News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King good morning President Trump spent a good part of his time this week attacking 4 Democratic congresswoman his attacks both verbal and on social media have made these lawmakers Representatives Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Ilhan Omar and Presley and Rashida clay but the most visible Democrats in the country more visible in fact than the 20 plus Democrats who are running for president Democratic analyst Amol Simmons is with us now he's worked as an advisor for several Democratic candidates he also hosts a show on Hill t.v. It's called Why you should care Good morning Jamal good morning to well all right let's revisit some of what has happened this week because it has been a busy week the president held a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday and the crowd started chanting about Congresswoman Omar This is what they were saying. I they're shouting send her back Omar is a u.s. Citizen but she was born in Somalia Democratic leaders and some Republicans condemned that chant but g.o.p. Strategist Scott Jennings was on the show yesterday and he told us that he doesn't like this message because she's an American but that message is working to destabilise Democrats I think he is unifying his party and he is helping to fracture the Democratic Party and so if you're thinking of it purely tactically Yeah I think fractured Democrats help President Trump get reelected in 2020 you think he's right I don't think it's destabilizing the Democratic Party what it we're doing here is. Why the president is going after Democrats he is also energizing Democrats so that Democrats are really coming together around this idea of standing up against in a phobia you know what we've seen from the Chinese Exclusion Act to the ship that was turned around the St Louis when the ship of Jewish refugees showed up the United States to. What we saw in Charlottesville just in 2017 the president's actions are along in a long line of xenophobic reaction this country has had to immigrants and to people who are diverse and so Democrats recognize that and what you saw the 235 member vote in the house tell you Democrats are fractured in fact all Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against the president's words to defend the 4 women that the president attacked they voted to condemn his remarks is racist Yeah let me ask you something about Democratic unity or disunity this all started because last week Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi got into kind of spat with these congress women they opposed her approach to a border funding bill and then she criticized them in the New York Times do you think that rift is really over. Present progressive Democrats are trying to do something which is very different that I think what Nancy Pelosi is up to NICMOS is concerned about passing bills right and so when she says they only have 4 votes because Nancy Pelosi has rolled that's what matters in the world of Aiyana presently and Ocasio Cortez and the other women what they're doing is laying out something as a different course for Democrats that this may be a little more long term it appeals to people out in the country and I think a lot of people in the country may be postponing to that because for you can like it or you could not like it you can think it's real or not real but the Green New Deal is now something that people recognize that the Democrats have a climate change policy and people can decide how much of their climate change policy they want to be for or against That's something that Democrats across the country have been hungering for which is to have some have big bold ideas and big plans that were passed this year but may be something Democrats could achieve in the long term that's interesting because moderate Democrats will say look this kind of progressive ideas will not win over Trump voters you think they might be missing something well the question is which trump voters are you going after and I'm not exactly sure Trump all Trump voters are equal parent. If you talk to somebody like Stephanie triac over at EMILY's List who runs that organization focused on electing women she would say you think of the lunch but the guy sitting at the counter with a lunch pail in Pennsylvania or Ohio but maybe you should think about the guy if you think about the woman who serving in the coffee at that lunch counter right when Democrats won in 2018 they won because they had a huge turnout from base Democrats and then they were able to sway a bunch of women to come over and vote particularly non-college educated white women who were willing to go along with the broader Democratic agenda that is that's the target population for Democrats in the election and of course the party will try to appeal it was many people as possible but the party should not let up on things. Like being pro immigration worried about police brutality worried about some of the more progressive issues that are on the docket in order to try to woo some voters who just just may not be that many of these guys who would ever vote for a Democrat under any circumstance you've advised many Democratic campaigns and I wonder if you were in that position today what would you tell one of the people who are running for president because that person is supposed to be the voice of the Democratic Party but these Congresswoman because of the president's attention are taking up that space what should a White House hopeful do well let me tell you something the person voted for President will not have to worry about any individual member of Congress so much money and attention focused on them that they will dwarf any other voice and become the standard bearer for the party even if the president keeps on talking about these Congresswoman because he's the one giving them the attention in the present going to say what the present president say what the president's going to say what Democrats have to do is offer a clear compelling and concise vision for the future an alternative to what Alex I was going to say we can't be in a position of only reacting to Donald Trump Jamal Simmons