Transcripts For MSNBCW The Daily Rundown 20140930

Good morning. Im luke russert. S the the daily rundown. Just about an hour from now, shell be grilled in a special capitol hill hearing about whether the secret service is still up to the job of protecting the president. Peterson was set to testify on security lapses that allowed gonzalez to force his way into the white house earlier this month. He was wielding a knife with 800 rounds of ammunition, two hatchets and a machete outside in his car. This morning there are shocking new developments in that story. It turns out gonzalez made it much further into the white house than the agency revealed ten days ago. All the way to the iconic east room. Just steps for the white house personal residence. On september 20th the secret service said gonzalez was visibly apprehended after entering the white house north portico doors. But according to officials, he was able to push past a guard, turn left, pass the stairs that lead to the familys residence, and run into the east room. He then ran tennessee length of that 80foot room before being tackled by a heavily armed agent. At the time alarm boxes, which are a key piece of the agencys first alert system, well, they were turned off. The sources who come to us told us the alarm was muted. Like a bad spomoke alarm, becau it was irritating the white house staff. Pearson will face questions about a 2011 incident when according to a Washington Post a gunman fired shots at the white house. It took the agency four days to realize seven bullets had hit the building. Evidence of the shooting was discovered after a housekeeper and usher found a broken window and bullet hole on the iconic truman balcony. The revelations put the secret service under scrutiny again, after a series of embarrassments over the last five years. In 2009 a pair of tv stars crashed a white house state dinner. In 2012 a dozen agents were dismissed after a prostitution scandal in many colombia. In march of this year, three agents were sent home and placed on administrative leave after one passed out drunk in the h hallway of the Amsterdam Hotel where the president was scheduled to stay. It begs the question, is it time for someone to be fired . Members of both parties say the status quo is not sustainable. You can never, ever, ever make this mistake. We are great men and women out there serving in the secret service. But i believe the management, the leadership, the director is sending all the wrong signals. They need to have a come to jesus moment. Clearly the secret service has not measured up to its reputation. Nbcs Chris Jansing is live at the the white house and has been covering the story for us. Chris, what do we expect to hear from the secret Service Director pearson, and does the white house have confidence she can do her job . Reporter they say they do. But they also say the president and first lady are concerned about the safety of their two children. It has to be a tough day on capitol hill. As we just saw, there is bipartisan outrage and what Elijah Cummings told nbc yesterday is the key is what did she know, and when did she know it . We have gotten conflicting reports, as you pointed out. The first thing we heard is the gruder got through the front door. Now he ran practically to this the back end of the white house, practically the length of the white house, 50, 60 feet at least is the length of the east room. There are going to be very tough questions for this woman brought in by the president to repair the tarnished image of this agency. But the key question here is can they protect the president . And right now there are a lot of questions about that. Part of this hearing may go on blind closed doors because of the sensitive nature. But this is a public hearing of Julia Pearson. There are dogs here. Ive seen them in action when somebody scales the fence. Theyre extraordinarily well trained. Extraordinarily intimidating. Why werent they released . The first story we heard is they were afraid because there were so many people on the lawn, so many agents, that the dog might not be able to distinguish the the agents from the rude intruder. If there were so many agents, why wasnt he stopped . Its going to be an interesting morning on capitol hill, luke. Without a doubt. Chris jansing, we appreciate it. For more on what questions we can expect, im joined by mark meadows of north carolina. Hes a member of the House Committee where pearson is testifying this morning. Congressman, good morning to you. Good morning, luke. Its good to be with you. Thank you so much. What are your most important questions today . I think two things. How did it happen . The American People deserve an answer. We expect our president to be protected. We expect this to be the most protected residence in america. And yet somehow we have an intruder that made it to the east wing. What do we know . We know that we have video surveillance. So the false narrative thats been out there seems like its really trying to protect the agency instead of protecting the president. Do you have confidence in the Agency Director at this moment right now . Well, certainly its too early to tell. Thats why were having the hearing. What we do know is that this is a lack of leadership and a lack of priorities. You mentioned, you know, at the top of this show, you know, why were the dogs not released . There were some five different circles where action could have been taken. Then it wasnt taken. And for us, what if he was not just wielding a knife, it was something more drastic than that. We would have had a very different top