If you did have it, its the democratss fault. On the wall, we are building a wall and we are using other methods other than this and in addition this. We have a lot of things going. Friday is the deadline for the deal to be approved by the house, senate, and the president. The agreement is yet to be put in writing. It provides 1. 3 billion for border barrier enhancements, vastly less than the 5. 7 billion demand that the president made to shut the government down the last time. President trump is getting pressure from the usual suspects, not to budge on his hall. Sean hannity called it a garbage proposal and despite blaming democrats ahead of time, they signed off on the deal and urged the president to sign it as well. I strongly urge the president to sign this agreement. No one gets everything they want in these agreements. The president must sign it and not, not, not cause another shut down. But will he . Joining me from the white house is Geoff Bennett with the latest. There is pressure on the president to sign it and from some people not to. Where is he on this . Heres what we know based on our own reporting and the president s own words earlier today in the cabinet room. The trump era caveat that this is subject to change because the president is unpredictable. We accept the president doll this in a compromise he doesnt like. Since it gives him a fraction of the 5. 7 billion he demanded to build his border wall, through executive action the president will cobble together more money to build a bigger wall than is called for in this congressional compromise. He would do that by redirecting unspent federal dollars. Reprogramming. He would reprogram unspent Defense Department money and also move money away from federal Disaster Relief projects in california and puerto rico. Take a listen to what else the president had to say earlier in the cabinet room. Am i happy at first glance . I just got to see it. The answer is no, im not. Im not happy. But am i happy with where were going . Im thrilled. We are supplementing things and moving things around and doing things that are fantastic and taking from far less important areas. We are building a lot of wall. Right now we are building a lot of wall. This wouldnt require congressional approval and stops short of declaring a national emergency, but its controversial and still sparks Court Challenges and you can bet the members of Congress Expected to have the money in the districts in puerto rico and california will have a lot to say about this. A lot of people are going to be unhappy with the idea of taking money away from far less important areas when the important areas involve Disaster Relief. There are right wing importants who have done what they did last time. They urged him not to. Has the president responded to any of that . Not directly, but you have ann coulter saying this is a yellow new deal. Thats her phrase. Sean hannity saying this is garbage. The president said he is not happy or thrilled about it. He has a different job than the two of them. He as president of the United States has a responsibility to keep the government open to provide for the safety and security of the American People. All those people have to do is peddle an opinion. Will he do the job he was elected to do . Geoff bennett at the white house. Lets talk about what is in this tentative agreement in principal. We mentioned we havent seen the bill in written form. Sources provided important details. As we mentioned, it provides 1. 375 billion for border barrier enhancement that involves steel slats, existing technologies and it would limit funding to 55 miles of new barrier with restrictions on where the fencing could be built. Based on the supporting, there is no money, zero to fund a concrete wall. It provides 1. 7 billion in new funding for Border Security to the department of homeland security. That money would be dedicated to Border Security and that includes technology at ports of entry, additional customs officers and humanitarian aid. Democrats dropped the limit on detention spaces under immigration and Customs Enforcement or ice. 40,520 new spaces which are referred to as detention beds, but there were 49,057 in detention as of february 6th. President trump wanted 50,000. An ice spokesman said the average daily population was 45,671. Keep in mind a deadline to get a deal pass side friday and this needs to pass the house and the senate before they can sign off. Three full days left to avert another government shut down. With that, lets bring in kasie hunt, host of kasie kc. They need to get it done by friday, ali. I will say more time is better up here, but sometimes they are only motivated by deadlines and they can move quickly once motivated. Keep that in mind as the week continues to unfold. Youre right though, what we are hearing the official line from republican who is came out of a policy lunch is that they want to wait and see the final legislative text before they start declaring their support or urging the president to say one way or another how he stands. Take a look at how the Senate Majority leader characterized it a couple of minutes ago. I hope he signs the bill. Second, i think he ought to feel whatever tools he can legally use to enhance his effort to secure the border. Have you thought about any assurances the president will sign the deal . I havent asked for that. One of the things is you reach an agreement and the deal had to be put on paper. Frequently there is a lot of elbowing after the agreement is reached. I said he as well as all of us ought to wait until we have actually read the final deal. I want to reality check this with you. Mitch mcconnell