Sequestration going forward. It would be bad for our security and bad for our growth. Deep freeze from chicago to boston hazardous travel conditions today because of freezing rain and snow. And fantastic four the new England Patriots win their fourth super bowl championship after a crazy catch. A terrible coaching call and enough fireworks for the fourth of july. Still not on the ground. Still not on the ground. Look at that i cant believe the call. Me either. I cannot believe the call. Happy monday everybody, im Andrea Mitchell in washington. The headline in todays boston globe says it all, return to glory. The new England Patriots made a remarkable fourth of july quarter come back to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 2824 and become super bowl champions for the fourth time. The nail biting game came down to a goal line interception by malcolm butler. Tom brady deflected a question about deflategate during a press conference. Weve been focusing on our game and im sure all of that stuff will take care of itself over the next however long it takes. It was a great accomplishment by our team last night. A great victory, we should all be proud. You know we get to go to a parade and celebrate and that will be a lot we havent had one of those in a long time. That parade is set to take place in boston tomorrow. Joining me from glendale arizona is nbcs craig melvin. Craig, this game had it all. First of all, we havent talked about the catch that would have been the headline out of the game if not for the final play calling. Reporter yeah. What did you make of it . What was it like to be there . Reporter you know, andrea, people will be talking about that call pete car roll made 20 years from now. When youre inside the stadium, you could sense that the seahawks fans who had been on a roller coaster the entire game. The first half for them was abysmal. Russell wilson had no completions in the first half. He had more interceptions in the previous game than completions the first half of last nights game. Its 1414, it looks as if the seahawks are starting to click on all cylinders and they have momentum and driving. Two minutes left roughly two minutes left and Marshawn Lynch in the back field and what does the defending super bowl champion do . He throws the ball. Throws an interception. Pete carroll in his defense but he did take credit for it immediately after the game. Didnt pawn it off on wilson. He said it was his decision but inside the stadium, you saw seahawks fans who looked like they were shell shocked. They could not believe it. That they had essentially blown that game. It was you know you jux at a pose that against the Patriots Fans who feel they snatched victory out of the mouths of defeat. And they were thrilled as you saw in the field after the game. You you saw it these guys were on cloud nine. They felt they were vindy indicated. Deflategate of course and deflategate did not come up a great deal in the News Conference that wrapped up a short time ago. The sound bite from tom brady was one of two references made. You were on the field as you were just referencingin inviewed the owner, bob kraft. I want to play a little bit of that. Weve had our challenges this year and found a way to come together and execute and this game we did a great job for your parent, nbc. I love steve burke and brian roberts, ill bet the ratings for this have to be through the roof. You mentioned difficulties what are you talking about specifically . Keeping our Team Together and making sure everyone is healthy. Have a good day. You know craig, just a shoutout to the camera work and direction from nbc sports the reaction shots you saw every emotion across Richard Shermans face when the catch during the catch and tom bradys as well. It was just amazing in the last couple of minutes of that game. No one could believe it. Not even chris kol lingsworth he said what everyone else was thinking about that call. Just even to hear pete carroll explain it last night, folks who understand the game of football i dont profess to be one of them but folks who get the xs and os didnt get it. Just to be fair just so our audience understands his explanation, he essentially said when they got to the line they saw the goal line defense. Did not feel like with that goal line defense they were seeing by the patriots that Marshawn Lynch would be able to penetrate the line. That coupled with the amount of time left in the game. They didnt want to leave too much time on the clock. Those were the explanations i dont know. No one is buying those explanations. From the living room couch, 20 seconds to go Marshawn Lynch, second down two downs to go. Dont want to leave time on the clock. You still have time. Anyway was that really Pete Carrolls call or an audible . Reporter that was Pete Carrolls call. He didnt shy away from it one bit. He said it was him, he made the call. There was some folks who right after thought maybe Russell Wilson saw something or one of these things no Russell Wilson defended his coach. He defended the call as well not the offensive