line story. And so i think both democrats and republicans want to make sure that our president is protected and the first family. When you talk to former agents and an lests who cover the secret service. They say theyve been hurt by the sequester cuts. Theyre trying to do more with less. Should Congress Look at perhaps funding the secret service to to presequester levels . Certainly ive been looking at funding because we want to make sure that they have the the tools necessary to do the job. This is really early results show that its not a funding problem. Actually what they ask for, the department asked for last year, we actually gave them more money than that. And so when we start to see it not releasing the dogs is not a funding question. Not subduing the attacker was not a funding question. But certainly well be looking at that in a comprehensive fashion. Zblf congressman mark meadows of north carolina, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you, luke. White House Press Secretary josh earnest was asked repeatedly about the Security Breach in the days it happened. He did not disclose how far the suspect was able to make it into the building. The president does have full confidence in director pearson and other members of the secret service to do their very important work. We are interested in the review that is under way by the secret service. Its a review the white house will look at and certainly consider the reforms they recommend. The president continues to have confidence in the secret service. Should the American People have confidence ha the president and his family are safe . The the president does. Let me bring in the democratic congressman Matt Cartright of pennsylvania. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Its my pleasure. You just heard congressman meadows say this is not an issue of funding. If its not an issue of funding, is it just a breakdown in terms of the structure of the agency . Well, those are fair questions to ask. We know Julia Pearson will be testifying today. Ive seen shes only been on the job for a year and a half. I know shes been calling for more funding. The agency is understaffed. Theyre down about 100 secret Service Agents. That raises the question. Why ever be understaffed at the u. S. Secret service . But todays hearing is going to be interesting. What i like to see and what i thing congressman made does would like to see, too is a real fact finding inquiry. Im afraid it will turn into the bomb throwings that weve had for a year and a half. We need an executive session to start things off. Im calling on chairman issa to call for an executive session. A session where we can asked questions that we dont worry about the public finding out the information to. And lets explain that for the public. An executive session is essentially a classified session where the secret Service Director can get into the specific things they do to protect the president are. They do not want the general public to hear about. Zblf right. Thats so important. If we start off with a couple of panels, the members on the panel asking questions arent aware of the particular classified details, were going to be giving vent to all kinds of unsubstantiated rumors. Were going to be wasting time on things not true. If we start with an executive session were going to be table to put to bed a lot of false rumors. It will enable us to focus on whats real and whats true and not so do much political bomb throwing. I believe Julia Pearson, from all accounts other than this, shes been doing a good job. Shes in there to change the culture of the secret service. Shes working hard at it. She has a steler resume. But im not throwing up softballs for her to hit out of the park. Im going to be asking hard questions. T you dont need to be a Rocket Scientist to know this is probably the most threatened president in the history of the United States. We need to protect him. Right. And his threats due to him being africanamerican have been three times as many as any other president has faced. I want to get to the point you brought up about political bam throwing. Do you think theres a desire by republicans to make this a political hearing . If theres not a more bipartisan issue in the United States about protecting the president , i dont know what is. I certainly hope it will not be political bam throwing. And we just heard representative meadows mention the failure of leadership. I think theres a disconnect between the attempt to call this a failure of leadership, when its the very leader himself who is threatened by a breakdown in the secret service. I think we have to roll up our sleeves and dig in and ask the tough questions. We need to start an executive session so were not only asking the hard questions, but the smart ones, too. And last really quickly. I want to get you out of here with this. There is speculation that the agency has not been the same since it moved from under the umbrella of the Treasury Department to the department of home land security. Theyre not the most stellar of the government branches. Its been well documented. Do you think theres truth to that . Well, i will say this. One thing that the dhs comes with is its own Inspector General. One thing that may come of all this is an inquiry by the dhs Inspector General k which may or may not be appropriate depending on what we find out today. Congressman, we appreciate your time. Thank you so much. My pleasure. Now a live look at the u. J. General assembly in new york. Todays final session includes debate over syria and a special event on fighting terrorism.