is right. There is back and forth when you are writing text down on paper. Sometimes they make mistakes and we saw that with the health care bill, however this reads to me and to those that i have talked to here on capitol hill as well as with others on the team that this really seems like a way to kind of feel the president out on this. To put a little bit of distance between themselves and whatever he may do. Quite frankly, they are incredibly nervous about what he is going to do. Last time they felt they had assurances from the vice president. Its eerie. Right before the last shut down, we heard about an agreement on monday night into tuesday morning. We got the agreement on monday night. That tuesday, a week before christmas, i asked Mitch Mcconnell if he was confident we are not going to shut down. He said he was. We learned assurances or what he thought were assurances from mike pence that the president would be on board. You remember the outcry from the right wing, the Freedom Caucus and right wing media started wednesday into thursday. You have seen that start. Sean hannity saying this is a bad deal for the president. A couple days later, he changed his mind and we were headed for the longest shut down in history. Is history going to repeat itself . Right now it feels like its fine and congress has it together. They dont always, but they do in this case. But we are back to the point where its back to the capriciousness of this president. If he learned anything from the second kick of the mule or if he is looking for the third one. This was exactly where we were the last time and we probably said similar things and now good point. We hope they can have a nice valentines day on thursday night because it will Say Something wonderful also about the state of our union. Bad news. Always good to see you. I agree. I dont want to see you all week and particularly into the weekend. Casey hunt on capitol hill. A jury decided the fate of the mexican drug trafficker, Joaquin El Chapo guzman. El chapo was found guilty on all 10 count on the indictment of murder, conspiracy, Money Laundering that span 25 years and he faces in prison at his sentencing on june 25th. They seize 14 billion in assets. This is a long trial. 35 days of testimony from 56 witnesses. The prosecution argued that el chapo trafficked 440,000 pounds of drugs into the United States, smuggling the drugs through tunnels and ports of entries and trucks and boats, as a key detail, i want to hone into how drugs are coming in. They painted a vivid image of the techniques. Some were hidden in passenger cars. Others concealed in trucks in cans of jalapenos in one case. Almost all went through legal check points rather than isolated stretches of the border. El chapo was used of running the Sinaloa Cartel by murder, kidnapping and torture. Cash payoffs and ordered hits were a key part of the operations. Witnesses accused him of paying off members of the Mexican Government at every level from the local police to an alleged 100 million bribe to the former mexican president. That has not been proven. He is said to have ordered the deaths of dozens of rivals and informants. They insist his role in the Sinaloa Cartel is exaggerated and the real boss remains on the loose in mexico. Joining us from the courthouse in brooklyn where el chapos trial took place. What have we heard from both sides in the hour since the verdict . You might say its a story of victory and defeat. The Defense Attorneys are saying he remains positive and plans to appeal that he was stoic when the verdict was read in the courtroom. Saying nothing and they say he is continuing to be positive. As for the prosecution, its a sweeping success after they say having worked on this case for 10 years. Take a listen. This conviction is a victory for the American People who have suffered so long and so much while guzman made billions pouring poison over our southern border. This conviction say victory for the mexican people who have lost more than 100,000 lives in drugrelated violence. This conviction is a victory for every family who lost a loved one to the black home of addiction. We fought like complete savages and left it all on the battlefield for joaquin guzman. It has been an absolute honor and a pleasure. An honor to represent joaquin guzman. If you cant represent him as a defense lawyer, you shouldnt represent anyone. As for what happened in the courtroom when the verdict was read, he patted his heart and looked at his wife, the mother of two twin daughters and nodded his head. The judge on the other hand commended the jury and said in 13 years as a trial judge, he had never seen any jury pay more attention to detail than in this particular case. Thanks very much from brooklyn. Joining us to take a closer look at the trial, former u. S. Attorney for the district of arizona. His office prosecuted a case connected with one of the first tunnels under the arizonamexico border and currently a partner at the firm. I will ask my director to put up some of these pictures of the tunnels so one doesnt misinterpret. This is not something that somebody dug with a shovel on their own. These are remarkably sophisticate and more fancy than anybodys renovation. These are architecturally constructed tunnels. Tell us about them. It was an architect we convicted while i was a u. S. Attorney in United States who built and designed this tunnel that if you are looking at the pictures and as the jury looked at the pictures would be the envy of any Mining Operation in the United States. When we found this tunnel when it was discovered by american Law Enforcement, we knew we had a sophisticated, well finance and determined opponent on the other side of the line. Talk to me about the biggest take away from the trial. Its remarkable reading the things that came out in trial, but really interesting, the defense calling one witness saying you have got the wrong guy. A couple of thoughts, ali. First, this is prams the most significant conviction of a Cartel Leader in my lifetime. Among Cartel Leaders, chapo guzman was one of the apex killer, a mass murderer that there were at least 33 homicides. One involved an individual buried alive. 