Transcripts For MSNBCW Andrea Mitchell Reports 20170626

The question is if he had the information, why didnt he do something about it . He should have done something about it, why didnt we read that . Its quite sad. The Supreme Court giving the Trump Administration a partial victory when it comes to its controversial travel ban, announcing it will hear the case in the fall and will allow the began in some cases. Pete first to you, lets start with the travel ban. Reporter unanimous granting of the travel ban, which is what the administration wanted which is the court agreed to hear the travel ban to decide whether its unconstitutional or legally. The Trump Administration said please let us enforce the ban while youre getting ready to hear the case. Heres the deal, if someone is applying for a visa from one of the six affected countriecountr of the six muslim countries, unless the people applying for a visa, unless they have a close familial relationship with someone in the United States or theyre coming here to take a job they have been offered or theyre coming here to teach or study at a university, theyll still be able to get visas and the same goes for refugees. If refugees know someone in the u. S. , have a close relationship with someone in the u. S. , theyll be able to get their visas. Otherwise for the First Time Since the president took office hell now be able to begin to enforce at least part of this travel restriction for the next 90 days. I want to get to view on that in just a moment, but first some Quick Reaction from Kristen Welker at the white house, to this partial victory at least, i guess thats what theyll likely be declaring. Reporter theyre casting this in the wind. For a unanimous the District Courts got it wrong is a major legal event. So expect to hear more of that type of language coming out of the administration today, we expect sean spicer to hold his briefing at 1 30, thats going to be offcamera. But he will clearly be pressed on this. President trump is going to have a joint statement with the Prime Minister of india at 5 00 p. M. Today. So well shout some questions at him there. But the bottom line is this is one of the president s Signature Campaign promises and the Supreme Court has said that part of it can move forward until they hear the case in august. This is an order that has been held up in a number of different courts, it has been highly controversial. Of course a number of people saying it amounts to a ban on muslims, thats something that trump talked about on the campaign trail and its language he has since backed away from to try to get this travel ban enforced. Back to pete, theres other decisions and actually decisions to take up cases, take them in the order of importance as far as youre concerned, churchstate . Reporter remember, the courts not saying that the lower courts got it wrong, thats the issue its going to hear in the fall. Yes, the Supreme Court today for the first time said that states may not always ban giving taxpayer money to churches. So the court today chipped away at the law of separation between church and state. This is a major decision on religious freedom, this is one of the most important such decisions in decades. This comes from the Lutheran Church who wanted to resurface their playgrounds with rubber made from recycled tires. The state said sorry, we cant give you the money, we have a provision in our constitution that absolutely bans taxpayer money for churches and today the Supreme Court said that those sorts of laws and they are in 39 states, they are unconstitutional as a matter of religious discrimination, andrea. Lets talk also on this anniversary, of course two years ago of the division on samesex marriage, such as kennedy writing that majority opinion. But lets talk about the samesex marriage or a gay rights issue, involving the bake bakery, theyre taking that case up . Reporter the court today without even hearing arguments, just on the basis of the written documents said arkansas was wrong that it had to stop a practice there, that two samesex couples, wanted to put both names on the birth certificate. And today the Supreme Court said wait a minute, if its a woman giving birth and the father that she marries is not the childs father, his name goes on the birth certificate, so why wouldnt you put both names on in a samesex marriage circumstance. The Supreme Court has been chewing on this case now since january. The Supreme Court will hear the case of a bakery that said that he would not bake a cake for a wedding for a samesex couple. He said im an artist and youre asking me to express a view i dont agree with. So the Supreme Court will hear s an appeal. I should note one other big thing that happened here today, the court today refused to take up a challenge from coloraalifo which is undoubtedly the biggest gun issue yet nationwide. The court said you can have a gun at home for selfdefense. So the big question is, ever since then, for the last nine years has been, what about outside the home . Can you have a gun outside the home . Can you get a concealed carry this was a change in california, can you get a ban on concealed carry and the court declined to hear it. The most conservative justices thomas and gorsuch said that this is a mistake, that the court is treating the second ar amendment as a second class right. And no word on Justice Kennedy on his retirement, whether hes going to announce something later, we dont know, you would have thought it would have come today. Pete williams, thanks so much. Thanks kristen for that Quick