Stunning developments in the search for the missing university of virginia student. Forensic evidence links the suspect in 18yearold Hannah Grahams disappearance two weeks ago to the disappearance of Morgan Harrington in 2009. Both are tied to this man. They previously linked him to an unsolved Sexual Assault in 2005. Just like graham, harrington disappeared in charleston, virginia. She was last seen just blocks from where harringtons tshirt was found. The body was found in the same area where search crews are looking for graham right now. Harringtons parents had this message for the suspect in an exclusive interview on the today show. I would like to appeal to him to please give the family information where hannah is. We need to find Hannah Graham. Its vital. David gutierrez is in charlottesville with the latest on the search. When i was down there, so many folks said we had been through this before, but a little bit of an interesting right here with this case. Hey, look. Good morning. People are stunned at the turn this investigation has taken. Jesse matthew supporters are also cautioning a rush to judgment here. They say hes innocent until proven guilty. So far police have not gone into detail on what exactly the new forensic detail is, but the break in the case comes after investigators searched the suspects car and his apartment. And submitted dna evidence to the crime lab. This morning the investigation into Jesse Matthews past is widening just days after he was arrested in texas and brought back to virginia. They now say his arrest provides a significant break in an another unsolved abduction. In 2009 Morgan Harrington disappeared after she left a concert. Her body was found three months later. Now after that investigators linked that 2009 case they used dna evidence to link it to a 2005 Sexual Assault some 100 miles away in fairfax, virginia. We should stress Jesse Matthew is not charged in either of the two cases. But he is charged with abduction with intent to defile in the Hannah Graham case. Hes not entered a plea in that case, and his attorney has not commented on any possible link to any other cases. Luke, back to you. Gabe gutierrez, we appreciate it. You bet. Clint vanzant joins me with a closer look at the suspect in this case. And this is something that came as a shock to a lot of people in the community. These two girls disappearinging and one found murdered are linked. How common is it for a suspect to appear five years after the fact and found linked to two people . One recent, one in the past . Part of the challenge here, luke, is should this suspect be responsible for the current disappearance and the past death that we just talked about, there could easily be other victims in the same time frame. Victims that havent been linked. One of the rapes, this rape in 2005 took place 100 miles from charlottesville. So to begin authorities will have to take a compass and draw a circle around 100 miles away and look for the last 10 or 12 years at unsolved cases that this suspect could be responsible for. When i was in charlottesville, i would talk to the folks who knew mr. Matthew, and he was sort of kribed in local reports also as a lenny from a mice of men figure. Someone who is this gentle giant. Not the smartest guy they had ever met. How could someone described like that be connected to two of these crimes . One unsolved for five years. Well, this is one of the things the authorities are going to have to look at, luke. If we go back and take my worst case example, ted bundy. Bundy was able to get to know his victims, put his arms around them. Take them from point a to point b and put them in the car. Just because he was a nice looking guy. He came across very positive. Its very easy for a serial offender, for example, to have two different personalities. Very common, outgoing, friendly on the outside. But perhaps the deadly aspect on the inside. What type of evidence would specifically link matthew to a Sexual Assault from 2005, this murder from 2009, and the disappearance of Hannah Graham . What type of evidence could be found to link him to all three . Well, if we take the normal csi type of evidence, luke, were talking ability dna. Were talking about saliva. Were talking about semen. We could be talking about hairs and fibers, human hairs from the subject that was transferred and realize we also have skin dna. You and i and everybody, were sloughing off skin cells all the time. Those microscopic cells can be found, and within that cell is our dna. These crime labs are very good at finding this dna. If they can find this linking evidence, its going to be up the to the person of interest or suspect to explain how that contact took place. Not only between him and Hannah Graham but also the rape victim from 2005. Its an unbelievable set of circumstances that link all of these three together. We cant thank you enough for coming on here. We appreciate it. Thanks, luke. Breaking news out of north carolina. A student has been shot at albmarle senior high school. Police tell nbc affiliate wcnc that one person has been taken to custody. The school is in lockdown parents are being told to head to a local church. Well bring you more developments as they become available. But as of right now, thats what we know. Developing now. The call for democracy is growing louder and larger in hong kong. Theyre seeking a fre and open election process. M theyre in line with in huh details. And right now in florida, michael dunn has taken the stand in his own defense. Hes charged with killing 17yearold jordan davis in an argument over loud music.

