Transcripts For MSNBCW The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell 20170622

Swamp. With just nine days before the senate is expected to vote, no public sign of whats in the bill. I dont get to read it, i dont vote for it. If i dont get to study it, i dont vote for it. Theres a lot of people i cant see voting for this thing. We can whimmer about it. We can whine about it, or we can fight back. Theres obstructionist. For the purpose of influencing our election. I mean they have phony witch hunts going against me. When theres ambiguity on the part of the United States president about whether it even happened, the russians are lapping that up. The president of the United States doesnt have that awareness or that will to protect us going forward, were going to be in a heap of trouble. I think we have to assume that the russians will be back. The republicans are not even halfway through the process of writing a Health Care Bill that can become a law. But they apparently are so fearful of what they are writing that they are keeping it the most secret Health Care Legislation ever conceived on capitol hill. Tomorrow, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell plans to finally reveal the super secret Health Care Plan that he has been writing to a small group of republican senators, just a small group of republican men, some of whom have had some input into it already. Tonight the Washington Post reports that the senate bill will mirror the house bill with some changes. A discussion draft circulating wednesday afternoon among aides and, of course, lobbyists would roll back the acas taxes, phase down its medicaid expansion, rejigger its subsidies, give states wider latitude in opting out of its regulations and eliminate federal funding for planned parenthood. A new politico morning poll finds that the house version is already unpopular with only 35 of voters approving of it. 49 disapprove. And 65 of voters say they want republicans to compromise with democrats and come to a bipartisan solution on health care reform. Heres what President Trump had to say about that Health Care Plan tonight. Ive been watching. Theyre saying President Trump has not produced health care. Ive been there for five months. I think and i hope cant guarantee anything. But i hope were going to surprise you with a really good plan. You know, ive been talking about a plan with heart. I said, add some money to it. A plan with heart. But obamacare is dead. Cant guarantee anything, that little phrase that he squeezed in the middle of that speech was a phrase you never heard on the campaign trail from candidate trump. Of course obamacare is not dead. It is the law of the land until that changes and the republicans, as i said, are not even at the Halfway Point of getting a bill that can become a law. The president admitted tonight, in effect, that republicans are so bad, so bad at writing Health Care Legislation that even the tiniest bit of input from democrats, any democrat, would make it much better, would make it beautiful. And by the way, if we had even a little democrat support, just a little, like a couple of votes, youd have everything. You could give us a lot of vote and wed even be willing to change it and move it around and make it even better. Its going to have good heart, but even better. But again, they just want to stop. They just want to obstruct. A few votes from the democrats, it could be so easy and so beautiful. Joining us now, joy reid, the host of a. M. Joy weekends on msnbc. Also with us, tim oh brie author of trump nation, the art of being the donald. And david frum, Senior Editor for the atlantic. Joy, it could be so beautiful if they all just moved their hands like him. I dont know. It could be a beautiful bill. Democrats would have to pull off this magic trick without ever speaking to a republican because republicans will not only not let their own members see the bill. They certainly arent letting democrats know what theyre doing. The 13 guys that are writing it by themselves are then going to show it to a republicanonly caucus. Democrats are not allowed in the room. There will be no hearings. There will be no discussion, no amendments from democrats. What is it that donald trump wants them to do . Maybe hold up big signs outside of the Republican Caucus meetings with their ideas on them . Its ridiculous. And then the second point obviously is democrats are never going to participate in something called repeal obamacare. Theres no reason for them to ever do that, and theyre not going to do it. Tim, were getting reports from inside the white house already that theyre alterably disappointed that he didnt stick to the script, that he didnt go with what was on the teleprompter. Surprise. And instead went with whatever went through his mind. Youve studied him better than any of the rest of us, longer than the rest of us. Youve had him under oath in a deposition where he failed in his lawsuit against you. When hes up there saying, as we just heard him say, democrats could make this better, we dont know how to make it better, only they do, he doesnt hear a word hes saying, right . No, no. Hes riffing. Hes like a hiphop artist. And he has no idea what the words