Reaction. And joining us now is al franken who is a member of the Senate Judiciary committee and the author of the book giants of the senate. Your reaction to the Supreme Court deciding that its going to consider the travel ban. Say a refugee from syria or a family of refugees, if they i dont know exact ly whether thi would prevent them from coming here, these are people fleeing from terror, we have one of the worst humanitarian crises since world war ii. I think our role as a nation is to take people who are refugees from wartorn nations. I want to ask you about the russian investigation, particularly because we know a lot more now. There was an in depth report about the struggle that president obama had to what candidate donald trump was saying about rigged elections and then credence to that. Partly because they did expect that Hillary Clinton would win, as did most people, including most of the media. Therefore thought that she would follow up in punishment against russia. With all of this, the president now saying and tweeting, well, im learning for the first time that russia was involved, why didnt obama do more, he choked with sort of cherry picking one quote from one reporter in the Washington Post. What would you say about president obama being too cautious . I think they should have announced earlier that it was going on, this is with the benefit of height sight, of course. Its very true, that trump was saying the election is rigged and they didnt want to play into that narrative, and i think that informed their decision, unfortunately. And its kind of interesting to me that trump is saying that he found out for the first time that russia did this. And i think its startling to hear from Jeff Sessions that he has not heard a conversation about russia hacking, hes the top official at the justice department. Not talking to the president about what we need to do to prevent this from happening again. And sean spicer says hes never talked to him and the president himse himself to prevent that all the intelligence agencies were pretending to say this. I find it shocking and suspicious. Suspicious in the sense that we have reported back in august, that we in the campaign, candidate trump received a National Security briefing including the russian elements. How can he say this is the first hes heard of it. The intelligence Officials Say they have not had enough cooperation and the Judiciary Committee has not heard from the attorney general as Dianne Feinstein and senator grassly as complained. And the chairman and the Ranking Member have done this together and we have oversight over the justice development, with the Judiciary Committee, the attorney general should be testifying before us, either to defend his budget in all matters of other things. We do oversight and not just on the russian investigation, and of course the attorney general gave us false testimony in answer to a question of mine, he answered a different question, said he had not met with russians during the election that turned out not to be the case, he didnt correct that for seven weeks and the Washington Post said he had two meetings at least with kislayak, the russian ambassador, and since then, it seems that attorney general sessions is really not taken any kind of responsibility for that, hes blamed me a couple of times, but i just asked him a question that he didnt answer. He chose to answer a different question. And he said i hadnt met with any russians and that turned out not to be true. There seems to be kind of collective amnesia when it comes to talking with watrussians. This whole investigation may come down to what did the president know and what did his soninlaw tell him. Theres still reports of deals with deutsch bank and loans at critical points. Are you going to be able to get to the bottom of this . Or are you counting on muellers investigation and his subpoena power . I think bob mueller is the right guy to be doing this, we shouldnt be rushing into these sorts of things. He needs to have the know how to do this kind of investigation. I think we just need to see where the facts lead. Al franken, giant of the senate. I know youre out in l. A. , and thats because you got a life time Achievement Award from the press corps over there, youre way too young to be getting a lifetime Achievement Award, but congratulations. Up next, mazie hirono, now her public battle with the American Health care bill. Theres nothing more important to me than my vacation. So when i need to book a hotel, i want someone who makes it easy to find what i want. Booking. Com gets it. And with their price match, i know im getting the best price every time. Cmon, gary your Summer Vacation is very important. Thats why booking. Com has great offers up to 40 off now through july 4th. Find great deals now at booking. Com booking. Yeah we are all one diagnosis away from a serious illness. For me, from a routine physical a month ago, my doctor told me i had kidneyancer. Mitch mcconnell and donald trump can try to jam this bill down our throats, but we arent going to let them succeed and they will be held accountable. The Health Care Battle is personal for democratic senator mazie horano from hawaii. Thank you very much. First of all, how are you doing . Im held, aloha, andreandrea. I know you have health insurance, my employer gives me health insurance, im a cancer survivor, so we are covered. Its hard to imagine what this challenge is for those of us who are not covered. What about the congressional budget office, are we hearing from them any moment as to what the