with and may not want to speak with his parents. Colonel jack jacobs, and jornl eric thank you for being with us this morning. Thank you, jose. Good day. Thank you. Lets zoom through some of todays other top stories.

Could miami be the next Silicon Valley . Plus, you saw what im saying. I was so you understand the english language. Are you not acting like i dont understand . You are. Youre saying something that is not true. The woman who confronted salesman steve king over immigration. Ill talk to her right after the break. The summer of this. The summer that summers from here on will be compared to. Where memories will be forged into the sand. And then hung on a wall for years to come. Get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at 150 dollars or less. Expedia. Find yours. When folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. And now to a Intense Exchange on immigration that has gone viral. A dreamer takes on a major opponent of dreamers rights during a gop fundraising event in iowa. It became the dreamer and the congressman. This is part of that exchange. You say we have i is a no. No. Please, please. Youre very good at english, you know what im saying. I was raised in the United States i understand the english language. Im not acting like you dont understand it im trying to figure out where youre coming from. Youre saying youre not going to tell me youre a drug smuggler. He did stick around in his own words, here is why. Well, they came here to create a scene, and i decided early in the conversation that i was not going to walk away because i dont think they have anywhe anywhere did your parents break the law to come into america. They didnt answer the question. Of course they did. They already told me they did. Joining now is the dreamer at the center of this erika andiola. Thank you for being with us. Thank you, jose. Congressman king said you went there to create a scene. What were you trying to accomplish . Well, so we were in iowa, actually. We were there with a couple of other dreamers. We organized it. We were there just for that. We learned about this fundraiser that was going to happen and then we figured mr. King was going to be there along with senator ron paul, and, you know, for us it wasnt really i didnt really have a plan. I was listening to what they had to say. And, you know, just a couple of weeks ago or last week, they took a vote to be to kill daca, and to me, you know, it was just very interesting to see what he was saying. I said i have my card with me. I want to see how he reacts to me giving him my daca card and asking him to rip it up. He didnt do it. And we did have an exchange a conversation and, you know, to me, honestly, i dont think im going to change his mind but, you know, just as dreamers, i wanted to really show that we need to were going to be protecting did, aca no matter what he does. And the Republican Party stops following his lead. Your parents broke the law. Its true. They broke the law when they came here. But added you come from a lawless country. Put that into con text. I refer i presume hes referring to your parents country. Right. Yeah. I moengsed i was born in mexico and i came when i was 11 and, you know, i mentioned the fact that, you know, my mother did come she did cross the border with us. The reason why she was crossing the border because she was running away from Domestic Violence and the police in mexico never really helped, you know, whenever there was, you know, something happening at my house with my dad. And so, you know, then he went on to say, well, you have a lawless country and youre coming to bringing all these lawlessness into the United States, and, you know, the third world youre bringing it here. He went on and on and on to talk about, you know, us not supposed to be here. And the fact that daca wasnt supposed to be legal. And we have been working very hard to get it and ive been organizing for awhile now. It is legal we know the president has authority to do this. Unfortunately, the congressman didnt want to have a civil conversation. He grabbed my hand very hard. He almost hurt my hard. I dont think im going to change his mind, but i want to show that this is the type of person the republican person hasnt been following and the type of person that president obama needs to challenge and expand it to people like my mom and siblings who didnt qualify. This is important. You have been critical, not only of the Republican Party. You have criticized many of the democrats in the house and the president himself. What is your issue with the democrats and the president . Well, see, to me, i actually worked in congress for a year, and just my time being there i realized that the Democratic Party has a lot of talking points, you know, saying they support immigration reform, they support immigrants, but at the end of the day, its also another its sort of like the political football they like to play with the Republican Party. Its easier for to say they support us and try to get the latino vote for their candidates instead of really trying to pass immigration reform. I have did have an exchange from congressman besara from california and ask them to do something to pass immigration reform. The reality is that obama deported more people than any other president in the United States. And so, you know, to me, its just very its not right to say youre supporting undocumented phones and families and deporting them as well. Our fight is for him to really show he spoupports us, and stop deportations. And the president instituted daca and you are a beneficiary otherwise kids like you would be threatened with deportation as we speak. I want to bring you back to what happened in iowa. Specifically rand paul was there. And you see him there in the colorful shirt. As the conversation begins he takes a bite of his burger, is motioned by someone else at the table and gets up and walks away leaving his unfinished lunch behind. Often explaining in a statement that senator paul had a media availability thats where he had to be. What was your sense from that . You were there. Yeah. I was. I mean, see, to me theres two things. One, if hes really trying to run for office in 2016 for president ial office, i think he needs to think about it twice before he starts showing up with steve king in places. Steve king has been one of the most extreme antiimmigrant folks in congress, and i dont know it rand paul learned a lesson but mitt romney. He lost the election with the latino vote. I hope he think about it is twice before he shows up with steve king and talks about, you know, things like immigration and a lot thing is, you know, if he wants to run, hes going to have to face the issue. Its a tough issue, but reality is i have someone who is effected by it try to talk to you. You dont