Transcripts For CNNW New Day Sunday 20190113

Getting away and escaping from her captor . This is like a miracle. I just wish we could do something for her right away, but, you know, its going to take time. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good morning to you. The president reportedly is trying to actually or tried to actually conceal what was said in private meetings with russian president Vladimir Putin, meetings he had facetoface with that leader, even keeping that information secret from high ranking members of his own administration. According to the Washington Post, its happened five times in two years. In one case, he went so far to take the notes from his interpreter, telling him not to talk about what happened. That means there is no detailed record, classified or not, of what was said in those meetings. Here is what the president said when asked if he was a secret russian agent. I think its the most insulting thing ive ever been asked. I think its the most insulting article ive ever had written. And if you read the article, youd see that they found absolutely nothing. The question here why not just say no if that is the answer . Just say no. For the latest reaction to this report from the white house, lets bring in cnn White House Reporter sarah westwood. Good morning to you, sarah. Reporter good morning, victor. President trump, he is, obviously, denying that he took any steps to conceal notes from his interactions with russian president Vladimir Putin. Of course, his interactions with putin came under scrutiny in the past before we knew this information reported by the Washington Post after the president met with putin in helsinki last year and widespread criticism that the president inclined declined a long time to provide a readout to senior administration. Now we are getting insight into perhaps the reasons why. Last night President Trump on fox news strongly pushing back on the the Washington Post report he meets with a number of leaders and took no efforts to conceal notes from those putin meetings. Take a listen. Im not keeping anything under raps. I couldnt care less. I met with every leader, just about. Individuallily. I meet with modi. In japan, i meet with aby and all of them. Anybody could have listened to that meeting. That meeting is open for grabs. Reporter this the Washington Post report came on the heels of a the New York Times report about a counterintelligence probe that agents and fbi opened in the days after President Trump fired james comey and comes as the white house is staffing up in the release of Robert Muellers final report on his investigation. That is slated for the months ahead, sources telling cnn. The White House Legal Team has added 17 lawyers. There is a lot going on the russia front for President Trump, despite his denials. Sarah westwood, we appreciate it so much. Thank you. Lets set the table with the times President Trump met with russian president Vladimir Putin. July 7th, 2001. The two met in germany. The Washington Post says President Trump took notes of that meeting from the interpreter. During the same trip, he met with putin at a banquet later in the evening. November 2017 President Trump and putin met at a summit in vietnam. Then youll remember helsinki. For two hours, behind closed doors, oneonone with interpreters, that was july of 2019. The post reports that several officials were never able to get a reliable readout of the helsinki summit. On november 11th of last year, they reportedly had what was described as a good talk at the paris world world war 1 summit. Lets bring Frederik Pleitgen how this report is being received there in russia. Hello, fred. Reporter hi, victor. The russians really waking up to this report right now. Ive sort of been skimming through Russian Media earlier today and sort of news reports that basically state the facts of what has been going on and what President Trump says about these allegations. There really hasnt been so far in the way of russian reaction to all of this. However, what the russians have said in the past is that, obviously, they would not say that in any way, shape, or form president putin of russia was trying to influence President Trump. If you look at the helsinki meeting the most important one for the russians. The russians believe that Vladimir Putin came out on top after that meeting and that part they were talking about, the two hours behind closed doors where President Trump came out afterwards and essentially sided with Vladimir Putin against his own Intelligence Services and said he didnt know why Vladimir Putin would want to meddle in the United States elections. That was something very important for the russians. The russians looking up that the relationship between the u. S. And russia was improving after that meeting. Vladimir putin was invited to go to washington early 2019 something looking more bleak right now. Essentially what youre hearing from the russians most of the time they have their version of events of what happened in the meetings. They always say, look. These are two leaders speaking to one another. They always say the russians are not trying to influence President Trump but believe that Vladimir Putin has the upper hand at those meetings. One of the interesting things here in russia is the notion even of asking for notes, of asking for interpreter notes after such a meeting took place is