This is what membership is. This is what membership does. Protests in china are few and far between today, but its not stopping this in hong kong. Demonstrators want democracy. A free charge of candidates in the upcoming election, and thats led to clashes with police. But neither side is backing down. Today hong kongs leader says china wont change its mind on voting reforms and prodemocracy protesters are back on the street for a fifth day. Now the white house is weighing in as well. We have been very consistent in voicing our support to the peoples republic of china for universal suffrage and the aspirations of the hong kong people. And were going to continue to do so. Despite coming under chinese control in 1997, hong kong has always been somewhat we moved from china. And the demonstrations are putting beijing in a tough spot. Chinese officials worry if the protests go on they could spread to the mainland wchlt the world watching they may not have the stomach to launch a crackdown. Ian williams has more from hong kong. Reporter its evening in hong kong and the crowds are growing again on the fifth day of protests, the biggest challenge since the protests of 1989. The National Day Holiday in china tomorrow will be u marked here in hong kong with a massive stepping up of protests, aimed at paralyzing the heart of this city. And joining me on the phone is the asia editor for time international. And zoher, thank you for joining us. You tweeted on september 28th, surely this is the end of hong kong as weve known it. What did you mean by that . Well, the thing is what you mentioned earlier, luke. Hong kong has always been separate from the rest of china. Ch even after the return of the territory to china in 1997. The chinese promise that hong kong would be governed under an innovative but not testeded before template of countries to one system. And for the first years after the handover in 1997 things were pretty good. We had economic problems, but not political problems. But what has happened in the last recent years and particularly since the new leadership under ping came to power in china is theres been a harder line not just to hong kong, but basically china in general. Now and on august 31st the chinese authorities announced that hong kong would have a restricted and limited democratic election system. Basically that was the last straw. So what i meant is the way hong kong has been under the british and for a period after its return to china, that is changing and is probably changing for good. Over the last few years there have been a lot of reports about ram pat corruption within the ruling party on the chinese mainland. I read one analyst perspective that perhaps the crack down on hong kong is a move to try to shore up hardline support in china. This idea that were not messing around. How much would the corruption within the ruling party affect this . You know, the president has made anticorruption a really big part of his agenda. And theres several reasons hes doing this. One because its good to do. Two, he things china needs to reform economically and he needs to get rid of this. But also theres a political agenda. It does help him get rid of political opponents. We have to acknowledge that. And i think the fourth reason is it is a popular thing. Xi is excite popular at home because hes a strong leader, hes a national leader. And the chinese do like strength. Whether this is a factor in the hong kong thing, i think the relevance is that he basically believes that china should be assertive and even aggressive in the dealings with the neighbors on the maritime dispute. So you know, hong kong is asking for democracy now, but the timing isnt that good because theyre asking it at a time when china itself is being quite hardlined. Doher, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Up next, a National Name making headlines in wisconsin.