actually mean that he just said, right . Or i think the underlying policy that hes talking about. Yeah. Hes not a student of policy. He doesnt understand health care. He does understand the first bill that the republicans tried to push through the house. And im sure he doesnt understand the specifics of what he currently has. Hes just trying to generate that thing that he does, which is uproarious crowd pleasers. Lets listen to what the president said about how the democrats have been obstructionist on this health care. Theyre obstructionist. We wouldnt get one democrat. If we came to you and said, heres your plan. Youre going to have the greatest plan in history, and youre going to pay nothing, theyd vote against it, folks. Every single vote. So we have a very slim 5248. That means we basically cant lose anybody. David frum, it wont surprise you that the part about the greatest plan in history where youre going to pay nothing was not in the telepromteleprompter. That was the plan donald trump just wrote as he was speaking to his audience. We could have that plan, but were giving you something else. Daniel dale of the toronto star had an amazing report from that speech about exactly what tim and you were talking about, trump riffing. At one point he went on this riff about one of the ideas hes had is that Illegal Immigrants should not get any kind of public assistance for their first five years. He said this was a very important concept and he was going to go to work on it. I think actually that would be a pretty broadly popular idea. Its so popular, its been the law of the land since the middle 1990s. No one has ever, i think, before seen a president go on a platform and promise to do something that has been the law of the land for 22 years. And, joy, it takes a special kind of voter to applaud for that and think, hey, thats a great idea. Yeah. The thing is donald trump, you know, he does understand something fundamental about the Republican Party that republicans didnt understand, which is that the base of the Republican Party wants Big Government. They just want Big Government to only be limited to them. They want, you know, immigrants to be cut off from programs. They want minorities who they think dont deserve them to be cut off. They themselves arent just for Big Government. Theyre for huge government. When he says too them something terrific where you wont have to pay, what they hear donald trump saying is, im going to make sure that whatever i create takes care of just you. And were still going to cut the bad people out, the people you dont like are going to get nothing. To them, that sounds like christmas every day. And, tim, i think youll have a strong insight into this. He said he doesnt want any poor people in his cabinet. Now, i think you could extend that to his life, couldnt you . Yeah. Hes never had many poor people even at his front door. I think he actually said he thinks that rich people make better decisions. Hes a rich person. He hasnt made great decisions, but i dont think hes going to turn that prism on himself. And, david, heres a president with this stunningly low Approval Rating now, down 35, 36, somewhere like that, who goes out there and apparently believes the room. He believes the few thousand people that you can put in a room, all selfselected, to applaud for him. I think one of the consequences of the georgia sixth election, which has left democrats very down cast and understandably why they would be, but it has also pushed the republicans past their last safe exit. You know, had the republicans lost in georgia, i think there might be today a little bit more of a mood of caution. That would be painful today but would serve them well in the longer medium term. What is instead happening is donald trump feels completely emboldened to do whatever he wants to do, and the paul ryan republicans and the Mitch Mcconnell republicans feel emboldened to do what they want to do. So theyre going to gun this thing. And they might well have been advised to do as you say, to look at those poll numbers and say, sooner or later, the public is going to find out whats in this bill. And they will probably find it out before november of 2018 even if its already the law by then. But, joy, could any Republican House member who won their seat by less than, say, 15 points, less than 20, certainly less than 15 could any of them feel comfortable tonight after what they saw in georgia last night . No. I mean heres the reality. There are two trains that are barreling down the tracks at the same time toward each other. One of them is that every single republican who is in washington elected today has to be able to go home to their state or their district and say, i voted to destroy obamacare. But they also have to be able to go home and say, i did not take away you and your mom and your grandmas health care. But what paul ryan fundamentally wants to do is take grandmothers health care. He is just as determined to take grandmas health care to give a giant tax cut to the rich as donald trump is. These are two things that fundamental with each other. Once they do, 2018, i know they feel good right now about georgia sixth. But all that says is republicans vote for