coordinator. It was pete carroll. And this was not Pete Carrolls first rodeo, he won two National Championships when he was a College Coach and super bowl champion last year. Hes been here before. But this is something that is going to be talked about for some time. Russell wilson by the way, we had you mention, one of the most underpaid quarterbacks in the nfl, underpaid by nfl standards, most believe that in the off season despite the interception last night hell become the highest paid quarterback in the history of the nfl, his contract is up. Well craig melvin thank you for your great work out there. We love having you on today. There were record breaking social media hits twitter went crazy, 28 million tweets during the game and we were all part of that thank you so much. And were following another big breaking News Development from the nfl, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, Johnny Manziel has entered a Treatment Center today. Cleveland first round pick released a statement that reads in part johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a Better Family member and team and teammate. The browns also released a statement saying they respect and support manziels decision. We wish him well of course. Here in washington today, a lot of budget and political news. The president drove across town an hour ago to Homeland Security headquarters and a half our ago next to our studio here he started the fight for the new budget. Joining me now for our daily fix, Kristen Welker and Chris Cillizza and managing editor of postpolitics. Com and Washington Post columnist, ruth marcus. Kristen, this is white house budget day, they have the new budget and hes fighting for it. He went to homeland to emphasize this ongoing fight from the old budget, funding Homeland Security which includes secret service and other critical things but the fight is over hiS Immigration policy. The border and immigration policies. Thats right. The optics were pretty powerful. That is a immediate battle looming, ill make one point about that. Funding for dhs runs out on february 27th. A lot of conservative republicans want any legislation to keep dhs open to have some amendments that would block the president S Immigration executive action. Of course, he will veto that so they are trying to work on a fix that would appease those conservatives who want to take a stand against the action but make its way past the president s desk. Thats a real challenge. President obama dug in his heels on that today but unveiling his budget at dhs. Theres a broader battle here which is over the budget. This budget which increases spending by about 7 . Its a 4 trillion budget. It would end the sequester, the deep across the board spending cuts. The president is calling for increasing taxes on wealthy americans to fund what he calls middle class priorities things Like Community college, childcare, paid sick leave. It also calls for increasing taxes on corporations profits overseas to Fund Infrastructure projects. Republicans basically say this is dead on arrival. The chairman of the house ways and means committee, paul ryan has said its never going to pass. He has identified some potential areas of Common Ground including Corporate Tax reform. Andrea, were going to have a press conference with top economic viszadvicers in a few minute. That of course is what the republicans are complaining about, the president laid down his markers as kristen was just saying, i want to bring you guys in but listen to president obama moments ago. They are now threatening to let Homeland Security funding expire because of their disagreement with my actions to make our immigration system smarter, fairer and safer. Now, lets be clear. I think we can have a reasonable debate about immigration. Im confident that what were doing is the right thing and the lawful thing. Dont jeopardize our National Security over this disagreement. He is making it a National Security issue ruth marcus thats probably his strongest play right now but this is this is going to be the kind of pitch battle especially with House Republicans. Absolutely. This is really one of those be careful what you wish for moments for House Republicans and Senate Republicans as well because they were the ones remember, who insisted on decoupling the expiration of the Homeland Security fundsing from extending the funding for the rest of the budget. We knew this moment was going to come. We knew the moment was going to come where the president would say, youre risking our security, house leaders dont want to see this showdown and have funding for dhs expire but its going to be very hard to appease their base. And thats going to be the challenge of the next few weeks. All of this, chris sill list saturday za is against the back drop of the republican field heating up with mitt romney out and Chris Christie going to london. And jeb bush i would argue despite the Des Moines Register poll where hes obviously not doing well in iowa where he didnt go to that conference last weekend, but jeb bush gaining the most from mitt romneys