Hoping big names in kansas, maine and michigan can offset potential losses in illinois, connecticut and colorado. No governorship is a bigger party pride than wisconsin where scott walker faces his third election in four years after beating by a recall attempt in 2012. Yesterday he brought in new Jersey Governor Chris Christie while Michele Bachmann was campaigning across the state for burke. Christie called her a plagiarist using word for word from governors in other states. What really matters is the honesty and integrity of whoever is behind the desk. She cut and paesed something and is selling it off as her own. I dont know if thats what they teach at Harvard Business school. Ive never been there. I dont think thats the person you want behind the desk in wisconsin. Zblf do you think its ironic for voters to hear you talk about the the integrity with the bridge gate scandal . I dont think it is at all. Theres nothing to indicate me or anyone else had anything to do with what went on there. Whoa. When 2016 came up he was awkwardly standing next to walker and bent over backwards to describe him as a friend. Governor christie, would Governor Walker make a great president . Hes a great governor. He would do good at any executive position he wanted to pursue. I know this much because ive spoken to him about it. Hes not focused on anything beyond november 4th and neither am i. Good question by our own casey hunt there. Mark is here with this mornings read. Christies role as a surrogate. A lot of speculation a year ago that he was damaged goods. Hes even saying the sbigty is at stake over plagiarism. Interesting tough. He is the chairman of the republican governors association. You saw in the clip why the bridge gate scandal is a longterm problem for him. It seems like all the indications are he will be exonerated. Nothing is going to link him necessarily to everything that happened there. But people can ask the question. Youre blaming mary burke for plagiarism. More somebody says what about bridgegate . Its always going to dog him. President obama is blaming his intelligence for underestimating isis, and the question that democrats or even republican pun pundits say. Yeah, two blue state governors. Planning to see. Its true. A big win ahead. Mark murray. Thank you for joining us. A live look at capitol hill where Julia Pearson is minutes away from testifying before a white House Committee. Keep it here on msnbc for full coverage. Up next, a lot of questions about the growth of isis. Well she you hour the terror group emerged. Ron johnson is going to weigh in on a conversation about it next. Ft dont go anywhere. My feet hu. It felt like hot pins and needles coming from the inside out of my skin.

The pentagon said its getting harder to find fighters changing their tactic, but its not stopping them from trying. They dropped bombs to keep isis from taking over. Thats on top of air strikes overnight. The u. S. Have hit allies in syria at least 66 times in the past two weeks. On monday Benjamin Netanyahu applauded the efforts. He says the world has to stop isis before its too late. You know the famous american saying. All politics is local. For the military it is limited. All politics is global. Because their ultimate goal is to dominate the world. While theres some debate about what and when we knew about the isis threat, its roots go much deeper than a few years ago. Aman has been on the ground covering the crisis in the middle east. Hes got a closer look for us right now about how he got for here. Lets go to class, teach us. Good morning, luke. Its going to be hard for anyone to explain. It may seem like a long time ago. You may remember this country. Well. Well, thats what happens when you rely on technology. But the country that were referring to is afghanistan. You may remember that the u. S. Went to war there after 9 11. It went after one country, one organization. Al qaeda. Shortly after that when the u. S. Decided to invade iraq, al qaeda spread. The fighters came and set up shop. That was the beginning of the ideology spreading. Soon the splinter groups began popping up across the region. In yemen. What happened then . The u. S. Went after al qaeda there using air strikes. That didnt stop the group. Al qaedas ideology and offshoot groups still spread, reaching places as far away as north africa, mali and somalia, where the u. S. Also continued to use air strikes. Then demonstrations in syria were peaceful until they began using force. Thousands were killed before protesters began taking up arms. Many of them became radicalized by the war. Groups of fighters began to form organizations, drawing on the religious ideology of al qaeda and others. Al qaeda and iraq joined the fight in syria. But the new generation of leaders led by this man had an even more extreme ideology. They morphed their group into a new organization and called themselves the Islamic State of iraq and syria and split from al qaeda. Soon isis became the most lethal and deadly force in the area reigning terror. And this summer it shocked the world when the fighters exploited a weak government in iraq to bring them under their control. So the u. S. Decided it had to act, and it did. It began using air strikes in syria and in iraq. Now more than a decade of war, half a dozen of countries struck by the United States using air strikes and drones and what have you. Its now in a very difficult position. This time in iraq in syria. And just after the u. S. Began strikes against isis and syria, a group in algeria identified itself as an offchute and raised fears that isis, just like al qaeda did a decade ago is spreading. 