destruction. this is threatening a feud between the top agencies and the president-elect white house. we're getting phew reaction from moscow. we'll get to that in a moment. let's bring in eugene scott and tom lobianco. good morning. the strategy behind this statement. just three sentences. unsigned. what -- what is the -- the calculation here from the trump folks? >> it's a continuation of donald trump's message during the campaign that he believes he knows more than the intelligence community. that's a hard sell to make at this point, given that we know he only is getting about once a week president daily briefs gnat would give him more information about national security globally. that statement is inaccurate. these are not the same people that were heading the departments when the bush administration was in place. this is new information and new revelations about what is happening abroad. >> tom, i talk t about the possibility that this would cause a feud between the intelligence community and the incoming trump white house. these are the career folks. could there be some real life and death important consequence to this what looks to be the beginning of a feud? >> sure. well, it's up to the president to decide, you know, who he wants to listen to. among his advisers. among the executive branch. you know, it was fascinated -- we're talking about russia meddling in the former soviet union. by all accounts, putin, a former kgb agent, right, involved here. all right in our election. this is absolutely shocking. what trump decides to do with it is up to him. but by all accounts, there's been some level of impact here. as eugene pointed out this is not the same people who made the fuel review of russia's involvement or interference in the election. even if something is found, that may be where it ends. thank you both. >> thank you. we're getting reaction from the kremlin this morning. jill doherty. former cnn moscow bureau chief joining us live. jill, always good to see you. i understand you received a text there the kremlin spokesman dmitri pet kof. what did he say? >> what the russians have beeen saying all along, essentially. prove it. he says they're not new conclusions. seems like naked blaming. no evidence to be based on. he says it looks to be an attempt to influence the president-elect with a certain negative image of our country. the foreign minister said the same thing. we the russians have asked for details from the americans that they won't provide. again, where is the evidence? the difficulty here, as a lot of people know, is that the united states really would have grave difficulty in saying precisely how it got this information. it would reveal sources and methods and ways that the united states has of getting information about russia in a lot of different ways. and they don't want to reveal that. so the russians are very aware of that. they -- everyone kind of does the same thing on some level. they know that the americans can't give this data. completely. so that's obama's dilemma right now. he's saying collect all the information. i want it by the time the inauguration. before the inauguration. but, will they reveal all of it? they may not be able to reveal all of it. this could continue to roil and go along as it's been going. >> we look at the russian response, the latest russian response from dmitry peskov, there's no conclusion, no evidence. seems like a deflection asserting that the u.s. administration, the current administration or perhaps the n int intel, current intel are attempting to taint donald trump's view of russia. has anyone from russia come out and said, we did not do this? has that verbiage been used? >> the government has said, we are not doing this. right from the begin, they're say, we didn't do this. then the next thing is, and prove, if you have some information, give it to us. but i think, what's happening here is, and the phrase has been used, you know, this is a new threshold. and people don't really know how this could all turn out. say the united states really decides it wants to retaliate. and it has said, vice president biden has said, we'll do something in our own time. but, what do you do? do you take some type of action that could really send a message? you know, by taking down electric systems or something? or do you out the people responsible? these -- it's a very serious decision. by the president. whoever that will be, to take some response. >> serious and delicate. no doubt. you answered my next question. jill dougherty, thank you. a shutdown was avoided last night when a budget billionaire roily passed through the senate. democratic senators planned to block the bill unless it incl e included an extension for benefits for retired coal miners. an eerie confession from a mass shooter who taughted a church. dylann roof laughing, while telling the fbi, i did it. the bizarre confession tape and why he says somebody had to do it. that's next. fornia walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever?

>> whoa. i had to do it. because somebody had to do something. because you know, black people are killing white people every day. >> so you're deal, is it like -- >> to agitate race relations. >> to make it worse. >> right. >> just make things better. >> but in your mind, making things better, right, because you said in the begins, going back to segregation, white people are -- white people would need to be running the country, right? >> yeah, sure. >> right. i mean, like no more black presidents. no more black politicians, right? >> no more black president, sure. we don't need a black president. >> roof admitted that he drank a little just before visiting the church. he sat with his victims during bible study for about 15 minutes before that slaughter. he fired 70 rounds. a dozen people. here are their faces. they had their eyes closed as they stood for prayers. nine of them were killed. >> roof faces 33 federal charges, including hate crimes. he could be executed if convicted. your first reaction, to this confession that we hear. >> well, it's -- difficult. it's sad. we knew that dylann roof was disturbed. but when you hear his words. the words that come out of his mouth, it -- it's even more troublesome. you try to identify or figure out why someone that young has the hate in his heart of george wallace. and when you hear how he identified with white nationalism. you look at some of the platforms that individuals are giving today. some of the messages coming out of people's mouths today, you raeltz dylann roof's not alone. that's probably the scariest thing. >> i want to play another bit of sound here. he was talking about sitting with these people for about 15 minutes and what he was thinking about in that period of time. let's listen. >> i was sitting there and i was just like thinking about whether i should do it or not. that's why i was sitting there for 15 minutes. just like, oh, you know, because i now e couldn't have just walked out. they didn't say anything to me about the thing on my belt. i wouldn't say spur of the moment. but i just finally decide i had i had to do it. >> from a legal perspective, does that establish premeditation? >> this isn't a case about whodunit. this is one of the more difficult questions that many people in america are going to have to grasp with, including myself, which is whether or not someone believes in the death penalty, if, in fact, you do, this is the case that fits that. dylann's never shied away from whether or not he did it. from the malice in his heart. from the fact that this was a hate crime. and so this is -- you know, even more difficult because you're dealing with a callous individual who killed nine people. you had three survivors. and so, this is not -- we don't have to worry about a slager-like verdict in this case. and i'm referring to the walter scott shooting. this is simply whether roof dies for his crimes or not. >> he's representing himself. what does that tell you about his mind set? and how involved will defense attorneys be? >> they're very involved. he has some of the pre-eminent death penalty lawyers in the entire country at his side. this will be tied up for years and years and years on appeal. however, i'll tell you one of the more difficult things that many of us in south carolina are having to deal with is the simple fact that dylann roof gets to use this platform for the next week or two to talk about his views. first. and second, he's interviewing or examining or bringing to the witness stand many of the same people that were in the room the night that he committed the slaughter. i think he's in for a rude awak awakening. felicia sanders, poly sheppard, two women i know, they're very strong. they were in the room that night. they survived. i think he'll have a rude awakening when he attempts to cross these individuals and talk about the hate that's in his heart. let me just say that the women in this -- the survivors and the families in this case, probably some of the strongest individuals that we have ever seen. and, they're the reason that charleston hasn't fallen apart and that i have strength every day when you're faced with this type of hate. >> bakari sellers, thank you for your insight and reminding us about the strength of the victims. you're right on so many levels here. it is, at the end of the day, because he's not disputed anything, really. it's about keeping him off death row. we'll have to see if that happens. thank you so much. >> thank you. let's turn and take you to baltimore now for the annual army-navy game. coy wire can't wait. he's got a -- i think it's a questionable decision. 30 degrees there in baltimore. >> victor, you know us hairless men need to keep our heads warm. coming up, the army-navy game. we'll hear from one of the greatest navy players of all time. and see one of the coolest traditions of the many here at the army-navy game. from baltimore, coming up. are online right now, searching one topic. that will generate over 600 million results. and if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers like where to treat, can feel even more overwhelming. so start your search with a specialist at cancer treatment centers of america. start with teams of cancer treatment experts under one roof. start where specialists use advanced genomic testing to guide precision cancer treatment... ...that may lead to targeted therapies and more treatment options. start where there's a commitment to analyzing the latest research and conducting clinical trials-to help each patient get the personalized cancer care they deserve. start at one of the cancer treatment centers of america hospitals near you. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com/experts appointments available now. on xfinity x1. okay, so we know that traveling can be stressful. especially this time of year. with smartphones, relief may be in the palm of your hand. we caught up with a couple of travelers to hear which apps they use to stay organized on the go. >> one of the issues that i find when traveling with a group or work colleagues is finances. and money. and who owes what? i use the app split wise. it allows me to keep track of the expenses, categorize them. break up each bill by percentage or amount owed. it allows multiple currencies. and you get a downloadable excel spread sheet at the end. now when i travel, i have no issues. it's all taken care of split wise. >> one way i like to stay organized is i use an app called trip it pro. trip it is an app that will synch with your inbox. it will input all your travel information and itineraries. i click into the app, everything i need to know is right there. i don't worry about documents. looking for e-mails. everything i need is in one easy place. it gives me the latest, up to date travel information. i know if train times have changed. if things are delayed. it's superuseful. (vo) it's the holidays at verizon, and the best deals are on the best network. (both) yes! (vo) with no surprise overages, you can use your data worry free and even carry over the data you don't use. and right now get four lines and 20 gigs for only $40 per line. and, just for the holidays, get the motoz play droid absolutely free. no trade-in required. i love you in that, no, i love you in that. no, i love you in that! (vo) hurry, these offers end soon. get the best deals and the best network, only on verizon. so we're a week away from the first day of winter. >> by the calendar. >> step outside. >> only on the calendar. yeah, freezing temperatures are taking the u.s. by storm. great writing there. has nearly 10 million people throughout the west brace frd a winter storm. there are warnings and watches going into next week. cnn meteorologist alison chinchar. i came back from a place where i had packed my jackets. i came back in shorts and received a rude awakening. >> that would not work for you today. mother nature has not gotten the memo that winter starts next week. she's a week early. we start in the west. the system makes its way toward the east. we have millions under some type of winter watch or advisory from today to wednesday. the system begins to shift later today or tonight. earlier this week, in states like michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, we had multicar pileups. some of which were deadly. we could go through the same stereo again today and tomorrow because this is actually a much more potent system than the one that we had a few days ago. that will likely have at least a few issues. now, in terms of the total amounts, some of these areas could be looking at impressive snowfall accumulations. 8 to 12 inches. great lakes, as much as 20 inches of rain. one of the other things to keep in mind of, the football games taking place starting tomorrow. one is the browns game. this may end up being one of the snowiest games in cleveland history. the previous record was 3.7 inches. we're forecasting five inches for tomorrow. ohio fans are used to it. they're playing the bengals. that should help a little bit. we've been talking the cold temperatures as well. we have the big dip of air starting today. notice the pinks and the white region coming down into portions of the midwest. look at the blue coming down to cities like atlanta and nashville. retreats a little monday and tuesday. then notice how much further south that cold air comes next week. that's right. we're going to get a colder blast of air. maybe doubling some of the temperatures in terms of below average by the time we get to wednesday of the upcoming week. >> we're feeling the blue. >> yes. >> it's christmas. >> well, georgia? >> thank you, alison. donald trump already backing away from one of his campaign promises. take a listen here. [ chanting "lock her up" ] >> that plays great before the election. now, we don't care. we'll tell you why he doesn't want hillary clinton investigated anymore. say that to the nanny cam. it's your tv, take it with you. now you can watch your dvr anywhere, at no extra cost, with directv from at&t. farm fresh ingredients, step-by-step recipes, delivered to your door for less than $9 a meal. get $30 off your first delivery blueapron.com/cook. welcome to saturday. we have been waiting for you. i'm christi paul. >> and i'm victor blackwell. president obama is waking up in new york and will head to the army-navy game in hours. he'll meet with cia designate mike pompeo. all this after he dismissed that the russian government was behind cyberattacks to help donald trump win. >> it says these are the same people that said saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. it's now time to move on and make america great again. this statement was issued after president obama launched a full review into cyberattacks by russia. the president wants it done before he leaves office in january. we should point out russia insist there is is, quote no evidence of hacking. we still have a couple of weeks before inauguration day. donald trump is seemingly going back on one of his campaign promises. you'll remember he promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate hillary clinton for using a private e-mail server. it happened during one of the debates. listen to what he said at one of the thank you rallies just last night. [ crowd chanting "lock her up"). >> that plays great before the election. now, we don't care. >> he's talking about that so-called war on christmas and claims that people have stopped saying merry christmas. watch this. >> and merry christmas, everybody. merry christmas. right? merry christmas. [ cheers and applause ] that's right. they reminded me. we're going to start saying merry christmas again. [ cheers and applause ] how about all those department stores? they have the bells and they have the red walls and they have the snow. but they don't have merry christmas. i think they're going to start putting up merry christmas, merry christmas. >> all right. let's talk about this. let's bring in cnn politics reporter eugene scott and politics reporter tom lobianco. trump says he doesn't feel strongly about prosecuting clinton anymore. we don't care about that now. people in the audience still care. >> absolutely. i mean this is -- you put -- maybe three or four things out there that defined his campaign. that's right up there with building the wall. one of those things where you kind of can't go back on it. so, the thing that i'm watching for at least is how will crowds start to react when they realize that, okay this is not on the table anymore. this really isn't? there's sort of a dynamic that we're still getting used to as political reporters, which is the words aren't always as literal in his -- when he's using them. but the -- in the crowds, and his supporters, they don't take them literally, they take him seriously. what will happen when it becomes serious to them that he's not going to go after her? it think that remains to be seen. >> eugene, is there any evidence that there will be any consequence for donald trump pulling away from that promise he maid that he'll appoint a special prosecutor? >> if you saw only of the crowd's reaction, they just laughed as he said, oh, that played well during the campaign, but not so much right now. i think many of his supporters, especially the base, are just glad he won. i don't know if they wanted to see this fold through. most would have liked to have seen hillary clinton have to face more prosecution or even persecution for her activity. i think this is something that they'll baseball to let go if he holds tight to many of the other promises that he's made. it seems like there's a chance he may not do that. >> tom, let me come to you with the reporting from "the new york times." they're reporting at the top of the trump transition team's list is rex tillerson for secretary of state. the president of exxon-mobil. i want to play for you what he said about his role as a businessman and not representing the u.s. government. let's watch this. from the university of texas just a couple of months ago. >> host governments, resource owners, whether it's russia or yemen or wherever, middle east, make sure they understand that i'm not the u.s. government. i am an american company, and i will be bound by the laws of the united states and other countries. and i'm going to follow those laws. but i'm not here to represent the united states government's interests. i'm not here to defend it nor am i here to criticize it. that's not what i do. i'm a businessman. >> now, if he goes back to these countries as the top diplomat for the u.s., as the secretary of state, there will be some obvious complications, some difficulties now making that turn from businessman to the voice of the president as we're seeing with donald trump. >> sure. you know, traditionally, secretary of state top diplomats, the type of job where, by definition, you have been constrained. you're constrained by all the international dynamics at play. look back just a week ago to the call of the taiwanese president. the fallout from that. these are the kinds of things where, yeah, you're kind of locked in. then again, that's tradition. who is to say that will continue to be the case with trump? i do think however, if you don't play by that book, you're likely to face more problems like the fallout with china from this call with taiwan. the taiwanese president. that's the kind of thing you have to watch out for. obviously, the exxon ceo is incredibly sharp. he knows what he's doing. but, he's not coming out of that world. he's not coming out of fog by b -- foggy bottom as they say about here. >> one of the names off the slis rudy giuliani. let's go back a couple of weeks ago. it seems like much longer than that. this is what he said when there was discussion about his name being in the hat for secretary of state. >> they reported that the choice for secretary of state in a trump administration is down to rudolph giuliani, john bolton. we don't have john here tonight. i'm going to ask you questions about -- >> john would be a very good choice. >> is there anybody better? >> maybe me. i don't know. >> a lot of confidence there from the former mayor. now he's off the list. he says that at least the campaign said he removed himself from consideration. is that the full story? >> not according to our reporting. he probably still does think that he's the better option. it's just probably not something that the campaign agrees with him on. we have reporting that says that he was told previously before the announcement came out that he would not be selected. look, the thing is, this is not as big of a deal as some people perhaps think it is. you can still be a very informal adviser and be very effective and have the ear of the top leader without being in the cabinet. i believe there is a bit of disappointment. this is the position that he wanted. i don't think we'll see a huge departure between giuliani and trump. i believe they're going to the army-navy game together any way. >> the producers are keeping us on time. they're giving me the wrap. i want to get into why later on in the show. thank you both. it's called the greatest rivalry in sports. army versus navy. guess who got a good ticket to that? coy wire. >> good morning to you, christi. victor. 1890 is when this storied rivalry began. there have been ten presidents to come see this game. the game is awesome. wait until you hear about some of the traditions and antics leather leading up to the game. we caught up with some of the folks that ran the game ball all the way here to baltimore. wait until you hear that coming up after the break. hashtag stuffy nose. hashtag no sleep. hashtag mouthbreather. just put on a breathe right strip. it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right. alzheimer's disease the fi is out there.survive and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen by funding scientific breakthroughs, advancing public policy, and providing local support to those living with the disease and their caregivers. but we won't get there without you. visit alz.org to join the fight. you know it's one of the oldest, most heated rifleries in college football. army and navy meeting for the 117th time this afternoon. >> coy wire is in baltimore with all of the pomp and circumstance. and the tradition around the game. >> he lost his hat. >> he got rid of the hat. hey, coy. >> you made me second-guess myself. you said it was a questionable decision. you're a fashionable guy, victor. i heed your word. to quote the 34th president of the united states, and commander of the army, dwight eisenhower. he said the army and the navy are the best of friends 364 1/2 days of the year. on this one saturday afternoon, they're the worst of enemies. we caught up with one of the greatest navy players of all time, keenen reynolds. a member of the baltimore ravens. we asked him his thoughts on this historic rivalry. >> the army-navy game in many opinion is the biggest and best rivalry in all of sports, really. what it means to both sides. it's the biggest thing that you learn as a pleb walking in, is to beat army. the high note of my career at the naval academy. nothing feels better than running on that field with hi teammates. my prediction is obvious. it will be navy in a rout. beat army! >> well, hey, hey, hey, victor, look what i found. i found myself a nice, cozy hat. i'm warm now. one of the things that warms up the rivalry are the traditions. up with of those is the running of the game ball. yesterday, the 13th company of mid shipmen, they ran the game ball 88 miles from annapolis, at the naval academy, through washington, d.c., all the way here last night to baltimore to deliver the ball they'll use in the game. just one of the coolest parts of the many traditions in this rivalry. this is an opportunity today, guys, to watch the men who salute us but now we can salute them. it's the only college football game on in the country. the game is at 3:00. president-elect donald trump will be here. splitting sidelines. half for naifr i have. half for army. so as not the choose sides. can't wait to share more with you. >> you look great in the hat. don't let anybody tell you otherwise. we'll be right back. >> they do it for the rest of us. they're a reminder of what's good in the world and what it truly means to be a hero. >> we give them the foundation from which they the thrive. >> we have transformed the lives of many clirn. >> tomorrow night, cnn presents a special live event. the 10th annual cnn heroes all-star tribute. >> tonight, we gather to celebrate extraordinary men and women. >> join hosts anderson cooper and special co-host kelly ripa as we honor ten extraordinary people. the tenth annual cnn heroes all-star tribute. tomorrow at 8:00. i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. donald trump's wife melania says she'll not be moving to washington initially. ivanka, however, is planning to move to the capital. which leads to a question, writes kate anderson brower, on cn thrks.com, who exactly will be the first lady come noon january 20th. the answer, i think is now one. melania may prefer to remain in new york. it doesn't make ivanka the de facto first lady. kate anderson brower with us now. kate, good to see you. give us your first take on when you heard melania was not coming to washington immediately. is that really that uncommon, for a mom with a child? >> it is. in modern times. we haven't had a first lady do that. jackie kennedy was not particularly excited about moving to washington and uprooting her family. she did it. she left to go to virginia as often as she could to ride her horses. bess presumen wz nout a fan of being in washington. a list of first ladies who haven't enjoyed the job and have been kind of commuting from their homes back and forth to the white house. to make the decision not to come down for the first several months. i think it's likely she will eventually. it shows her commitment to her son. it's interesting to look at ivanka trump's role. she's not going to bo the de facto first lady. i think she'll be something like we have never seen before. just like this spt something we have never seen before. to me, that's fascinating. >> you write when former vice president al gore emerged from his meeting, he made sure to tell reporters that he met with ivanka trump first but spent the bulling of the time with her father. what do you make of that? that need to say i spent my time with ivanka? >> i think for al gore, vice president, almost president himself, he doesn't what it to look like he just met with the president-elect's daughter. he wanted to be clear he met with the president also. the fact that she's facilitating these meetings says a lot about her power. she's house-hunting with jared kushner. friends of the trump say nobody is more trusted in that circle than jared kushner. and ivanka and her two brothers are advisers to their father. we'll see at a press conference what he intends to do to separate his business from politics. this is unchartered territory. we have had first ladies that have not been the spouse of the president. in fact, the first time the term first lady came up was in the mid 19th century. it was james bu cannon's niece. the first first lady of the land, she was called. she was not married to the president. she was his niece. we have had women serve that role that have not been the president's wife. i don't think it will be ivanka trump. >> kate andersen brower. we appreciate it. good to see you. >> thank you. the next hour of your new day is coming up after a short break. stay with us. what's the best way to get two servings of veggies? v8 or a fancy juice store? ready, go! hi, juice universe? one large rutabaga, with

north korean actions just re-enforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both prime minister abe and to president trump. i think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u.s. policy in asia, with regard to president trump's call with xi jinping and secretary mattis's trip to the region, i think the trump administration said look, we're here and we're not going to be an easy issue to deal with. >> right now the national security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. how much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time? >> i think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the state department, particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u.n. security council as well. i don't expect a full-fledged resolution, though. >> we keep hearing that china is like the lynch pin in all of this. why isn't china tougher on north korea. >> turning the korean peninsula into a u.s. military ally, a democratic military ally right on china's border. but there's a lot more that china could do, they promised to do so in the last security council resolution, particularly as i said on coal, but in the last order of 2016, north korean coal imports were at a record high, so they're clearly not doing what they're supposed to were referring to. but this is the ninth time they have tried to test this missile. the last two times before the election were unsuccessful, and this was a successful missile launch, and this could mean that they're perfecting their missiles, that they may want to send to iran or others. both japan and the u.s. and it's allies need to focus on and it's the number one security issue. >> you just brought upp iran an its nuclear missiles. which do you think is the biggest threat. >> i think the real threat is north korea. iran has a developing nuclear program, north korea has one. they're trying to create a missile that can reach the united states. so i think while the stakes are high in both cases, and there has been a lot of attention paid to the iran case, the north korean case, as president obama told president trump reportedly in their white house meeting is really going to be the number one issue in this administration. >> thanks for offering your expertise for us. still to come, people in president trump's inner circle are still focused on the numbers from election day. a senior white house official staying on the claim that millions of people voted illegally. so what's their strategy here? plus the fight for the president's travel ban, could a new executive order come as early as tomorrow? and later, sean spicer's tough week from fighting with the press to late-night parodies, does the white house press secretary have a pr problem? that's all ahead, you're live in the cnn newsroom. not back. it's looking up not down. it's feeling up thinking up living up. it's being in motion... in body in spirit in the now. boost. it's not just nutrition. it's intelligent nutrition. with 26 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. all in 3 delicious flavors. it's choosing to go in one direction... up. boost. be up for it. how to brush his teeth.