numbers are . And this Senate Version covers the 23 million that would be uninsured under the house bill . Even if it covers 13 million fewer and not the 23 million, its still a bad health care bill. This is a huge, huge tax break for the richest people in our country, on the backs of the poorest and sickest in our country. And especially angela, you and i will both be deemed to have preexisting conditions, there are over half a Million People with preexisting conditions, and under this Senate Version, they will probably have to live with yearly limits and lifetime limits and thats basically a death sentence for a lot of people with serious illnesses in our country. It senator, another big factor is the impact on women, there were no women involved in the Republican Group who worked on the bill, despite some of your republican female colleagues to get into it. What is your message to senator collins and lisa murkowski, who have other concerns as well, they want to see how opiods and other issues affecting our states, but what about planned parenthood . Should be that a bottom line issue . Well, its certainly the bottom line issue for so many of us, because as we all know, planned parenthood provides care, they certainly. To what they need to be raising. But again, the fact that 13 guys were shunted off somewhere, sequestered, to put this bill together, including, you know, at least to the kind of statements such as one of my colleagues who said, why should i pay for pregnancy care im never going to get pregnant. Doesnt he understand that insurance is all about spreading the risks over as many people as possible, so as to lower the costs for everyone and to provide coverage for everyone, that is the basic function of insurance, and some of my colleagues dont seem to get that. This is not about insurance, this bill is all about a trillion dollar tax break on the backs of people least able to contend with the consequences. And as a member of the Judiciary Committee, i wanted to ask about the Supreme Court decision today, the president in his Statement Released just a few minutes ago, is calling it a complete victory, he says to make unanimous Supreme Court decisions is clear in the National Security is at least a partial reinstatement of the travel ban from at least six muslim majority countries. Its still a muslim ban and by lifting part of the injunction, by creating a category of people who are trying to come in, to try and create a bona fide relationship, i dont know what that means, and by the way, neil gorsuch who i did not support as a Supreme Court justice, hes joined two of the most conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and al lito and the court to take the position that the entire injunction should have been lifted. This is like the three horsemen of the apocalypse, theyre waiting for the fourth one to come along so they can go on their trend to what i call our extremism. And thats exactly not surprised at all that neil gorsuch is right in there with thomas alito pretty much telling the president , you go right ahead, impose a muslim ban, im glad the other justices are not there quite yet. Thank you so much, thanks for being with us and good luck with your treatment in the coming days and weeks. Thank you so much.

The opiod crisis is a big deal in ohio, particularly affecting rob portmans vote on the health care bill, which slashes the money for treatment in this growing epidemic. Here is jacob soberof who is investigating the crisis. Reporter overdoses are now killing more americans than ever before and ohio is the epicenter in that epidemic. As politicians back in washington debate the particulars of that health care bill, the death toll continues to skyrocket daily because of a drug so powerful you could die just by touching it. In what local Officials Say is the overdose capital of america, Montgomery County sheriff has fentanyl, which is used legally in chronic pain management, but now its sold illegally as a street drug. We have 800 people die of overdoses, were number one in the nation in overdose deaths. People are depressed, theyre selfmedicating. In may, ohio already passed last year in total deaths. This man had a 1,000yard stare, was out of it. Now hes in the back of the ambulance there. You literally walked in to cash a check and came back and got in an accident and told the police he was on fentanyl . Yes his eyes were glassy. What did he say to you . He said i love you. What did you say to him . What is it like to go through . Hell. Every day is hell. How often do the bodies come here in and every day bodies are cycling through here . This area will be full here tonight. We are averaging 60 to 70 of our cases now are overdoses. Fentanyl is made in china and smuggled into the u. S. By cartels to sell, if Law Enforcement cant get to them first. You see any narcotics yet . There is narcotics. Do you want to explain why you have to put these masks on . You breathe it in, you could die. Its a good day, basically youre seeing a lot of lives saved right there. Another way of saving addicts lives is to lock them up. In the county jail, theres entire wing of women in withdrawal. What drug do you use . Fentanyl . Are you going through withdrawal right now . Yes. How do you feel . Like crap. Do you know anybody else whos died . Yes, my boyfriend, and my mom just died in january. Im sorry. If any of your family or friends catch us on tv, what do you want them to know . That i love them. And im sorry. Local Officials Say they need more help from the federal government there not less, according to the Los Angeles Tim times, over a third of Addiction Treatment centers means collins and in their states and across america, this crisis continues to play out, andrea, every single day. And in fact in this new health care bill, what are the numbers . 