republicans. The problem is theyve got to sell this bill the way democrats had to after 2010, and democrats expanded health care and still lost. Yeah. Tim, the history of what happens to the party who took the last action on health care, whether they succeed or fail. You look at what happened under the clinton bill where the democrats failed and couldnt even get it to a vote in the house of representatives, couldnt get it to a vote in the senate. They were still penalized and lost both the house and the senate in the next election. And i think that reality is going to visit itself upon the republicans in a way that i dont think theyre braced for. I dont think theyve thought it through. Theyre now bringing us to a double feature. You know, we saw this first in the house. It looks like were going to get a repeat in the senate. Its a double feature in a completely dark theater. No one can see the screen. I dont think the result is going to be favorable for them. David, certainly the president doesnt realize that if the senate does pass a bill, that they are at that point just about halfway there because then the house and the senate each have to pass a bill again that is in identical form, and many a bill dies after it has passed both the house and the senate when theyre at that Halfway Point. Well, the house has the option of simply passing the senate bill whole, which is what happened to the Affordable Care act in 2010. That could happen that paul ryan may not want to go through all of this again because the clock is getting very unforgiving. We have a recess of congress on the 31st of july. I suppose that could be changed, but that could be difficult. The government is empty, so theres a lot of hearings that have to be done in the senate. And if actions begin on the big tax cut that is the real desire of republican voters, again, the clock gets very, very hard. If you now send this thing to some kind of conference for a lot of talk, you could miss the moment. And there are not many of those moments left. Joy, the president made only a passing reference to the witch hunt in washington without getting too specific about it. So in front of that crowd tonight, even when hes unleashed, he couldnt find anything to stay about the investigation specifically. He cant say anything because the chief warlock, Robert Mueller, has his number. Donald trump created the situation hes in now because even if there could be no evidence found of collusion with russia, firing jim comey cooked baked this in. This is going to be Donald Trumps reality for the foreseeable future. Robert mueller is a formidable opponent, but so is jim comey. Firing him was a huge mistake, and hes going to have to live with it. Tim, will he live with it . Will he not fire try to fire the special prosecutor . Will he live with what he now has . Weve been down this road before, you and i, talking about this. I dont think hed hesitate for a second to fire mueller if he feels threatened. I think one of the animating forces of his fear and concern around this hasnt been the collusion issue, whether or not it occurred. I think he thinks he could probably end run the obstruction of justice. I think what hes really concerned about is people are now looking at the money trail, and this comes right into his wallet. And this is a man who doesnt have a you know, a closet full of skeletons. He has a gigantic warehouse full of them. I think thats why hes been so aggressive in trying to take this on or even derail it. David frum, theres so much talk about why wouldnt the president come out and Say Something forceful about the russians interfering in the election. Its hard to believe the more you listen to and observe the president that he doesnt hope that the russians do exactly the same thing in his next election. It worked for him the last time. I wonder whether its not more psychological than strategic in the way that you describe. For him to acknowledge that would be to acknowledge some kind of blemish. You know, theres no question whether you think that donald trump is the correct president , whether you think theres some taint on his legitimacy, theres no question hes the lawful president. He has the powers of the presidency, and thats Pretty Amazing and would be enough for most people. But for him to accept something went wrong and theres some question mark, thats not something he can psychologically cope with. He has to deny it. Maybe he has the kind of pragmatic motive that you describe, but tim knows him well. Maybe its just that need to say, if its mine, it must be perfect. It must be huge. It must be the best and biggest ever. Tim, quickly before we go, if theres any possibility that he won with the help of russian interference, why wouldnt he want that interference the next time around . I dont think he would acknowledge thats why he won. Right. So i think thats a moot point. Tim obrien, were going to have to leave it there. Thanks for joining us. Coming up, a former Homeland Security official told Congress Today that russia tried to interfere with voting in 21 states. And the president s soninlaw did not tell the truth on his application for a security clearance, so why does he still have a security clearance .