(vo) data plans aren't one size fits all. and since most people use less than 5 gigs, the last thing you want is to end up paying for data you don't use. now verizon introduces the one plan that's right for you. switch, and for just $55 get 5 gigs on america's best network. that's the right amount of data at a great price. plus, get our best moto droids for $15 a month or less. finally, all the data you need, on the network you want. verizon. with the deduction findingombine superpower of ibm watson? ah! you get more money. that's what you could get. h&r block with watson. get your taxes won.

>> yes. not the majority, but it's a few. >> in what way? >> in the way we all have this suspicion that, you know, that he's not, he lies a lot. he says things that aren't true, that's the same as lying, i guess. he, you know, 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally, there's a new one about people going into massachusetts. >> thousands and thousands in a bus, yeah. >> and, you know, that is not the norm for a president of the united states or actually for a human being. >> we should note, cnn cannot confirm franken's assertion that a few of his colleagues have expressed thds concerns. former political commentator and communications districtor for ted cruz and the president obviously doesn't want a headline like this out there, even if he thinks it's absolutely ridiculous, how does he combat it? >> you combat it just by taking it head on. look, it is unequivocal facts matter, and that goes for whether they're spoken by the president, the administration or those in the media. and it's important that everyone be factual. while on occasion, the typical story line may have changed for the president. but for members of the senate, or members of congress to question his mental health, that's uncalled for, that's p p reprehensible and there should not be any of that. to continue, it's just disrespectful and uncalled for in the presidential arena. >> what do you make of it? >> i don't know donald trump, i don't think alice knows him, i don't think al franken does, but you know who's been friends with him for years and attended his wedding? howard stern, he said donald trump has a very fragile ego, he wants to be liked, he wants to be loved, he wants people to cheer for him. last time i checked, donald trump was pro abortion. he might be delusional because i love this, i don't know why people don't pick this up. the day after he was inaugurated, he goes to the cia. he said the rain stopped when i came out and spoke, and then the sun came out and then when i stopped speaking, it started raining again. that's ee's either not true, o he's -- those illegals who allegedly voted for clinton right before they did the bowling green massacre, should have us all concern econcerned. >> we did hear stephen miller doubling down on the unsubstantiated voter fraud claims earlier this week. >> voter fraud is a serious problem in this country, you have millions of people who are registered in two states, who are dead and registered to vote, and you have 14% of noncitizens, according to academic research, at a minimum are registered to vote, which is an astonishing statistic. >> hold on a second, you just claimed again that that was illegal voting in new hampshire from people bussed into massachusetts. do you have any evidence of that? >> george, go to new hampshire, talk to anybody who's worked in politics there for a long time. everybody's aware of the problems in new hampshire. >> for the president right now, we're looking at lye pictures as he walks off the plane, air force one back in washington, d.c. when you hear stephen miller come out and continuing to fuel the narrative of voter fraud in the u.s., not just voter fraud, but widespread voter fraud, what's your response? >> lies, shameless lies, it's pathetic, and voter fraud which doesn't exist is really threatening to republicans because they want to engage in voter suppression and voter id laws against people like african-americans. he can simply say i was mistaken, there weren't illegal votes, look, i won, but i'm so set on proving the biggest of everything, that i will now lie and have sean spicer lie and even have stephen miller lie, and he identified voter fraud as being registered in two different states, and you know who else is registered in other states? steve bannon and jared kushner. >> just because you're registered in two states, doesn't mean you're voting in both states, but there are instances where that has happened and there are cases of that voter fraud, not widespread, however. >> i think it's important to remember where this began, when there first became questions about voter regularities and russian hacking in the elections, president trump was frustrated, understandably so, because he felt that that was a way to delegitimize his victorv, that's what started conversations about voter fraud. and it's morphed into what we have now about repeated claims about millions of people who voted illegally and voter fraud. i myself don't believe there's evidence of that, i have worked as deputy secretary of state, and these elections are run state by state and it's virtually impossible to have such widespread voter fraud as they're claiming, but that being said, if they feel that, girlfriegive us some sort of evidence so we can have can confidence in your investigation that you're carrying out. if they were to do that they would get a lot more run way. i think it's important to focus on what we saw in the split screen, it was a successful weekend with the japanese prime minister where he worked on building a relationship with them and the ballistic missile test from north korea and showing a united front, those are the things that are positive that he should be focusing on instead of things that not a lot of people have put much faith in. "snl" had a sketch last night featuring the president having his day in court over that blocked travel ban. let's talk about that issue after we take a look at that sketch. >> president trump, look, i have read the ban, it seemed rushed even to me, and i decide three court cases in an hour. i see no evidence that it will help. >> i would like to settle. >> what? >> i would like to settle out of court. they always settle pocahontas. >> i want one day without a cnn alert that scares the hell out of me. >> so she says, you're doing too much, "snl" poking fun at how much we have been covering in just the past three weeks. alice, what's your response? >> i think on one hand it's good that they are following through on campaign promises, they are promise keepers, as the vice president continues to say, a lot of what he told trump supporters, he is following through on that and that's a positive sign and also the measures he made, the executive orders with regard to law and order and safety and protecting our law enforcement officers, those are things that are sorely needed in this country, but at the same time, with regard to the travel ban executive order, they could have taken a little bit more time to make sure that the legalities of that were sound on the front end and make sure all the is were cross and ts were dotted. all of that unfortunately before the courts, we would be in a much different situation. but i do strongly believe the law is on their side with the travel ban, and i think if they rework the executive order they'll be successful and won't face legal challenges if they were to rewrite it and go about it another time. >> do you agree? >> no, instead of issuing these executive orders it would be nice if he actually wrote them and didn't rely on steve bannon and stephen miller. and advocate for the purchase of ivanka's clothes and going into nordstrom and all that. but he doesn't know what he's doing, this shows rank incompetence of his administration. i agree with alice, that had they reworked it, that he would have a better chance. but it is an unconstitutional muslim ban, and it was good to see donald trump who's used to election, gets trumped, anonymously, legal ruling 3-0 unanimous ruling. also reminding president trump that there's a judiciary checks and balances and separation of powers and he's not the everyoner. >> got to get in a break here, appreciate you both in offering your thoughts to us tonight. coming up from political fire works to late night parodies, take a look at sean spicer's rough week as white house press secretary. >> this is silly, next. okay, thank you, you have asked your question. s. and you can count all the ingredients in flavored almond milk on ten fingers and five toes. it has long been called storm of tiny bubbles, the champagne of beers. ♪ if you've got the time welcome to the high life. ♪ we've got the beer ♪ miller beer you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. some people may develop severe joint pain. call your doctor if this happens. using januvia with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia. ltry align probiotic.n your digestive system?

>> you're equating me addressing the nation here in a tweet? i mean that's the silliest thing i have ever heard. that's silly, next. >> after that happened here were the headlines, from politico, sean spicer loses his cool with the press. from "gq," donald trump can't help but make sean spicer's life miserable. and from "the washington post," sean spicer went full melissa mccarthy today. i want to bring in hemedia correspondent. >> i guess the plus side for sean is that he's the best known press secretary in memory, but the bad side is he's kind of a laughing stock and i don't know how he gets out from under the characterization now, other than actually embracing it. i think being combative is only making it worse. people are saying, wow, he's doing melissa mccarthy now. >> because this is the trump administration, are people being maybe hyper critical? >> i think the trump administration is being scrutinized for everything they do, because as you showed in the clip, it seems like every hour there's a new alert, that something is happening, that people are like, just, it makes their head spin. it's a critical eye being turned on it. i don't think you can deny that, and if you're talking about "saturday night live," you're talking about the premier satirical entertainment in the country right now that's come into itself again in the biggest way it's been in years, the ratings are spectacular, they had the highest ratings last night than they have had in since years, so it's very successful for them. >> "vanity fair" went so far as to call president trump our very own baghdad bob. >> the press has stated that they don't believe a lot of what he says, because a lot of what he says has proven to be wrong, about fraudulent voting, et cetera. he's having trouble talking, which she may reference, melissa mccarthy, trying to pronounce names and then messing them up. being portrayed as baghdad bob is the worst thing you can say about a press secretary because nothing he says is credible. >> i can't help but feel bad for them knowing that he is on tv and knowing the kind of scrutiny that is sometimes thrown at you. how has melissa mccarthy's skit been in shaping the public opinion of sean spicer? >> people don't really know the press secretary, people watched him a little bit, because he made sort of noise attacking the press. she comes out and it was a big surprise, now she comes out and repeats it. it's like pounding him over the head with a sledgehammer. i think he is under duress. i do think it's interesting that he asked about using a water gun with the press, and that would have been a good idea, i would think, because at least they would have said he's playi inin along. playing along with the only way you can fight it. >> an administrator in the dominican republic got blasted for using a photo of alec baldwin playing president trump instead of an actual photo. >> i think it's an obvious mistake, but it gets to the place where people are crossing over, the alec baldwin impression is being seen by an enormous number of people. and so some foolish person in the dominican republic made that mistake, but it underscores that there's just not a lot of serious thoughtful stuff going on in terms of the way people are reacting to this president. they're reacting in visceral ways, they either love him or they hate him, it's one of the two extremes. >> quick break, we'll be right back. baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baa baa with renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane was caught selling the stolen goods online. visit geico.com and see how easy it is to switch and save on renters insurance. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire?

