With many details. There is a lot i want to go over with you. Lets talk about the big news when it comes to immigration on daca, the court deciding not to take up any of the cases that were before it. What does this mean . I feel like we are on a lightning round here with action, inaction and baby steps in between by the Supreme Court. It was inaction on the case involving nearly 700,000 people who came here as young immigrants without documentation who were protected from deportation and allowed work permits under the policy of President Trump that President Trump is trying to phase out. What the administration obviously wants to end that program and it is all caught up with the negotiations right now on the hill, too. What the Supreme Court has done is nothing yet and is effectively allowing the obama era policy to stay in effect for now. So that is really important for nearly 700,000 people who want to be protected under the obama era policy for young immigrants without documentation. That was number one. Just so you know, it doesnt mean that the Supreme Court will never enter this dispute, but for now its now. Thats very important to many people. It means at least for ten, maybe 11, 12 months the government must continue to allow for the renewals under the daca program. That is a big move. Second, the justices are also allowing the president s ban on transgender people serving in the military allowing it to go forward. This is where the Trump Administration gets a win. Were talking incremental steps. This is a very important incremental step because this policy is being fought out in lower courts. Its subject to litigation from people challenging this policy that the Trump Administration put in place back in summer of 2017 that forbids openly transgender people from serving in many cases. What the court did is in a brief order protested by four liberal justices lifted an injunction and lets the policy take effect. It allows the litigation and lower courts to go forward by those challenging it. This is a really important signal from the Supreme Court because it took five votes and five conservative justices sided with the Trump Administration saying that policy should take effect that transgender troops should be barred from serving in many, many cases while the litigation continues. How Many Service Members this impacts, current or new . An important announcement regardless. Also, now on russia. This Mystery Company from a mystery country in a legal battle with Robert Muellers team. They may now be allowed another day in court. Tell me about this. This one stays at the Supreme Court. This one really is incremental. This is one we know that is a corporation, Foreign Government connected, owned that is fighting a subpoena from a lower court and came up here earlier to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court denied an initial appeal or stay of that order on the subpoena and related fines. Now the court is saying i just want to caution this is incremental saying that this entity can file a full appeal with the court under seal. The whole thing has been under seal. So we are not exactly sure what the conditions are. It doesnt suggest that the court is going to take up the case or further protect this entity. At least it is slowing down the process and at least allows the company to make this full appeal under seal. Also the court said that a redacted version of the filing had to be made public. Definitely allowing the mystery to continue even more. For the first time in almost a decade, the court has agreed to take up a gun rights case. What is the case . This is a piece of action, a case that will be heard in the fall by the Supreme Court revisits Second Amendment rights. You referred to 2008 when the Supreme Court first declared that individuals had a right to own a handgun. And then in 2010 the court expanded that ruling beyond just federal claims to all states. That has been a very big deal for people. What kplakt eis the scope of Second Amendment rights. The court has spurned appeals not wanting to get into it again. Now in the fall they hear a case involving rules for transportation of handguns. Where exactly in new york you can transport, where you can take it. Thank you so much. Lightning round. That was amazing. I really appreciate it. On capitol hill, we will see dueling proposals and votes this week to end the month long Government Shutdown and barring a miracle none of them is going to succeed. Miracles happen, just not in our life times right now. The senate is going to take up the president s proposal that includes money for a wall and some temporary measures intended to entice democrats. Democrats say it is a nonstarter. That is justinate senate. Phil mattingly, what is going to happen . Reporter something will be introduced but there wont be votes for at least another couple of days. What we are going to see today was released last night. Mitch mcconnell is likely to take it up today. It closely mirrors what the president announced on saturday. That is the republican proposal. What it is 5. 