decision and scott walker and others now seeing that theyve got to play. My colleague and i had a politics meeting as we do every monday at the post. Dan who has covered many campaigns says this is a january like an off year like any other. Its really true. From romney getting out to jeb basically getting in Just Announced that hes hired two media consultants, you dont do that no think about the the race. Scott walker rand paul theres so many people at play. Look andrea i think its important to remember this is likely to be the largest republican field in the modern history of the gop primary. The biggest field in the past was 2008 and 2012. You have upwards of 20 semiserious to serious candidates looking at the race. Lets say we get 16 or 18 theres going to be a longer period than many people expert of whittling these people down because of the raw numbers. And now were in the money primary. From my reporting over the weekend, mitt romneys decision was based on money on seeing from the money of his former supporters that he didnt have the support that he thought not just financial but the other Political Support that he thought he had from team romney, that it had gone to jeb bush and what i see happening now is the romney forces and whoever is still loyal to him wanting to make a play for marco rubio as a blocking action against jeb bush, anybody but jeb in romneyland and that could mean scott walker could mean Chris Christie as well. Christie and romney have toward the end of the 2012 campaign it was nasty at the end. Somewhat strained but do have a relationship and christie did have dinner together. A previously scheduled dinner. But, ruth theres another issue out there which we should be talking about, Savannah Guthrie asked the president about it and then Chris Christie was asked about it by casey hunt in london. And this is a big libertarian issue, do you have the right to prevent your children from getting the vaccine, should it be mandatory and what about the fact that so many in california are keeping kids from getting vaccinated . And are you endangering other children which is the other argument. This was savannah and the president yesterday. The science is pretty indisputable. We looked at this again and again, there is every reason to get vaccinated. There arent reasons to not get vak natured. Are you telling parents to get your kids vaccinated. Is the measles vaccine safe . All i can say we vaccinate ours. Thats the best expression i can give you in my opinion. Its much more important when you think as a parent than what you think as a public official. Thats what we do. But i also understand that parents need to have some measure of choice in things as well. Chris earlier today he had said that people should have their own i think they should have their own ability to make decisions a balance. He mentioned this choice just in the last clip. Im a parent and im all for parental rights but theres a lot of ways in which we tell parents how they need to behave. They need to put their kids in car seats and buckle them in seat belts and send the kids to school and also should be vaccinated and should be told to be vaccinating their children because it is a Public Health hazard not just for their own children but everybodys children. Chris, the issue there is also that the president was saying that the science is very clear, that this issue is not one of those issues that is really debatable in terms of science. Thats the problem with christies formulation, its sort of on the one handy vaccinate my kids on the other hand people should have a choice. The science is overwhelmingly clear that vaccinating your children is a good thing, both for them and society. Here chris is the president by the way being very diplomatic when asked by savannah some of his political choices. Quick game of either or. Thats tasty beer. Football or basketball . Im still a basketball guy but love football. Offense or defense . Always offense. Wings or chips or guac . Ill go chips and guac. Hillary clinton or joe biden . Love them both. Good try. I had to try. So chris and ruth we have to go. Smart answer. He thought longer about the guac than about the Biden Clinton answer. I think that one is any time biden and clinton are in one sentence i love them both. Thanks to Kristen Welker who has to run to budget briefings. Thanks as well. New england may have won the super bowl, but they are on the losing end of another winter storm. Can you believe it . A week later, more from boston coming up ahead. This is Andrea Mitchell reports, only on msnbc. [bell rings] youre not mr. Craig. Yeah, im confused wheres mr. Craig . Well, im sorta mr. Craig. Were both between 35 and 45 years old. We both like to save money on car insurance. And were both really good at teaching people a lesson. Um, lets go. Cool. Sit down alright. Sorta you, isnt you. Only esurance has coveragemyway. It helps make sure you only pay for whats right for you not someone sorta like you. I think i blacked out from fear. Did we ask him where mr. Craig was . We did. Esurance. Backed by allstate.