something that is absolutely out of the question here in russia. What happens afterwards there is an official readout from the russian side that is provided and there is no questioning of what is in the official versions that the russians put on for their public. Frederik pleitgen in moscow, thank you. Cnn political analyst julian zeleny is with us, historian at princeton, university and siraj hasmi. Based on the information we are getting, is there any indication there is any documents of any of these conversations anywhere that the president had with president putin . There should be documentation from an interpreter. That might be the only thing that congressional members have been actually looking for. They have been actually looking to possibly bring them to testify in front of congress, which, obviously, might violate t impartial role that interpreters played in the diplomacy. With the readout, this is unprecedented presidency, of course. But with President Trump and his meetings with russian president Vladimir Putin. Ive been critical about his meeting with him in helsinki and not basically seeding ground on whether russia played a role in interfering with the 2016 president ial election. What we have to remember here is that we really dont know what happened in these particular private meetings. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson was supposedly in both helsinki and hamburg meetings so we might have to rely on his testimony as well. At this moment with respect to the New York Times report about the fbi opening counterintelligence investigation, that is, obviously, very concerning, but, more so from the point of the fbi acting upon the president using his executive authority to fire an employee, in other words, james comey, for whatever reason. Julian, talking about tillerson. Remember, he is the former secretary of state. What is the possibility that he could or would expound on any of this . Well, now that the democrats control the house, who knows if there is going to be hearings on this. I would suspect there were and we could hear from tillerson. I think this is a concerning story to have a president have several highlevel meetings with so little documentation and so little advisory input from top people. President s usually have people in the room and they usually have notes about what happened and this is an unusual relationship. Thip the i think we might hear from tillerson and every attempt to learn what what happened in the room. I want to read from the Washington Post. The former u. S. Official said that President Trumps behavior is at odds known practices of previous president s who relied on aides to take comprehensive notes then shared with other officials and departments. Is there a precedent for what we are seeing, this allegation that the president is trying to keep this information from these facetoface meetings away from his administration . Not that i know of in the modern presidency. Even when reagan and gorbachev met to end the cold war in summits, a lot of documentation and people like secretary schultz around to know what was going on. So this level of secrecy several times is not a familiar pattern for president s. Siraj, i want to read another quote from the Washington Post from former deputy secretary of state who was deputy secretary of state to bill clinton. In other words, no records, no evidence. Is there a widespread belief that President Trump is being manipulated by president putin . Certainly a number of critics and members of the media believe that President Trump is being manipulate by putin. A lot of his actual policy and implementations with respect to imposing sanctions on russia, albeit hesitantly, initially, but imposing sanctions nonetheless on russia seem to be at odds with this idea that trump is, quote unquote, a agent of the russian government, an agent of the creme len. Ridiculous to think a sitting president of the United States is doing russias bidding and we are still having these discussions about it. I havent seen any evidence, at this moment, to convince me that President Trump is working on behest of russian president Vladimir Putin. Maybe they have an unconventional and unorthodoxed relationship. That happens in the presidency. There could be a time that President Trump or any president meets with a leader that we previously were at odds with who mae be seeing to try to extend an olive branch to. Julian, what are your thoughts on that . Is it a difference that maybe he is not an agent working against the u. S. By any means, but is this a situation he is vulnerable for manipulation . Look. There are enough strange things that happen that its legitimate to raise questions. To have the fbi get into this kind of investigation, that is not normal. Something triggered this. Both his public actions, many statements that he has made that really support or prop up putin and we even know what the prior evidence is to helsinki statement that was very stunning and lets remember, there are many officials in the Trump Administration and campaign who have even either pled guilty and many of whom have lied about this particular relationship over and over again. Something strange is happening and i think its more than legitimate at this point to wonder what is going on. Julian zeleny and siraj hasmi, we appreciate both of you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