11 billion worth of narcotics brought into the United States by this individual and we cant count the number of individual who is died as a result of overdoses from the narcotics that were brought in. A great day for Law Enforcement and as the judge pointed out, a great day for the american criminal Justice System. American that a number of jurors declined to serve on this jury for fear of what might happen to them. These jurors are courageous and to be commended. They were careful and took six days before rendering the verdict. This is a good day for the Justice System and we should be satisfied with this outcome. How does america protect jurors in cases like this. One of the things, the corruption and the category to which the Sinaloa Cartel s reach into high levels of government in mexico. The u. S. Marshal service does a very good job in cases like this. Even when you say cases like this, because this is a rare occurrence. These marshals risk their lives to make sure that the lives of the jurors are well protected. They were protected coming and going. We dont even know the names of the jurors. Not publicly. Thats appropriate. These are individuals we should all thank each if we cant thank them by name. Thank you for joining me. A former u. S. Attorney for the district of arizona. Still to come, nbc news reporting that the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Found no direct evidence of experience between the Trump Campaign and russia.

Its an environmental plan that calls for a complete transition to Renewable Energy by 2030. As the debate over this latest overhaul is set to begin, the city of los angeles is pioneering its own effort to combat Climate Change and improve air quality. The city is ditching manny to spend billions on three natural gas power plants. It has been moving away from relying on coal for electricity. This is months after they passed a bill to transition the state to 100 green energy by 2045. This is the key to keeping the citys lights on. Mayor garcetti, thanks for joining us. Great to be with you. Thanks. You have got to go green in california by mandate, but the fact is this is also a state that had problems managing Energy Output and consumption over the years. They said hey, is this premature . While other parts of the state did, los angeles who owns the largest had steady power and were showing the way to go green. There is a lot of exciting talk about a Green New Deal in washington, d. C. We are implementing it here. This is bad for the marine life and bad for the water and also bat for earth. We are showing a way forward about green jobs and Renewable Energy and saving the earth all at once. Cole is cheap and natural gas is pretty cheap. How does your decision what impact will it have on the cost of energy. The longterm deal is immense. We are seeing that with these close to power plants and we took it with the ciersierra clud others and made the commitment to be 100 renewable. We are the number one solar city in america and we have Renewable Power across the United States and exciting ways to restore it. Whether its with the hoover dam or compressed air or the batteries we can see, we can keep it reliable and cheap and its much cheaper than the cost of inaction. The local level is so critical. Storage of Renewable Energy and how you get it if you are not relying on Niagara Falls or a constant flow of water. How to manage your peak demand versus when you get the peak energy production. How do you think about that . Thats exactly right. One of the things we do, we are looking at a distributive network instead of a few things that are centralized. We can distribute power much more in neighborhoods and put veterans and people who served time in prison back to work. 29,000 green jobs have been generated since have been mayor. 60 that represents all the cole jobs left in america. We are 1 of the population. I share nationally 425 mayors around the country and 47 states. We see democrats, independents and republicans is close down a carbonbased economy and move to something healthier for all of us. Tell me how it goes. 2045 is the goal. How do we get from 2019 to 2045 on a percentage basis. How does it look . We are at 30 renewable when a decade ago we were a fifth of that. It was five fold in 11 years and the cost has come down. Sometimes solar power is cheaper than natural gas at peak hours. This is not just the right thing to do for the world, but the rate payers, too. Well be aggressive and probably exceed our goals in the next decade and a decade after that its renewable. Good to see you as always. Pleasure to be with you. We are getting new reaction to last nights incidents when one of President Trumps supporters attacked a cameraman and other supporters covering the event. An individual involved in a physical altercation with a news cameraman was removed from last nights rally. We appreciate the swift action from venue security and Law Enforcement officers. The president of the White House Correspondents Association said the president of the United States should make clear to his supporters that violence against reporters is unacceptable.