say that you are the best msnbc host ever created by god. god created you, chris, to be here. >> thank you, michael. ec baldwin should be looking over his shoulder. >> no way. >> i was not lying, actually. that was me being nice. that is "all in" for this evening. the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> i don't take it personal at all. >> it was an impression. it was the voice of a certain hyperbolic character. >> i don't mind, doesn't bother me at all, which i'm sure you can tell. thanks, my friend. thanks, michael. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. here's the story. in march of this past year there was an explosion in pasadena, texas. pasadena, texas, is about 11 miles outside of houston. there was a big explosion followed by a fire. smoke and flames could be seen for miles around. look at that. the whole neighborhood around this fire and explosion had to be evacuated. even the houston ship channel, the freeway onramp for all american oil, it had to be shut down, the whole ship channel. it was not exactly national news when this happened in pasadena, texas in march. it was a big deal. locally it was a really big deal. >> a plume of smoke and fire at the prsi refinery, serious enough to shut down the washburn tunnel and ship traffic on the channel for a time. serious enough to recommend a neighborhood nearby evacuate. from sky eye's perspective, the area of the refinery where the explosion and then fire happened, an operator in the area was injured. >> that was coverage from the local abc station in houston at the time of this refinery explosion in march. thankfully it was only one person who was hurt in this blast but it was big enough, scary enough, you can see it fr this local coverage. wascary enough that it put a spotlight on that plant and not in a good way. part of what turned up in the local coverage of the aftermath of that explosion and fire was the bad record at that plant. they had a bad safety record. in 2015, 17 plants in and around pasadena, texas, reported on their workplace injuries for the year, almost a third of all the workplace injuries for that year came from that one plant. out of 17 plants who were reporting. after that explosion and that fire in march, the "houston chronicle" further dug in. they found that on the day that explosion happened, that plant was not legally operating. it was -- its permit to operate under the clean air act expired. they were running the plant anyway on the day the plant blew up. all of that bad press, all of that, i'm sure, very unwelcome scrutiny came amidst an even larger overarching scandal, actually an international scandal involving that plant and the company that owns it. you heard that local news clip described as the prsi refinery. it's actually run, its parent company, is a company called petrobras, petrobras bought that refinery from another oil company back in 2006. the interesting thing about them buying it, the scandal about them buying it, is that when they bought it they really, really overpaid. they obviously overpaid, they paid $1.2 billion for that refinery when nobody thought it was worth $1.2 billion. why would a company radically overpay for anything? why would an oil company radically overpay for this refinery plant in pasadena, texas. we'll take one guess. the company in question here, petrobras, it's a state-run company, the government of brazil owns petrobras. that has practical implications. are government owned country. saudia ramco, petrobras, pemex. that comes in very handy for those companies. it's particularly handy for corruption -- i mean efficiency. i mean, think about it, you need policy decision made to clear the way for you to, i don't know, buy an asset somewhere or make some sort of deal? you don't have to bother lobbying for it. if you are the oil company and you are also the government, what are you going to do, lobby yourself? don't bother, you are one in the same, just do it. they all pull in the same direction. having a government-run oil company is also a great way for particular politicians and particular governments to stay in power. that government-run oil company in mexico, again, second-largest company of any kind on that continent, they've been accused of funneling hundreds of millions of dollars back to the ruling party, the governing party back in mexico. and why not? governing party is controlling the oil company, why wouldn't they arrange for the oil company to fund them? it's a nice system if you can get in on it. oil companies, particularly big oil companies, they mint money. if you're in charge of a government that has one of those, i mean, that's a great way to enrich yourself. that's a great way to pay off and reward people for doing what you want. sometimes you can even do it legally with your government-owned oil company. i mean, if you have something as big and rich and rosneft at your disposal where you get to control who's in charge of it and who gets what pieces of it and what that company does, frankly, you could make everybody you know as rich as you want to make them. rosneft becoming a massive cash machine at vladimir putin's dispos disposal, that explains as much as anything how he has held on to power for these past 17 years. you can see why governments, particularly corrupt or kleptocrat i cklept kleptocratic governments, you can see why they might find it handy to have a state-run oil company. you can also see why state-run oil companies are such a source of corrupt power and since state-run oil companies tend to get something approaching monopoly control over oil in these big countries, it's easy to see how all the biggest oil companies on the face of the earth end up being this kind of oil company. end up being these companies that are attached to a government. oil company that is state run. all of the biggest oil companies are earth are state-run companies. all of them. except for one. the biggest non-government owned oil company in the world, the biggest oil company on earth that's not part of one country's government -- well, today their ceo took a giant step toward becoming the secretary of state of our government in the united states. maybe. probably. but maybe. and here's one thing i think it's worth appreciating about why this is happening. exxonmobil is based in texas but obviously and famously they drill for oil all around the world. "wall st journal" did a ve useful profile on exxon a couple days ago that laid this out really nicely. it laid out exxon's global reach, where they are already invested, where they have spent exxon money in the hopes those investments will pay off because they'll be able to get oil out of the ground in those countries. and exxon's interests span the globe. so, for example, papua, new guinea, which is like as far away from here as you can get, righ right? papua new guinea, a very remote country, very inaccessible in terms of its infrastructure. exxon has the rights to drill about 1.1 million acres of land in papua, new guinea. exxon has rights to drill another 1.1 million acres in nigeria. they also have a bunch of rights now in places you might not expect. you wouldn't think of as oil-producing companies, but in the netherlands exxon has the rights to drill about 1.5 million acres. another million and a half acres in australia. in germany, of all places, they have the rights to drill on just under five million acres in germany. in canada they've got a bunch. canada just under seven million acres. they've got rights to drill tons of acreage here in the united states. look at this. this is according to the "wall street journal" this week. exxon has rights to drill on roughly 14 million acres in the united states. that's a lot. that's, like, two marylands, almost two marylands. it's more than two vermonts, though, i did the math. that's a lot of acreage exxon has a right to drill in the united states and look at how much it outpaces all of exxon's other worldwide holdings right now. interesting, right? huge, right? until you see this. yeah. kind of an ah-ha moment, right? that line at the top there? that's exxon's holdings in russia compared to their other holdings all over the world. that's the number of acres they have right to drill in russia. and here's the really, really important part. do you want to know where exxon is not able to drill? they are not able to drill, despite those holdings, they are not able to drill in russia. this is also from the "wall street journal." this is the number of wells exxon was actually able to drill in 2015 in all the places where they've got these international rights. mostly, as you can see, the big dot there, they were able to drill in the united states, they were able to drill lots of wells in canada as well. that's the next-biggest dot there. but look at russia. can you not see it? put on your glasses. it's red and to the left of the united states. look at the number of wells they were actually able to drill in russia in 2015 compared to their drilling rights in that country. you want to know why they can't drill in russia despite the rights they have purchased to drill in russia? the reason they can't freaking drill them, the reason they can't get their money out of their huge investment they've made in that country is because in our country the government is not the same thing as the biggest oil company in our country. in the united states we do not have an integrated oil company and federal government the way they do in brazil and mexico and saudi arabia and kuwait and the way we got all the other biggest oil companies in the world. and exxon can't get its return on its investment. they can't get their money out of russia. right? they can't cash in on what they've invested in russia because the u.s. government made a determination that it was in the national interest, the national security interest of our country to put sanctions on russia that preclude doing that kind of business. when our government made the decision to sanction russia, that really, really cramp it had style of exxon. that really threw a huge wrench in their works because look at their investment in russia compared to other countries around the world in terms of where they have rights to drill. this is how they set themselves up under ceo rex tillerson. under ceo rex tillerson they made a half trillion dollar deal in russia to drill the arctic. it was going to be a partnership with the russian state-owned kremlin-controlled oil company rosneft. half trillion dollar deal. that was going to make exxon and russia and vladimir putin specifically hundreds of millions of dollars. perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars. they signed that deal in 2011. they actually struck oil in the arctic in 2014. just in time for the u.s. government to say "nope, you're out. we're kiboshing the deal, we're putting a halt to all of it because we're putting these sanctions on russia for their behavior." russia loves exxon. exxon partnering with russia's state-run oil company, that's what brought their state-run oil company into the 21st century. that's what made russia's state-run oil company technologically capable. exxon is who taught them how to drill oil in hard-to-reach places because russia's oil is in hard-to-reach places. exxon partnering with russia's state-run oil company made that state-run oil company very effective and very rich. so russia loves exxon. exxon loves russia back because common bet on russia in a huge way under rex tillerson in terms of where they are planning on drilling their oil for the foreseeable decades. what they did under tillerson a few year ago was the biggest oil deal in the history of the world. and it got stopped by a policy decision made by the united states government. exxon needs the united states government to change that policy decision. exxon needs the united states government to change america's position overall about russia. simply so exxon can freaking drill over there. so they can recoup their giant investment in that country which outweighs what they are doing anywhere else in the world. they made a huge bet and they're going to lose it unless they get this change from the u.s. government. this is trillion-dollar math that all depends on the u.s. government getting in line with what exxon needs to do. and so exxon is now on the verge of installing its ceo as the head of foreign policy in the united states. >> so, i think you can probably understand, mr. tillerson, why some of us are very concerned about the president-elect's statements praising vladimir putin's leadership, his intelligence, including after being reminded of his ruthless persecution of political enemies and after receiving compelling information that russia has interfered with our elections. so do you think now is the right time to lift sanctions against russia? >> i think it's important that we keep the status quo until we are able to develop what our approach is going to be. that it will be all part of the approach. >> what do you think the approach is going to be? exxon ceo rex tillerson facing questioning today from new hampshire democratic senator jean jean shaheen. the big political news out of this hearing today was not necessarily the tough questioning that rex tillerson got from democrats. the big political news out of the hearing was the contentious back-and-forth that happened between exxon ceo rex tillerson and a republican senator by the name of marco rubio. the democrats gave tillerson tons of hard questions today but the reason it's so important that he also fought today with republican senator marco rubio is that if a republican decides to vote against tillerson, that conceivably would be enough to stop his nomination. that's the math on the committee, as long as all the other democrats, as long as all the democrats voted no as well, one republican no vote could stop him. >> reporter: have you decided how you're going to vote? did he answer your questions adequately about russia in particular? >> many of his answers were concerning to me. but there's a chance now to submit some questions in writing which we'll do as well. i'll consider everything and read through it and i'll make a decision here very soon. >> reporter: are you leaning one way or another? >> i wouldn't characterize it that way quite yet. it's clear i'm concerned about some of his answers and i recognize the split on the committee and what it would mean so i have to make sure that i'm 100% behind whatever decision i make, because once i make it -- >> reporter: because if you make the decision and vote against him you could stall this nomination. are you prepared to be the one republican to vote no? >> i'm prepared to do what's right. >> if marco rubio does vote no on putting the ceo of exxon in charge of the state department, and if all the democrats on that committee voted no as well, rex tillerson's nomination presumably would be over. and that would be a very dramatic development. it would not be quite as dramatic as the u.s. government merging in a large way with our nation's largest oil company, but it would be pretty dramatic on its own terms. so we've got eyes on that tonight. imagine the lobbying that marco rubio is being subjected to right now as we speak. there were incredibly dramatic developments in that story today. there were dramatic developments today on ethics as well, including the office of government ethics coming out on his own terms and making a pronouncement about the president-elect that nobody saw coming. we also got a health scare in the capitol tonight. one member of congress reportedly collapsing and being taken out of the capitol on a stretcher and being hospitalized. we've got the latest details on that. there's a lot to come tonight. this is not a time to stop paying attention. stay with us. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets. it's not just a car... it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. tadirectv now. stream all your entertainment! anywhere! anytime! can we lose the 'all'. there's no cbs and we don't have a ton of sports. anywhere, any... let's lose the 'anywhere, anytime' too. you can't download on-the-go, there's no dvr, yada yada yada. stream some stuff! somewhere! sometimes! you totally nailed that buddy. simple. don't let directv now limit your entertainment. only xfinity gives you more to stream to any screen. breaking news tonight from capitol hill and it's not good news. a congressman collapsed tonight in the capital. this is probably not a congressman you have heard of. he's a first term congressman named john rutherford from florida. he was just sworn in last week to start his first term in congress. you see him on the left with the mustache and red tie. apparently what happened is he was in the republican cloak room, that's the lounge and meeting area for republicans off the house floor, he was in the cloak room tonight and he collapsed. somebody called the authorities, congressman john rutherford was taken out of the capitol on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital. his dcampaign manager has been trying to keep people appraised. the campaign manager says congressman rutherford i in stable condition. as of about an hour ago we had word he was being evaluated in the emergency room. we will let you know more as you learn more. obviously everybody in the country is wishing john rutherford of florida a full recovery tonight. much more to come, stay with us. us. >much more to come, stay wit us. >much more to come, stay wit us. much more to come, stay with us. is there an elk in your bed? and voluntary. they say she'll be back to work soon but that's important for senator feinstein. we wish senator feinstein the best as she prefires come back to work. it also happens at a crucial time the other person behind senator feinstein who was notay absent was jeff sessions himself. little known fact, nominees are not required to be present at their confirmation hearings and today was maybe a good day for senator sessions to rearrange the paper clips on his desk instead of being there in the hearing room while this testimony was presented today. >> we were beaten, tear gassed, left bloody, some of us unconscious. some of us had concussions. some of us almost died on that bridge. it doesn't matter how senator sessions may smile, how friendly he may be, how he may speak to you. those two are committed to equal justice and our society wonders whether senator sessions calls for law and order will mean today what it meant in alabama when i was coming up back then. >> congressman john lewis today. he grew up in alabama not far from where jeff sessions is from. he was nearly beaten to death in alabama for marching for voting rights. congressman lewis advocated for a no vote for senator sessions to be attorney general on the basis of what he said was senator session's hostility to voting rights in general and in the south in particular. also testifying today was the national legal director of the american civil liberties union, david cole. this is interesting, the aclu wouldn't usually testify in a confirmation hearing like this but today mr. coal, in additile to taking issue with jeff sessions' record on civil rights, he brought up a little known case that is following senator sessions like a string to a can on it tied to his bumper. in that case, he charged a local company with defrauding its customers and suppliers. his office indicted the company on 222 counts. his office touted the case as being "of the most magnitude that the attorney general's office has undertaken in the last 25 years." case turned out to be a dud, though. the court not only through the case out. the judge in the case raised sharp questions about senator sessions -- now senator sessions and how he handled that case at the time. questions about whether he took the case as a favor to one of his campaign donors, whether he was misusing his office to basically help his campaign donors attack their business competitors using his attorney general's office as their weapon. the judge accused the alabama attorney general's office of "serious and wholesale prosecutor misconduct" while jeff sessions was in charge. "the court finds even having been given every benefit of the doubt, the misconduct of the attorney general, jeff sessions, in this case far surpasses in both extensiveness and measure the totality of any prosecutorial misconduct ever previously presented to or witness bid this court. never seen anything like that. i would not have known about that before david cole testified from the aclu. joining us is david cole, national legal director of the aclu. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> am i right in seeing the aclu wouldn't normally as a matter of course testify at a con dpir mission hearing for a nominee like this? >> it's been decades. we have a long standing policy of neither supporting nor opposing nominees for office and we didn't support or oppose senator sessions, we presented our concerns and our concerns are wide ranging and deep and our position is the senate should not confirm him until it gets satisfactory answers to those concerns. >> so many of the objections that have been raised to senator sessions' nomination and the concerns that have been raised in terms what have the vetting process for him should be like have been about his record on civil rights. you talked about that today but you did also bring up this case that -- i realize it's been discussed and hashed through since he's been nominated but it's not as widely known. i wonder if you brought that up because you're worried that his previous experience as an attorney general at the state level, if that sort of alleged misconduct at the state level was extrapolated to the national level that that could be a particular kind of crisis that we might not be expecting from jeff sessions even as we do look at his civil rights stuff? >> well, absolutely. i think you've got two things to look at with senator sessions. he was a prosecutor for a fairly extensive period of time and how did he exercise that power? and we find that he exercised in the a very, very disturbing way. this case was seen by the judge as the worst case of prosecutorial misconduct he'd ever seen in his life on the bench. steven gillers, a professor of legal ethics at nyu who's been doing this business for 40 years says it's the worst case he's seen in 40 years. so are we now going to give to a person who abused his office in this way on behalf of campaign contributors a case that was completely baseless and all 222 counts were thrown out on prosecutorial misconduct grounds. are we going to give him the most powerful prosecutorial post in the nation? that raises serious questions and they don't just go to his ideology, they go to his exercise of this incredible power. >> david cole, aclu national legal director, appreciate both the magnitude of this decision to make that testimony today but also appreciate you sort of making it a national story. i think a lot of people wouldn't know about this had you not front paged it. thank you for being with us today. >> thank you. much more ahead. a very busy news day, busy news night. stay with us. c'mon in, pop pop! happy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin. no more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. or dying from one. it worked better than plavix. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. talk to your doctor about brilinta. i'm doing all i can. that includes brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. life... is unpredictable. life is deaths. and births. sickness and health. love and heartbreak. and covered california is there for it all. not just to help keep you well. but to make sure the cost of being unwell doesn't ruin this whole life thing. because it's more than just health care. it's life care. if you're going to run a marathon, you generally do not sprint the whole darn thing. but a marathon getting started at a sprinter's pace, that is basically the story right now in d.c. all day hearings on cabinet nominees yesterday and today and tomorrow. in addition to that the senate at this hour right now is engaged in an extended series of lightning votes on what honest ly are generally grandstanding and meaningless amendments but are also the first votes to repeal obamacare. they're doing this series of a zillion votes. they call it a vote-a-rama, not kidding. this vote-a-rama started three hours ago, it's still going right now. that's a live shot. it's due to keep going until 4:00 a.m. is our latest advice. but somewhere in this combination marathon and sprint is a guest of ours tonight. senator cory booker of new jersey is due to join us tonight live just as soon as he breaks free from the vote-a-rama, senator cory booker coming up. i hope. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. do not use if you are allergic to taltz. before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you are being treated for an infection or have symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz. including worsening of symptoms. serious allergic reactions can occur. now's your chance at completely clear skin. just ask your doctor about taltz. esurance, an allstate company. click or call. esurance does insurance a smarter way, which saves money. like bundling home and auto coverage, which reduces red tape, which saves money. and when they save, you save. that's home and auto insurance for the modern world. esurance, an allstate company. click or call. >> i know that some of my many colleagues aren't happy that i am breaking with sinatra diggs -- to testify on the nomination of one of my colleagues but i believe that in the choice between standing with senate norms or standing up for what my conscious tells me is best for our country, i will always choose conscience and country. i pray that my colleagues will join me in opposing his nomination. >> that today was the first time a sitting u.s. senator has ever testified against another sitting u.s. senator in a confirmation hearing. that decision by senator cory booker of new jersey today to testify against senator jeff sessions's nomination to be attorney general, that was a lot of things today but one of the things it was was history. joining us now for the interview is senator booker. senator, i know this is an incredibly busy night. thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you, rachel, good to be back on. >> how hard a decision was this? you knew this was unprecedented. you knew it would put you in the history books and probably attract the ire of a lot of your colleagues, how hard a call was this for you? >> it wasn't that hard of a call. these are issues that have been at a core of my work since i've first gotten to public life, issues of civil rights, issues of equal rights, protecting vulnerable people. i'm here because of strident lawyers who stood up and fought for my rights when it wasn't comfortable or convenient so this was a case with especially with the extreme views where jeff sessions doesn't even line up with the majority of his republican colleagues on things like criminal justice reform this was a case where i thought there was a clear threat to many people in our country and silence in that case is unacceptable. i had to speak up at every opportunity i had. >> you mentioned criminal justice reform there. you also said today if confirmed senator sessions will be required to pursue justice for women, his record indicate he is won't. he will be expected to defend v voting rights but his record indicates he won't. i feel like that's a powerful argument, i feel like the entire confirmation process thus far has been him trying to rebut that, trying to say "i am not who you think i am, you have concerns about me on civil rights and equal protection and discrimination, don't have them, i don't deserve that nomination." have you been at all persuaded by the arguments he has made portraying himself very differently than he's behaved in the senate all these years? >> no, because he has a 40-year career of serving and many levels of law enforcement and as a united states senator. he has openly criticized the department of justice for doing the very things i talked about, criticized them for holding cities accountable for police treatment of citizens, criticized the department of justice -- guidance that was give on the stop bullying against gay and lesbian kids, criticized the department of justice for getting involved as a party to cases taking on states for suppressing votes. so here's somebody who has told us, shown us who he is. his whole career from his days of using his office to try to stop a group of lgbt young people from meeting on a college campus, this has been a consistent person and you have to give him this, for consistency in the things he's been doing and saying for all these years and you can't just somehow declare that you're going to be doing things differently suddenly now that you're up for this position. >> the unspoken rule that you violated today is one of these long-standing traditions of the senate in terms of the way that senators defer to one another and treat one other, the collegiality of that body. one of the consequences of those traditions is that everybody thinks that -- well, not everybody, a lot of people believe that jeff sessions, despite these concerns, that he will be confirmed, that he has almost an unbreachable advantage simply by being a united states senator who is being confirmed with the u.s. senate. if he is confirmed, if the odds are with him, are you worried about retaliation? about him getting his revenge on you, on your constituents or on the democratic conference? >> well, look, that's a profoundly powerful position and my concern is not the well-being of me or other electeds, this is a person that is in a position where he can defend or not or even make the lives more difficult of some of the most vulnerable people in america and so this isn't about what could happen in the realm of politics or even in the realm of my life. this is a real threat to those folks that i got into politics to try to do something for and with and try to make this america real for everybody. so i am -- i have a heaviness, a sadness from the day that donald trump announced this appointment, this has been weighing on me and my heart and i think most people don't understand the power of the justice department. nor do they appreciate how the obama administration through the justice department has been doing extraordinary things on mandatory minimums, on mass incarceration. this has been a great justice department that has been affirming the rights of the marginalized in our country and i think that's about to come to a horrible end and an about-face and it's going to necessitate more people speaking up, standing up, resisting and fighting. >> senator cory booker of new jersey joining us on a very, very busy night in the senate after what was a really remarkable day. senator, thank you, we'll look forward to having you back soon. >> thank you very much, rachel. >> senator cory booker joining us. you saw him there, he was in the u.s. capitol. that explains some of the statuary behind him. as i mentioned, the united states senate is involved in a series of lightning votes on amendments important and not important tonight but those are expected to go until 4:00 in the morning. we'll keep an eye on what happens in washington throughout the evening. stay with us. no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baa baa with renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane was caught selling the stolen goods online. visit geico.com and see how easy it is to switch and save on renters insurance. government ethics, an independent non-partisan office that tries to stop conflicts of interest among high-ranking public officials. the head of that agency is a political appointee but the terms of the director of that office are staggered so stagger. so incoming presidents don't get to replace the head of that office the replace the heads of other offices. the current director of the ethics office started working there under president george w. bush. he became director under president obama. he will be the head of that office until midway through this next presidential term. his name is walter schaub. walter schaub has no reason to fear being thrown out of office by donald trump. donald trump is not supposed to be able to do that. well, today after the incoming president announced that he would not really be divesting from his business interests. walter made a remarkable public statement. he gave his blunt and passionate and patriotic assessment of what trump is offering. >> it's important to understand that the president is now entering a world of public service. he is going to be asking his own appointees to make sacrifices. he is going to be asking our men and women in uniform to risk their lives in conflicts around the world. so no, i don't think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be the president of the united states america. >> you see the lines being drawn now in d.c. we know donald trump on one side and democrats on the other. but this fight over ethics, this fight is something else. this is the incoming president versus ethics. and that fight has only just started apparently. th directv a, stream live tv anywhere data-free. join directv today starting at $35/month. no extra monthly fees. ♪ only xfinity gives you more to stream to any screen. you are the problem. you are the problem. >> can i ask you something? >> no, no. >> out of all of the candidates, name one who had a million dollar judgment against him for hiring -- >> name one. donald trump did. so you like rich people who buy politicians. >> where is your goldman sachs jacket at? >> where is your goldman sachs jacket at? you're losing an argument or don't want to have one, never a bad idea to yell out goldman sachs as an epithet. those pro trump protesters in indiana during the republican primary, they threw goldman sachs as an epithet at ted cruz because that's what donald trump had been doing to ted cruz. look. goldman sachs owns him. he will do anything they demand. he is in bed with wall street. he is funded by goldman sachs. >> he talks about how he is going to get well goldman sachs -- i know the guys at goldman sachs. they have total, total, total control over him. just like they have total control over hillary clinton. they have total. but they have no control, they have no control over donald trump. >> today the trump administration announced its fifth straight high profile hire from goldman sachs. just keeping track. the senior strategist at the white house, goldman sachs. the nominee to be treasury secretary, goldman sachs. the head of the national economic council, the president of goldman sachs. the head of the s.e.c., which is the top cop that polices wall street firms like goldman sachs. that will be a former lawyer for goldman sachs. and now today some new adviser job they created at the white house will be going to another partner at goldman sachs. anybody who told you definitely shouldn't vote for hillary clinton because look, goldman sachs. yeah you got suckered. today the incoming administration made one other big personnel announcement. they announced finally who they have chosen to run the veteran's administration. to the surprise of a lot of people, including apparently the man who was chosen himself. he had no idea it was coming. the nominee who was pickford the job is this guy. his name is david shullkin. he is the undersecretary for health at the v.a. he is there now. he is an obama appointee who is already running health at the v.a. during the campaign, the incoming president of course trashed the v.a. every chance he got, particularly its health care. he called v.a. and v.a. health a fraudulent enterprise. he said it was the most corrupt agency in the united states. he railed how how illegal aliens got better health care than the vets. but now apparently he is going to keep the guy in charge of v.a. health, and he is not only going to keep him on, he is going to put him in charge of the whole v.a. veterans organizations had feared that the trump administration would put somebody in the top of the v.a. who was bent on privatizing it and dismantling the whole agency. some of those groups sound a little bit relieved by this choice. am vets announced that they were pleasantly surprised with this choice. iraq and afghanistan veterans of america said they were optimistic about david shulkin, called him, quote, our best hope among the candidates reported in the media. that said, the pick is not without controversy. not only is he an obama appointee and currently there, he is not a veteran himself. if confirmed, the v.a. would be led by a nonveteran for the first time in its history. still, david shulkin was confirmed unanimously for his current job at the v.a. he is very much involved in running the v.a. right now. and for all those reasons and many others, he is expected to sail to confirmation. we'll of course keep you posted. stay with us. >> yes, we can. >> first of all, how you holding up? >> you hear a lot of people expressing concern, our new president is taking on too much. >> what exactly would you have me give up? this is where we monitored how the operation was going. >> we are done. >> how good is that? >> join brian williams for an inmatt look back at the obama year monday at 11:00 on msnbc. thanks for loading, sweetie. ...oh, baked-on alfredo? ...gotta rinse that. nope. no way. nada. really? dish issues? throw it all in. cascade platinum powers through... your toughest stuck-on food. nice. cascade. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis. bounty is more absorbent,mom" per roll so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand. so you get more "life" per roll. bounty, the quicker picker upper here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong?