13 years of ache strikes and wars to destroy al qaeda. Are military strikes and wars destroying one terrorist organization only to produce newer, more extreme ones . Luke . Thank you for that very good report. We appreciate it. Take care. Ayman will be answering your questions live on twitter today. Visit speakout. Msnbc. Com. With reports like that, it may seem hard to understand why president obama said u. S. Intelligence underestimated the isis threat. Its no surprise they are pushing back. The cia says there were warnings and a paper trail. Mike rogers says his committee called on the administration to address the threat in syria a year ago and a number of News Agencies reported on isis victories in iraq in realtime. Heres what the press secretary rear admiral told andrea mitchell. It wasnt that we werent watching them. It wasnt that we werent aware of their growth and development. The lieutenant it haved in the spring about isil and their growth and development and how they were watching them. But i dont think we completely fully appreciated the speed with which they can move and how well resourced and now fast, how lightning fast they could be in the summertime. With me now is Wisconsin Republican senator ron johnson, a member of the Foreign Relations committee. Senator, thank you so much for being on the show. Good morning, luke. I got over to capitol hill. I have to tell you a bunch of what we heard last year was the government shutdown, the problems with the obamacare exchanges, illegal immigration. There are not a lot of people beating their drum about the threat of isis. What did we know last year, and why werent members of congress more vocal if the president wasnt being vocal . Well, lets face it. President obama is the commander in chief. And hes really in control of the situation. I think there were hearings. People were concerned. A number of peek spoke out about it. In the end president obama controls the foreign policy. Hes the commander in chief. And the bottom line here is he was calling isis a jv team. He was denying reality. He wanted to believe his own narrative that al qaeda was decimated, they were on the run, and that his strategy of peace through withdrawal was working. It didnt work. It hasnt worked. It wont work. At least hes facing reality. Hes starting to face stronger, more resolute action. Lets hope his strategy is going to work h this time. Isis seems to be withstanding these air strikes. Certainly disrupted them a little bit. They are not necessarily disappearing off the face of the earth. Can these continue going on as they are and be effective if there is not some sort of ground force . Well, i think the airstrikes are effective at stopping isis advance. Thats probably about all its going to be good for. Because as the earlier guest was talking about, isis, theyre not stupid. Theyre not going top stand out there in the open and subject themselves to disruption through airstrike. Theyre going to infiltrate into communities. Theyre going to do what hamas has done in gaza. Get amongst the population, hide amongst the people. Theyll try to be protected by individuals. Airstrikes will simply not be effective at defeating isis. We can stop their advance. If you want to defeat them and do the goal president obama has set, destroy isis, youll need some kind of ground forces. And then the question question forces will be employed to do that. I was in wisconsin in march covering paul ryan. I was in concerted areas of the state. Almost every constituent, to a person, said we dont want to have our sons and daughters back on the middle eastern grounds dying and giving blood. Do you support possibly the use of Ground Troops at one point to advance the mission . And how would it play with your constituents . Luke i think what youre seeing is American People just in the recent polls are acknowledging the reality that president obama was denying. You know, its not whether were going to choose to go to war. The choice has been made for us . 1993 when islamic terrorists tried to take down the World Trade Center towers. The american public, you know, hates the reality but theyre willing to face the real they islamist terrorists are at war with america and our only choice is are we going fight the war on the defense or go on the offense and how do you go on the offense . And what im hearing from, you know, members of the military that were in iraq theyre ticked off about the fact that all of their hard fought games were pretty well frittered away by bugging out of there, not leaving a stablizing force and now iraq has desin grated. Isis was able to rise from the ashes what was al qaeda in iraq. Theyre not happy about that. And i think america and certainly our military its upheaval that has to be defeated. Senator ron johnson. Thank you. We appreciate it. It looks like a prolong struggle.