Fresh out for the president ial bid in the cold and snowy minnesota cocked by President Trump, Amy Klobuchar talked about how she prepared for the nickname from the president and the intense media coverage. If you see obstacles as obstacles, you are not going to get through. Youy is them as the path forward, thats the path. You are not a prosecutor runs for years in office with lawyers and murder cases and Everything Else without dealing with adversity and difficult decisions. The same thing in the United States senate. I might have maybe a little more happy demean than some of my colleagues, but it doesnt mean im not steely and tough. The democratic congressman, beto orourke held a counter rally to President Trumps el paso rally, taking direct aim at trumps promise of a border wall. You know who we are apprehending . Kids, children, they are there with their moms or dads who will not take advantage of them. We will not send them back to certain death. We will not believe that calls can or should keep them out. Instead we welcome them with open arms. This, the wealthiest, the most powerful country on the face of the planet can meet this most in our obligations to one another and be all the stronger for it. As we gear up for the next president ial election, one investigation is coming to an end. Senate intelligence chairman richard burr spoke about the probe into the 2016 campaign. They conducted 200 interviews and did not find direct evidence of experience between the Trump Campaign and russia. You have found a link between the Trump Campaign and russia . Im not sure how to put it. We have no factual evidence. As far as what they found, investigators disagree about what to conclude between trump associations and russians. Intelligence and National Security reporterer who who broke the story. Good to see you again. I want to read from your report. They had more than 100 contacts with russians before the january 2017 president ial inauguration. They sifted through 300,000 documents including classified intelligence, shedding light on how the russians communicated about the covert operation to interfere in the 2016 election. It seems to be contrary to conclusions. They got evidence that russians were attempting to interfere and not of collusion or even cooperation. What are he is saying is they dont have evidence of a corrupt pack. A experience out in the open where the Trump Campaign agreed with the russians to accept that help. Democrats would say you dont need that evidence to infer from the hundreds of contacts that something was a miss. For the american public, in the absence of evidence of a experience, what are we left with . Left to infer from a series of contacts, much of which we already know. Thats what people are struggling with. In 300,000 documents, they were not able to connect the necessary dots to bring them to the conclusion. Thats what im told. They have access to highly classified intelligence including intercepts and Intelligence Officers and there is no smoking gun that i have learned about. What they dont have access to is Robert Muellers documents that he obtained from americans through court orders and subpoenas. Robert mueller in particular is looking among other things for obstruction. Did the committee have anything to say . That was not a part of their investigation. We await for Robert Muellers assessment. We are waiting for the senate report. This is sources. We saw burr talking about it, but we dont have a report. They are not completely finished. When they are finished with the witnesses, it will be six or seven months to complete the report and get it declassified. Intelligence and National Security reporter. Ari melber and host of the beat and we could have just brought you in earlier and we could have talked. Im a big fan of ken. There was intention between you. Let me ask you what you make of this. Who is going to look for your car keys harder than you if you are missing. You care about finding the car keys. The question without impugning the work that has been done is whether the committee that shares the same party as the president is going to look for the car keys like robert mueller. Many people think the answer is no as well as the high level of prosecution power that mueller has as a Strong Senate me is does not have. There is space there, although they may find the same thing. Whether or not we get to see the Mueller Report and the senates in allowing us to see it. When the report comes in, it goes to the department of justice and we may hear its in, but not whats in it. The former trump lawyer, john dowd spoke to kiera phillips. Lets listen to that. So john s word is the Mueller Report is going to drop within the next couple of weeks. I dont think there will be a report. The rules of the Department Said no report. You are saying its going to be a flop . Youre saying were not going i will be shocked if anything regarding the president is made public other than were done. You remember george carlin, the great stand up comic who liked to play with words. Whats the deal with jump. Theyre neither jumbo or shrimp. Thats how the Mueller Report is coming about. You have this idea and excitement. Under the rules, there is not a road map to an automatic release of a report. He is not wrong by saying there is nothing about the president that is automatically omitted. What they call the decisions, this is the sexiest boring thing in the world, complaining why you didnt prosecute someone. It might go to think and if you have a discussion about why the president did certain things that look like the crime of obstruction and you didnt prosecute them for him. The rules do require, Congress Might want to see that. They might want to subpoena mob robert mueller. Even absent what i call the jumbo shrimp of this. The idea that dowd said its going to be a flop when it drops, it doesnt mean we shouldnt infer there is nothing of value. He said you are not going to necessarily hear. He is presuming this was similar to rudy giuliani. The strongest case he can make, hopefully without lying. What he was referring to