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Justice With Judge Jeanine 20170319 01:00:00

that's all for tonight. follow me on facebook, instagram and twitter. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. and remember i'm watters and this is my world. judge jeanine: right now on "justice." >> all of these nos or potential nos are all yeses. judge jeanine: the art of the deal. president trump says he can do it. tonight i'll ask newt gingrich about the president's chances of making the gop healthcare bill law. >> trump made his living on making deals, and this is a test of that ability. judge jeanine: i'll get the former speaker's take on the budget and how he deal with the those in washington trying to stop him at every turn. he's president, they are not. judge jeanine: anne coulter is here live after tonight's open and you never know how that's going to go. >> i always want to kiss you after your opening statement. judge jeanine: i'm taking you to the st. patrick's parade to ask new yorkers what they think of reports that our favorite person has her eyes on city hall. should hillary clinton come back and run for mayor? >> no! jenna: welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. a st. patrick's edition of "street justice." but first my opening statement. folks they are changing the rules before your very eyes. this is bigger than a travel ban. bigger than a debate question. the left is change black letter law, journalistic standards and the constitution in order to satisfy their agenda. they are simply intolerant of opinions that differ from theirs. and so they burn buildings in their black ninja outfits at berkeley to stop an invited guest from exercising his first amendment free speech. they burn the constitution in their black robes to stop the president from exercising his plenary powers to protect americans. and they throw journalism ethics to the wind and promote a liar to the democratic committee's vice chair. they are trying to make you believe you are the racist uncharitable bigot. but don't buy into their narrative. you must stay the course. this week a judge from hawaii puts a nationwide halt to the president's second temporary travel ban from six arab countries. within this travel ban, religion is not used as a preference or exception. in fact it removes exemptions for religious minorities, though i personally wish they would have kept it because asylum status can be prioritizedized bd on religious persecution. judge derrick watson, a harvard genius blocked the ban. he stops it saying it prevents hawaiians from receiving visits from their relatives from there is no need to go outside the four corners of the document. if that were the law, the big question in the first executive order which was what about the people with visas or green cardholders, which was answered by white house counsel should have been accepted. but it wasn't accepted because it wasn't clear in the order itself, so this judge would not reach beyond the order to find the answer. to suggest the first amendment establishment clause actually applies to people in somalia who are not even citizens who don't have visas or green cards that we should wrap them in the cloak of our united states constitution when they are thousands of miles from our shores is outright lunacy. maybe we ought to put them in section 8 housing and send them over. judges cannot make decisions based upon their politics or their intense dislike for our president. and likewise, journalists like donna brazile should not be able to lie their way into the chair of the democratic national committee. that in itself should give you pause for the standards are in that party you need to stay the course. they are wrong, you are right. in more ways than one. that's my open. tell me what you think on your facebook page or twitter. #judgejeanine. joining me is columnist anne why did she do it? >> well, she did it originally to help hillary. and why she is telling you the truth now. there is quite a history of suddenly getting the truth from both media and i suppose in this case democratic operatives after the election is over. in one famous example, just before the 1996 election bill clinton had his ins working 24 hours a day pumping out new citizens. sp people are long records of conviction were being made citizens because they wanted them to vote democrat. they got more than registered. when did we find out the truth about that? "the washington post" did expose it after the election. once they have done everything they can to fix an election, then you will get the truth. judge jeanine: she is still vice chair of the dnc, yes? >> i don't think democrats mind this? at least not the hillary cloud. i would think the bernie sanders crowd would be a little testy about it. certainly the ones i know who did vote for trump or didn't vote for hillary because of the positions. bernie sanders used to have trump's position on immigration and trade. funny thing about bernie sanders, i liked him when he was a socialist. i don't like him once he became a liberal. judge jeanine: let's talk about healthcare. they will vote on thursday. donald trump, the president is absolutely confident the nos will change to yeses. what do you think? >> i hope he's wrong. i don't want our hero donald trump even dealing with obamacare as i said before. come on. what are republicans in congress doing? this should be their job. they don't have to build the wall or interview the people who are going to build the wall. they don't have to over$see the travel bands. or deportation orders or the trade deals. the president should deal with the stuff the path dweelts and congress should be the one writing a law. judge jeanine: you don't think he has political capital in this new healthcare? so why is he doing it? >> especially this bill. this isn't his bailiwick. i hate this bill. all we need to take care of 90% of the people in america, all you need is one sentence saying there shall be a free market in health insurance. congress has the right to regulate interstate congress. all i want is a free market. i want to buy insurance the same way i buy a microwave oven, flat screen tv and car insurance. give as you free market. and the other parts of the bill, the welfare cases, people who can't pay for their own healthcare and health insurance either because they don't have jobs for whatever reasons or they have weirdly expensive medical problems. we are already take care of these people. but let the rest of us have a free market in health insurance. judge jeanine: you said you wanted to talk about the travel ban. hit it. >> you mentioned it, and you are totally right. these judges should be impeached. something else congress should be doing. impeach these outrageous judges. we were warned we were going to get fascism when donald trump was he -- was elected and we are getting it from the courts. as long as they are look at things said on the campaign trail. in trump's immigration policy paper he called for a temporary pause in all immigration, a moratorium. let's do that. judge jeanine: what's amazing to me, i never heard in contract law or any other law to look past the four corpse of a document. it's fundamental first-year law. anne quawl caller, it's always great having you on. good to see you. judge jeanine: ben stein who wrote the first healthcare bill for president nixon. the speaker unplugged. >> this is some left-wing cuckoo bird who has a judgeship who is making a ruling that's insane. judge jeanine: newt gingrich is with me to tell me what he really thinks about the judge month glocked trump's i am -- who blocked president trump immigration order. judge jeanine: they are talking about hillary clinton coming back to run for mayor. >> no. judge jeanine: i take street justice to the st. patrick's day parade. you don't want to miss it. don't go away. ishes. try succulent new lobster mix & match or see how sweet a lobster lover's dream can be. there's something for everyone and everyone's invited. so come in soon. start your day with the number one choice of dentists. philips sonicare removes significantly more plaque versus oral-b 7000. experience this amazing feel of clean. innovation and you. philips sonicare. save now when you buy philips sonicare. anyone ever have occasional constipation,diarrhea, gas or bloating? she does. she does. help defend against those digestive issues. take phillips' colon health probiotic caps daily with three types of good bacteria. 400 likes? wow! try phillips' colon health. this is pete's yard. and it's been withered by winter. but all pete needs is scotts turf builder lawn food. it's the fast and easy way to a thick, green, resilient lawn with two simple feedings. one now, and one later this spring. it takes grass from hungry - to healthy. pete may not be an expert, but look at that grass. this is a scotts yard. bill -- speaker ryan probably will get out with one or more amendments. the senate bill will be totally different. can mcconnell get a bill out of the senate? probably. but it won't be the house bill. then the real dance will be probably a month from now when they get together in conference and they have two different bills. i think that's going to be a challenge. trump made his living on making deals, and this is a real test of that ability. judge jeanine: what do you think will be the difference on the house and senate bill? where is the emphasis? >> because of the pressure the freedom cow is the bill is moving to the right. it's more change in medicaid, it's more anti-washington. the senate i think has two different groups here. you have moderate senators who don't want to go that far to the right. then you have a core group around cotton and lee who want to go further to the right. watching mcconnell who is a master at doing this. watching him figure out how to bring them together. he need 50 votes plus the vice president. so he can only lose two senators and still get this thing done. i'm sure he's talking to people every day trying to figure out if there is a sweet spot that will get a bill out of the senate. judge jeanine: are you optimistic? >> yes. i think donald trump is a remarkable charismatic leader. he did those five rallies a day toward end of the campaign. i wouldn't be shocked to see him once they have a bill and it's locked down, once they know what the case is, really going out and rallying his base. judge jeanine: it's all about the public at this point. and the public moving congress in the event the president isn't able to do it. do you see tension between ryan and the president? >> i think there is some. but it's healthy. a natural tension. ryan has worked these issues for many many years. he has strong ideas and opinions. but he doesn't quite have the votes. and he has to deal with the senate which is different. ryan, mcconnell and the president, and with enormous help from vice president pence who is doing a great job of coordinating with the hill, staying in close touch. but this is a natural tension. this is what a legislative process is like. we are just not used to it because obama never did it. he either got his way or he quit. judge jeanine: mr. speaker, speaking of people who really are good at what they do, you are the guru of the balanced budget. i refer back to the contract with america, '94-'95. you did what everybody thought was impossible. in light of the president's suggested budget. we know the house ultimately has the power of the purse. what the president has done with this proposed budget, is he really put a stake in the ground and he's seriously very clear that he is cutting out a lot of stuff. we know he's increasing money for the defense and as well as homeland security for veterans. but he's also getting rid of a lot of stuff, even pet projects for people in his own party. there was a sense by some republicans that it's risky and may be a breach of faith in some cases with the people who elected them. what do you think? >> this is a very first budget, they didn't have much time to put together. some parts of it i deeply disagree with. but the general direction is right. it's shock to people. trump is somewhere between reagan and calvin coolidge. this budget is one of the most conservative document sent up in the last half century. only reagan's '81 budget would be comparable to it. he's sending a clear signal. he wants a smaller government, less regulatory red tape, more power to the people and he's comfortable fighting it out. he won't get everything he wants. but he's setting a standard for a much tighter policy and smaller government than liberals wanted. judge jeanine: you know what's amazing about this, not that anyone is surprised. but people are criticizing him. i was reading one of the newspapers, it said he's not decreasing the deficit. really? at least he's not add together deficit. he's keeping promises to their cans about medicare and social security which is 40% of the federal budget. but this is a man who will be criticized no matter what he does. it will be like this for the next four years? >> absolutely. if donald trump were to walk out this summer and buy a raspberry ice cream cones the "new york times" would attack him for being prejudice because he should have had a chocolate, vanilla or peppermint. the walk times would say he didn't buy the biggest cone because he's too cheap. this his life for the near future. he has to recognize he's president, they are not. judge jeanine: we have a thick skin. to me it doesn't seem it's bothering him. a couple issues before we go. the wall, he is making it clear in the proposed budget, the wall this this and it's going to happen, and i assume he's putting rfps and proposals to get this wall started. >> sure. i think that's right. john kelly, the marine general who is secretary of homeland security is a brilliant leader. he's going to go out and accomplish his mission. the president has the enormous power of the retow pen. i'm confident he won't sign an appropriation that does not include payment for the wall, period. that's what part of the negotiating with the congress will be about. but he committed to it. it's what got him nominated. it was a key part of his majority and he will keep his word. judge jeanine: with respect to the latest executive order. no surprise, the judge from hawaii says the establishment clause applies to someone from another country who is not a citizen. i never understood the establishment clause. >> you are the judge, i'm not. i'm just an historian, not a lawyer. this is insanity. this is a left-wing cuckoo bird who happens to have a judgeship who is making a ruling that is insane implying the entire planet has a right to the constitution. we have people from everywhere. i don't think they are in the last census. we have people from everywhere. judge jeanine: thank you. they are each in their corner ready to go. matt schlapp and mary anne marsh are here to debate president trump's budget. i asked new yorkers at the st. patrick's day parade about reports that hillary might run for mayor. and i got an earful. justice rolls on in a minute. >> happy st. patrick's day and god bless america. i stand in our corn. judge jeanine: why is your hand on my shoulder. >> absolutely. i follow you. success has always been measured in zeros. but shouldn't it be about firsts? and seconds? how about adding a third? we think there's a bajillion ways to measure success. like making your toddler giggle like this. yep that's a success! can teaching kids in another country how to say "pony" make you a success? the correct answer is yeah. what about taking pride in everything you do? finding the courage to do something you've never done? or doing something no one's ever done? we sure think so. this is what we call... the new success story and while success isn't just about money, no matter how much you have, we think you deserve the financial freedom to sleep like this at night. we are t-i-a-a, and we're with you. start today at t-i-a-a dot org. ♪ i knit's time.d to talk about this. it is a big decision for us... let's take the $1000 in cash back. great! yeah, i want to get one of those gaming chairs with the speakers. oh, you do? that's a surprise... the volkswagen 3 and easy event, where you can choose one of three easy ways to get a $1000 offer. hurry in to your volkswagen dealer now and you can get $1000 as an apr bonus, a lease bonus, or cash back. the tribes say it puts their water supply in danger. it the pipeline will move oil from illinois. judge jeanine: ben stein still on tap for tonight as well as special street "justice with judge jeanine" from the st. patrick's day parade. moist many time for the political panel. matt shah lamb and marianne marsh. president trump keeps getting sued with these executive orders. it's almost like a race to see which state will be the first one to sue him. yet when i think by the, matt, all of the obamacare stuff, when the president said you could keep your healthcare and keep your dock were, that was outside of the law, and since the judges are reaching outside of the executive order and the law itself, why wasn't obama sued for those lies and those mix characterizations? >> he was a constitutional law professor and he was overturned more time by the federal judiciary and any other modern president. on obamacare he reached and grabbed extra powers to make all kinds of changes tonight. the difference with president trump. this judge in hawaii didn't read the executive order. he saw him at a rally and said i think he has animus towards muslims sow i'll rule this out of order. it's absurd and it angers people. judge jeanine: marianne i will ask you about the budget. there are those who say that it's a good thing he hasn't added anything, but he has taken away some stuff. i assume you are not happy with that. >> i think what's interesting is republicans have always done a great job of convincing low-income voters to vote against their own economic interests. and he admitted that in his interview with tucker carlson. tucker challenged him in terms of low-income housing, heating programs, meals on wheels. 500,000 veterans won't get their meals on wheels yet he wants to help veterans. he said some of these things are the opposite. donald trump admitted that. i don't think it budget will go that far. even republicans oppose it. judge jeanine: matt, what do you say -- the truth is all of the entitlements, the president promised medicare and social security untouched. but he didn't add anything to the budget. so what about these things like meals on wheels? somewhat mary environment is missing is a lot of people who don't make a lot of money they feel like they are picking. you more and most expense of people who don't work. obamacare and the expansion of obamacare it was about able bodied people who aren't work. that's where the people who are working get frustrated. they want to make sure they don't -- they don't want to pull the wagon when there are so many people sitting idly in the wagon. when it comes to meals on wheels, these are great program. we are $0 trillion in debt. can we keep borrowing more and more on our grand kids' credit card? judge jeanine: isn't part of the argument that this is something better than the state. the fact he hasn't add to the deficit and he's trying to the keep program untouched. if people wanted to be charitable they can do it directly. they can barely pay their tax and their bills. >> you push things from the federal government down to the state government. they push it down to the cities and towns. it's people's quality of life is determine bid their zip code more and more and more. there are some commend things we should all share in. taking care of our veterans is one of them. taking care of children whose parents can't feed them at home. judge jeanine: children going without food is absurd in this country. >> that's not true. judge jeanine: there are more people on social services and stood stamps than ever in this country. >> a lot of kids in a lot of schools get meal to the bring home for the weekend. in the summer when they are out of school. one of the biggest challenges for low-income familiar his is to make sure they can get three meals on the table for their kids. judge jeanine: we feed half the world. matt: >> there comes a time when it am not about are he compassionate. it's about common every day working class folks feel like they are paying for government it takes two incomes in a family to pay for government. the money you make after that point in the year you can actually keep. there was a bit of a political revolt. people were saying we are tieferld all of uls who don't make that much money have to pay for everybody else who seems to be making bad lifestyle choices. wee all care about kids. but we have to have responsibility. judge jeanine: there isn't anyone who thinks kids shouldn't be getting foods. but to say meals on wheels. the veterans administration has a bloated budget. they need to get rid of the va and give these people direct access to money. >> a lot of homeless veterans and there are too many of them and they are not being taken care of. this budget doesn't help them. how many people in this country who voted for donald trump are realizing they are upon obamacare and they are about to lose it? that's the big challenge. and they realize it. matt: >> that's not true. judge jeanine: "street justice" straight ahead. presidential historian and renaissance man, i'll be talking live with the great ben stein next. at's why i bought six of you for when you stretch out. i want you to stay this bright blue forever, that's why you'll stay in this drawer forever. i can't live without you, and that's why i'll never ever wash you. protect your clothes from stretching, fading and fuzz with downy fabric conditioner. fading and fuzz with downy fabric conditioner. it smooths and strengthens fibers to protect clothes from the damage of the wash. so your favorite clothes stay your favorite clothes. downy fabric conditioner. during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. ban. >> the constitution is absolutely clear-cut. the president has authority over immigration. congress hassen it has -- has go him over and over again. this judge comes out of a surf shop in hawaii and says i have authority over everything it's up to me. forget withr what with -- forgee congress did. forget the constitution. any law can be struck down by a trivial federal court judge. we have dictators in black robes telling the american people, your votes don't matter, the congress votes don't matter. judge jeanine: the judge you mentioned is derrick watson, a harvard man. doesn't that add credentials to your resume? >> harvard law school graduates are very smart people. but at yale we developed a theory of legal realism. that was long before my time there that said judges can just decide anything they want. doesn't matter what the legal precedents are. they can find a came case and claim that backs them up it's a very serious situation. judge jeanine: what this judge said was i'm going to find animus against muslims based on what he said during the campaign. are you kidding me? and say i'm going to look for animus. what do you say to the head of g.e., what did you say to the broad in the bar the other night. not that i'm suggesting anything. i don't even know hot ceo of gevment is. >> in legal realism that we developed at yale law school which says judges don't have to be bound by the four corners off congress or the laws of state. it's whatever they want to decide. very dangerous situation. we have a situation where the judiciary is out of control, not bound by anything but themselves. we want a strong judiciary, but we don't want a judiciary which suddenly made itself dictators and that's what's happening now. judge jeanine: i can't help but think some of the district judges are responding to some of the things donald trump said during the campaign. >> of course they are. i have a friend web's great expert in immigration law. he said it's a simple thing. the president can decide, the congress can decide. none of it matters if the judge doesn't like donald trump, they will right unconstitutional. it has nothing to do with the law. it has to do with the judge's personal animus against trump. it's not animus against immigrants or muslims. it's against trump. judge jeanine: gorsuch, the hearings start tomorrow. we haven't heard much. >> the "new york times" is trying to drop a big lead anchor around him as a big rich guy. i think he's going to get through. i think he will be a great justice. god bless him. judge jeanine: ben stein, what do you think about russia? is russia hacking us? >> i manage they are. and i manage we are hacking them. that's standard stuff. the "wall street journal" which i consider the greatest paper in the country was saying that obama was tapping him. that's not something trump dreamed up out of thin air it's been widely reported. judge jeanine: thank you, ben stein. only i can visit the st. patrick's day parade and get everyone talking about hillary clinton. ♪ energy is amazing. how we use it is only limited by our imagination. and at southern company we're building the future of energy, for you. itbut one i think with quesa simple answer. we have this need to peek over our neighbor's fence. and once we do, we see wonder waiting. every step you take, narrows the influence of narrow minds. bridges continents and brings this world one step closer. so, the question you asked me. what is the key?