is a Democratic strategist and he also hosts a show on Hill t.v. Called why you should care thanks Jim thank you so much. We have a story of a person killed in the Philippines drug war his death is one of thousands police admit to killing more than 5500 people in the campaign ordered by President robbery go to Territory Police have previously admitted to killing more and the official number of whatever it should be does not include extra judicial killings the human rights groups estimate at $20000.00 people but this is the story of just one man N.P.R.'s Julie McCarthy heard the dead man's story from his mom the net to steal your hands me a photograph eerie street lights illuminating the scene she's in the foreground crumpled beside a dead body in the background scores stand here and. It was October 3rd 2017 and $2.00 territories drug war was sweeping through the sprawling Manila slum of toned witnesses that night told the net that for masked men Ward up on motorcycles one sopping next to her son Aldrin who'd been talking with friends in the street and have them by the moment is that being asked his friend said the man pulled out a gun and that says he forced Aldrin to kneel and said What's your name and shot him the post-mortem report cites multiple gunshot wounds to the head neck and body and that says when the police arrived they stood by and made no attempt to determine whether her son was still alive the 2 tear to administrations anti drug operation now in its 3rd year has targeted poor small time settlers and drug users the net admits that her son $32.00 when he was killed did use drugs she speaks of him in the present tense medium and they saw how I am close shop on nothing then Shia is a mother I know when he's using a fight over here but he's not violent and doesn't steal my Usenet reason enough to kill him if the government really wants to it can rehabilitate him the dangerous drug sport says there are now 60 drug trade. Centers nationwide it's no comfort to the net because studio who says more than a half a dozen men were gunned down on the same street as her son either in police drug raids or by masked gunmen who she says operate with impunity I'm. Guessing that the question has how long are they going to keep killing there so Cian this especially to tear down he's given so much power to the police they're not police anymore they're murderers families including the nuts have moved off the street that has seen so much killing me and a lot of them are scared all the way because Stelios death echoes many that have been profiled by human rights groups including Amnesty International the past year it investigated on the new front line of the war on drugs Boola Khan just north of Manila amnesties Nicholas Bekele and says in every police operation they examined lethal force was used because police said suspects were armed and fought back and that's just difficult for killing thousands of people over the last 3 years and of course it's a complete myth these are the stories that the u.n. Human Rights Council is seeking back home and says it's the proper venue because amnesty found that the Philippines justice system is broken the courts are not powerful enough to rein in the police and therefore there is no hope for getting justice in the Philippines is the precedent my office is following this situation of human rights in the Philippines very closely under Michel Bachalo a the un human rights council will become the 1st United Nations body to officially review alleged human rights abuses in the Philippines last week the council approved a resolution proposed by Iceland initiating the inquiry It also urges the Philippine government to cooperate with the un president do territory who bristles at international criticism raged threatening to pull out of the Human Rights Council. And break ties with Iceland do terror Deja picks the un resolution as an assault on Philippine sovereignty and fumed that if it ever came to a trial over crimes related to his drug war he would not answer to an international tribunal I would have in the. Us was doing away. You still want to leave when you've been ill we have our opposition Senator Francis punctually non says while he's saddened that the un must step in he says the pressure could prompt a rethinking of the policy on the illegal drugs and establish basic facts we'd like to know why and how we may be able to end the daily killings and hold those accountable while the u.n. Probe hell thousands died in 2 territories drug war and the net because to Leo says she will go on searching for the truth about who killed her son and why they don't need that again we don't need to have that only it shouldn't have gotten this far she says it's inhuman Julie McCarthy n.p.r.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King after months of negotiation former special counsel Robert Mueller is finally scheduled to appear before Congress next week we're learning more about how those hearings will go on Wednesday before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees with us now is N.P.R.'s congressional reporter to makea Tim Hey there so Tim Robert Mueller has said that his $448.00 page report would be his testimony that is the end of the story are members of Congress going to agree to that well probably not but it depends on the committee we've got a preview from some of these committee staff about how they're preparing for Muller the Judiciary Committee says it will mostly stick to what the special counsel wrote in volume 2 that's about alleged obstruction of justice the Intelligence Committee wants to expand beyond the conclusions that Muller reached in volume one and what volume one says about Russian interference in the 2016 election they really want to ask about the evidence and hell Miller came to its conclusions so it was tricky for these committees because everybody wants to ask Robert Mueller a question right that was one of the reasons for the delay some Congress people said we're not going to have time has that problem been solved so you're right that they had to postpone these She hearings by a week after complaints by both Democrats and Republicans lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were saying we just don't have enough time to ask meaningful questions so what we've heard now is that they're going to operate based on regular order and in the house what that means is that there will be 5 minutes for every member to ask questions like any normal hearing but Muller's not going to be able to stay all day he's doing 3 hours with the Judiciary Committee in 2 hours with the Intelligence Committee the trick for members and their staff is going to be to figure out how to use that time effectively aides told us for example that they've been watching videos of old hearings at which mall or appeared before Congress is kind of like a coach studying film her and. Upcoming game one aide told us that Muller never uses 10 word answers when a one word answer will do and they really expect him to give a lot of simple yes or no answers a lot of lightning round type questioning if that's what they're expecting Why do members of Congress even want to do this hearing with him so as usual Democrats and Republicans see the world in different ways and and why they want to get Muller before Congress many people including quite a number of members of Congress haven't actually read them or port it's well over 400 pages so the Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler of New York has said look all he basically wants is for people to see and hear him all are on television saying what he's already written because that will break through for more people the Republicans on these committees has spent many months attacking Miller saying that the f.b.i. The Justice Department the special counsel's office have been biased that they'll be able to press smaller on questions they know will require him to repeat embarrassing facts about the bureau for example about the former special agent Peter struck in the former f.b.i. Lawyer Lisa Paige All right you're the expert here do you think we're going to learn anything new from these hearings in never know but the things that Muller is legendary for being tight lipped he's expressed himself he says I don't want to be on Capitol Hill for these hearings he didn't speak a word through the entire course of the investigation even though it was the biggest political story in the world Democrats are trying to tamp down expectations for a big new revelation they say they just want to connect the dots but we'll be carrying the hearings live gavel to gavel here at n.p.r. So everyone listening can tune in and figure it out for themselves N.P.R.'s to mac thanks so much Jim thanks a lot. And it's when we hear from Story Corps 50 years ago Apollo 11 was on its way to the moon carrying Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins back on Earth. 10 year old Greg force was dreaming of going to space him self Greg's father Charles worked on the Apollo missions and his family lived on qual home to a massive antenna that connected the astronauts to Mission Control Greg is now 60 years old and came to Story Corps with his daughter Abby to remember the little known role that he played in the success of that historic mission.

So that evening Apollo 11 was returning from the moon we were at home getting close to my bed time when my dad called said that a bearing had broken in that big huge dish intended they used to track the space ship so they couldn't communicate with the capsule as they were coming back in his idea was to pack grease around the bearing but the problem was the access hole to the bearing was small and what he wanted to do was see if my arm would fit through that hole so he took me out there and we climbed up on the antenna you had to go up these big Access ladders so I would take a big handful of grease you know you squish it comes out between your fingers and I stuck them down in there impact them the best I could me being able to climb up there and help was kind of like I was part of the crew they're just doing the job they need to be done and then the next day some of our friends heard a news report about 10 year old boy save the day I mean having is pretty dang in Borean My dad helped with Apollo 11.

News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep a significant trumpet ministration change for asylum seekers may not be as big as advertised the u.s. Made what seemed like a dramatic move days ago it was said to apply to people fleeing Central America or other troubled places the new rules said that before coming to the u.s. Border asylum seekers need to seek shelter somewhere else 1st or they wouldn't be considered now the new acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection says that policy is starting out in a far more limited way than it seemed this is significant isn't it comes from N.P.R.'s John Burnett who spoke with Mark Morgan yesterday Hey there John when was the Ok so what was the rule and what it seemed to be and what does it really write well the new asylum rule it's a big deal it was announced with great fanfare earlier this week is a major change in asylum law it would empower u.s. Officials effectively to deny most asylum seekers if they don't 1st apply for protection in a country they pass through on their way to America which is highly unlikely and it sounded like it was going to be an earthquake an asylum law all the pro immigrant groups denounced it tons of stories in the media but Mark Morgan told me yesterday it's actually just a small pilot project at the moment very limited although the new federal regulation allows us to apply that all 2000 miles along the southwest border we're not going to do that sort of really pilot in just one location he said though it applies to most asylum seekers there road testing at just 2 stations in the busy Reed Grande Valley if it works out they'd like to expand it along the entire southern border but immigration lawyers have already filed 2 federal lawsuits to block it Morgan told me they expect a federal judge to issue an injunction any day now to block the new regs which would leave them dead in the water for this as a dramatic change John and it seems to fit the pattern of some other Trump administration announcements like