is saying look, there may not be much there. The big question is, be it through indictments or getting into the weeds, but the stuff he turns over that looks like there was a conspiracy with russia to impact the election or not. If not, a lot of people will say okay, the president is in the clear. As we know, thats an interesting interpretation of events where there have been more dimes of his closed a aides this early in the term. Whether there is experience is the remaining question. As you have from ken delaney and he doesnt think so. Makes me think of lil wayne. Go on. He said aint got nothing left to prove unless you have to prove it in court. Brilliant. Lil wayne has a song about his relations with the police. A lot of Law Enforcement in his artistry. I appreciate you bringing it to the table. This is who we are. Is it though . I think this is who we are some of the time. Thats right. Always good to see you. Good to see you. Nbc analyst and the opening act. Be sthour cature to catch the b on msnbc.

Massive crowds of protesters filled the streets in vend zule a calling for the immediate resignation of maduro. Maduro who controls distribution of food for venezuela refused to step down even after President Trump and several other nations recognized him as the leader of the country. Over three million fled to other countries because of food and medicine shortages. The United States has been at the forefront for a push for regime change and they are dialling back presence in other global affairs. Consider the headlines. Withdrawing troops from syria and considering pulling troops out of afghanistan and withdrawing from the paris climate accord. And the Iran Nuclear Deal and threatening at least twice to pull the United States out of nato. The empire and the five kings, the abdication and the fate of the world that went on sail today, philosopher, filmmaker and activist argues that those actions allowed other countries and groups to try to fill the void left by the u. S. Retreat. He calls them the empire and the five kings that refers to russia, china, turkey and iran and sunni razz cal islamism. You put out a tweet where you said too much trump talk blocks us from seeing the real danger. Russia i iran, china, turkey, mbs. I love america. I wouldnt exist without her. I plead for the u. S. To recover its lost moxie. You share a view that a lot of people have including our viewers that donald trump and what he does sucks a lot of the oxygen out of every room. Your argument is thats real oxygen. Other things are happening of consequence because we are occupied with one thing. Its a book about moxie. From outside, what we love in america is moxie and creed. Creed in values and freedom and democracy. Moxie, which is to behave in front of these bad guys, of the rogue states as a real power. Number two, you are right about this. Look at the story about the wall. The wall, the wall, the wall. In the green room i listened to donald trump saying he wanted a lot of walls. Come on. He is withdrawing his troops from the places where we are defending and you are defending and were defending the west, our freedoms and make some walls. When you make too many walls, you lose oxygen. You lose openness to the other and you lose the moxie and the creed of america. You write about this in an interesting way about imperialism and said the United States is a power, but one that never entirely caught empires glory. It is an empire, if you will, but nobility has always been to balk at imperialism. A clumsy awkward one and too heavy hand and too quick on the draw. Ultimately for 80 years now, the United States has led the western liberal movement. It is not an empire either. Russia is an imperialist power during the soviet union and iran is an imperialist power. Look at damascus and baghdad. China is an imperialist power who wants to have an influence over the rest of the world. She covered again, the current pedestrian america. He is a sort of imperialist. America is in imperialism. There is a world which i use in the book which is like america has always been a roman empire, but reluctant to do so. One of the things you talk about in terms of news, from the book, they see the origin of the invasion of fake news in the cynicism of a handful of leader who is in the west have claimed the orwellian power to decide where the truth lies and where it does not. Leaders who understand how useful the manipulation of history and narratives can be in their power struggles at home as well as foreign adventures. The five kings may appear to be paper tigers, but they have serious weakness underneath. About the fake news, it is true that we are living a new crisis of the truth. The very value of the truth is under attack. We less and less know where is the truth and where is the nontruth. This is the origin of fake news. Its not just google and facebook, but i make an analysis is the attack against the value. Number two, these five kings, which are occupying the void left by america, will that prevail or not . I think that theyre strong. They are for their own people before them being for us, but i think they can lose. They can lose for a single reason. To be really en empire, you need more than weapons. You need more than force and even more than trade. You need a vision of humanity. You feed need an address to the of the world. America, when it was an empire, had a message, had a creed. There is the creed in exceptionali exceptionalism, it is a creed. One that has faced some criticism. Of course. Of course. And it created a lot of but there was a creed. The shining city upon the hill. I can tell you, in the places of the world, in the battlefields of kurdistan, afghanistan fighters for democracy, it had the shining city upon the hill. When i was in pakistan investigating i tell that in the book about the death of daniel pearl, the journalist. Among the democrats, what is the message today of the chinese . What is the city upon the hill of Vladimir Putin . Youre going to have to read the book to get the answer. Bernard henrilevy, author of the empire and the five kings.