protesting after the supreme court threw out a petition to delay tamar's vote with the country deeply divided there are fears of violence here in kenya with the latest also coming up a surprising twist in the case of a german human rights organizer on trial in turkey prosecutors are reportedly demanding he be released. and a german president can call their steinmeier says he wants better ties between berlin and moscow steinmeyer meets with president vladimir putin as part of his visit to russia will ask our correspondent in moscow what kind of reception he received. also the anti semitism scandal rocking italian soccer fans of rome's club a lot c.-o. left stickers in their stadium and frank wearing a rival teams jersey will examine their reactions. city of it and you cough which happened recently but he also pointed out that dialogue is important and he pointed out these store called ties that russia and germany share and now it was similar with putin he also said there were difficulties but they didn't want to stand still on dialogue so both of them optimistic there for keeping ties and keeping the channels of communication open a lot of diplomacy they are taking place in moscow but the official reason for this visit to emily is steinmeyer participating in this handover of a cathedral to st peter and paul cathedral a back to the evangelical lutheran church of russia tell us more about that. yeah that's right the handover is actually part of festivities marking five hundred years since the protestant reformation and i went to the church to talk to the people there and see what this change of ownership means to them let's take a look. an air of celebration at a normal sunday service the last one before this evangelical lutheran congregation in moscow officially gets its church back. lutherans are religious minority here in russia most in the community have german roots their ancestors came to russia centuries ago on the invitation of the czars who promised land and religious freedom but later the soviet government persecuted lutherans and seized church property including this cathedral the community led by archbishop paula has been using it again since the fall of the soviet union but so far it has remained russian government property. to be the. serenely used to shoo shoo news to tell you. that the more of the picture because that's the get the liberal. party that they need to work if that is it creates a situation. so. in the officially atheist soviet union many churches were repurposed from nine hundred thirty seven this cathedral was used as a movie theater and a film studio by then all lutheran churches across the country had been closed and many of their pastors arrested and shot. here at video cemetery in moscow long known as the city's german cemetery the scars of that persecution are still tangible many gravestones here were neglected and destroyed after the second world war the lutheran community struggled with the additional stigma of its german origins often associated with the nazi enemy. which. most of the really new study released today is that each skipper nor. chester yeah they used to it nice nacelle nova it up as a strongly in the short circuit just outside cricketer. please put this into context for us how important is the handover of this church. well the archbishop there was talking about the restoration of historical justice after all the evangelical lutheran were persecuted for a long time during the soviet union and after the second world war there their german past also came back to haunt them as it were and he also talked about this this church being handed over it means to them that they have their own their own home as it were that before it was as if they were inhabiting someone else's apartment this is a risk huge symbolic gesture and in fact it was the reason for steinmeyer visit and it's important to the congregation as we just saw but it's just the first step in restoring church property as the archbishop told me he hopes that it will set a precedent for other churches being handed back and other property being handed back and steinmeier also said that the church is a nice gesture and also it shows the importance it's a gesture towards germany as well not just all right or very very important diplomatic just sure they're being made in moscow thank you so much emily a sure win for your reporting and we want to shift our focus now to some of the other stories making news around the world. in barcelona demonstrators have made new calls for independence for the region of catalonia this after catalan leader carlos turned down an invitation to address spain's senate this week will the senate is due to hold a vote on dismissing the government on friday. in austria coalition talks are underway between the center right people's party of incoming chancellor sebastian courts and the far right freedom party the a food led by high school came third in elections earlier this month curt's has promised zero tolerance on anti semitism and said future partners must be pro you're. a little in bangkok the five day funeral ceremony has started for king. his son has been performing rights in the city's historic quarter while tens of thousands of mourners have filed into the surrounding areas to bid farewell to the monarch the king died last october at the age of eighty eight. all right we want to tell you now about some breaking news coming in from turkey the german the press agency d.p.a. is reporting that turkish prosecutors are calling for the release of german human rights activist peter starting there well our starters trial got underway today after he was arrested in istanbul back in july shatner is accused of having links to terrorism but berlin has made repeated calls for his release. and it appears during jones has been covering trial proceedings for us at the supreme court in istanbul all day dorian tell us so what you've been hearing well it has taken everyone by surprise the hearings are still going on even though it's late at night but during those hearings the prosecutor made an announcement that all the defendants with the exception of one turkish human rights defender should be released in two released in from pretrial detention now this is been a key demand of all human right defenders are. and seen as something that they've been pushing very hard for but speaking to people international officials ahead of the trial there was this hope that some will be released but not the foreign nationals now the fact that the prosecutor does appear to be calling for the release all of those foreign nationals will be welcome but it's undoubtedly is a surprise and is seen as a result of probably heavy international lobbying but they have to say that the final decision will made with the judge who is expected to make that in the next couple of hours or so but they speak the hearings are still going on final decision will be with the judge but if the prosecutor has called for this is seen as extremely significant i mean as you've already outlined that this is a very surprising development were there any indications throughout the day that this was even a possibility. well not a toll him the the prosecutor was very tough in the cross examinations pushing very hard on this case even though it has drawn such condemnation paul the lack of evidence according to most observers so there was little hope that there would be a gesture made on speaking to observers have been following the case closely their expectation was of possibly some of the turkish human rights defenders could be released but little chance was given for the foreign nationals in particular peter storrie so this is seen as a major surprise but i do say caution the final decision will lay with the judge all right so the final decision is what the judge relations between her and berlin have plunged to the historic low how serious is the rift and especially if you consider that in addition to start married there are ten other germans sitting in jail accused of having ties to mr gould and considering this development as breaking development do you think that this is one way of turkey to reestablish its diplomatic relations with for instance germany. well on the outlay i think if peter's story is released and crucially if he's allowed to leave the country which has happened with other foreign nationals that have been released from pretrial to say internet even though the trial is still continuing that will be seen as a very significant gesture i think the fact that there was there is is fear that the bilateral tensions were spiralling out of control and there is still the potential for that we've rumors of berlin is going to push harder for more financial sanctions against iran that would undoubtedly have led to more retaliate in those if it is tit for tat would. these relations into the abyss now that this if peter storrie name is released him from from his prerogative and possibly allowed to return back home i think that that would be seen as an opportunity for a reset a beginning of a new dialogue but there are as you said there are still ten other german nationals languishing in jail and they still remains a major stumbling block to improving relations but if story that is released that will be seen as a major step forward and least putting on hold this spiral into the abyss of tensions between the countries ok well let's talk a little bit about people in turkey itself how worried are turks about the direction of politics under mr. well i mean it is split more or less down the middle the president no one is still very popular is still the most popular politician in the country he deals secure around forty fifty percent of the support but equally the other side of the countries incredibly opposed to him and this polarized nation and and came to it with turkey's key allies trading allies also relations the united states are very bad at the moment i think is causing alarm and feeding into this polarization but it has to be said i think that the eries growing evidence that even among president of one's own supporters there are factors that are starting to get appearing to be can turn a concern and possibly a softening in support among those for one and that is crucial because the president when it's facing reelection in presidential elections in the next two years and he needs every supporter you can get to secure what is it going to be a very close vote so possibly this gesture for peter storrie could be seen as a gesture to those concerned supporters within his own ranks dorian jones reporting on breaking news from turkey prosecutors calling for the release of german human rights activists peter start thank you. all right and now we've got some business news now with the helena and lift tons that is flying high what can i say later profits at the gemini carrier have really were acquitted it recently enough towns are reporting a thirty two percent rise in underlying fed quarter earnings that's before interest and tax now offer years of cost cutting the group is back on the offensive this also keeping its feet on the ground sticking to its on your forecast. business is going well for germany's largest airline look duns up in the summer the car being creased ticket prices and its cargo unit is booming. the sounds i was able to boost revenue thanks in part to its increased market share following the acquisition of brussels airlines last year the carrier is also flying more people. in two thousand and sixteen tons of flu some one hundred ten million passengers nearly two percent more than in twenty fifteen the growth didn't come from its flagship carrier but from its german subsidiary budget airline euro wins still for the first time with downs as passenger numbers were overtaken by dublin based no cost carrier up the line air. the german airline now plans to retake the top position from ryan air in europe with its acquisition of a large chunk of rival air berlin and it's not stopping there with tons out also wants to apply a parts of italy's largest carrier tahlia but antitrust authorities could spoil the party they will be reviewing whether look tons is gaining a monopoly position on too many routes. well as you heard there is not the same success story for an end in the hopes of thousands of air berlin workers have been dashed many were hoping to keep their job spot also the carry being sold off by the government three german states and of tons have failed to agree on setting up a transfer company to keep them employed so that means that now only twelve hundred ground crew in berlin will be able to stay on authorities in the german capital say they will set aside up to ten million euros to help out local staff. and germany's largest lender bank has agreed to pay out a combined total of two hundred twenty million dollars to forty five states across the united states surveys and edged manipulation of interbank lending rights now the state's investigation allegedly uncovered that dog. the bank along with some other big banks including barclays had inflated the libel rate now the libel rate is the rate used to work out how much banks should charge each other for boring money has already agreed to fines of two and a half billion dollars with federal authorities in the u.s. and authorities in the u.k. the bank says the payouts agree to today close the case. the e.u. has put a decision on the life of states on the back burner once again the member states can't agree on whether to renew the european license for the widely used herbicide over a million europeans have signed a petition against it worried that the chemical can cause cancer because studies prove otherwise. it's the most commonly used herbicide in the world in europe farmer sprague life is saved on around half of all fields used to raise commercial crops but the weed killer is highly controversial due to concerns that could have an impact on human and environmental health today the e.u. once again postponed a decision on whether or not to ban it activists in brussels hit the streets on wednesday to push for a one year they say its institutions have colluded with the industry at the expense of the public they want the commission to come out with a non-renewal of full band any number of years whether it's one year five years ten years as long as it's revenue it's not a ban and european citizens have been clear they want to ban studies don't agree on whether glyphosate is a long term cancer risk or not the world health organization has said it could pose a danger the e.u.'s food safety authority has proclaimed the chemical harmless but has also been accused of basing that opinion on studies sponsored by manufacturers like monsanto greens in the european parliament say that's not acceptable. we need to look at independent studies not just ones carried out by the industry we have to finally end this thing with life i say there are standard farming methods that work fine without the heavy use of chemicals. by standard farming methods mountain hoisting means organic agriculture but many farmers say those methods are too expensive and think it's enough to only ban use of the herbicide directly before the harvest the battle will now continue as the e.u. committee responsible for making a decision was once again split at the conclusion of the meeting no vote was taken the commission took note of the position of different delegations often in the states a form in which you could now reflect and really knows the date of the next meeting shorty. the commission is in favor of extending use for another five to seven years but it will have to reach an agreement soon life a state's controversial license in the e.u. expires by the end of december. meanwhile european or makers have called on brussels to investigate malta's anti money laundering system is in response to last week's murder of a multis journalist who reported widely on financial and political corruption and multis government is under scrutiny in particular for its handling of illegal business activities the adelie tiny island group lies in the mediterranean the tax system is also delivered to some and attracts many international corporations here officially at least they pay thirty five percent corporate tax but through a series of complex refunds most companies only pay around five percent felt as economy grew six point seven percent last year more than three times faster than the e.u. average agriculture accounted for around one percent of the island's gross domestic product manufacturing around fourteen percent the largest sector by far was the service sector no surprise given this includes income from two risen in financial services a massive twelve percent of g.d.p. a multicultural online gambling these two branches of the economy are reportedly controlled by the mafia who conduct their operations out of nearby sicily experts say maltese are paid financial laws create an ideal climate for below board business something italy's anti mafia commission knows they're visiting malta this week. but it is necessary to close those legal loopholes that the mafia uses whether they use violence a when they use complicity or corruption mafia gangs always have a predatory attitude towards the areas they target. but in the. crime tax avoidance and corruption malta's government has done little to change the situation and even the e.u. has turned a blind eye in the past something at least some officials here hope to change. all right inspired courageous or just downright crazy leyla has quite a tale of adventure and i bet when you were a young girl you dreamt of being able to fly well one guy actually has tried to do that in south africa where this man has sailed overhead for two hours camping chair held up by a bunch of bull and so he left off near the city of johannesburg the british adventurer spent days in flaming going around the head of the flight which he described as magical well after reaching a height of two and a half thousand meters he popped some of the balloons to float back down to earth. don't try this at home how come you're watching the news here is we're still ahead . maybe not so tough after all the political parties trying to form a four way governing coalition in germany appear to be making steady progress but the thorny issues are still to come. paying tribute to a music legend we look back on the legacy of rock n roll pioneer fats domino who's died at the age of eighty nine. that and a whole lot more coming up in just a few. history books are brought to life. maybe the stories there are enough to get a rewrite of. the story of the russian revolution. from the perspective of writers thinkers and to covent garden just what did it feel like to live in times of revolution. nineteen seventeen the real october forty five minutes to. the sling and the fresh d.w. that i may speak your language to talk about. for content in dari pashto and order prospects for returning to our web special meeting at the refugee journeys of life in germany and the prospects for those returning home. and join the discussion on g.w. dot com and on facebook. prospects for returning s w maybe for my. progress study with a. start to divide the country i think it's the only way they start to divide the language your blood will flow for could. lead to. the soviet union disparate parts. of. the members of the russian federation would have to find their own way politically and economically would love something it was an incredibly difficult task let me. give you this democracy was a law of the sea for the lections where fraud sense of privatization was robbery. the soviet union territory where does russia stand today and moscow's empire were syrians starting november fifth. good to see you again you're watching it over your news coming to you live from berlin on the rock this is these are i mean stories right now. kenyan opposition leader raila odinga calls on his supporters to boycott the worst days presidential election rerun the move comes after the supreme court dropped a petition to delay the polls due to a lack of judges the decision triggered protests by opposition supporters. or force coming in from turkey say prosecutors are demanding that german human rights activist peter start there be set free as trial on terrorism related charges got underway today the case has become a flashpoint in an already tense relations between germany and turkey. are going to head now to saudi arabia where that country's young crown prince has outlined ambitious plans to transform the conservative kingdom mohamad been some model promised what he called a quote moderate and opened saudi arabia speaking to investors at the yard the thirty two year old prince also pledged to end extremism and other. extremist ideas . all right well lead dalia romney is a german saudi businesswoman she's also a former journalist who worked at arab news and she joins us now from dubai a very good evening dahlia the crown prince seems very determined to shake things up vows to return to a more moderate islam in the kingdom now as you know attempts in the past got a lot of pushback so how does he plan on doing this and why now. evening is doing it's looking in the timing is right. and so surely other ones. this of course also comes after the country made world headlines recently with its decision to lift the ban on women driving in the kingdom do you see this as being part of a concerted effort to transform a saudi society. we need it is the local work that needs to be done. does not mean that women have their rights they still need their guardians mission. to work and for a. so taking that into consideration what you've just been saying i mean how much should we attribute to where the crown prince is saying in terms of wanting to push through these reforms well you can take his words well yes sure he's very determined and in the last three months there has been in use. and social scene in saudi arabia. you mean the various years all right now crown prince oman of course also announced that he wants to reduce the kingdom's reliance on oil that would be a major feat for any resource depend on the economy did he outlined how he plans to do this. it is difficult to see how this can be done in the foreseeable future trying to create jobs outside or by investing in truth in education and in large scale in many mineral extract since. this course is all on folding against a backdrop of continuing tensions with qatar do these play a role at all in these developments. up there has nothing to do with business it's hugely up would lead to. that the realization is that without transformation the future for saudi arabia is going to be challenging it is very challenging because you have romney were seventy percent of the jobs. sector direct in directly so we need to move there has to be a change done it's a tough one it's very it's very demanding and i think the confidence is really doing that the best would be that it can be done today. is a german study businesswoman a former journalist who worked at arab news thank you for joining us from dubai. all right we have to do us now are documents related to the assassination of john f. kennedy over five decades ago or so to be released tomorrow by the u.s. national air archives well the trove is expected to include some three thousand classified documents which have never been released before and about thirty eight thousand that have been previously released with redactions well we're seeing pictures from that day on november twenty second one nine hundred sixty three when a lone gunman lee harvey oswald shot kennedy dead in dallas texas. that was a very very fateful day that that changed history in the u.s. and of course the anticipation of what could be revealed in those files has arm chair detectives buzzing and let's get more now from the show from our social media disco good to see you. after all these years what are people hoping to find in these documents. well the assassination of john f. kennedy gave rise to decades of conspiracy theories one big question that people are asking up until today is whether lee harvey oswald acted alone or whether there were other gunmen so cia reports show that a few weeks before the assassination harvey oswald took a trip to mexico city and there he met with the diplomats and spies from cuba and the savia to union and us all conspiracy of fear is they say ok this is prove that there of the cia is trying to cover things up that theory has been dismissed by experts and many of them actually say ok we're hoping that those documents tomorrow will put an end to this theory that there was more than one gunman and one person hoping to that's true as to come out is actually a former cia a story not cia agent but secret service agent actually j.f.k.'s body guard yet clint hill he is the man who jumped into the car right after those shots fail and this is what he is saying on twitter i know what i saw heard and felt that in addition to all the evidence i've seen points to one shooter lee harvey oswald three shots all of from the same position and now although we have accounts of people who are really there at the event there are still sixty one percent of americans who believe that there was more than one gunman so will this finally put an end to all the speculation. probably in in there are books there are movies there are documentaries that are trying to counter the official narrative of what happened to j.f.k. and right now social media is actually giving a very big platform for a such conspiracy theories in fact we looked through facebook and we found a number of facebook groups where people are discussing these theories everybody trying to come up with their own sort of proof here for example is one group it is called the j.f.k. assassination research bureau and on the other hand we had people who are ok waiting for those documents to be released tomorrow and they're kind of having fun with this whole speculation they say ok let's talk about the unlikely things that will be in the j.f.k. if they say ok things that we won't find there for example are trumps a tax returns. and other thing is that every song that ever went missing and i absolutely love this one here i'm sure that you will remember that viral discussion about the color of this particular dress people online asking ok is it blue and black is it's gold and why it's will we find answers to that in the j.f.k. files that nobody knows but tomorrow we will have all the answers later right liz show thank you. i'm back here in berlin political parties trying to form a governing coalition after last month's election appear to be making progress talks between shots on the american conservatives the free democrats and greens had been expected to last several weeks if not months while the parties say they've already reached agreement on the outlines of finance policy including maintaining a balanced budget but there are some forney issues still ahead. so much concrete agreement probably came as a surprise there's already an initial paper outlining common goals and everyone has been tweeting about it the main point no new debt. but for the green party that represents simply a notice of intention to avoid and we want a balanced budget but we also want to do something for people with low incomes for families we want to do something about the environmentally destructive subsidy it's about constructing rental housing. all parties involved want to invest and to relieve financial burdens especially on families with children and lower to middle income groups but is all that possible without new debt. the greens don't believe it can work and we know that it can and that is the whole point of the negotiations to determine how to make something sensible out of the games agree together and if you can that will require further discussion but the bavarian allies of merkel's conservative c.d.u. party worry whether their expensive campaign promises can be implemented because as i hope this won't be a single capital solution that is the least amount of relief but then we should focus on making sure that relief is palpably effective reservations about and despite the common ground found so far the next round will focus on refugees and migration reaching agreement there is expected to pose fresh difficulties. tahlia police have identified sixteen people who placed anti semitic stickers iran's olympic stadium on sunday a fans of capital couple had sought to taunt supporters of their local rivals by making stickers of anne frank in a room or shirt obviously that shamed italian soccer and has stirred strong reactions across europe. troubling scenes at rome's a lympics stadium during a game against colliery last sunday some fans put stickers in the arena that showed and frank the german born teenage diarists murdered in the holocaust wearing the jersey of their local rivals roma. reaction to the incident has been fierce on tuesday last year as president claudio the tito paid a visit to rome's main synagogue to lay a wreath in remembrance of holocaust victims said the club would take two hundred young fans to the auschwitz concentration camp every year as part of an education campaign. nor your we're here today to make clear once again our position of distancing ourselves from any form of siena phobia racism and anti semitism. more to do with the italian president and prime minister condemn the actions of a lot c.s. supporters the italian football federation said a minute of silence will be observed before all games across the country this week and a passage from frank's diary will be read out over a stadium loudspeakers lot c.-o. have had a history of anti semitic behavior some twenty years ago lots of fans at a city darby held a banner reading auschwitz is your homeland the ovens are your homes. i want to get more on that story with terry daly he's a sports journalist based in rome and joins us right now what is been the reaction from italian media and fans. well italian media has been predictably outraised of what's happened it's not the first time in the last year fans of engage in this kind of activism is not the first time the fans in rome in general because these kind of attitudes in rome have a similarly nasty foreigner a group element in outliers. i would say that it was kind of strange to see that the main two main sports newspapers are going to sell us all and the girl didn't run with this story is a major front page story they ran it as a sole story on the front page and then left it pastes world and thirteen in the newspapers while they still carried on with a regular news story so you know people have been outraged but at the same time it's almost like we've kind of used his pavia now i mean that so and others of course in his lead carried on with this kind of nonsense for such a long time now that people must become so used to that all right let's talk a little bit about that then because that's actually quite worrying at would you say that this type of act anticipated behavior in general when it comes to light so is that typical of their fans it's typical of sort of fairly large subsection of their hardcore support yes i mean there's been a long strains the rage of far right now fascism within an old which is where the last or to congregate in the soul of the or for the best part for decades i mean the current group that runs there really runs their fan base in every sense is the reader to believe their main guys are gods or beasts of the she said early and he's a noted fascist he's also. let's say on television you know you know sort of so we like the way that he's had problems of the law in part with other issues not related to focal and he's also been named alongside other far out terrorists who've taken part in political violence in the seventy's and eighty's so there's a clear thread over that so however in recent years say this kind of obvious manifestation of near fascism is become less common it should also be remembered that the reason that's offense for the stick is out in the first place is because they've been moved to go berserk which is the road and and they were moved there because they racially abused two sessile of clothes a few weeks ago and they had had their fill of the closed so you know lots of problems there that you outline. how has the club reacted to this scandal are they trying to tackle this problem. it's a kind of hard problem to tackle in the sense that if you try to tackle it seriously you only against some quite nasty people i mean toilet seats as the president of the club who you saw earlier went to the synagogue and. he has been threatened seriously by these people number of occasions. toothaches he took when he took over the club around thirteen years ago. so it's very hard because they're living apart from sort of just outside the fact that they themselves don't agree with this star and that they don't believe that the wider let's say fan base is of this particular political opinion however i have not enough is being done at the end of the day because this problem persisted and it's problems on terry daly sports journalist based in rome italy thank you for having us. and we're going to take a look at the financial fallout from hurricane maria now with helena thank you lated now it's been over a month since hurricane maria slammed into the caribbean many residents in puerto rico a still without electricity the u.s. territory was certainly hit hard recovery will take time not least because maria has also affected one of the island's biggest industries tourism. in the small city of jaco insult western puerto rico there's still a lot of cleanup work left to do hurricane maria struck some communities here with devastating force. u.s. military and emergency aid teams are only slowly beginning to gain an overview of the most pressing problems things look a lot more orderly in the capital san juan but residents here face another problem many rely completely on tourism to earn a living around five million visitors on average come to the island annually and they spend four billion dollars here but although high season is just around the corner the tourists aren't coming this year where the impact of the we are very very uphill to see them but it turns. also out. for where the workers the ones that are open that is about one in three hotels on the island is still boarded up and a lot of restaurants can't open because they still have no regular power many beaches also remain closed after sewage systems overflowed into the sea during the hurricane still where to reconsider thrown in the towel some even see this as a fresh start. an opportunity to improve an opportunity to assess where we're at as a as an industry and really revamp our product address to the bottom line the brave words what puerto rico was struggling with serious budgetary problems even before maria hit and those missing tourists will make it that much harder to bounce back. right a vision or and there are saudi arabia's planning on building a mega city in the desert oil pumped through the heart of this metropolis only alternative energy robots trains and driverless cars will dominate and the price tag off a train in u.s. dollars. i. blew berryhill was one of anton fats domino his biggest hit. at five foot five and weighing more than ninety kilos domino was not a natural part. but his wide smile and enabled and meaner one audience is over and then of course there was his music heavily influenced by his new orleans roots. my contemporaries such as little richard domino was a black artist whose unique sound appeal to white fans in helped shape early rock n roll. fats domino stayed in the new orleans area after his home was heavily damaged by flooding from hurricane katrina in two thousand and five in his later years he rarely appeared in public aside from occasional performances in his hometown he remained loyal to new orleans until the end. and that is the want to know only rock n roll pioneer fats domino who has sadly died at the age of eighty nine the rhythm and blues pianist from new orleans who sold over one million records and helped change the face of popular music and our very own robin mel is here a true or rock n roll legend absolutely definitely one of the inventors if not the inventor of rock n roll i should mention. deadly and maybe chuck berry as well but for me it was fast he always maintained that he played rhythm and blues but it was those triplets that you just had their little bit of and a strong the drum beat that actually was the beginning. rock n roll and he sold more records in the nine hundred fifty s. than anybody else in the world except elvis and then he actually his first single the fat man was the first song ever to sell a million records then in nineteen fifty five he recorded blueberry hill which wasn't his own song by the way it was an old song from the nine hundred thirty s. and he did these sort of trademark triplets on the drum was strong and the bass as well and that sold five million copies worldwide he's just such a towering figure here fortunately didn't perform that much in recent years but he is but his influence is undeniable oh yeah i mean not just to musicians i should explain he was the first one of the first black musicians to get white audience and we're talking about a time in the one nine hundred fifty s. when the deep south was very segregated he comes from new orleans of course and he and other black artists really had a lot to do with you know to get rid of segregation via music when you talk about music the influence just where to start but i'll just give one example really the beatles they wrote lady madonna lennon mccartney it was said that they wrote it they wrote it in the start of someone and it was written for him but then they recorded it but john lennon said and i quote that couldn't have been a beatles with fats domino and if you just think of that couldn't have been so much rock n roll if he wanted to others maybe started it off as it changed it from rhythm and blues elvis cited him as an influence as well and he's really so influential to the sixty's when ronald exploded if you like but to this day in fact just before i came on to philly around found on you tube a video of ladysmith putin singing blueberry hill we won't play it right now but you see he's even influence politics he said. you is universal and the fantastic thing is you have met the man the legend in person share with us how you're doing i did i interviewed him maybe thirty years ago now it was here in berlin and the funny thing was it was after a concert and i always got interviews before a concert i never got interviews after a concert because the people who play the concert whoever they were i want to relax have a drink and party well i had a an interview after the concert here in berlin and the man i mean such a humble wonderful gentle man in all ways really just a wonderful chap and i was quite a young reporter and he sat me down and chatted to me and he has a strong new orleans accent which i found difficult to understand really but it was ok it was sort of ok and then he was talking about used to take ice to the rich people's houses in new orleans and i come and then i pressed the button i was a radio report from my tape machine and as i did to start the interview he went there and took his false teeth i think if the interviews that he did it was. i shouldn't really love i mean i didn't really understand much more of what he said and i took my treasured interviewed by city office and played it for my my colleagues who also didn't understand it so we really couldn't use much of it but it so sad to hear really that such a great man who has passed away reached the grand old age of eighty nine new orleans is in mourning the whole world of rock n roll is in mourning but a great legend we can definitely say that word tonight the legend of rock n roll it's a word that's often i mean used to in many contexts but in this context it's really a pleasurable he's such a towering figure and we're going to leave our viewers with some fats domino thank you so much robin and thank you