7 billion for a wall. The tradeoff is a three year extension of doma protections and temporary protected status, they believe that is a compromise. Democrats reject that proposition saying on the first front they dont want to negotiate anything on Border Security unthill til the governs reopen. They are rejecting it on those grounds and rejecting it on policy grounds. You saw what the Supreme Court decided not to do with daca. The dwroidea of moving somethin temporary just doesnt fly with democrats. It is something they were in favor of before. Now that there is a lot of space there, they are not willing to do that. You have the idea that Mitch Mcconnell and republicans need seven democrats to come aboard. We are hearing is they are well short of that. In the senate that is likely to die. In the house, they will move their own proposals supported by democrats that the senate will not take up and that leaves us in the same place we have been now for 32 days or so. Absolutely no urgency which is the most unsettling part about this whole thing. Where is the urgency around it . Thank you so much. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are going to miss a second full paycheck as the shutdown drags on by the end of this week. That includes some 40,000 active duty members of the u. S. Coast guard currently serving without pay. Volunteers are opening food banks. The former head of the coast guard says the fact that this is even necessary is a disgrace. He led it from 2006 to 2010 is joining me right now via phone. Thank you for coming on. Good morning. Really appreciate your time. I was reading an interview that you did with npr. You call this an outrage how this played out. Why does this upset you so much . Im upset for the coast guard and for all federal workers. The fact of the matter is if you read the preemable to the constitution we are supposed to provide general welfare. The elected leaders are failing to live up to their responsibilities. Failing to live up to their responsibilities. Coast guard members are looking at missing a second paycheck at the end of this week. What does that mean for coast guard families . Its difficult enough. Two paychecks in a row becomes devastating. Another thing kicks in and that is retirees and surviving spouses. Some of these people dont have access to the internet and are nonmobile and may not know the situation exists. It will get much worse. You just told me that the leaders are failing to live up to the responsibilities as laid out in the constitution. Who is to blame for this, admiral . Im not going to portion any particular individual, but between the branches of government in total they are acting irresponsibly and need to get this problem fixed. I think the saddest part about all of this is this is a political fight. This is not a policy one at its core. One would think that 40,000 members of the military going without pay would be enough i dont know to scare them right, to end this, but it has not been. What do you think, then, it is going to take to spark a sense of urgency among these leaders to end this . I dont think it is well known the activities that are impacted by this. We have people stationed at embassies and bases overseas that arent getting paid while living with armed forces counter parts. The coast guard is the maritime equivalent of faa. Vessel inspections, things that are basic safety for the Transportation System and commerce of this country will slowly be eroded due to lack of resources and personnel. This will have far reaches economic impacts. You also said something in an interview with the huffhuffing pos post. You said if you get to some point where you have people required to work not being paid, their families subjected to stress i think you have to expect there is going to be a problem with readiness and ability to respond. What do you fear is going to happen if this continues to drag on . What if you dont have enough money to put gas in your car to go to work . What is your status at that point . You didnt elect to do that but you cant report to do your job. At some point you have to buy fuel. There are supplies needed for operations. You cant spend money you dont have. Sooner or later these life lines that are established will dry up. What is your message to the u. S. Coast guard if they are watching this morning . The u. S. Coast guard will do their duty. You will see their leaders as they have reinforce the fact that what they are doing is critical for the countrys safety. They may continue to do what they need to do to do their jobs. They will be loyal and do what they can for the American Public because that is what they put on the blue uniform to do. Because it just happened, i did want to get your reaction. The Supreme Court handed down a decision allowing President Trumps ban on transgender people serving in the military to go into effect. What it means for current members is a bit of a question, but what is your reaction for what it means for the coast guard . It means the same for every service. We made a contract with our people and now that is broken in some way. When you create a policy, you create expectations and people swear an oath and decide to serve. And then you say that is not good enough, we will break the contract because of your status. That is not the way to run military. You are disappointed in that . Yes. Admiral, thank you so much for coming on. I always appreciate your time. Thank you especially today. Thank you. Admiral thad allen right there.

President trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani trying to clean up comments he made in connection to the russia investigation. We are now in Something Like double digit territory. This time he is back tracking on statements made on sunday about the trump tower moscow proposal. Giuliani told several news outlets that talks about the project continued throughout the campaign, possibly as late as into november 2016. Now giuliani says that is not what he said. The latest rendition of this playing out in a wild interview with the new yorker. What is going on here . You said this, more cleanup on aisle rudy right now. We are seeing him try to fix the timeline that he laid out. This goes back to his interview with the New York Times on sunday. In that interview he gives a quote from donald trump in which trump says that he knew that discussions were going on from the day i announced to the day i won. Ever since then giuliani has been walking that back. He told cnn that trump had no recollection of the discussions. There was no documents or evidence to show him the day when it would end. He went on to say that he was speaking hypothetically. Now he is getting into more detail where he is saying that in fact he told the new yorker that he didnt say this to the New York Times despite the times quoting him on a record and goes on to tell the new yorker that even if it was true it is not criminal. That is all very interesting because donald trump answered written questions to robert mueller. We know the nature of the questions were part of that. Giuliani has given new information to the public and back tracked on it adding to the confusion. It gives muellers team some ammunition to say they want to interview with the president. That is the risk that they say the president should clarify this information. The amount of confusion that giuliani has entered into the public atmosphere in the past 48 hours certainly gives them this ammuniti ammunition. Giuliani was also asked whether there are tapes that prove that trump spoke to cohen ahead of congressional testimony or cleared him in regards to did not speak to cohen ahead of congressional testimony. The reason he was pressed on that is because that is something he raised himself in this interview with the new yorker. This was something that giuliani interjected into the conversation. The reason that they are talking about this evidence and whether there is evidence is relating to the buzz feed story on friday which said that the special counsels office had evidence, witness testimony and Text Messages that donald trump directed Michael Cohen to lie. The special counsels office has said that report was inaccurate. Giuliani in the interview with the new yorker brings up the concept that there could be tapes. Lets take a look at one of the exchanges with the reporter in which he says i know the story was false because i have been through all the tapes, texts and emails and i knew none existed. Basically, when the special counsel said that just in case there are any others i might not know about, they probably went through others and found the same thing. The reporter says what tapes have you gone through. Giuliani said i shouldnt have said tapes. There were no texts, emails and the president never told them to lie. The reporter says so there were no tapes and giuliani says no tapes. Well, i have listened to tapes, but none of them concern this. The tapes that we know of that exist are the ones that the fbi seized from Michael Cohens home office and hotel room when they raided him. Thank you so much. Your job here is done. Joining me now to discuss this, there are more quotes i will bring to you guys. Great to see you guys. What do you make of giulianis lets call it cleanup attempt here. Every time he cleans up there is a question. Do you see a strategy behind this . Say one thing and then say another then go back again. Or do you think it is Something Else . I think it is a strategy. I dont think it is a sound legal strategy. I think they are playing the impeachment game. As a legal strategy it is a dangerous and poor legal strategy. The comments that Rudy Giuliani is making could be attributed to his client. So saying one thing and saying another thing is very dangerous for the obvious reasons in the court of law. I dont think that is what they are doing. They are putting all their eggs in the impeachment basket. And they are hoping that Congress Goes along with it because there will be people who stick with the president no matter what. That is what i think they are doing. No matter what comes out people say it is baked in. Everyone has decided and that might be what it is attributing to it. There is this that several people close to mr. Trump have grown exasperated with mr. Giulianis public appearances and expressed concern that he is increasing prosecutors anger with the president and creating a misimpression in moscow. I wonder if Rudy Giuliani is confusing the public, what was his job . Confusing the public. To echo a little bit of what jennifer was saying, i think it is part of the strategy. Donald trumps team wants all of this to seem pretty muddy. They dont want the facts to be black and white. They want it to seem partisan. They want you to think that you knew the stuff before even as it comes out anew. And the goal for so much of this is to just create confusion. This is the way that i think Rudy Giuliani is looking at it as he plays Donald Trumps lawyer on tv is to think of this as a political problem, not a criminal one. And that the court of public opinion, the court of capitol hill is where this legal battle will be ultimately won or lost. So to the extent that he can sort of bit by bit move the goal posts or make you think you might have known that already or confuse you about who said what when, that ultimately i think rebounds over time to the president s political benefit leaving aside the criminal legal questions which as jennifer says is a terrible strategy and Rudy Giuliani is doing harm to that basically every time he opens his mouth. One thing thal giuliani disputes is a quote from the New York Times. The quote is that the new yorker presented to him. Discussions were going on from the day i announced to the day i won. He was quoting trump to the New York Times at the time. Giuliani told the new yorker i did not say that. The Reporter Asks the times just made that quote up . He says i dont know if they made it up. If he had those conversations, they were not criminal. Why does this moment matter . The reason the initial admission that the conversations took place all the way up to the election matter is you have to be talking in a legal sense now. This is about whether there is a quid pro quo going on. This is at a time that he is saying that the sanctions are not valid, this is what you might be looking at as the other half for the moscow project that he is seeking. That is why it is important as a legal matter. Rudy backing off of it is not just that he is saying i have a different take for you. He is saying i didnt say that. You have a quote and then you have i didnt say that at all. He is basically saying fake news when he says that. There is a favorite term which is gas lighting. Sometimes it feels like that. I will leave you with one more when it comes to im just goto read this for you. The new yorker asking giuliani, saying things for trump not always being truthful about it. Do you worry that this will be your legacy . Giuliani, absolutely. I am afraid it will be on my grave stone. Rudy giuliani, he lied for trump. Somehow giuliani says i dont think that will be it. If it is so what. What do i care . Ill be dead. I figure i can explain it to st. Peter. Im just going to leave that there. Great to see you guys. Thank you.

