KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 9am March 16, 2017

Blocked right now. Westbound direction might be taking a long time. It is time to dance. We wont say who we picked we will talk about it later but i want to ask the viewers we are having a problem with the wager send us a tweet who you think will win the bracket. No money. The proposed budget released by President Trump contains pay cuts to domestic programs while boosting defense spending democrats say the president has missed the mark with his budget priority. The strength depends on our vitality of our communities, all of which are undermined by the president budget. The House Minority leader says the countrys strength depends on more than just military might. Leigh martinez joins us with more on the proposed budget. The white house budget chief says trump is keeping his Campaign Promises with the budget. But his promise of a border wall he is cutting foreign aid the Environmental Protection agency and several domestic programs. The president plans and 54 billion boost in the military the largest since president Ronald Reagans pentagon bill in the 80s the funding increase is to fight isis reverse army reductions and build navy ships, during the Campaign Trump repeatedly said mexico would pay for the border wall. But that does not look like the case, instead us taxpayers will pay for it the border wall will get an immediate 1. 4 billion and another 2. 6 billion in 2018. The biggest cut is at the epa losing 31 of the budget meaning 3000 workers will lose their jobs. The clean powerpack Powerplant Program will also be eliminated. Programs that have been congressional favorites are also getting cut like medical research, help for Homeless Veterans and Community Development grants. This is 1 4 of the full budget which will come out in may, trump says he will not raise taxes. Today was supposed to be the first day of the travel ban but two federal judges are blocking it. That is right. The two federal judges are using trumps words and the words of his advisors against him and a ruling by a federal judge and why put a temporary restraining order on it and this morning a judge in maryland blocked the ban. The travel ban would have blocked traveling to the us by six muslim majority countries. Iraq is now off the new list, the judge has rejected the claims that the revised travel ban is about National Security not discrimination, the judge site trumps own words during his campaign and his tv interviews for wanting the ban on muslims. He did not take the news well, in his own words, he said they may come back to hurt his order by saying it wasnt much different than the first that was turned down. They already blocked. It was a watered down version of the first order. The white house will likely appeal here in the bay area there will be a protest against the new muslim ban despite the block it is organized by the resource center, the protest will be held at 4 00 pm at the San Francisco federal building. All right, joining us on the phone we will be discussing the topic more, good morning. Good morning. Thank you for taking the time you are a professor at uc hastings so heres donald trump and the administration they rewrite the ban open to survive legal scrutiny but a federal judge has stopped it. Are you surprised at all . Talking about what Leigh Martinez just mentioned, trump telling Anderson Cooper about his personal thoughts, this is last year before he even became president. Im not surprised, challenging this was more difficult than challenging the previous version, the previous version had religious discrimination within it to the words of the order. The new order made a few changes removing the explicit language and also creating a provision that allows them to exempt certain people from the ban. The white house try to rely on the provisions to say this is a new thing it is not as discriminatory the hawaii court and Maryland Court did not buy it and as you say they are using language by trump and language from Rudolph Giuliani to show that it is essentially the same antimuslim thing. They are trying to answer the word of intent right . Exactly, for them to succeed the challenge says this is religious discrimination they have to prove there is a religious discrimination intent behind the ruling. Now that he has said these things and his advisers said these things there is no way to unring the bell is it . He cant say thats not what i meant are we done here . The government try to pull Something Interesting, they tried to claim you couldnt use his words before he was a public official, of course you cant divorce what he said from the campaign compared to what he is saying now, you cant ignore what summary said before they were a public servant. He said that last night. That is also true, it will be very difficult, one of the problems is that on one hand he is trying to communicate to his supporters that essentially he is following up with promises to ban muslims on the other hand going to the court to say this is not a religiously motivated ban. That is problematic the courts did not buy it. If you are a lawyer with the trump administration, how do you change the revised ban into something palatable for the court . That is a tough question to ask, i am not nor will