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Hannity 20171027 01:00:00

their attacks were purely, purely political. the number one of the truth. we have real evidence the fbi uncovered a russian plot -- we have real evidence. bribery, extortion, blackmail, money laundering, racketeering. they knew in 2009. one year before hillary clinton and obama administration approved this corrupt uranium one deal. what we've learned this week is that the fbi, the department of justice, all new in 2009 that this was happening inside our country. they did nothing to stop it. the same democrats come at the same media outlets that were screaming bought a murder for a year, lying to you every day about donald trump, i getting next tos story. keep in mind we have an fbi informant in this case who infiltrated this putin network right here in america. he has evidence, emails, personal recordings. documents. insider knowledge of all this. that america's national security was, in fact, compromised at the highest level. our country was sold out right in front of our faces. they let it happen. of course you have the explosive new details about the phony, fake, salacious dossier. we now know the clinton campaign and the dnc played over $9 million to help fund these lies. this propaganda hit piece. that the russian government sources gave them. make no mistake, this was nothing short of a collaborative effort with the russians to manipulate the outcome of the last presidential election. we have the proof. also, we have to point something out. since everyone is so worried about russia, collusion, isn't it interesting that at no point did any democrats come at the overpaid liberal media friends or robert mueller or members of his team, none of them -- they ? none of them as the one man on this earth that knows the truth. that would know the truth. the wikileaks founder, julian assange. he's the one individual the post of the information about the dnc emails. no one ever took the time to do what we did, and talk to julian assange. i talked to him on air five times. because they knew what his answer would be and they did not like it. he was telling us again and again, it was never russia. it was never a state party. all these scandals and the ensuing coverups add to what i'm telling you now is the biggest betrayal of view, the american people, that i can think of in my lifetime. the american people have not been regularly lied to. if you've been misinformed. you can propagandized by a political party, and in abusively biased liberal media that have literally no interest in helping the people of this country or telling you the truth. to them, everything obviously is about politics and advancing the rigid radical left-wing ideology. with all that said, here's all the new information we have tonight. on the fake news dossier, hillary clinton has been completely silent. it so far, clinton has yet to say anything publicly about financing a document that used current and former russian government sources to create the most obscene, salacious, completely fabricated accusations about donald trump. since hillary clinton is refusing to talk about her role in the dossier, we decided to reach out to a spokesperson for comment. big surprise, they referred to us to other people. in a statement it said "hillary for america and the dnc compliant with all finance laws. " that's informative. hillary silences beyond telling. sources have told "the new york times" that hillary clinton only learned about the dossier when buzzfeed published it back in january. really? hillary has such a great track record of telling the truth. the current dnc chairman as running as far away as he can. claiming he knew nothing about it. disgraced former dnc chairman, debbie wasserman saltz says he she has no idea what was going on. john podesta told congress he wasn't aware of any of these payments. nobody knows nothing. how is it possible that over $9 million went out the door and people in charge had no idea that money was being spent? so many democrats regurgitated the lies just like the media. speaker of the house paul ryan announced that the fbi will cooperate with the house document request about this dossier. this is a huge development and we will be following that closely. also fox news has learned that congressional hearings with the fbi informant who is the key witness in this russian bribery scheme, will also be with the chairman and ranking members of the committees only. fox news has also been told that senate judiciary committee chairman, senator chuck grassley, he rightly is pushing for public hearings with the fbi informant. we have to remember that in each of these scandals, laws were broken. fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett has put together a list for us. take a look at the side of your screen. these are all the laws that were potentially broken by the clinton campaign and the dnc and the fake news dossier scandal. there's the uranium one scandal. gregg jarrett back at work. federal statutes involving crimes like bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud. racketeering. beyond serious stuff. this is "go to jail" type of things. the clinton email scandal. they are now up on the side of your screen. house committees are looking into how the fbi and the department of justice during the obama administration handled these issues and for good reason. james comey led hillary clinton off the hook despite the overwhelming amount of evidence of wrongdoing. with all this new information, the big question tonight is who knew what and when? with a uranium one the fbi had mountains of evidence of russian bribery. did president obama know about this? was it in president obama's daily presidential briefings? that might have been told to the lawyer of the fbi informant. what it hillary clinton know and when did she know? did she know her husband, bill clinton, was being paid double his speaking fees for a speech in moscow? did she know bill asked for permission while in moscow to meet with russian nuclear officials? did she know eventually bill met with putin during the trip and advocated? he advocated that the uranium one deal be done and also was paid by a bank that had a financial interest in uranium one. how could both of them, obama and clinton, everything -- ever -- it's a good idea to give 20% of america's uranium to vladimir putin? by the way, that's a foundational material for nuclear weapons. we need to hear from key obama administration officials. for example, eric holder. what did he know and when did he know it? he was in charge of the doj. did he know about the evidence of putin's network right here inside the united states quest to mark all the crimes being committed in 2009, before this uranium one deal was approved i. eric holder and hillary clinton were part of the committee signed off on this deal, personally. eric holder did and hillary did. there's robert mueller. the fbi director back in 2009. how inconceivable is it that he did did not know russian operatives were in our country? trying to break into the uranium market on behalf of vladimir? how could he possibly oversee any investigation into any russian collusion? next we have rod rosenstein. in charge of the investigation into this russian bribery plot. did he not have a conflict of interest? then we have to ask, james comey. what did he know and why didn't he act? there's also questions about the phony dossier. how is it possible these same people didn't think it was necessary to tell you, the american people, tell congress that the clinton camp and dnc paid for it? we are working hard day and night. you deserve answers to every one of these questions. one other important thing we have to tell you about the night before we bring in our guest, we now have proof that intelligence wasn't the only powerful government entity that was weaponized by the obama administration. you may remember -- i talk about five forces against the president. one is the deep state. they weaponize the power of the intelligence to use against this president. the department of justice announced they reached a settlement with multiple tea party groups that were targeted specifically by the obama irs because of their political ideology. the settlement includes payouts to several key party groups and an official apology from the irs which now means their actions during the obama years was wrong. the irs targeting people you don't like or agree with? much of this irs weaponization occurred while many of these tea party groups were in the critical and initial stages of forming a resistance to the policies of obama. that stopped them dead in their tracks. many were prevented from organizing and instead were spending all their time, all their resources and money to combat persecution from a politically inspired irs. okay, the apology and settlement settlement? a day late and a dollar short. ultimately, the democrats get everything they wanted. the tea party became distracted and ultimately fractured and obama was reelected for a second term in 2012. we have so much new information tonight. joining us now from the american center for law and justice and of courts one of the presidents councils -- jay sekulow and fox news legal analyst, gregg jarrett, jay, you need take take a victory lap. you love this case and the irs. they did weaponize the irs and turn them against anybody that was conservative, tea party -- a big win but obama also got what he wanted. >> look, it took three and half years of litigation to get tyler. our team did a fantastic job of litigating this. it's an acknowledgment of wrongdoing but also a complete change of policies. there will be an order signed by the court in the next week. meaning that the policies will go forward and they will not be able to do what they did which is violate the first amendment. whether you are right, left, or center. the idea that the government would target somebody by the name of the organization violates the fundamental aspects of freedom of speech. we now have an agreement with that. it's a good day for our clients but it was three and a half years. a lot of those groups were not able to continue to advocate. it wasn't just tea party groups. there were groups -- just because of the name they had in their organization, they were targeted for this. beyond the pale. the end result -- >> sean: i was in atlanta in 2010. massive crowds that were energized. they wanted to oppose obama's policies. they got stopped in their tracks. >> we got a result but the harm was done. no question. i'm glad the case is over. glad it was resolved and i'm glad the government took responsibility. glad general sessions signed -- moved this forward. he issued a statement today. at the end of the day, three and a half years of litigation to defend a fundamental right of the first amendment. it should have never happened in the first place. >> sean: you are -- i love the fact that you are so organized as a lawyer. here are all the laws in this case. you are a great partner to have on the show. laws potentially broken into uranium one deal. let's put it up on the screen so our audience can understand it. we sold out national security. >> the first six statutes on the screen are the pay to play statutes. you cannot use your public office -- in exchange for money. the evidence appears to be there. because she used her charity, allegedly, that would be racketeering, the government goes after organized crime and the mafia for that. >> sean: okay. for all of these statutes, these are real crimes. i keep saying you can't have a two-tiered justice system. mishandled, destroyed classified top secret special access program information. all of these issues involving the kickbacks, paybacks, pay to play. how do they get away with it and do you think they slide? >> they are escape artist that would make houdini proud. >> sean: [laughs] >> whenever they are caught dangling their feet over the edge of illegality, they usually dummy up. hillary clinton -- she said 39 times "i cannot recall." it was so short because she could only recall her name and date of birth. she pretends she's dumber than a bucket of hair when it serves her purpose and the brightest person in the room when it helps her. >> sean: let's go to the dossier crimes. let's put them up on the screen. this dossier is getting -- the paid $9 million. >> right, you can't paid millions of dollars to foreign nationals because that's against the federal election law, as you can see here. you can't hide it by filing false or misleading reports. i've been hearing democrats say those are just civil penalties. they are not. the government produces a book. 319 pages outline the federal election laws and all those who have been criminally prosecuted had ended up in prison. >> sean: and quickly. thankfully, the email scandal -- they've got this. >> the espionage act. to count that work tortured and twisted by james comey. and removing classified materials. destroying 33,000 documents. >> sean: death obstruction. >> yeah. >> sean: subpoenaed documents. >> by congress. >> sean: jay, let me go back to you. when you look at uranium one, you look at the russian dossier. here's my question and where my mind goes. the dossier -- the of the former mi6 guy, fusion gps. and then i've got to wonder, without the information that sara carter and john solomon reported that there were fi sa warrants? wow, could they have used phony russian propaganda? >> let me tell you something, if, in fact, the dossier was a basis for why and fifa warrant was issued, you are talking about going to court and getting a warrant to basically eavesdrop, tap, listen in on conversations based on the document that was not only unverified -- as james comey said, by the way -- but ask this question, why was the fbi considering paying for it at some point in this process? that question has to be asked. i go back to this whole concept. something we've been talking about for a long time. if this dossier was a political creature, we now know it is -- opposition research. if christopher steele was utilizing russian access to get this information and then james comey said it was unverified and they went to court to get fisa warrants customer if you are raising a whole host of civil liberty issues. >> sean: it admissible in the court of law. >> i file motions to suppress the subpoenas in the document that resulted in that, probably. >> sean: >> the fbi has become s all-powerful renegade deep state agency. they covered up the dossier information and the uranium one information. >> sean: that includes mealy and rosenstein and comey? >> and andrew wiseman. all four are on this trump russia investigation and they are so compromised that they need to start answering questions before congress. >> sean: we think you both we thank you both. we have more coming up, stay with us. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? i talked to my doctor. she said: one, movantik was specifically designed for opioid-induced constipation... oic. number two? my movantik savings card can save me big time over the other things i tried. don't take movantik if you have or had a bowel blockage. serious side effects include opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain, severe diarrhea, and stomach or intestinal tears. tell your doctor about side effects and medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. don't back down from oic. talk to your doctor about mo-van-tik. and how you can have a $0 co-pay. like paperless, multi-car,e and safe driver, that help them save on their car insurance. any questions? -yeah. -how do you go to the bathroom? great. any insurance-related questions? -mm-hmm. -do you have a girlfriend? uh, i'm actually focusing on my career right now, saving people nearly $600 when they switch, so... where's your belly button? [ sighs ] i've got to start booking better gigs. during the 2016 president all election, joining us now is john solomon and sara carter in the attorney representing this all-important fbi informant, victoria toensing is with us. before we get everyone through action, we out to the american law firm. "the assertions in the piece published in circa are false and unfounded. sara, i want to get your response to that, first. >> i prepared a response to that. i emphasized that there was no relation between their lobbying and consulting efforts the russian nuclear company. that's what they stated in our story. in their in-kind work for the global clinton initiative. their work was unrelated to the acquisition of uranium one which is what they claimed. by their parent company and client. i laid out the facts. i stand by the integrity of the story and i will continue to follow the developments wherever they lead. that's my job. stating the facts and wherever they lead, we will go. >> sean: victoria, you are representing the client that knew fbi -- how many years was he involved in looking into this effort by putin and russia to infiltrate the american uranium market? >> from 2009 to 2014 when they finally indicted the individual. >> sean: in 2009, he had, according to reports of john and sara, he had documents, emails, his own personal experience and even recorded conversations. is that true? >> yes, the fbi recorded conversations. he has records of those but they took them back. my latest request i want to tell you -- from the congressional committee, a letter of preservation to the fbi, for all the evidence they accumulated in these cases. the menu political maneuvers they do, the legal request you e when they alert somebody that there may be an adversarial party, you say you keep all the evidence. to destroy it is obstruction. >> sean: wow. how soon do you think we will be hearing from this all-important client of yours? >> that's a really good question. people need to understand the process. right now he's putting together and organizing all of his documents. it will take a couple of weeks. we will prepare and we will be very organized and how we get together a presentation. then we will meet with committee staff. it will be low key and not in the public. there will be an introduction into my client and the congressional committee to see what there is. >> sean: john, let me go to your reporting and sara is reporting. she will present evidence that he knew in 2009. bribery, kickbacks, extortion, money laundering, racketeering. if you knew that in 2009, i think it would be dumb under any circumstances to give putin, a hostile actor and bad guy, 20% of our uranium. knowing all of this, how could anybody logically make that decision? it doesn't make sense on paper. moneywise, it doesn't make sense. >> there are four decisions that ultimately occurred in the obama administration from the time the obama informant found the information and when the charges were finally brought in 2014. four very lucrative decisions. the phrase we know about is uranium one, it's been written about a lot. and then a commercial agreement. a u.s.-russia civil cooperation agreement. it opened up a lot more dialogue between the united states and russia. the third was approval of a deal. opening the door to do direct business. big nuclear company. all these things are going on. on the face they may seem fine to people unless you know the company involved in it is engaged in this wrongdoing. that's what's great concern to this congress. >> sean: sara, with your reporting too. what have we learned? this was designed by vladimir putin. he had eight agents in this country. using all this illegal activity to get what john is describing. >> yes, he wanted to penetrate the american market. not only was he searching for a global marketplace, he specifically wanted to penetrate the american market. that's what he did. i think as victoria, through her client, will begin to unravel -- possibly some of these threads we will see a lot more. it wasn't just in 2009 when the client began to work undercover. but previous to 2009, the fbi had gathered enough evidence to show it was happening either before 2009, this was a long and well thought methodical plan by vladimir putin to penetrate the u.s. market and i think as information continues to develop, we will unravel those pieces of those threads for the american public. >> sean: victoria, i know you have to protect your client and i don't want you to step outside and i know you wouldn't in any way. was he aghast knowing what he knows, in spite of all that he knew what was happening? >> he was furious when the cfius decision was made. he asked the people, the fbi, what is going on? why are they doing this? >> sean: and i got slacked with an nda and then got slapped with an nda. >> just as frustrated as my client. he said politics. >> sean: at wow. >> he he said politics. >> sean: a powerful statement. what can we expect next, john? >> a lot of activity that has to go on in these criminal investigations. we remembered the destruction of evidence. the blackberries being smashed with hammers and things being erased. these committees are going to put out subpoenas or orders. to make sure like the dossier case and fbi case don't get destroyed or lost. and then people have to get prepared. what did the fbi no so they can build this moment where this great informant will begin to talk about what he witnessed undercover. >> sean: you guys have all been amazing and so many ways and have worked so hard. sara, we are so very grateful. john, victoria. always good to see you. we look forward to these coming days and weeks. the man who broke the story, peter schweizer and sebastian gorka. and laura ingraham. go to my twitter page right now. hillary clinton needs to come clean. people will go to jail over this. and laura ingraham, sebastian gorka, peter schweizer, next. o. you are my hammer out there. don't let these young guys see you fold. ♪ i'm only human ♪ i make mistakes get down! ♪ i'm only human ♪ it's all it takes ♪ don't put the blame on me thank you for looking after my son. we're brothers. we look after each other. thank you for your service. rated r. in theaters friday. you know win control?