That school is closed today after saying it received threats. Cnn National Correspondent has been following this story from the beginning. What kind of threats are we talking about here . The school hasnt said exactly what kind of threats. We have heard from the students, the student at the center of the viral video. He said he and his family had been receiving threats. We heard from another student who says he was not there at the actual incident but then he attends a school that someone said a bunch of students they hoped would put them all inside the school and burn the school down. Things like that we are hearing from the students and we are hearing from the school saying just for safety purposes they have gotten the authorities involved and they want to make sure that they have a secure setting for the students and teachers to come and go forward with the work of being a student and teacher. So they are being very clear that they want to make sure they have a safety apparatus that is set up. Overnight there is still more to this story. We learned twitter suspended the account that helped ignite this controversy. What are you learning about that account . Its interesting. Great reporting from sullivan who tends to look at the social media issues here. One of the accounts is at 2020 fight. So the way it was framed by the account which turned out to be an account that twitter said this doesnt look right. It is someone elses picture that doesnt match the persons name. They have a high rate of tweeting out things. They have inconsistent political messages and seemed like there is something wrong with the account and they put out video that only showed a very small portion of what happened that day and framed it in a political sense talking about the hat wearing kids versus an eldernative american. That is the one that went viral. There were many other videos that were out there from other accounts but that particular account is in question. But i think this tells us a story about america, the media, social media. This tells us something more. Its not just that the account is there. Its the way it was framed. People believed every minute of what they were seeing without the context. That happens all the time on social media. All the time you see these viral videos and then you come to find out that something is different. I think it is a lesson for everyone, for all of us. Everyone is reacting see viscerally to this particular photo, to this particular incident, this particular video without asking any questions. And every day with your reporting since this has started i thought exactly that that there is a lesson here for everybody in how this has played out. Thank you. Its great to see you. Thanks so much.

Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today there is an important update on the sanctions the Trump Administration just lifted from the Business Empire of a Russian Oligarch. The New York Times is reporting that the supposedly painful concessions agreed to by Russian Oligarch in order to get the sanctions lifted may not have been as severe as first stated. They could actually benefit the powerful russian businessman. This started in april of 2018 when the administration slapped sanctions on Russian Companies in retaliation for interference in the 2016 election. The Treasury Department announced they are willing to remove sanctions saying that he is giving up his ownership of the companies and he is backing Good Behavior essentially. Now, a new document has surfaced that could offer a different take on what was done in exchange for getting that deal. Here with me now, thank you for coming in. What did you learn from the document that you were able to view . It has not been made public. So we were able to determine that in exchange for giving shares, the goal here for treasury was to get him at less than 50 ownership of this Holding Company that owns this big Aluminum Company that is important to the World Economy. Treasury said the sanctions on the companies were hurting the World Economy by disrupting the global aluminum markets. They said they would be willing to lift the sanctions on the Company Providing he got under 50 ownership of the main company and also sacrificed control of the company. We learned that as part of some of the restructuring that he did to get under 50 , he gave a bunch of shares to a foundation that he controls. He gave a bunch of shares to a russian bank very close to the kremlin which is also under sanctions. In exchange for the shares that he gave to the bank they forgave loans that he had taken out that were potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He both gets some personal benefit from this in the form of loan forgiveness and also retains at least some ownership if you add up the amount of ownership that he has it is still over he and his allies. They are still over 50 owners of these companies begging the question really how much he had to sacrifice to get the sanctions lifted. In response to reporting and the details laid out, the Treasury Department gave you a statement. The control over the entities is severed by this delisting. He can no longer use them to carry out elicit activities on behalf of the kremlin. From what you are learning, is that true . They are making claims that are technical and agreements are highly technical. If you talk to sanctions experts who work with the office of foreign