Ahh birds eye voila so veggie good today the house and Senate Intelligence committees heard from current and former intelligence officials about russias effort to hack into our president ial election. Heres what former Obama Administration Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson testified to, to the house intelligence committee. In 2016, the russian government, at the direction of Vladimir Putin himself, orchestrated Cyber Attacks for the purpose of influencing our election. That is a fact plain and simple. As fall progressed, we saw a progression of scanning and probing activities around Voter Registration databases, which concerned me. It was unprecedented. The scale and the scope of what we saw. The Current Deputy undersecretary of cybersecurity at the department of Homeland Security testified before the senate committee. Jeanette manfra offered this detail. We as of right now, we have evidence of 21 states or electionrelated systems in 21 states that were targeted. The fbis assistant director for counterintelligence said this. The primary goal in my mind was to sew discord and try to delegitimize our Fair Election process. I also think another of their goals, which the entire United States Intelligence Community stands behind was to denigrate secretary clinton and to try to help then current President Trump. Joining us now, malcolm nance, msnbc counterterrorism and intelligence analyst, the author of the plot to hack america, and david frum is still with us. Malcolm, what did we learn today . And i mean we, not you of course, because you already know everything. But what did us news consumers learn in that hearing today . That im like nostradamuu. This is nine months ago i wrote that book. More importantly we are getting the validation of the information that the media has been putting out for some time. This is not a hoax. Jeh johnson had been with the director of the cia and president obama and director of National Intelligence when they made a statement to the nation that this nation was attacked. Now were seeing the current director of cybersecurity, the current director at the fbi all validating the analysis thats been put out ever since the cia released their report september 23rd. Nothing new here. Were just hearing it anew. David frum, 21 states they have evidence of an attempt to interfere with voting. Could be with voting registration. Could be with other elements of the voting process. Well, so far it sounds like those attempts were reasonably ine fectual and defeated by the slovenliness of the voting system. If there was a more modern voting system, the attacks might have been more successful. There are a lot of questions about the Obama Administration that need to be answered. You hear varying claims and maybe malcolm knows which are right and which are wrong, that the Obama Administration acted decisively or that it was asleep at the switch, that it looked away. I think for the record, we need to know did the administration respond effectively enough. Did it send signals, or did it stand down for its own internal political reasons . I think as you all know, theres intense bad blood between the Hillary Clinton loyalists and the barack obama loyalists as to whether or not the administration acted decisively or not. Malcolm, whats your reading of that point at this stage . Well, i think that its pretty clear to me what the Obama Administration was doing. They were treating the office of the presidency with respect and dignity, and they did not want to appear political at all. They were not going to intervene in this election because thats the lincolnesque thing to do. Even though john brenner, director of the cia was hair on fire, running around telling the gang of eight that this nations electoral process was under attack. That being said, those old rules are out the window. Weve got an administration that doesnt believe any of this. So, you know, there do have to be questions that have to be answered from the Obama Administration side, but i think more importantly, what are we going to do because we have another elections coming up, and they could just as easily hammer us in the next election cycle as well as they did the last. Lets listen to the sequence between senator reid and the acting deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity. Are you aware of any direction by the president to conduct these types of operations or your investigations . Sir, to clarify the question, direction from the president to that the Homeland Security and other federal agencies conduct the activities that youre conducting, essentially an investigation into russian hacking in the election. I cant comment on the president s directions specifically, but our secretary is committed to understanding what happened, ensuring that we are better protected in the future. So our activities are he has not communicated that this is at the direction of the president of the United States . No, sir. So david frum, no message from the president to the troops on this. It doesnt look like that. Again, as we were saying in the last segment, i dont think its possible psychologically for donald trump to process this. Even if he had a completely innocent frame of mind and we dont know that. But