(vo) go national. go like a pro. advil liqui-gels minis. our first concentrated pill that rushes powerful relief. a small new size that's fast, cause it's liquid. woohoo! you'll ask, what pain? new advil liqui-gels minis. >> don't you think it was a little bit important for congress to know back in january, when we were first briefed on this russian dossier that it was actually paid for by the opposition party? the people that made the russians successful are the democrats. the people that have continued this nonsense over and over and over again, looking for russians behind every tree. >> sean: avenue and is giving the thoughts on the fake news. devin nunes. only one of the scandals now surrounding the entire democratic party. hillary clinton, the media, the other of course being the uranium one deal, involving allegations of bribery and kickbacks and all sorts of other things. joining us now, he was the first person to expose the uranium one issue. the author of the number one "new york times" best seller, "clinton cash." peter schweizer. is it worse than what you do at the time? and as much as how actually knew about all these crimes committed by putin operatives inside the country? >> it is. yes, sean. it's very interesting to see what this witness will tell us about bribery. it's worth mentioning that it started in 2005 when the clintons helped this canadian billionaire help acquire uranium assets in kazakhstan. what was hillary clinton's role? we have testimony in the form of a deposition running the cause operation at the time. he said the prime minister in kazakhstan went to the u.s. senate and wanted to meet with hillary clinton and she refused to meet with him until the uranium concession was granted. we already have this case of pressure and after he got this concession, he gave $30 million to the clinton foundation. >> sean: through latvia or some other place? russia paying the clinton foundation? we know there's money laundering. >> that comes later. that's part of the current scandal that i think the witness will scan testify to. the point is we already have testimony from foreign government officials that there was pressure. we know he said his first donation ever was $30 million to the clinton foundation. it took off from there. when hillary clinton says in 2010 a couple years later that uranium one, i didn't know anything about it? she was intimately involved with this company over the last five years. we have testimony of foreign officials saying so. >> sean: let me bring in sebastian gorka. i meant to introduce you but i got ahead of myself, and i often do. dr. gorka, i want to look big picture here. i thought sarah sanders said this well and i say it a step further. everything that they tried to say about donald trump in his campaign, they are guilty of. i will add on steroids and human growth hormones. that they sold out america's security in this case. give me the big picture take away. because now the media has gone silent on russia, virtually silent. >> here's the big picture take away, sean. for more than a year, the fake news industrial complex and the democrats and hillary and podesta and ben rhodes have been slinging filth against the president and against his team. none of it has stock but in the last week, we've had an explosion of scandals that all are true and all go back to the dnc and to hillary. you have to do a massive service because it's you, sara, solomon. peter. that's it. it's just you. there is the uranium one deal. that's treasonous. we have to do that. the dossier which is about russian different generation dg used to slander trump and i'm certainly there's james comey using that disinformation and a trigger being used to investigate the president. and then there is fusion gps. how many stories are out there that are fake, that came from moscow and were peddled by fusion gps? four scandals in one week, sean. >> sean: the russians infiltrated our national security to corner the uranium market and they succeeded and they knew all the crimes that were committed. >> if this had happened in the 1950s, there would be people up on treason charges right now. the rosenbergs, okay? this is equivalent to what the rosenbergs did and those people got the chair. think about it. giving away nuclear capabilities to our enemies, that's what we are talking about. >> sean: last word. our friend, peter. >> it will be amazing and important for that information to be preserved by the fbi. this eyewitness needs to be protected. i think we're going to see a lot more coming out on clinton pay to play. i think gregg jarrett is right. major problems with the clintons when it comes to violating federal law. >> sean: i've got to tell you, the most unbelievable. if it was a novel, i would not believe it. it takes you that far. selling out national security. then literally using russian lies to influence the election. propagandizing the american people. you people are amazing. we thank you both. laura ingraham. i think she supposed to have a show here at fox. where is she? she's joining us next, straight ahead. and safe driver, that help them save on their car insurance. any questions? -yeah. -how do you go to the bathroom? great. any insurance-related questions? -mm-hmm. -do you have a girlfriend? uh, i'm actually focusing on my career right now, saving people nearly $600 when they switch, so... where's your belly button? [ sighs ] i've got to start booking better gigs. >> sean: as we continue, joining us now with reaction to all these scandals surrounding hillary clinton, the democrats, and those lives, yeah, russians impacting an election. ice assumed the year is 2020 and she will be the host of the fox news show "the ingram angle." >> monday! >> sean: i know you are number one on the new york best-sellers list. here's the problem, we are waiting. when do we get the "ingram angle?" >> in my office across the hall. we've got the staplers. just as soon as the stapler -- >> sean: throwing pencil darts at my head. thank you, very much. i just can't get over how they used russian lies to influence the election. and now everyone's gone silent on russia. we've been saying this is going to boomerang back. never mind they knew putin had infiltrated the country and everyone acknowledged -- the fbi, eric holder, the president probably had it. obama and his presidential daily briefings. i cannot believe the degree of hypocrisy, lying. they put this country in danger. >> going back to the '90s, i had a flashback of all the dirty politicking and campaigning, the use of private investigators the clintons do utilized back in the '90s. remember the guy carrie linzer? she was going through people's garbage. this is what they've always done. now they've taken it to an international intrigue degree involving the former soviet union. when you have a kremlin written dossier that is compiled by.christopher steele fellow, he puts it altogether. all the fake details are provided by russia. the idea that the highest level of the clinton campaign and perhaps even hillary herself did not know about it? did not know where it came from? that doesn't pass the straight face test. i guess we have to hear from mrs. clinton. i want a real interview with her. not a favorable journalist. she should come on and talk to a serious journalist about what she knew. >> sean: laura, that's never going to happen. >> well, she's afraid. >> sean: she's compromised. she was lashing out at me and fox news channel by name just earlier this week. i want to get your take on uranium one. under any circumstances would a smart person give vladimir putin 20% of our uranium? and he had russian operatives in the country. that was their goal to corner the market and they had an informant telling them about everything they are doing. bribery, kickbacks, extortion. how could this possibly happen? >> all of that that you just said, john. add the fact that we have this committee on foreign investments. the cfius board which includes the entire cabinet of the obama administration. obviously hillary sits on it and the secretary of state, they all sit on this committee. you could pull ten people right across the street at union station, the train station in washington, who don't know anything about politics but if you ask them "okay, we could approve or disapprove of russia getting 20% of our uranium that could be used for nuclear weapons, nuclear power, do you think that's a good idea?" 10 out of 10, maybe nine if you consider a drunk guy on the street -- >> sean: or liberal joe scarborough. he doesn't have a brain. what you have here -- they knew vladimir putin had infiltrated the country. had spies in the country. was doing illegal activities in the country. and they all approved it anyway. and then the money comes back. i don't understand -- i can at least understand liberal logic. there's nothing here that makes any sense except that they sold out the country, a massive appeasement mentality. and they are corrupt. >> it is corrupt to the core. perhaps other financial interests that we don't know, i think there's a lot that we just don't know. there are a lot of pieces to this puzzle, sean. that we still don't know. we did not have a justice department that really wanted to be transparent in the way they handled this case. a case that has many different aspects to it. they did not want an informant to testify to congress. there was no real congressional oversight in this deal. again, on its face is ludicrous we ever would have approved it. just on its face but the fact that they are a accusing trumpf all this? that's what truly makes americans tuned into this really sick. >> sean: congrats on your new book. are you showing up to work on monday or is this just a big joke? i'm never seen you sign a contract or show to work. >> may be the week after. i'm just doing a very zen approach to show. breathing exercises. >> sean: you are like o'reilly. while riley didn't show up for work but he had been working here for 20 years. >> [laughs] that's a low blow. i'm working hard across this office on my desk. >> sean: monday, we will see you monday. >> am i going to pass? >> sean: brian kilmeade will fulfill him because he is on every other hour of the day. "the ingraham angle starts on monday. we hope you will be watching. we will continue. but it can only last if you and i choose to act as people of character. forging character has been the pursuit of hillsdale college since 1844. ♪ people are fighting type 2 diabetes... with fitness... food... and the pill that starts with f. farxiga, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. lowering a1c by up to 1.2 points. do not take if allergic to farxiga. if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away if you have blood or red color in your urine or pain while you urinate. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast infections in women and men, serious urinary tract infections, low blood sugar, and kidney problems. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have signs of ketoacidosis which is serious and may lead to death. ask your doctor about the pill that starts with f and visit farxiga.com for savings. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. be light movie the dot come. take a look. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, i'm coming. >> you're drunk? >> yeah, can't pull the wool over your eyes. >> the basic tenet of the christianity is -- is there don't you dare tell me about the love and the compassion of your so-called god. >> what did do you think it does to the boys to take the death of their brother and use it to do your cash i val act? >> it pays the bills. >> daddy. >> clinically dead in the ambulance for four minutes. it's a miracle >> i saw davey. all i wanted to do was, i wanted to put my arms around him. i don't know what to do. >> you got the best scientific explanation, hasn't brought you any comfort. would you consider consulting a different source? >> i promise it will touch your heart, mind and i think your soul. we're very proud of the project. you can get information about

. and. you know what they're going to. have to have. since the autumn of two thousand and fifteen pound sand to cheat a global icon of resistance to tyranny has had the fate of myanmar in her hands thank you chris struggle against the military junta lasted thirty years she spent more than half of them under house arrest survived assassination attempts and was awarded the nobel peace prize for her they all stand out for their willingness to get involved in public matters and are fighting their very own at times contradictory battles. but they're doing it in the name of buddhism. don't convince that buddhism is developing with democracy. according to the buddha. there's a set of teaching in this that questions things and that's allowed to be questioning that. krissy and that is exactly what buddha talked. that was in a lot of that i don't want to and that's why we're convinced buddhism can only benefit from democracy i don't know cynical. people think that once they've cast their vote everything's done and dusted if they think they've done all they need to do but they're not exactly humble. they want this and they want that most of them don't even know what's happening in their own country are not so bad so far the government hasn't been able to do much for our economy but it hasn't even told us why that is am i right. what about our dignity is that a sign of intelligence. the. preparing the people of myanmar for a new democratic era that's how ottavi to wants to support the woman who led the country to freedom. i prayed very much for and it worked. i respect and trust. if i had to i'd be willing to die for. the monks have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to society and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the burmese people. and at times they've had to pay a high price. september two thousand for a saw in my view the revolution of two thousand and seven was the final blow. many blows were needed over the years to fell they said big train. after this last one the tree of the dictatorship came falling down. or you're nothing but a lot. in two thousand and eleven man mark took the first tentative steps towards becoming a free market economy and a consumer society but half a century of terror and economic isolation had turned the country that was once the richest in the region into one of the poorest in the world the monks are trying to help people to get ahead. unload everything take it to the house who taught peter is held into his activism isn't limited to his bellicose sermons to compensate for the lack of health care in two thousand and ten he helped set up a foundation that aims to provide easier access to medical treatment. if it were possible we'd prefer to just follow our calling as monks to be honest we've all had enough of all this but it's our tradition that's a project can only be successful if the monks get involved. so we're forced into this work and we also view it as our to look after the people because we depend on them to know they feed us and pay for. with. the symbiotic relationship is a fundamental factor in burmese society the monks guide the people by providing them with a religious education while the people pay for their maintenance. and the alms ritual that takes place in the streets of man mark every morning is a reminder of this connection between the population and the monks. the monks are freed from material needs and can dedicate their studies wholly to spreading buddhist teachings thanks. for the children of the poorest families entering a monastic school is often the only way of climbing the social ladder they then continue their training at the buddhist universities while some monks are happy to lead a modest life in a monastery others become influential people in burma society the so-called venerable ones. like the monks in thailand cambodia and laos the bernese monks practice theravada buddhism which is much more traditional than the zen buddhism known in the west. in contrast to the democratic. who wore leg isn't politically active instead he focuses on spreading buddhism to this and he has settled in a rural area far from the towns and cities where the majority of the bore me population still leads an isolated poverty stricken life. and. this place in the south of rockin state is home to many chen one of a hundred and thirty five ethnic minorities recognized by the burmese constitution . the chin who have suffered persecution and harassment from the dictatorship in the past have a completely different language and culture to those of my own mars largest ethnic group the bomber. the young monk settled here because of the chins of religion they are mainly christian and is a missionary of the buddhist monks living here are just like the old christian missionaries and the spearhead of an end expansion plan that has been supported by the military government since the ninety's. a moment ago lot of them are. when i came here the villagers gave me a dog called rice to eat it was almost inevitable they didn't visit me so i was alone most of the time. i thought a lot about the purpose of my mission at that time. all i had left in my loneliness was meditation and i started thinking about the strategy i could use to get people to the monastery. you know where. then i had an idea that i could go to the city and buy sweets to give to the children in the village. after that more and more parents and other people came to the monastery. that's how i was able to win the villages over and convert them. converting people is a big challenge for the monks in this village eighty percent of the residents are catholics or baptists to win them over the monks offer what's most sorely lacking here access to education. in these remote areas most families don't have the money to send their children to school. and that's why i turn to the free religious schools in mandalay and rangoon so the children can attend a secondary school. but i don't you know. i mean that there are going to. hear from. in these villages where everything is lacking the monks sometimes do a lot but they always expect something in return this is the real aim of their mission the comprehensive spread of buddhism in all its fullness. moneer spreading buddhism in a christian region is a long process that's based largely on symbols that's why the construction of pagodas monasteries and other religious sites is the missionaries most important work but winning the people's hearts and minds is much harder. who are lay is one of the few monks in the region who is fluent in chin. close links with the villagers forms the basis of his mission strategy. over the years all war lay has found the place he had hoped for in the chin villages of rockin state. he doesn't just have a pub goda a monastic school and several places of worship. he has also managed to send seven hundred fifty children to religious schools in the cities. who were lay works for the department for the promotion and propagation of such santa all burmese monks are members of this institution which was founded in the early ninety's. it comes under the auspices of the ministry of religious affairs and culture and is based in rangoon or lays master the venerable mara is its president he runs six hundred missions throughout the country. on the twenty seventh of march we organize a sermon and for the conversion to buddhism during which donations for an order nation room were collected in the village of. well you have to look after them well otherwise they'll convert to buddhism today but will become christians again in three days' time. go on down low john a boy. but the converted the conversion ceremonies are often just the at. we started in two thousand and eleven and the converts didn't revert to christianity the people on the mountain and border regions will convert to get something but as soon as we don't have anything left to give them they'll switch religions again. we give them an education to promote our religion it's good to give them an education whether they convert or not education can improve their thinking and their conduct in some places where the schools only teach in chinese or quranic language they can learn bermejo and now monastic scholars. official language they need to know if. you can say that's our missions only benefit the buddhist religion and. they also promote peace and development in these regions. if buddhism could reach the hearts of people there would be no war. everyone would live in peace. buddhism as a bringer of peace in the eyes of the monks there's no doubt about it but the army has a very different again it sees the buddhist missionary zeal as an effective tool to expand burma is rule over the country's many ethnic minorities. that's why the army started funding this missionary work in the early ninety's it wants to push forward with burma if occasion which it wants to use to consolidate its power over the minorities. one hundred thirty five officially recognized ethnic groups with around one hundred languages and dialects were arbitrarily grouped together as one country . maher is a mix of peoples alongside the largest ethnic group the bomb our people. are is home to the shan the current the chin the rock and a large number of others particularly in the border regions. ever since its independence in one thousand nine hundred forty eight the republic of the union of myanmar has seemed an impossible undertaking. g.'s father general and son a national hero in the war for independence didn't live to see that he was assassinated . after that the country went through a series of rebellions and guerrilla wars that were put down with increasing bloodshed. and you're going to. be what you are. the rise of social networks has given new war lays missionary work a new dimension he writes about the events he's hosting and has no trouble finding donors who are willing to pay for a new buddha statues and monasteries burma for cation is progressing ever more rapidly in the south of rockin state but a few dozen kilometers further north it's long ground to a standstill. these mountains hide an entire region that has been sealed off by the army it's a no go zone for foreigners around a million muslims in this region bordering bangladesh a currently facing unparalleled persecution. the rowan jo was formerly a berm maize ethnic group but are now stateless having been struck off the list of ethnic groups by law in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. even though they have lived in rocking for centuries they're now seen as illegal immigrants from bangladesh. their situation abruptly worsened in two thousand and twelve when buddhists in the state attacked them after monks had spread false rumors about rapes on social media. the situation quickly escalated their rowing joe were driven out of the towns and their villages were burned down this was the start of a mass exodus to neighboring countries a tragedy for the rowing just. nationalist organizations a buddhist monks have been behind these events these openly anti muslim movements have played a big part in the violence it's they who have been fueling the hatred especially via social media since then buddhist nationalism has played a central role in manaus political life. to cite tara is the founder of a particularly active group of monks. our organizations called the patriotic myanma monks union our president is not dharma and i. and the secretary. michel you know we founded this organization to prevent muslims from invading our country. and forcing their religion upon us. you know. it was an awful question. i am. i'm scared of the threat to the buddhist religion and our culture. since other religions have been coming into our country through immigration we've been unable to preserve our culture and long. ago that you know we're losing our identity and how to join and we're doing you know. i want to protect our culture you know in my indian language sort of only. although it only consists of around one hundred activists who to side tires group plays an important role in burma's nationalism particularly thanks to spectacular events that play effectively in the media. with. the with the with. the with. the woman. with the activists monks are demonstrating in the center of rangoon against a ruling judge who may call bengalis in myanmar the role into are denied the right to give themselves a name they're even denied classification as an ethnic group they are the target of extreme hatred. the. lawyer les want to have parts of rocking out for themselves to found a role in just state the problem. as soon as they've got their hands on and. they'll want the whole country papers you painted out governors you know i know you're going to be my a little the. the nationalist groups prejudices meet little resistance among the burmese population fear of migrants and radical islamism has merged with an older islamophobia deeply rooted in the minds of non muslim burmese people the way the. we demonstrate peacefully we don't want to break the law please remain peaceful illegal immigration remains illegal not solo. this week one of our own sons who cheese ministers dared to use the phrase muslims of rockiness in a speech although he did not explicitly mention the rowing his words implicitly suggested that they were an ethnic and religious group this is a great affront to the nationalist monks. who are here. now. according to a new report by the un high commissioner for human rights the burma's army is pursuing a policy of systematic murder torture and rape. several n.g.o.s are using the term genocide. mian maher is facing severe criticism from many governments and the international community as a whole. all the more so since sound suchi hasn't as yet said or done anything to defend their own engine. eleven nobel laureates have written an open letter to the un security council voicing their concerns. that quite significant all the problems in the country have been caused by the military . but the responsibilities been laid at the current governments. the omni is responsible for crime in the civil wars and the condition of the muslim is never clear he said never the less people blame i'm son chinese government. but our own son to chief is really the country's head of state only in name according to the constitution she herself had a hand in writing the military has held on to some of its power it still has a quarter of all seats in parliament and the important interior and defense ministers are also army officers so the military alone is actually making all the decisions about how to proceed in iraq in. our own songs to choose hands tied or is she second feis in the muslims as part of an arrangement with the generals in exchange for her new democracy it's hard to say . but even if she wanted to protect the row injure she'd still have to confront the nationalist monks she's stuck between the generals and religious extremists like to cite. yahoo what. the. yard. since two thousand and twelve we funded a position that is contrary to our own sons who cheese. i want to go the law was passed to protect race and religion and that was necessary because muslims reproduce quickly. the thirty three and i'll be members of parliament voted against it and on sons who didn't show up in the parliament at all that day allegedly because she was sick. the protection of race and religion that's the purpose of the two thousand and fifteen law limiting interreligious marriages and targeting the country's five percent muslim population by banning polygamy it was a great political victory for radical activists such as the patriotic me and ma monks union shortly before the election of. protecting race and religion isn't just a legal matter me and my buddhist monks missionary work is also based on this formula but its meaning is controversial because the berm is word for a race can also mean nation for most monks protecting race means something more like protecting the country and its culture. but the nationalists are all about racism or racism they proclaimed loudly. that. a much more powerful group of extremists have managed to make the issue of national identity the subject of public debate across the country. the mob is the most influential organization of nationalist monks in myanmar. today who to cite ta has been invited to speak in honor of the fourth anniversary of the group's founding. the. the rapid growth of the mob was generously supported by the military junta even though cheese victory weaken the organization a little it's populism and islamophobia are spreading more with every meeting. i would like to greet all the venerable individuals who've come to celebrate the fourth anniversary of my data here in my to look i have just three words for you ma . ma means protection of race. means protection of religion. and. means protection of the buddhist teachings. of the the. you know the. the we've been protecting race and religion for four years now. the bearded ones with their greedy and dark skins invaded our country through the back door and i right yes at the same time there are people who demand that we live in peace with them. what are we to do with these nice people should we just send them to iraq even should we send them there with the promoters. yes that's what we should to. we're accused of sowing hatred instead of practicing all religion for peace but we're just protecting ourselves against the hatred that's flooding our country where not the one spreading hatred. and only out. of. we monks the sons of. we don't want conflicts not just us but old regular buddhists have to follow the five basic tenets of buddhism. but nobody can control their anger. if you're not angry you can control yourself but as the buddha says when we're angry we become blind and conned control ourselves anymore. well that means we monks kaante each that you must kill any more even though the buddha said it's a sin. and that. i was a little. gandhi came from india he really respected human rights onto men rights respected here too they are. but what happened to gandy he defended human rights out of his deepest conviction and then he broke up india as a result wasn't it so it was. who has been elected the new president of the united states does he defend human rights or the national interest. a national interest. the national interest counts. with protecting ourselves against the decline of our race through our way of protecting ourselves against the decline of buddhist teachings where we're protecting ourselves against the decline of our religion. were. thank. you. laura. but in my view my bow ties becoming increasingly dangerous when i'm in rural regions where the people ask me if a country will become muslim move fung sun suchi gains power they are asking is it true that make up a large percentage of the government of course it's not true but the river of population believes these claims who's to blame it. put these ideas in their heads that he said it. was not my most important weapon is what the buddha taught but on alone and them many if i contradict them i refer to buddhist texts you wouldn't talk just love and their preaching hate these days the world is a village the people lost themselves whether this is still a real buddhism if the other countries see as like this how can we spread our religion for help or talking on. the. the. today is a day of mourning for. his old master is dead and the buddhists of mandalay are paying their last respects before he's cremated. he was a highly respected monk and a wise man who has left behind a deeply split in deeply worried monastic community. all the monks know the world has changed and the changes triggered by the opening up in the country scare them. and so some of the monks like so many people around the world are searching for salvation in isolationism and a rejection of everything and everyone they don't know. but in myanmar the influence of these groups is so great that the hatred they're spreading threatens it's still very fragile democracy. are people who fear that they are born in the wrong body and this is what i'm going to talk about. in good shape thirty minutes on d w. because that when they start to divide the country i do it's still where they start to divide the language your blood will flow over to the. ninety nine days of the soviet union is breaking part. of. the members of the russian federation would have to find their own way politically and economically. so it was an incredibly difficult task not misadventure because democracy was a lie but the elections were a fraud because privatization was robbery just because instead of cultivating its culture its words and language it brought forth a rookie holes of nationalism. the soviet union's heritage where does russia stand