What is still unclear why Jake Patterson chose jayme. Ryan young reports from barron, wisconsin. Reporter as you can imagine, this community is still all smiles when it comes to this story. Jayme closs was found.

Even during the News Conference on friday, people from outside came in to listen to the sheriff for themselves. They were actually clapping when he finished. You understand how much passion people are into this. Thousands of people went out looking for her and so glad they were able to find her. Now the next page turns in terms of trying to support her and this community. The family tells us there is a plan in place for where she will live. They dont want to share it with us because they want to make sure she makes this transition in a nice easy step. Ryan, thank you. According to the wall street journal, the u. S. National Security Council which is led by john bolton, asked the pentagon to provide the white house with military options to strike iran last year. Cnn military analyst Lieutenant General Mark Hertling is with us now. Good morning to you, general. First, this was in response to, i believe, three mortars that lefthanded up in the green zone in september of last year. What do you believe is this a response . This is something to a request to a proportional response. Either way, its dangerous. This is one of those kinds of things that i think the president s team saw what they could do in syria, thought they could do the same thing in iran, but in the event, it is actually elements of a declaration of war. When you strike another country. So this is opening up a new front potentially. There have been talk within this administration of striking iran or sever on several occasions. Its not abnormal to ask the pentagon for contingency to see these kinds of things. I was on a staff that was doing these kind of plans. This was not done freequently bt its one to ask for plans and another one to act on them without the consent of congress, because it is the declaration of a war event and it would have been a proportional response but a response to notify several people within the administration that is going to take place. We will hear from mike pompeo in a moment. Let me read you from a couple of sentences right from the the wall street journal. Its unclear with the proposals were provided to the white house or whether President Trump new of the request. Lets listen to the secretary of state. We will not let iran get away with using a proxy force to attack an american interest. Iran will be held accountable for those incidents. Militarily . They are going to be held accountable. If they are responsible for the arming and training of these militias, we are going to go to the source. Do you expect that there will be, that there could still be on the table a military response . There certainly could be, victor. And, truthfully, various elements within iran have been contributing to malalign actions in iraq as this one for almost a decade. They were involved in certain attacks along the iran iraqi border even when i was in there in 2007 and 2008. You can never pinpoint the actions. It was always covert but it smelled and spoke of things coming out of iran to try and disrupt the governmental activity of iraq. But, again, one more time. This is taking an action based on something that is occurring in another foreign country against a u. S. Consulate or embassy which is the rational according to the wall street journal article for the strikes. Again, mr. Pompeo is right to say they will take any action to prevent these kind of things. That is solid National Security policy. But, again, a strike against a sovereign nation has a great deal of gravitose within and should be spoken with other people. John bolton, before entering this administration has been known as a hawk on iran, has written about encouraging the u. S. To strike iran militarily. Could this have possibly been an opportunity for bolton to execute what he has been wanting the u. S. To do for sometime now and take that military strike against iran . Well, this is very nuance, victor. If youre suggesting that this was john boltons idea and he was going to tell people to do it, that is a whole different bag of worms. But when youre talking about the National Security adviser, his job is to present options to the president of the United States. If he has a bias toward this kind of action against iran he can key up discussions within the National Security council that would present options to the president for decision. Bolton or pompeo, by themselves, would not be able to order such actions without the advice and approval of the president of the United States and going through the chain of command within the department of defense. Those are two different issues. Whether or not this was boltons idea and he was ready to execute it or whether it was boltons idea and he was looking for options to present to the president are two different scenarios. General mark hert ling, thank you very much so much. Thank you, victor. A lot of blame going around between democrats and republicans what is now the longest Government Shutdown in u. S. History.

The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump has concealed information from private meetings with russian president Vladimir Putin. Press secretary Sarah Sanders is calling the report outrageously inaccurate. The post reports this has happened at least five times in two years. Easements they say President Trump went so far to take away notes from his interpreter telling the translator not to discuss the meeting with other officials. As a result the Washington Post says u. S. Officials have no detailed records even in classified files of the president s interactions with president putin. The partial Government Shutdown is in its fourth week. A new poll shows the American Public blames republicans. According to a new poll, 53 of americans blame President Trump and the gop. 29 say its the democrats fault. The white house is digging in here and preparing for the shutdown to last through february. The administration is stopping the spread of public pain by continuing to pay out food stamps and delivering tax returns and the tsa is promising one days pay and those who worked over the holidays. Its short of the two weeks pay they are owed but could help solve part of the problems of agents calling out sick. We have heard from federal workers across the country about the real pain they are experiencing because of the shutdown. But i want you to listen to a senior white house adviser. You pay this man. He is talking about the workers being actually better off. Huge share of government workers were going to take vacation days, say, between christmas and new years, and then we have a shutdown and so they cant go to work and so then they have the vacation. But they dont have to use their vacation days. And then they come bottom and then they get their back pay, in some sense, they are better off. With a grin on his face, he says that people who are not being paid are better off because they are not being paid at sitting home during the holidays. There is not a Single Person we have had on this show who has been affected by this shutdown who does not want to go back to work and earn the money to pay their bills, to pay their mortgages, to pay the childrens tuition. They are better off, he says. Both sides are digging in on the border wall fight. Will the president take an extraordinary step to bypass congress . Nor mark warner and senator ron johnson will be on state of the union with jake tapper at 9 00 a. M. Eastern on cnn. President trump is also talking about the 2020 elections, say he is the most qualified person in the country to be president and he is looking at a potential opposing candidate, calling a Vice President weak.