the travel ban where it starts out as something really big it gets narrowed a narrowed and in this case you've actually got an official saying realistically this isn't going to happen at all for now the judge is going to block whatever we do so we're not going to do very much. That's the takeaway Ok And it's not the only thing that Mark Morgan is facing we should mention he's new in the job just been there a couple of weeks which means he arrived right around the time that news was emerging of a private Facebook group for a current and former agents of the Border Patrol in which some of the posts mocked migrants as well as Democrats in Congress so we know c.b.p. Internal affairs is investigating at least $62.00 current border patrol agents who were members this Facebook page as we recall poke fun at dead migrants and made sexist jokes about Latina Congress women critical of the agency and the commissioner seemed to be waiting for that question some of that the images were out there absolutely horrendous wrong and not consistent with the way the c.b.p. Or specifically Border Patrol conducts themselves period I mean we're actually looking at potential criminal charges that has been talked about just to show how serious we're talking that I asked him to clarify what kind of criminal charges and he said he couldn't talk about an ongoing investigation he did say several agents have already been suspended from the force and there may be more what if anything did Mark Morgan tell you John about the massively overcrowded conditions for migrants who are being detained by Customs and Border Protection these are conditions that can no longer be denied we've seen the photos right and as you recall the government watchdog released 2 recent reports calling out c.b.p. For these dreadful conditions in the holding cells you know so crowded for adults some had to stand on toilets to breathe kids went without access to showers or hot food sometimes for weeks and Morgan acknowledged the agency couldn't handle the crush of migrants but he claimed they've always gotten the basic necessities they're getting medical care they're getting hot food they're getting showers they're getting close the whole 9 yards the inspector general reports seem to suggest a little less than 9 yards. Well I played him part of an interview I had with woman named muddy in l a Watson She runs a migrant children Brownsville and she said they tell her all the time about conditions in the Border Patrol detention cells lights are on 24 hours they're awakened every 2 hours all night long they sleep on cold concrete This is their way of harassing them and then telling him If you don't like the way we're treating him then here sign these papers that you want on your own go back to your home country and if you look at the totality of the president's policies detaining migrants in these deplorable cells separating families at the border making asylum seekers wait in Mexico immigrant advocates have come to a conclusion the trumpet ministration wants to punish migrants and make them miserable so they stop coming in the 1st place Mark Morgan told me that's absolutely false he said he's never had a conversation along those lines and they're trying to do everything they can to enforce the rule of law maintain integrity in the system N.P.R.'s John Burnett thanks for the interview about Steve. There are 2 interesting new polls out this month that show evidence of a change in u.s. Culture that's been developing for a while now Americans are finding less meaning in organized religion and they are less confident that ministers are able to help them here's N.P.R.'s Tom Gjelten there are several pieces to this story more people have been saying they have no religious affiliation church attendance is down sharply and now a new Gallup poll finds that barely one in 3 Americans say they have a great deal of confidence in church or organized religion that's an all time low well below that of other institutions quite a change from 173 when the question was 1st asked Mohammad Yunus is Gallup's editor in chief it was the institution that garnered most public confidence compared to all the others whether it's the military police various branches of government and more sober findings in a poll by The Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center n o r c 3 a 4 Americans say they rarely or no. Ever consult clergy Peter Marty the senior pastor at St Paul's Lutheran Church in Davenport Iowa is not surprised people don't hold ministers in high regard given how many don't even set foot in church if I never enter a restaurant or dance hall that I drive by every day you know I have no reason to be particular confident of what's happening inside of there from the food to the d.j. But the declining view of clergy holds even among people who do go to church Marty has an explanation for that as well people used to come to us because we're the new something they didn't know or they need help or you can get help anywhere you want on the Internet nowadays a big change from the olden days in America says Gerardo Martino a sociology of religion professor at Davidson College once upon a time it was the pastor who was the most educated in the most people believe dealing with emotional lives of people or the practical necessities in a community in which the understood community knew what was going on and could connect congregants with someone who could help them another reason people don't look to pastors so much my t. Says many pastoral duties are now carried out by lay people ordinary members who are willing to go to the hospital bring meals to people's homes what other important point organized religion has suffered more than other institutions but almost all have seen their reputations decline gallops Yunus says because people are more connected they know more about the institutions that serve them including the bad things information about you know mistreatment of funds or mistreatment of congregants tends to travel a lot quicker than in many of the decades where we're asking these questions one institution that has gained confidence among Americans in the last 4 decades the u.s.