i be in the trump administration. That is because you cant really create a ban like this. There is no way to word it so that it sticks to safety no mention of religion, as a professor in your position there is no way you can think of making this ban proof . Here is the thing, if there was any approval to address people that specifically posed a risk of safety to the us, that would be reasonable, especially in maryland. However, given the way that they are targeting people from these countries, there is no correlation between coming from these countries and posing a heightened risk to us security. So, targeting these countries in particular is not something that will withstand the test. If you seriously consider security you will have to do it a different way. You wouldnt ask people based on the country. That says a lot about the countries checks and balances . This is one lesson to learn Something Interesting is how important it is to have an independent judiciary to follow up on the claims and see if the government is doing what it is supposed to do. Okay, thank you again for taking the time to join us on the phone this morning. Return to the question of the day we have been asking do you agree with the travel ban . Yes, no, or maybe . We have been asking you on twitter and facebook looking at our poll numbers and the vast majority of you, 72 say no when asked if you agree almost 20 say yes, fewer than 10 say parts of it, your comments are welcome, diane tweets absolutely 100 agree. It is the president s duty to keep america safe, obama failed in that regard. On the flipside kevin says i agree with none of it. The america i know welcomes visitors. Dave johnson says i dont know enough about it, it does seem targeted to the terrorist prone countries. We will keep checking your responses. We appreciate the use of our hashtag. Coming up, four people charged in the massive hacker attack on yahoo, the story we have been following since yesterday, how bay area fbi agents played a big role in the investigation. The Justice Department has formally indicted four russians and a massive hacking case that compromised 500 million yahoo accounts two of the suspects are members of the fsb Security Organization in russia the suspects are described as criminal hackers. One of them has been taken into custody in canada, three other men are large the indictment includes conspiracy, Computer Fraud and economic espionage. This case originated in the bay area with the hacking at accounts in Silicon Valley companies. Agents in the San Francisco office took the lead in the investigation. The fbi says two russian spies and criminal hackers are responsible for one of the largest data breaches in us history, the victims, millions of accounts at yahoo and google. Two defendants are officials with the Russian Intelligence Service the successor to the kgb. The indictment says the fsb officials paid hackers to break into computers and collect sensitive information, one of them was arrested tuesday in canada. The other three are atlarge and presumed to be in russia. We want to send a clear message, you can try to hide in the corners of the dark web but we will hunt you down. We will expose you and we will bring you to justice. The fbi has a long reach. The group targeted yahoo and google accounts. Other victims included nevada gaming officials and a senior officer of a us airline, the defendants were indicted on charges including conspiracy to commit Computer Fraud, theft of trade secrets and economic espionage. They are being charged of stealing yahoo data base and also getting paid for diverting internet traffic to an Online Pharmacy company. Also accused of lining his pockets for personal financial gain. It is an open question as to whether the remaining three defendants will be arrested and face trial in San Francisco. There is no extradition treaty between us and russia. These guys will travel one day there are a lot of International Countries that have extradition treaties with the united states. In these types of cases it is very rare we get to see a face and a name when you hear about the data breach, it says a lot about the fbi they have been working on this since the initial attack . This is the first case in which the fbi has charged fsb agents so this was a big case. Any agents in the bay area . They had to go down Silicon Valley and interview the victims a shout out saying yahoo and google were cooperative, a big case. This goes to show you, if you put enough resources into trying to find someone they can be found, you hear about spoofing and you can cover your tracks but they know where the people are. Two alleged spies and criminal hackers, Something Interesting one of the alleged hackers had been indicted a few years ago arrested in europe but then escaped back to russia before he could be extradited. They are saying these agents instead of turning them over, they used him for their own gain. What is the likelihood of the one person arrested making it to the us courtroom . It is more for that gentleman he was a canadian national. He was arrested in toronto and i am sure he will be getting over here from canada. All right, we appreciate your time thank you on your story. Start coming up, inmates training for a marathon inside the walls of san quentin.