run away you try to talk. King is king. He did whatever he did. He talked to us, and ron paul, who is running for office in 2016, just, you know, didnt even finish his burger and bailed out. Erika andiola thank you for being with us this morning. Thank you for your time. Thank you, jose. Congratulations on your show. Its great thank you so much. We know how viral it will become. We want your feedback on this interview and the stories we cover on show. You see how to do it. Through facebook and twitter and all the other ways. Now from a dreamer to the stand off in washington, d. C. Lawmakers are back home for the summer recess after the gop house voted friday to kill daca, the program for deportation. And killed a border crisis bill. Vice President Joe Biden will address the remarks in washington. Joining me now from college station, texas is republican congressman bill flores. Thank you for being with us. Good morning, jose. Great to be on your new hoe. Thank you. You voted to end any future daca. What is the reasoning behind a this . The reasoning for that, jose, is that daca, the president doesnt have the authority under our constitution to change our laws. And what were doing is that was a vote to uphold the constitution. Now let me say this, i do think that Congress Needs to address the situation that the dreamers are in. But under article i of the constitution, theres a responsibility of the congress to do it not the president. But, congressman, if the congress doesnt do anything about it, you mean, look, the senate went out and you guys went out. No agreement. No money additional to the border. If congress doesnt do the job, dont you think someone should . Well, our constitution doesnt have a default provision for anything like that. The constitution is very clear that Congress Shall pass the laws. It doesnt say in article i that the president should pass the laws. Thats one of the situations we have under the constitution. There is no provision for saying that the president can do something if the congress doesnt do it. You know, folks like that are not in this country, thats the constitution that we live under. Thats the constitution that we have to enforce. And, congressman, what do you think and should be happening to deal with border crisis . It seems as though the number of kids crossing by themselves dwindled down a little bit. Thats still an issue. That border is still very porous. We still have big issues. I mean, here in texas we lost a Border Patrol agent this weekend who was murdered by two Illegal Immigrants in front of his family. Theres Border Security issues that need to be addressed. What i would like to see happen is i would like to see the senate take up the border crisis bill that the house passed last friday, and pasta and provide the resources and the processes to the Border Patrol, to the Homeland Security folk, to the National Guard so we can deal with the issue and do it quickly. Congressman flores, thank you for your time for being with us this morning. Its great to be with you jose. Coming. Well talk to a doctor getting ready to go to africa to deal with the ebola outbreak.

Cause im like, this is what we do. the fact that iowa is leading the way in wind energy, im so proud, like, its just amazing. All of us here today our thoughts and prayers with those who have been affected by the ebola outbreak. Especially those who lost loved ones. The United States and our sbshlt partners will continue to do whatever we can do help help our african partners with the crisis and stand with the people. That was barack obama talking about the ebola crisis. Its been the topic that dominated the headlines and a talk of the sideline of the african leader summit. Brand new numbers from the World Health Organization. The number of ebola deaths risen. 932 across the globe. Its triggering a massive military, financial, and medical response. Here at home, two americans with ebola woke up in the same isolation unit. Researchers at the cdc hoping studying their cases could one day help find a cure in africa. The outbreak is spreading. This morning we learned syria leon will send 750 people with ebola to stay in isolation. Families have forced their way into the medical facilities and removed patients taking them home and overpowered the workers. The u. S. Agency for International Development is pledging 5 million to help in the World Health Organization is launching a 100 Million Program to send more million experts to west africa. One of the experts is dr. Iileen marti. We got word youre heading to africa soon. Thank you for being with us. My pleasure. Tell me what it is what youre planning to do and you learned as of this morning youre going to be a specific area. Yeah. They just notified me by electronic correspondence ill be heading to nigeria. Its not the center of the outbreak, i think thats a staging ground. They want me to go ahead and send them all the paperwork they previously sent me to fill out and the physicals and so forth so im ready to go. You got back from washington, d. C. , where you went through a screening process . I did. And vaccinations for anything you could imagine. You have a lot of experience, really. Youve got a lot of experience in disease communeble diseases. This is different. This is a massive outbreak of this extraordinarily deadly virus. How do you number one, plan to protect yourself, and number two, are you worried this is something we really, as human beings, cant really control . We can control it as human beings. We can. The biggest problem to control in this particular outbreak has been fear, misinformation, and distrust of the government. And of workers coming in to help. So really theres a lot of political aspects that are driving the fact that this outbreak is out of control. You heard one of the speakers from one of the countries saying that people are going into the clinics and taking their ebolainfected family members out of isolation and bringing them back to their hometowns. This is going to be devastating. It is already devastating. Its frightening, but if we dont figure out how to resolve this problem, and quickly, then it can only expand. How do you solve the problem when theres no vaccines . The away weve been able to solve it in the past is containment of cases and using very strict protocols. Very strict. Including not just strict pat l protocols for managing the individual patient but the entire community. It worked effectually in the past. We have a additional challenges not only the ones we mentioned, but the fact that nations also have other diseases we have to deal with at the same time. We will find it. We will find a way of managing it now we have enough resources coming in. Thats a huge difference from where we were before. More over, the resources we have are not