45 billion is what portman and others have asked for a 10year period. Whats in the bill right now is just 2 billion for fiscal year 2018 alone. And we still have yet to see what the white house is doing on one of Jared Kushners baskets included in reforming government, middle east peace and hes a little distracted i suspect by some of these other investigations. When you go to ohio and talk to people on the ground, none of this is enough to solve whats happening there, its why jails are housing people, makeshift detox centers, sheriffs are going to schools talking to children. And to hopefully scare not just people that are using these drugs, but people in washington, d. C. Into actually stepping up and helping solve this crisis. We have been viewing, seeing this series for the last couple of days, your incredible reporting, also whats happening in appalachia where so many people are unemployed . Its not just krdrug addicts its not just about dealers, its a lot about unemployment. This is about people feeling lying theyre destitute, they have no other options. In dayton, ohio, where i was, the Automotive Industry picked up and left, gm picked up and left. And it makes solving this crisis even harder. So at a time when its worse than ever, were on the verge of seeing washington pull back from funding this in a way that local officials feel is very significant and necessary. Your reporting is very necessary and thank you so much for sharing. I was there with you last night on your lifetime Achievement Award. And coming up, off the sidelines, the race bringing former president obama back to the campaign trail. The current Lieutenant Governor joins us next.

Because the time to think about tomorrow is today. Former president obama is expected to campaign for the First Time Since he left office when he hits the stump for the democratic nominee in virginias offyear governors race. The latest quinnipiac poll shows the states incumbent Ralph Northam and republican ed gillespie. Ralph northam joins us. Welcome. What about president obama . Is anything scheduled yet . Because we havent seen him taking an overtly political role. Congratulations on your lifetime Achievement Award. I called president obama and we had a great discussion and we are very thankful and excited that hes going to help us out in 2017, so we look forward to the details of that. So you havent scheduled anything yet . No, we havent scheduled anything yet. When you run against gillespie, the president s popularity is still below water in virginia, but its famously a state thats part southern, part not, you got federal workers, and military installations in the tide water. Is it a referendum on donald trump . Well, i think andrea when we listen to virginians we have worked very hard here. We have had great success, we have had close to 200,000 jobs in the commonwealth of virginia. Unemployment is the lowest its been in nine years, so people want a job in west virginia. Everybodys going to have a day where they get sick and want to go see a provider, im a pediatric neurologist, so i understand it better than anybody. The plan thats on the table will put 23 million americans at risk for their coverage, especially those with preexisting conditions its just something we find immoral and unacceptable. And theres no better time for a person like me to be at the table who understands health care. Let me show you something which was one of your primary campaign ads. This is very relevant. So let me play a little bit for our viewers. Being a pediatrician has taught me to listen carefully. Im Ralph Northam, so when democrats asked me to talk about gun control. I saw what those weapons can do as an army doctor during the gulf war, now im listening to donald trump, i think hes a narcissistic maniac, whatever you want to call him, wiere no letting him bring his hate into virginia. A lot of medical associations have criticized you as a doctor for this diagnosis, the armchair diagnosis of a narcissistic maniac, did you go too far as the president of the United States . If anybody looks up the definition of a narcissist, they will see that he meets a lot of those criteria, as i said, were very concerned with what were seeing in washington, theres hatred and bigotry coming out of washington. Thats not what the Democratic Party, thats not what virginia is about. Were about inclusivity in virginia. Thats why were so successful in bringing in the number of jobs we have, and Terry Mcauliffe is a great part of the team. Are you at all concerned that the Democratic Party is now 0 for 4 against donald trump and the republicans in all these congressional midterm special elections . I think we were disappointed, i think we werent successful in those campaigns, virginia is becoming bluer every day, were going to have a great ticket to run on this year, our attorney general Justin Fairfax is the candidate for governor, we have great delegate candidates running. So we think this years going to be a great year for democrats in the commonwealth of virginia. Thanks for being with us today. And coming up, supreme victory . President trump scoring a partial win. The main event is still this fall. What were watching for next, right here on andrandrea mitch report reports, next on msnbc. This is humira helping to relieve my pain.

Trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims into the United States until our representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. That was trump on the campaign trail when he first announced the travel ban right after san bernardino. The Supreme Court today permitting a partial implementation of the ban while taking up the case for review in the fall. Lets go to Jonathan Capehart opinion writer for the Washington Post, and a New York Times reporter and shes also an msnbc contributor and msnbcs katie tur. You were there in South Carolina when he first announced the ban, a lot of territory has been traversed since. There will be an argument, a hearing and an argument in the fall. But he is going to for the first time now going to be able to implement the ban partly from those six muslim companies. Anybody that doesnt have ties to a Family Member or an employer in this country are going to be denied visas. Donald trump is able for the first time to now say that he is victorious on this issue, at least partially, theyre going to claim a total victory on it because thats normally what they do. Remember, this is what he campaigned on, this was a core part of his campaign, he announced it december 7, 2015. He was campaigning on it for a full nine, ten months after that that terror to be the strongest on terror, the toughest even when it was politically incorrect. Hes able to go to his constituents saying i delivered this to you despite all of the pushback and the grief that i got during the campaign and now the Supreme Court is deciding to uphold part of it for now and theyre going to argue it later. But remember, just to bring you back to the time when he did this, this was a moment that everybody assumed he would crater, that he was torpedoing his campaign. Washington said he would never be able to get past this. But in that room at this moment, the supporters loved it. We couldnt find anybody who felt negatively towards it. Everybody thought he was doing what he needed to do. A lot of them wanted him to go and deport the muslims at that time, from the country. I think we had a msnbc poll that said 60 of the americans thought their biggest fear was being attacked by a terrorist attack. This is a big issue, and the Supreme Court saying part of it can go forward until we hear the rest of the arguments in the fall. And hes choosing to speak to the unanimous ruling that they should hear the case in the fall and ignore of on how the court was divided to approve this. They have not decided the issue of whether or not all of his statements during the campaign and since hes been in Office Amount to a discriminatory ban on muslims. Sorry. It was a little hard to hear you. From my understanding the Supreme Court has not ruled that. Youre correct in that. I would echo what katy said, the idea that he can say for the first time after a really that mule courthouse start, he can now point to his base saying they were saying i couldnt do this, i can do this. Whats important for me as a journalist to understand is that the long game that the republicans played here, the republicans did a lot of politically incorrect things to get to this moment. Mitch mcconnell who said barack obama could not have another Supreme Court pick. And now you see neil gorsuch sitting on the Supreme Court making important decisions. This is going to be a decision that tells us how the president can move forward on immigration. And the cake bakers, theres going to be an argument as to whether businesses can deny services to gay couples because of their religious beliefs. Theres a ruling say that the states can give money to religious organizations. Were seeing the rights idea, the republican ideals being fortified by the Supreme Court that they picked and they played the long game to get. And jonathan, this is actually the second anniversary of the landmark ruling Justice Kennedys key role in all of that in gay marriage and now you have kind of partial decisions today in that, theyre taking up the case of the baker who wants to discriminate or have the right to not bake for gay weddings which could be, if it comes down against gay rights, a much broader ruling in fact against all sorts of protected minority groups. And also the ruling in the other case that birth certificates have to include the gay parent. So its kind of a mixed message in terms of gay rights today. Right. Its a bit mixed, especially compared to what we were doing at this point two years ago, the way the nation was celebrating. But look, the decisions that came down today make should make it clear to everybody, particularly democrats who are in the middle of a circular firing squad fighting with each other that lxs have consequences. And talking about the long game, yeah, the republicans played the long game when it came to the Supreme Court and now the court has an ideological balance that could tip if another justice retires from the Supreme Court and a lot of, and a lot of the sort of progress i puive push by progressive i mean extending the opportunity to be fully and whole participants in the American Dream will tilt the other way. And so i think that for the American People and particularly lgbt americans who are looking at these decisions that this is a warning that they have to keep their eyes on the ball, they have to be vigilant to make sure that the rights the hard fought rights that they won two years ago dont get chipped away in such a way that our rights as gay americans are chipped away even further, that our rights as people of color or minorities are chipped away. I think angela, you just said if cake bakers case could have broader implications for other people in this country who arent lgbt. And you know, we wont know what that case will look like until the arguments are made at the Supreme Court. But this is a big deal. Split but a big deal. Thank you so much.