if he did, it wouldnt be in his nature to say there could be possibly any blemish attached to anything that belongs to him. Malcolm, its occurred to me the more i watch this, that if the president benefited from the interference, why wouldnt this president and i mean uniquely this president want that same interference the next time he runs . Well, its quite possible that he could. But, you know, i dont know if hes going to get there based on the way that he is running interference to stop any investigation whatsoever of what happened. This was an attack. I mean, you know, the only thing that was missing was the cruise missiles. These were electronic cruise missiles. They psychologically reengineered or enhanced the way that everybody thought about Hillary Clinton to the point that that was the only thing that was discussed. This president doesnt see anything wrong with that, and that being the case, he thinks that by ordering it, he can just put a stop it, and hes now coming up against the gears of democracy. Its not going to work. Nor should we assume that the russian policy is so consistent as that. They may well turn against donald trump should he run for reelection in 2020. And meanwhile, were on this course of intensifying confrontation in a number of theaters, in syria, where there have been where american and Russian Forces are getting ever closer to some kind of terrible accident. In northeast asia, where theres a widening gap between the american and the asian positions. Donald trump because of his confrontational nonstrategic nature, whatever he owes the russians in the past, its not clear that hes going to pay them any more than hes paid any other creditor if they are his creditor. But, malcolm, theres no indication that any of the decisions being made in syria are coming from the president. He seems to have simply delegated that entire region of the world to whoever the military commanders are in the region. I agree with you on that point. I think this is whats happening with the regional battle commanders are making decisions that are tactically advantageous to them, especially these strikes up in raqqah. The opposition the attacks that we took along the jordanian iraqi border, theyre not playing any games because theyve been delegated this authority. On the other hand, donald trump is not looking at this game at all strategically. The United States could be brushing up against russia and creating tactical friction, you know, all over the place. But, you know, like he said, if he is in debt to them in some way, whether rhetorically or actually financially in debt to them, i think hes terrified that Robert Mueller and this special counsel team are going to find it. They just brought in some of the top Financial Crime people in america, and thats all hes concerned about. Nothing else matters. You know, we could be in ground combat, and i dont think hed care. Malcolm nance and david frum, thank you both for joining us tonight. Appreciate it. Coming up, security clearances are supposed to be suspended if youre under investigation unless your name is jared.

Democrats on the House Oversight committee are questioning why the white house did not suspend security clearances of former National Security advisor Michael Flynn and president ial Senior Adviser Jared Kushner after questions arose about their contacts with russian officials. In a letter to white house chief of staff reince priebus, congressman elijah come minutes writes, when there are credible allegations that employees may be unfit to continue accessing classified information, security clearances are supposed to be suspended while the allegations are investigated. Jared kushner today met with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abass in a 15hour overseas trip. I know of your efforts, the president s efforts, and i look forward to working with you to achieve these common goals. Thank you. The president sends his best regards and its an honor to be here with you. Senator Richard Blumenthal told hardball tonight that he and other democratic members of the Judiciary Committee have also requested a review of Jared Kushners security clearance. He had these clandestine conversations with the head of the major bank in russia, who had ties to putin and to the Intelligence Community in russia. And, second, this effort to establish a back channel using russian diplomatic facilities. So those potential errors in judgment not to mention different ul jing confidential information require a security clearance review for him. Joining us now, a former House Committee staff member and the Vice President for the National Security program with us, ned price. Former senior director and spokesperson for the National Security council and a former cia analyst. He is an msnbc National Security analyst. Mika, how big a deal is this, these issues about Jared Kushners security clearance . This is a really big deal. The security clearance process is set in place so that you know who is a risk for classified for leaking classified information or compromising classified information. Not going through the process, not fitting out the paperwork, it shows theres being very cavalier, which we see over and over again with this information. The