He spoke to fox news last night and asked who he would like to rub against. He said this. Well, i dont want to pick anyone out but, you know, a lot of people say biden is doing okay but he was always a 1 er. He ran 1968 times and never got above 1 and then obama came along and took him off the trash heap and he became a Vice President and now he is probably leading but he is basically a 1 guy. He is weak lets discuss. Bring back the panel. Siraj hasmi and julian zeleny. Julian is the author after new book fault lines, the history of the United States since 1974. Siraj, is this kind of trash talk youd expect from donald trump a year out from his general election, from the Reelection Campaign . Or is this an indication that this is someone he is concerned about . Well, the thing is that joe biden is leading in the democratic field at the moment. Of course, we are more than a year out from the 2020 president ial election. And what is interesting here is that donald trump, with respect to this Government Shutdown, if he does not cave i should say if he does not declare a National Emergency and he caves on state funding for the border wall, then he has to start worrying about a 2020 president ial election in terms of which democrat he faces because any of them could probably defeat him because his base would be fractured at that point. Biden of the Democratic Candidates who are, you know, flirting with running or announced they are running, he is the most viable who can actually reach across and get a lot of independent voters who went to trump in 2016 but voted for obama in 2012 and 2008. Four Democratic Candidates have declared or they are officially exploring. Donald trump announced in june of 2015, barack obama announced in, i think, february of 2007. Does the orthodoxy or i guess this accepted idea that biden has some time to get in, does that hold in this environment . I think it is going to be harder. There is less time to wait to really get in and biden, himself, has often waited, so he has a history of that. I think the field is going to get crowded very quickly. Although many people, obviously, know who biden is. Im not convinced he really is the frontrunner. I think its just name familiarity and i think the democrats are actually going to have a pretty large, but also very talented field of people to run against a very unpopular president. So this wont be easy for biden to somehow claim he is frontrunner because he was Vice President. Julian, let me stay for you for this. You talk about this talented field. President obamas hud secretary castro announced for president on saturday and not as well known as the other potential opponents here but he has a good personal story here. He now has a couple of former Iowa State Party democratic chairs who are signing on to his compare. He is being seen as someone who is a real contender or just someone with an interesting story . They are waiting for the other potential democrat out of texas . I think he is considered a real contender and he has been for several years. He has some formidable opponents with a lot of experience like senator warren, so i do think it will be difficult. But i think there is a lot of excitement about him, his story, the policies he has promoted, and the collective, you know, field of democrats just now looks a lot more like america more broadly than a lot of the republican parties. So i think that is what democrats are excited about and that is how he fits into a broader narrative the democrats want to tell. All right. I talk more about the field. We have got a senator from california be, harris, a potential 2020 candidate for the democratic nomination. The last colwoman of color to run i want you to listen to an interview this weekend and she was heckled by someone in the audience. You have been, for so many vulnerable populations. We are so great we are so excuse me. Im talking but just give me a minute. Thank you. So thank you for everything that you have done. If you couldnt hear that, the reason i bring up race because the person in the audience was yelling, what about black people . What about black people . We saw then what senator obama had to answer and answer for in his run in 2007 and 2008. How will this be different now the first woman of Color Running for president in 15 years do you expect, siraj . The interesting aspect we live in the digital age in which previous comments or actions, they are quickly unearthed through the media and through the interpret. With respect to harris specific actions as the attorney general. Just in the last five years to 2014 to now she has a lot of questionable actions that happen, specifically trying to block second strike nonviolent offends are being barred from parole because she said they would be drawing from the prison labor pool. Stunning to think about senator harris coming from those type of roots. Her particular history as a state prosecutor is going to come into question and honestly is going to be the biggest baggage for her with respect to how democrats and prosecuting sieves and liberals view criminal justice the last five years since tamir rice and Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin as well. We know the criminal justice will be a Central Point for the primary at least and maybe the general after the president signed new criminal Justice Reform legislation. They got bipartisan support, so we will see if that continues through the cycle. Julian zeleny and siraj hasmi, thank you both. Thank you, victor.

I think we are mediumsized about a hundred thousand light years across and take a beam of light about 100 thousand years to travel from one end to the other. Think about these galaxies moving in space. They are moving around and every now and then, they will collide. Looks like this may hit us in 2 billion years. I have time to finish my bucket list .

As i said, they are very quick and its probably Something Like the fact that some years ago, not that many years ago, we only detected the first exo planets, that is planets outside of our solar system. Since then, we have detected many exoplanets and some could have earthlike conditions, so we are coming to understand that they are much more common. Same with the radio bursts. Probably we are now noticing them and they are probably due to astro physical phenomenon and black holes forming or engulfing other stars, things like that.

We were talking about israel and securing israel and lots of other things. Im not keeping anything under wraps. I couldnt care less.