Except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

The fate of a jordanian military pilot held hostage by isis in the balance after the terrorists appear to have beheaded a japanese journalist this weekend. They have ordered heightened security as they mourn the death of kenji goto. President obama spoke exclusively to Savannah Guthrie on today about the u. S. War against isis. You said in your state of the union that American Leadership is helping to stop the advance of isis in syria and iraq. Your critics say that is delusional that in fact theyve gained more territory since the air strikes have begun . Thats not accurate. In iraq what weve seen is both the Iraqi Security forces and Kurdish Forces continue to push back against isil and those same critics, i would imagine would have us redeploy tens and thousands of u. S. Troops. Isnt that a straw man hold on a minute. Let me finish what im say ig. Its entirely possible for us to deploy 200 or 300,000 u. S. Troops. If we dont have inside of iraq or inside of syria or afghanistan both the capacity and will of people to fight for themselves, then any gains that are made eventually dissipate. This takes longer but its the right way to do things. Joining me now is nbcs keir simmons from london and Ayman Mohyeldin from new york. Weve got the isis conflict i want to talk to you about ukraine also. But first, isis what are the options as savannah was pressing the president because he said we were making progress against isis in iraq and syria and critics are saying to me and other people theres little evidence of any progress . Well there is little evidence in the sense that most of the territory that isis took in this push across iraq last year isis is still holding. There have been 34 Coalition Air strikes just in iraq and syria against isis. They are if you like ramping up the pressure. There are reports as well that isis has lost many many fighters, that they have been seriously depleted by this campaign that includes those air strikes and also on the Ground Fighting in iraq by local forces. But it is a difficult to say that theres a break through at this point. When you talk to some of those in baghdad, for example, i was listening just last week to the iraqi Prime Minister saying that he believes that they are making progress and they are ready for another push forward against isis. But at the moment that hasnt really happened yet. And so we wait to see. This is a the president always said this was a Long Term Strategy that might well take months perhaps even years. And of course were waiting to hear about the fate of the jordanian pilot from a prominent tribe, very prominent family. A lot of pressure on king abdullah. They made the offer to swap to trade the pilot for this woman terrorist who failed the suicide bomber, an extraordinary offer and that hasnt been accepted because they havent proved he is still alive. Theres been a serious holdup from the jordanian side. They want to make sure the pilot is safe. They asked to try and secure some proof of life that would allow them then to go ahead and proceed with this deal. The jordanian government as you mentioned is coming under pressure. The father of the pilot is critical of the jordanian government for getting involved in the Coalition Effort against isis and also been the king has also been coming under pressure from the more conservative hard liners within the kingdom questioning whether or not jordan should be part of the coalition. The Jordanian Foreign minister shot that down on sunday saying his country is very much part of the coalition because it is jordans fight, not just the United States fight. They feel this is in their own national interest. When it comes down to the jordanian pilot. The government says it will spare no effort to try to secure his release. In order to go ahead with the deal they need prove of life and isis has not provided that. Right now the United States, weve confirmed that the administration is considering what john mccain has been calling for, which is to arm the ukrainian rebels. Critics say that first of all the Ukrainian Military is notoriously corrupt and arms could be sold to bad guys around the world. And that it would only further set off vatdladimir putin who is empowered by 80 Approval Ratings despite the collapse of the economy. He seems to have more support than ever. Merkel is coming here the white house announced next week. Kerry is going to kiev this week and munich security conference. What do you see the wisdom of making a decision to arm the rebels . Yeah i think the really crucial question is as you allude to is trying to understand what the russian government is thinking primarily what president putin is thinking. How he will react to any move like this by the u. S. They are talking about sending 3 billion worth of arms armored hum vees and radars that could locate enemy rocket fire. The problem, andrea of course is that if the u. S. Does this, will putin talk about this as a provokation and use it as an excuse or reason to act more in ukraine. We already know that despite the socalled cease fire prorussian rebels in ukraine have been gaining territory with the support of moscow. Moscow may use a further western intervention as a reason to do that more. And they have even been comment ators who have pointed out that perhaps putin would like a further confrontation, maybe to test the will of nato and maybe also because it would increase potentially the price of oil, which would then mean that russia would effectively boost its own economy because of course russia was very dependent on the price of oil. Its an incredibly different strategic call to make. But what we know now is that washington is thinking about making it. No easy problems. No easy solutions. Thank you very much. Keir simmons and Ayman Mohyeldin in new york. Australian journalist peter grest has been released by egypts government. He was arrested in september of 2013 over the Network Coverage of the crackdown following morsi. Cause of repeated complaints by john kerry to al siscy and others. Hes looking forward to watching a few sunsets and spending time with his family. The others still remain in jail. So it was a very difficult moment walking out of that prison saying goodbye to those guys and not knowing how much longer they will have to put up with this. The ride to the airport was a sense of wondering if it was all going to come to an end because we had an awful lot of false starts with this and false alarms and moments when we thought freedom was close, if not imminent only to have it snatched away. I dont want to let myself really believe it was happening until i got my back side on the seat on the plane with my brother mike and we knew then that it for me at least, this is over.