president doesnt have to go through any of this security clearance hurdle to get into the position hes in. We know. This is a public fact he is the leakiest creature. The security clearance for the commander in chief has always been predicated on the fact that the popular vote, which of course we know donald trump did not win, is supposed to be the ultimate arbiter of whether someone is appropriate for receiving top secret information. In this case, im not sure that is the best standard but it is the only standard we have and the one thats still in play. Lets listen to what the acting fbi director said today about the resources that the special prosecutor has. Is the special counsel being provided with full access to all fbi resources needed for investigation . He is, sir. He is. I can assure you of that. Ive had many, many interactions with the special counsel and his representatives. In fact, we are meeting in the next 24 hours to discuss exactly that. We have a great number of folks who have already been detailed to that team, and i have assured director mueller that we will do everything necessary to deliver the resources and meet the needs that he has to do that work. As youve seen the public reports of mueller adding lawyers almost every day, one with russian language expertise, others with expertise in a variety of issues that might be involved here, money laundering, russian business, how does that team look to you at this point . It looks very substantial, and it looks like theyre going to have a very wideranging investigation, not because, as the president claims, its a witch hunt, but because the president has so many different ways in which he and his team have been compromised by their contacts with the russians, whether its inperson communications, attempts to talk to intelligence officials, financial ties, meeting with sanctioned banks. Its all over the place. So you need a large team to look into all those allegations. To go back to the security clearance issue, and this time involving Michael Flynn, i want to reach back into a may 11th hearing and as these investigations go on, we discover questions in hearings that didnt mean so much at the time suddenly loom much larger in todays context. And this senator ron wyden with cia director mike pompeo. Lets listen to this. Did you have any indication, secondhand, any sense at all that the National Security adviser might be vulnerable to blackmail by the russians . That is a yes or no question. Its actually not a yes or no question, senator. I cant answer yes or no. I are regret that im unable to do so. Ned price, we now know the answer to that is yes. Lets remember that ron wyden is the king of asking leading questions. In 2013, it was ron wyden that asks clapper whether there were any programs that captured all of the met adata in this country and that answer was later revised after Edward Snowden came to light. I have a feeling senator wyden was doing something similar here knowing that mike flynn was in the position he was for 18 days and continued to receive the pdb even after sally yates, the acting attorney general at the time, warned the white house. But lets also remember that the white house, don mcgahn, the white house counsel, was warned even before President Trump was sworn into office. They knew that National Security adviser mike flynn would need to register as a foreign agent. They knew there were red flags. Lets also not forget that president obama offered a word of advice against mike flynn. Its not like they didnt know what they were getting into. They just chose to ignore the warnings until they were caught, until the Washington Post caught them in their own lie. Ned price and mieke eoyang, thank you both for joining us. Thank you.

Mr. Phil helped feed 395 kids a day at a Public Elementary School in st. Paul, minnesota. But the Police Officer who approached him on the last day of his life did not know that. Philando castile picked up his girlfriends 4yearold daughter at daycare that day, but the Police Officer did not know that when he was approaching the car with the 4yearold girl in the back seat. Philando castile then picked up his girlfriend, diamond reynolds, after she finished work, but the Police Officer did not know that as he approached. Philando castile was licensed to carry a firearm and had that firearm with him in the car, but the Police Officer did not know that. All the Police Officer knew was that one of the taillights on Philando Castiles car wasnt working. Thats it. That is the only thing that the Police Officer actually knew with certainty before he fired seven bullets into Philando Castiles car. One of those bullets went into the back seat and almost hit the little girl. Another bullet hit the Center Console two inches away from Philando Castiles girlfriend. The rest of the bullets all hit Philando Castile. Five bullets. Two of them went through his heart. Philando castiles girlfriend started running her video camera immediately after the shooting, a video that has been widely seen over the last year on this network. Friday, the officer was found not guilty of manslaughter in the Second Degree, and yesterday the dash cam video of the shooting, which had been an exhibit in court, was finally released.