say. isn't it time for good news go out africa people and projects that are changing no one fireman for the better it's up to us to make a difference he could go to benghazi d. w. . bush doesn't germany is a strong country. that we have achieved so much we can do this and if something hinders us we must overcome it. going where it's uncomfortable global news that matters w made for mines. consumption of any. water and decrease the amount of waste and. the target is to keep as much water as possible on the property and to have infiltrate right here so to not lose it to the river and then not to lose it to the ocean. because there's a shortage of sweet water we need to keep that within our system we need to keep it on the island we need to retain it push it into the ground and use it here where we need it most and right here what you can see is that there's a lot of water coming down from the slide to push the people that are coming down in the tubes down the slide with a lot of velocity and obviously that means that a lot of water has to come in to this calling here and as that water fills it up continuously it goes into these drain pipes here and this drains into a catchment and so what we we're doing is we're directing that overflow could actively tackle so we came up with as you go talk to. as a set of solutions for hotels resorts players in the tourism industry to tackle those challenges were running around studying properties and talking to people and continue to looking at the problem and we had this moment where the o.t.s. makes complete sense so we're saving the money and then they're paying us for the savings what would you really think about the situation in bahrain is comparable to all the just nations in the world well certainly i mean if we start looking at tourism destinations in asia or all over the world and i mean we can talk about florida we can talk about california we can talk about thailand bangkok with all of these cities and destinations where tourism goes they have a lot of people consuming a finite resource and the biggest problem is that there's not enough water to feed all these people and so what we see in these big cities is there is water shortages there's land substance and salt water intrusion that's what we have in many coastal and it's only. those women on the road all of us awful to me me. me and. the bankers i'm concerned. burn we all. i think it's we showed. you in the film the men and. then beyond you in the lead off ball. i remember my grandma was coming from the mountain to get the water from

good would you want to do it before the long. prison you're going to vote. does make a mess i'd studied this total productive. up to food to flushing some coffee. it's a basic human right to have access to water and what we're seeing with privatization of water resources is that we're losing that access to this basic human right and is creating additional issues visual stresses on the environment and on society. we see the effects of the system taking place it's just whole the system is designed today that. it's kind of optimizing for the return of the vest and not carrying a bald substandard bill to you know all the things how could we actually. expect it to change without having the system to be changed i think like a reason we've. followed our passes is working with properties in the like we said before we can design systems into the properties so that they create a surplus and that surplus can be shared with the community so let's not just look at creating surpluses in the form of money let's look at creating surpluses in the form of water. and maybe you could also add on the local scale there needs to be more democracy which kind of close the loop and saying that we have a beautiful model in bali. where we have the traditional. where we have a traditional democracy. because the water irrigation systems that we have in bali that distributes water for the rice fields it's organized in a very democratic way that's connected through culture and religion into the villages. it was created about a thousand years ago and it is really the reason why bali has prospered and is what it is today. who'll. listen to. him. in a way there needs to be a merging of the principles of socialism and principles of democracy. to maintain resources because it's something for the people belonging to the people and the wealth created from those resources to be used for the people. i go to. africa all countries in the south pacific and i go through all three thailand for. china i think it's all together for people that i have. it we do our. own finding what learn to manage what. learn to protect the. rebirth or learn how to recycle water probably any energy that we have any idea that we have in order to sell what we have there will be worthwhile project. this is the hydraulic ram farm to import. which is making this bomb working. which is here again with up and down and this. here the bunk of it is to create the water hammer so once you are flooded the water into the palm and then that would drag this. to sound like this which is creating what we call the water hammer and the higher and higher then bringing the water in one way valve and then. when they compress by the water and then the air is pushing it back in here but this while here will not allow it to go back so the only way for the war that the go is through this outlet and go up to the top. is considered. for music. and this is this in this from. on i need to design a loop in the past. couple of. days of. this. year so i mentioned the guns toy guns first in the end and last moments taking one hundred. or so on but the finding soon is as. i'm for the take this thing is good. but as it goes on for tyler has been lost to put going to doff of one of the. on ice is. not so innocent and if you got. into this business in the shuffle i did a google. we're. learning the words in the boat in bali and this is a co-working space it's one of its values first co-working space also the biggest court in space and probably one of the most well known co-working spaces in the world because all you got started here is what we actually. basically went through our breakout stage here for a week before we had an office and we only had an idea of this is one of the places where we need to work right here you know right here this table what you got thing is that is that hard to start a start up here in indonesia very. the legal framework for startups here doesn't really exist it's very difficult to get through the legal requirements to set up a company nisha. as a foreigner the only way to do it is a big f.b.i. company a big foreign direct investment company and you require a large start up capital and you've got to show that to the government and we've gone through the legal notions of setting up a limited and you know having an accounting system and doing all that ministration doing everything by an asian law. and for us being a start up company here that already have gone through the first steps it's a great go to place where we can meet again with people and also find new inspiring ideas and also talent that can help us you know get to the next stage is. everything is water. the world is water food systems water. there is no life without water. so it matters to all of us. i think our overall ignorance is. the core of the problem. raising awareness and starting to work towards solutions and start investing our time to take care of water is a resources where the solution. we're not going to solve the world's water problem but we've chosen our battle here in bali we we know what the problem is and and we're working on it you know every day

Transcripts For DW DocFilm - Myanmar - The Power Of The Monks 20171103 05:15:00

ladies and gentlemen are venerable speaker has arrived let's listen to his words. and. the organizers appreciate his words even more than his commitment to. he is unusually outspoken for among. he's a member that is in our country you know the monks have long had a lot of influence on the people. play the most important part and most changes in the country. indeed when like the peepholes teaches. that. the. earth. don't make trouble now. we monks i don't convince that buddhism is developing with democracy. according to the buddha. there's a set of teaching in this that questions things and that's allowed to be a question that. you might receive and that is exactly what buddha taught to get done that was in a lot of that i don't want to and that's why we're convinced buddhism can only benefit from democracy i don't he he's well cynical. people think that once they've cast their vote everything's done and dusted if they think they've done all they need to do but they're not exactly humble. they want this and they want that most of them don't even know what's happening in their own country are not so bad so far the government hasn't been able to do much for our economy but it hasn't even told us why that is am i right. what about our dignity is that a sign of intelligence. with. preparing the people of myanmar for a new democratic era that's how to wants to support the woman who led the country to freedom. but i prayed very much for her and it worked. i respect and trust her. if i had to i'd be willing to die for her. the monks have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to society and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the burmese people. and at times they've had to pay a high price. for. september two thousand for a saw in my view the revolution of two thousand and seven was the final blow. many blows were needed over the years to sell this big trade. after this last one the tree of the dictatorship came falling down. or you know. in two thousand and eleven million mark took the first tentative steps towards becoming a free market economy and a consumer society but half a century of terror and economic isolation had turned the country that was once the richest in the region into one of the poorest in the world the monks are trying to help people to get ahead. unload everything take it to the house who taught peter is helping to his activism isn't limited to his bellicose sermons to compensate for the lack of health care in two thousand and ten he helped set up a foundation that aims to provide easier access to medical treatment. if it were possible we'd prefer to just follow our calling as monks to be honest we've all had enough of all this but it's our tradition that's a project can only be successful if the monks get involved. so we're forced into this work and we also view it as r g o t to look after the people because we depend on them to know they feed us and pay for. with. the symbiotic relationship is a fundamental factor in burmese society the monks guide the people by providing them with a religious education while the people pay for their maintenance. and the alms ritual that takes place in the streets of man mark every morning is a reminder of this connection between the population and the monks. the monks are freed from material needs and can dedicate their studies wholly to spreading buddhist teachings thanks. for the children of the poorest families entering a monastic school is often the only way of climbing the social ladder they then continue their training at the buddhist universities while some monks are happy to lead a modest life in a monastery others become influential people in burma society the so-called venerable ones. like the monks in thailand cambodia and laos the bernese monks practice theravada buddhism which is much more traditional than the zen buddhism known in the west. in contrast to the democratic. who were late isn't politically active instead he focuses on spreading buddhism to this and he has settled in a rural area far from the towns and cities where the majority of the bormio population still leads an isolated poverty stricken life and. this place in the south of rockin state is home to many chine one of a hundred and thirty five ethnic minorities recognized by the burmese constitution . the chin who have suffered persecution and harassment from the dictatorship in the past have a completely different language and culture to those of my own mars largest ethnic group the bomber. the young monk settled here because of the change of religion they are mainly christian and is a missionary of the buddhist monks living here are just like the old christian missionaries and the spearhead of an ambitious expansion plan that has been supported by the military government since the ninety's. and all going to go not are going to come up. when i came here the villages gave me a dog called rice to eat it was almost an animal. they didn't visit me so i was alone most of the time. i thought a lot about the purpose of my mission at that time. all i had left in my learning this was meditation and i started thinking about the strategy i could use to get people to the monastery and. then you know. then i had an idea that i could go to the city and buy sweets to give to the children in the village and. after that more and more parents and other people came to the monastery. that's how i was able to win the villages over and convert them. and if they're going to do you know. converting people is a big challenge for the monks in this village eighty percent of the residents are catholics or baptists to win them over the monks offer what's most sorely lacking here access to education. he went on and on. in these remote areas most families don't have the money to send their children to school and. that's why i turn to the free religious schools in mandalay and rangoon so the children can attend a secondary school. but i don't you know. i mean you're going to. hear from. in these villages where everything is lacking the monks sometimes do a lot but they always expect something in return this is the real aim of their mission the comprehensive spread of buddhism in all its fullness. spreading buddhism in a christian region is a long process that's based largely on symbols that's why the construction of pagodas monasteries and other religious sites is the missionaries most important work but winning the people's hearts and minds is much harder. who are lay is one of the few monks in the region who's fluent in chin. close links with the villagers forms the basis of his mission strategy. over the years the war lay has found the place he had hoped for in the chin villages of rockin state. he doesn't just have a goda a monastic school and several places of worship. he has also managed to send seven hundred fifty children to religious schools in the cities. who were lay works for the department for the promotion and propagation of society all burmese monks are members of this institution which was founded in the early ninety's. it comes under the auspices of the ministry of religious affairs and culture and is based in rangoon or leis master the venerable mara is its president he runs six hundred missions throughout the country. on the twenty seventh of march we organize a ceremony for the conversion to buddhism during which donations for an order nation room were collected in the village of. well you have to look after them well otherwise they'll convert to buddhism today but we'll become christians again in three days' time. johnny boy. but the converted the conversion ceremonies are often just the. we started in two thousand and eleven and the converts didn't revert to christianity the people on the mountain and border regions will convert to get something but as soon as we don't have anything left to give them they'll switch religions again. we give them an education to promote our religion it's good to give them an education whether they convert or not education can improve their thinking and their conduct in some places where the schools only teach in chinese or quranic language they can learn bermejo and now monastic scholars. official language they need to know if. you can say that's our missions only benefit the buddhist religion and. they also promote peace and development in these regions. if buddhism could reach the hearts of people there would be no war. everyone would live in peace. buddhism as a bringer of peace in the eyes of the monks there's no doubt about it but the army has a very different game it sees the buddhist missionary zeal as an effective tool to expand burma is rule over the country's many ethnic minorities. that's why the army started funding this missionary work in the early ninety's it wants to push forward with burma if occasion which it wants to use to consolidate its power over the minorities. one hundred thirty five officially recognized ethnic groups with around one hundred languages and dialects were arbitrarily grouped together as one country . maher is a mix of peoples alongside the largest ethnic group the bomb are people in mar is home to the shan the current the chin the rock and a large number of others particularly in the border regions. ever since its independence in one thousand nine hundred forty eight the republic of the union of myanmar has seemed an impossible undertaking. to g.'s father general and son a national hero in the war for independence didn't live to see that he was assassinated . after that the country went through a series of rebellions and guerrilla wars that were put down with increasing bloodshed. and you're going to. see that you know. the rise of social networks has given new war lays missionary work a new dimension he writes about the events he's hosting and has no trouble finding donors who are willing to pay for a new buddha statues and monasteries burm if occasion is progressing ever more rapidly in the south of rockin state but a few dozen kilometers further north it's long ground to a standstill. thanks these mountains hide an entire region that has been sealed off by the army it's a no go zone for foreigners around a million muslims in this region bordering bangladesh a currently facing unparalleled persecution. the rowan jo was formerly a berm maize ethnic group but are now stateless having been struck off the list of ethnic groups by law in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. even though they have lived in rocking for centuries they are now seen as illegal immigrants from bangladesh. their situation abruptly worsened in two thousand and twelve when buddhists in the state attacked them after monks had spread false rumors about rapes on social media. the situation quickly escalated their rowing joe were driven out of the towns and their villages were burned down this was the start of a mass exodus to neighboring countries a tragedy for the rowing just. nationalist organizations a buddhist monks have been behind these events these openly anti muslim movements have played a big part in the violence it's they who have been fueling the hatred especially via social media since then buddhist nationalism has played a central role in manaus political life or to side tara is the founder of a particularly active group of monks. our organizations called the patriotic myanmar monks union our president is myanmar dharma and r i u two sides and the secretary. mentioned you know we founded this organization to prevent muslims from invading our country. and forcing their religion upon us. and i will. do it was an awful. lot of i know. i am. i'm scared of the threat to the buddhist religion and our culture. since other religions have been coming into our country through immigration we've been unable to preserve our culture and you know long. ago that you know we're losing our identity to join and we're doing you know. i want to protect our culture you know in my indian language sort of only as. although it only consists of around one hundred activists to cite tires group plays an important role in burma is nationalism particularly thanks to spectacular events that play effectively in the media. the. with. the with the with. the with. the woman. with the activists monks are demonstrating in the center of rangoon against a ruling whom they call bengalis in myanmar their role into are denied the right to give themselves a name they're even denied classification as an ethnic group they are the target of extreme hatred. boy young lady want to have parts of rock enough for themselves to found a role in just state the problem. as soon as they've got their hands on and. they'll want the whole country pages you painted it out governor as you know i know you're going to be my a little the. the nationalist groups prejudices me too little resistance among the burmese population fear of migrants and radical islamism has merged with an older islamophobia deeply rooted in the minds of non muslim burmese people the way the. really not. going to. sit here we demonstrate peacefully we don't want to break the law please remain peaceful illegal immigration remains illegal not solo. this week one of our own sons who cheese ministers dared to use the phrase muslims of brocchini in a speech. although he did not explicitly mention the row injure his words implicitly suggested that they were an ethnic and religious group this is a great affront to the nationalist monks. according to a new report by the un high commissioner for human rights the bernese army is pursuing a policy of systematic murder torture and rape. several n.g.o.s are using the term genocide. me and maher is facing severe criticism from many governments and the international community as a whole. all the more so since sound suchi hasn't as yet said or done anything to defend their own engine eleven nobel laureates have written an open letter to the un security council voicing their concerns. that when a significant all the problems in the country have been caused by the military. but the responsibility has been laid at the current governments to. the me is responsible for crime in the civil wars and the condition of the muslim is. never the less people blame i'm sun cheese government. but our own song to cheese is really the country's head of state only in name according to the constitution she herself had a hand in writing the military has held on to some of its power it still has a quarter of all seats in parliament and the important interior and defense ministers are also army officers so the military alone is actually making all the decisions about how to proceed in iraq in. our own sons to cheese hands tied or if she sacrificed in the muslims as part of an arrangement with the generals in exchange for her new democracy it's hard to say. but even if she wanted to protect the row injure she'd still have to confront the nationalist monks she's stuck between the generals and religious extremists like to cite. yon. yeah yeah. yeah. since two thousand and twelve we funded a position that is contrary to our own sons who cheese. a while ago the law was passed to protect race and religion and that was necessary because muslims reproduce quickly. the thirty three and now d. members of parliament voted against it and on sons who didn't show up in parliament at all that day allegedly because she was sick. the protection of race and religion that's the purpose of the two thousand and fifteen law limiting interreligious marriages and targeting the country's five percent muslim population by banning polygamy it was a great political victory for radical activists such as the patriotic me and ma monks union shortly before the election of. protecting race and religion isn't just a legal matter me in my eyes buddhist monks missionary work is also based on this formula but its meaning is controversial because the bernese word for race can also mean nation for most monks protecting race means something more like protecting the country and its culture. but the nationalists are all about racism a racism they proclaimed loudly. that. a much more powerful group of extremists have managed to make the issue of national identity the subject of public debate across the country. the mob is the most influential organization of nationalist monks in myanmar. today who to cite ta has been invited to speak in honor of the fourth anniversary of the group's founder and. the rapid growth of the mob was generously supported by the military junta even though cheese victory weaken the organization a little it's populism and islamophobia are spreading more with every meeting. i would like to greet all the venerable individuals who've come to celebrate the fourth anniversary of my data here in my to look i have just three words for you ma . ma means protection of race. means protection of religion and ta means protection of the buddhist teachings. the the. new the. the we've been protecting race and religion for four years now. the bearded ones with their greedy eyes and dark skins invaded our country through the back door and i right yes. at the same time there are people who demand that we live in peace with them but what are we to do with these nice people should we just send them to our kin should we send them there with the promoters. yes that's what we should do. we're accused of sowing hatred instead of practicing all religion for peace but we're just protecting ourselves against the hatred that's flooding our country where not the one spreading hatred. and only alternative. we monks the sons of. we don't want conflicts not just us but old regular buddhists have to follow the five basic tenets of buddhism. but nobody can control their anger. if you're not angry you can control yourself but as the buddha says when where and great we become blind and conned control ourselves anymore. well that means we monks khan teach that you must not kill anymore even though the buddha said it's a sin. and that they are going to go to that area. like gandhi came from india he really respected human rights onto men rights respected here too they are. but what happened to gandhi he defended human rights out of his deepest conviction and then he broke up india as a result wasn't it so it was. who has been elected the new president of the united states does he defend human rights or the national interest. the national interest. the national interest counts. with protecting ourselves against the decline of our race through our way of protecting ourselves against the decline of buddhist teachings where we're protecting ourselves against the decline of our religion. were. thank. you. george. but i don't know in my view about size becoming increasingly dangerous when i'm in rural regions where the people if a country will become muslim move fung santucci gains power they are asking is it true that colors make up a large percentage of the government of course it's not true but the river of population believes these claims who's to blame it on top who put these ideas in their heads that he said it. was a my most important weapon is what the buddha taught but on alone and then many if i contradict them i refer to buddhist texts he wouldn't talk his love and their preaching hate and these days the world is a village the people lost themselves whether they sister real buddhism if the other countries see as like this how can we spread our religion i hope we don't have you on. the. the. today is a day of mourning for. his old masters dead. and the buddhists of mandalay are paying their last respects before he's cremated. he was a highly respected monk and a wise man who has left behind and deeply split in deeply worried monastic community. all the monks know the world has changed and the changes triggered by the opening up of the country scare them. and so some of the monks like so many people around the world are searching for salvation in isolationism and a rejection of everything and everyone they don't know. but in myanmar the influence of these groups is so great that the hatred they're spreading threatens its still very fragile democracy. european union in brussels we have twenty eight different realities and so i think people are really looking for any journalist they can trust for them to make sense of. pride in his next office and i work at the w. . health. and here it's too long. solidarity. they fall by the wayside when the gap between rich and poor grows. like in an equal societies. the divide starting november fifteenth on d w.