asset control within the treasury which is the agency that handles the sanctions, they will say this is a very complicated deal and does inflict some harm. He is significantly worse off than before the sanctions. They admit he is better off having the sanctions lifted against his compan even as he himself remains under sanction. Interesting this is why it has atracked so much attention. He remains a peripheral figure because of his work with paul manafort. That is exactly right. You are right that in this document that basically it offers up what is laid out in the document offers up two scenarios of what happened. Either the treasury knew that they were letting him off easy or they since your reporting came out, are you getting a clear sense of which of the options it is . Not really. The office of foreign asset control is renowned as a black box. It is very difficult to get visibility. This set of negotiations we get more visibility because some of the firms representing the companies registered under the foreign agents registration act. This is a tool that mueller is using to prosecute some of manafort and some of the Trump Associates who had long been doing this type of lobbying for Russian Oligarchs. So we had a little bit more visibility into it but not a ton. I would add a third possibility. Potentially without a full understanding of how the sanctions would effect the global aluminum market and as a result some of these companies in the u. S. Or in u. S. Allied countries that subsequently complained what are you doing with the sanctions . And that was an argument that really seemed to resonate in the Treasury Department in the Trump Administration more broadly with this focus on bringing jobs and winning in the Global Market place. These sanctions were seen as potentially hurting u. S. Standing in that of u. S. Companies in the Global Market place. Fascinating. We know none of it without your great reporting.

The Trump Administration is once again touting the defeat of isis, this time coming from secretary of state mike pompeo just this morning. It should not go unnoticed that weve also defeated the isis caliphate in syria and iraq alongside more than six dozen nations in the Global Coalition to defeat isis. There is a lot more work to do. That is very much what the president said also just last month in his announcement to withdraw all troops in syria, but there has now been two attacks since then, since that announcement on america announcement, on americanled patrols in syria, and isis has claimed responsibility. On this very issue, the president ial envoy, the man who until last month was in charge of the u. S. Fight against isis, he has spoken over the president s withdrawal from syria. He told cnn the administration has no plan for what comes next. Isis is not defeated. This mission is not over. We dont have a plan for whats coming. Its one thing to say, look, we should leave syria, lets think of a plan. Its another thing to announce were leaving syria and think of the plan later. Thats whats going on now, and i think its increasing the risk to our forces on the ground. Isis is not defeated. Joining me now, seth jones. Hes a Senior Adviser at the center for strategic alliance. He also studies militants and their strength on the region. Thanks for coming. Thanks, kate. So mike pompeo says the u. S. Has defeated isis. From everything youve seen, is he right . He said weve defeated the isis caliphate, and technically that caliphate no longer controls a lot of territory. But if you take a step back, isis, as fred mcgirt just noticed, they continue to target american soldiers in the region. So isis is not defeated even though the caliphate has lost most of the territory it once controlled. Your report came out in november, and your report says that the largest numbers of jihadist fighters were in syria followed by afghanistan. You also have numbers in the neighborhood of 20,000 to 25,000 fighters on both sides of the border that are Islamic State or Islamic State supporters. From everything that you have studied, when the president says the reason were bringing the troops home from syria is isis has been defeated and he doesnt caveat it with the caliphate, what do you think . I think its just a political statement. I think every single terrorism expert who has looked at this issue can categorically say that isis has not been defeated, nor, for that matter, has al qaeda. Al qaeda has a major presence in syria as well. Its not just the isis component of it, the u. S. Is now walking away which has the largest al qaeda presence anywhere in the world. So two major jihadist groups, one which was involved in the 9 11 attack, before isis walks away. I spoke with the leader of afghanistan. He said, i spent a lot of time fighting in iraq and afghanistan. I dont want to replay this movie here. Hes talking about afghanistan, but is that movie about to replay there . I think it is about to replay there. The one question is how much are the russians the russians have been the main power in syria and theyve been able to, with syrias help, been able to take over west of syria. Will the russians move into the east now and try to take over territory that isis once controlled . Seth, i appreciate you coming on, really appreciate your report. We actually have numbers, facts and figures when we have these political discussions. Its really important. Thank you. Thanks, kate.