After slamming the midwest, a vicious winter storm is sweeping across the northeast today as boston and other new england cities were still digging out from last weeks blizzard. Today a mix of snow and ice creating treacherous conditions from new york city to maine. Morning after celebrating a super bowl victory in boston the mayor declared a snow emergency and airlines canceled more than 5,000 flights because of the winter storm. In chicago, where people know something about snow they are digging out from the fifth bigsest snowstorm ever to hit the windy city. Heres the latest from chicago. Reporter weve got 750 odd Flights Canceled on top of 1200 flights yesterday. There were a lot of people here at ohare trying to get out of dodge. A lot of people had to spend the night sleeping here in the airport, which is not recommended under any circumstances. Weve already had 19 plus inches of snow over the last couple of days. Yesterday set a record and a lot of people are trying to push cars out of snow bank. Interestingly enough snow is a big deal when it comes to the political season here in chicago. One mayor in the past actually already lost his job because he didnt get the streets cleaned in time. Weve got a mayor alley leks over the next few months and ive got to tell you mayor rahm emanuel is doing his best to get the snow off the roads, 250 snow plows are helping him ensure he keeps his job and gets everyone back to work. He knows about constituent politics and ron allen near down ton boston checking on Road Conditions in the nbcs bloom mobile. Youve been driving around. What does it look like there . Reporter its getting better. If you look out in front of us you can see theres the blacktop and see some traffic going across this bridge. This is summer street by the way. Not looking very summery obviously. The big problem here is what you see on the side of the road these huge piles of snow. They are everywhere. On id streets still cars that havent moved. This is the fourth storm in the past number of days past week or so. A lot of snow that they are trying to get rid of and the mayor Just Announced recently that they are in fact going to have a super bowl victory parade through the streets of boston 11 00 a. M. Despite all of this snow. Its going to be cold too. But they are going to do it from the Prudential Center downtown through to city hall. There wont be a big rally at city hall because he expected it to be so cold. One reason they think that a lot of players are going to be leaving to get out of town. They dont live in the area or trying to get out for summer holidays. But at the moment the big concern here is that a lot of snow, a lot of blowing and drifting snow and making driving conditions very difficult. But again as we go through the day, snow starts to ease up has been easing up and starting to get rain later in the day. Its about and i think we just lost ron allen but we got the gist. If i know boston yans theyll be out there for that parade. The players have to of course go to disney world, right . Before we go there was this moment from last nights super bowl which made many of us here at msnbc laugh quite a bit. You know you were talking about Chris Matthews the offensive coordinator named him the hard bull and this Chris Matthews the sea hawks Chris Matthew, every time i wikipedia myself it comes up the other day. A little hardball with Chris Matthews down the field. This is the one. This offense was stuck in the mud until matthews made that play. Six seconds to go who do you throw it too . Then down the field up maybe a little pushoff. Gets away with it. He has been the difference in the game. And our Chris Matthew is also a game changer for msnbc. You see, they arent that different.