greater quantity but better quality. Doctor, thank you so much. And best of luck to you. Its nas nating. Its so devastating this ebola. It is. It really is. Thank you for being with us. A major day in court for marriage that could set up a Supreme Court show down. This afternoon a federal Appeals Court will hear arguments in six samesex marriage cases from four different states. Ohio, michigan, kentucky, and tennessee. Supporters of Marriage Equality believe they have momentum on their side. They have won 20 federal case since the Supreme Court struck down the federal dense of marriage act last year. The stakes are high and a defeat could mean that the Supreme Court will finally have to weigh in with a sweeping ruling. I know this is a more conservative panel of three judges, so i dont know. I want to believe itll be another win, but if it isnt, im not stopping. Lets frame the debate. James essex and kent black well, senior fellow of the Family Research council and former mayor of cincinnati. Thank you for being with us. James, how important are the stakes in these cases today . Jose, thank you for talking about this issue. The stakes are very high. One of the important things here is that the judges who are going to hear the cases today arent just going to heari arguments. Theyre going to hear stories across the four states whose lives are affected. I want to see if i show you one of the couples. Jim and john. They decided they wanted to get married. Theyve been together for 22 years. They knew they didnt have a whole lot of time left. Because at that point, john was already in the hospice care. He had lou gehrigs disease. He only had a couple of months left. They couldnt get married in ohio so with the help of friends and family, they chartered a small plane and put john in his hospital bed on the plane and flew to baltimore. Because there they could get married. In baltimore they couldnt get off the plane. On the tarmac they got married and turned around and came back to cincinnati. They came back married. When you die anywhere you get a death certificate. In ohio it lists the surviving spouse and say wls the person who dies is married or not. And they learned that ohio was going to say to john arthur, youre a single man and was going to leave blank that part of the death certificate for surviving spouse. They just said, look, thats not fair and we cant put up with that. Marriage is marriage. When youre married in america, youre e married everywhere. These are real people with real life stories. Kent, you play a part in ohio samesex marriage ban. The passing of it in 2004. Legal in 19 states. Supporters have won the last 20 court cases. Is legalizing samesex marriage in every state inevitable, you think . No, i dont. I think what the judges are going to have to determine at the sixth circuit is whether or not in 2014 we will create a new fundamental right that is nowhere in the institution. And the question is can we read redefine marriage . Can these people that want sa samesex marriage redefine marriage . Theres no fundamental right in the constitution to redefine marriage. The states that are in question, kentucky, tennessee, ohio, michigan. They have, in fact, due to the referendum process determined that a marriage between one man and one woman in their state is the only marriage that will be recognized, and this is a marriage a union that has been thousands of years in recognition. Right but things change. Excuse me. Excuse me. No one is being defined. Nobody is being denied a right to marry if, in fact, they are of different sexes. All right. But thank you. Fundamental rights dont change. Your fundamental right to life doesnt change. Your fundamental right let me ask you a question. This is a new fundamental right. Let me ask you a question. I heard you out. Let me ask you a question. Thank you. Thats all i was trying to do. I was going to say things change, for example, if we look at june Washington Post abc news poll 56 favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry. Thats a poll. Im asking you, in the complete sentence, things change, peoples opinions change depend on how their Life Experiences are. Is it now time for the courts to maybe reflect those changes . No, i dont think that is the case. If, in fact, peoples attitudes change in 50 states, one or two or 19 or 20 of the 50 states, those people have a right to change the constitutions of their states, but ohio, tennessee, michigan, kentucky they have a right those people have a right to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. When you move beyond the notion that romantic attachment is the basis of marriage. You come to the fact if you allow it to be the definition. What stops at one man, two women, two women, one man . You would be on the defensive of having to argue that those two men and one woman cant get married even though theyre romantically attached. Were opening up a whole new set of discussion points. Absolutely. That is exactly what is happening. Thats exactly what all right. My question was do you want to redefine basic redefine basic fundamental rights. We got. It. The discussion will continue. Today is an important day, i think on all sides. Well continue to monitor and it and have a focus on this important issue to many, many people in this country. Thank you so much.

Day two of a break from the bloodshed in gaza where the 72hour ceasefire between israel and hamas is holding. They are trying to hash out a longer term peace deal. Jim, thank you for being with us. How do you get to that longer term peace deal between two very, very large adversaries . Well, you couldnt ask a more difficult question. Both delegations now, israeli and palestinian are in place in cairo with those egyptian mediators. Even before the talks began, the side were leaking their demands and red lines to the media, jose. One unnamed israeli official saying a mechanism must be found to prevent hamas from rearming. Immediately an Islamic Jihad representative answered that saying in the media that the demand to disarm palestinian groups is just not even on the agenda. Its not even a its a nonstarter basically. He also said that the palestinians would make no concessions at all on the demand, most of all, on the lifting of the blockade. Something israelis said it would only lift if the militants disarm first. So this could all be posturing. Again again, theyre in major discussions today and tomorrow. It doesnt look it doesnt hide the huge seemingly insu insurmountable gaps between the two sides. Many are predicting that the it will go back to the prejuly status eight. Have a ceasefire and forget about the lifting a siege or opening up the border crossings. In other words kicking the agree yo political cat, if you will and setting up another conflict down the road.