A doctor in montana abused native American Children for decades, used money, alcohol, and sometimes opioids to lure them out and was able to do it because officials there desperately needed a pediatrician. Thats the reporting from a new frontline the wall street journal investigation, it found the Agency Within the department of health and Human Services called the Indian Health service repeatedly missed or ignored warning signs and tried to silence whistleblowers ultimately allowing the doctor to continue preying on children. Despite the suspicions of colleagues up and down the chain of command. Thats a quote. One victim said the sexual abuse by the doctor started when he was just 11, around the time his father committed suicide. I went to the hospital to get my eyes checked to see if i could get some glasses, and he was just saying stuff, like trying to touch me and told me that if i feel uncomfortable with what he was doing, to let him know and he would stop.

Joining me now, christopher weaver, a the wall street journal reporter and the frontline correspondent on the investigation. Congratulations for doing this. This is a symptom, according to your reporting, of the shortage of medical practitioners in the Indian Health service where in a normal world, where people would get fired, Something Else would happen, they just move them. Thats what happened to this doctor. Wa hat we found is the agenc is desperate to fill positions on remote indian reservations, day looked the other way when they had concerns about physicians they were considering bringing on staff. The response you got did not seem to be efficient, said prioritizing the safety of their patients is their numberone thing. That doesnt seem to address how this all happened. Theyre between a rock and a hard place on this. They have this incredible imperative to keep facilities open. Many people that they serve would have no other access to health care, yet its extremely difficult to staff them. Their budget is constrained. This has been a decadeslong problem. Its a big problem. From your article, the ihs provides medical care for 2. 3 million native americans, who have no other access to health care. Struggled to recruit medical staff, especially at remote reservations, Officials Say they give Second Chances to doctor who likely would have struggled to find work elsewhere, includes some with history of drug problems, criminal convictions and violence. In some cases, what was particularly perplexing, it was hard to tell who was supposed to be responsible for these issues when they did arise. Woe found people pointing up or down the chain of command about who should be policing problem doctors, yet at the same time, kind of hiring folks who they knew they had good reasons to be asking more questions about. Is that still happening . Are there still people with questionable credentials that shouldnt qualify them to do this . There are doctors working there now who have licensed sanctions in the past, perhaps made some private comment about conduct issue that theyve had. You know, theyre desperate to fill the slots and in some cases, you know, theyve opened themselves up to the vulnerability of getting people like dr. Weber. Will they take complaints seriously now, whistleblowers . The guy who runs the agency now says theyre trying to encourage a culture of whistleblowers and protect people who want to come forward with these kinds of allegations, but theyre pushing back against kind of long history, people were basically afraid of their employer and theres examples in our reporting where folks who did raise alarms about problem providers, problem managers were e themselv , themselves, punished. Incredible. Thank you for doing this story. Christopher weaver, the wall street journal reporter, predator on the reservation premieres tonight on pbs 10 00 p. M. Eastern. Thank you for watching.