Air rage incidents make the news because anyone with a cell phone camera can capture it on video. What happens when the person is removed from the plane. Heres more from this story. Reporter good afternoon to you. The faa says this has been a problem for years, disruptive angry, even violent passengers. In fact over the last 20 years, it has taken action against 4,000 passengers. Hands up hands up rarely does it come to this. July 25th a s. W. A. T. Team storms a commercial airliner in toronto after an angry passenger began making threats while in the air. More often its simply bad behavior. Screaming and spitting and hitting or refusing to obey Flight Attendant. The most common contributor, alcohol. On average they get 150 air rage reports each year. Flight attend ents insist they deal with rude passengers almost daily. The planes are fuller than theyven about. Seats are closer together and theres fewer amenities and fewer attendants to deescalate the problems. They can fine a passenger up to 25,000 per offense an investigation has found the faa often settles for far less. A drunk and violent passenger in 2012 fined 15,000 paid nothing because of Financial Hardship. A passenger who pushed a Flight Attendant in 2009 finds 6100 but only paid 1,000. A disruptive passenger in 2012 fined 5,000 settled for 200. In a statement the faa tells nbc news the repercussions for passengers who engage in unprully behavior can be substantial and acts as a deterrent. Normally i tell the lead Flight Attendant you need to inform them they need to sit down and comply or we will divert and press charges. But experts say the planes themselves are part of the problem. Its the way youre sitting back there and the tightness and confinement. Air rage, it seems may simply be a fact of flying. Between 2009 and 2013 the faa leveed more than 1 million in fines but collected only 43 of that because once attorneys get involved, very often its all negotiated down and blamed on Substance Abuse or Financial Hardship or also on just living experiences that people might be going through at that moment.

And now introducing aleve pm for a better am. Welcome back republicans already say that president obamas new budget which was revealed today is already dead on arrival. Not surprisingly. Maryland democratic congressman Chris Van Hollen joins me now. What can you salvage from this . I know this is the opening arguments but at this point with so many republicans in the majority in the house, where do you go on this budget fight . Well andrea i think theres some burden on Congressional Republicans to say why they oppose the president s budget approach which after all is focused on the idea that the entire economy does better when we address the issue of wage stagnation and frozen paychecks. The idea the president has, lets provide more tax relief to folks in the middle and provide more opportunities in the form of education and training and apprenticeship so that everybody in the country can do better. Its disappointing to hear them so quickly say no to that in favor of what theyve already called for, which is this trickledown economics idea the idea that youve got to get another round to folks at the top and miraculously that will help everybody else. It hasnt worked. I think theyve got to do a little better than just say no. There are a couple of areas in infrastructure and dealing with the sequester where i hope we can carve out some Common Ground. I wanted to ask you about ukraine because youre an expert on Foreign Policy and now we have leaks from the administration that they are considering arming the rebels in ukraine. Where fighting has heated up and Vladimir Putin seems to be doubling down. As you know, the russian supported rebels have been increasing the fighting. The counter argument from some democrats as well is that the Ukrainian Military is corrupt, that these weapons would be traded or would leak to our other enemies to terror groups and that they are not well trained enough to even use the weapons were talking about. Well, andrea i think these things do go hand in hand. Ip support of idea of providing the Ukrainian Military with additional equipment lethal equipment . Including lethal equipment, but again, this is the other half of that story. Lethal equipment doesnt do any good at all if its in the hands of people who are not trained. So i think that there has to be some mechanism for making sure that theres improvement in the training in the Ukrainian Military. Look russia and the russian supported rebels have essentially been ignoring the ceasefire. I think its appropriate that in addition to the economic sanctions, that the United States and our European Partners imposed that we also look at additional measures. I agree with those who say it needs to be done in a careful way that addresses the training issue. And what about the argument that chancellor merkel of germany coming here has lost her leverage within the European Union with the leftist government elected in greece opposing the imposition of tougher european sanctions and siding with vat mir putin . I know there was initially back and forth between the new greek government and e. U. And sanctions on russia. My understanding is that greece is now coming around at least on that point. So i hope we can maintain the pressure and of course the other main Pressure Point on the russian economy are the Falling Oil Prices that are being experienced. So the problem so far, andrea that combination of Falling Oil Prices and sanctions, while they have helped squeeze the russian economy, they have not at least to date caused Vladimir Putin to back off in any significant way, which is why i think we have to look at these other measures but again carefully as we were just discussing. Did we bait the bear too much by the sanctions policy we couldnt have predicted the drop in oil to these low levels which squeezed him. Should we be instead considering some back channel overtours to putin . I think that putin was going to play this game regardless of whether or not we impose sanctions. Even before we impose sanctioned, of course he sent forces into crimea. I always think we should keep open the possibility of some kind of negotiation, unfortunately, so far, putin has undermined the cease fire efforts. Thank you very much. Well be right back.