[ screaming ] [ gunshots ] you just killed my boyfriend. Dont pull it out. Dont move [ bleep ]. Oh, man. [ bleep ]. Oh, my god. Dont move oh, my god. Dont move oh, my god. Im shaking. Dont move dont move, baby. [ bleep ]. Dont move code three shots fired. [ bleep ]. Stay with me. Code three he got pulled over for a busted taillight in the back, and the police [ bleep ]. Hes licensed. Hes licensed to carry. He was trying to get out his id and his wallet. He let the officer know that he was that he had a firearm and was reaching for his wallet, and the officer maam, just keep your hands where they are [ bleep ]. I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand off it he was reaching for his i. D. , sir. His drivers license. Oh, my god. [ bleep ]. What did you just see . Was that panic . Was that murder . Was that manslaughter . Was that a crime . Ill ask joy reid next. Its over. Ive found a permanent escape from monotony. Together, we are perfectly balanced. Our senses awake. Our hearts racing as one. I know this is sudden, but they say. If you love something set it free. See you around, giulia lwhos the lucky lady . Im going to the bank, to discuss a mortgage. Ugh, see, you need a loan, you put on a suit, you go crawling to the bank. This is how i dress to get a mortgage. I just go to lendingtree. I calculate how much home i can afford. I get multiple offers to compare side by side. And the best part is. The banks come crawling to me. Everything you need to get a better mortgage. Clothing optional. Lendingtree, when banks compete, you win. Okay . Awkward. I feel it every day. But at night, its the last thing on my mind. For 10 years my tempurpedic has adapted to my weight and shape, relieving pressure points from head to toe. So i sleep deeply but feel light. And wake up ready to perform. Even with the weight of history on my shoulders. Find your exclusive retailr at tempurpedic. Com and youre about in to hit send all on some embarrassing gas. Hey, you bought gasx® unlike antacids, gasx ® relieves pressure and bloating fast. Huh, crisis averted. The toughest part for me with respect to those facts is that he was so respectful in how he disclosed that he had that firearm. He said, sir, i have to tell you that i do have a firearm on me. And he went beyond what the law requires. He was compliant. He wasnt resisting. And at the end of the day, this was a traffic stop. Unfortunately, the jury didnt see it that way. Jury, thats the District Attorney who prosecuted that case, the Philando Castile killing. There are five different degrees of homicide in minnesota. He chose the lowest degree which is manslaughter in the Second Degree which is simply culpable negligence and he could not get a conviction on that. When you saw that dashcam video, what did you see . Yeah, i mean, obviously what you had is a person who never should have been a Police Officer who went from zero to 60 in about two seconds. He was obviously afraid of the person in the car and you can draw your own conclusions as to why. He panicked when he was told by Philando Castile, officer, i need to inform you that i have a gun. Now, if he had malintent toward that officer, he wouldnt have calmly informed him, sir, that i have a gun. There wasnt even any logic to his panic. I think that was the most damning was not officerianness but the other officer who was completely calm and treated it as a routine traffic stop. Never touched his gun. Never touched his gun. Theres so much going on in that tape thats infuriating and thats shocking and hard to watch. But you look at the required calm of the girlfriend who also would have been shot had she made one wrong move because obviously officerianness was unfit to be a Police Officer and is afraid of people. Have i friends that are Police Officers. I have a good friend thats a police chief. My godfather is a retired cop. Police officers are required to be professional on a level that exceeds normal human beaks because of the power youre given. Youre giving essentially a high school graduate, a 19yearold has the power of life and dating death over you and me. I give gnaw officer ip credit khabibulin credit for trying this officer. They usually never go to trial. He tried. But believe whatever Police Officers have to say and all they have to say is i fear for my life, i thought he had a gun and they get off every time. Within the culpable negligence statute, the fact that you were fearful and it turns out you were wrong, thats why its brought under the negligence statute. Thats right. We understand you thought you were but you were wrong and you shouldnt have done that. Just from what were hearing about the jury, they were ready to acquit. It was 102 i think the first vote count was. People are willing to believe that a Police Officer whatever a Police Officer says by and large, having sat on a grand jury, i can tell you that that unfortunately is the way that people respond when they hear a Police Officer say anything. The thing that i think was the most damning was the immediate consciousness of guilt he showed when he panics. Not for the guy he just shot in the career. For his career. For himself. He knew his career was over. That is correct. For himself. Then he immediately when the other officers came, they had to decide how to protect his career and how to make sure he was okay. He just pumped four bullets into a mans chest for no reason. Right. Joy reid, thank you very much. Appreciate it. The last word is next. E i am. I think is today going to be the day, that we find a cure . I think how much i can do to help change peoples lives. That helps me to keep going to cure this. My great great grandfather lived to be 118 years old. Ive heard many stories from patients and their physicians about what they are going through. I often told people oh im going to easily live to be 100 and, uh, it looks like i might not make it to retirement age. We are continually learning and unraveling what is behind this disease.
