Transcripts For MSNBCW The Rundown With Jose Diaz-Balart 20141209

Bracing for violence. The report itself is expected to outline tactics used against al qaeda detainees at secret sites, including simulateded drowning known as waterboarding. Other descriptions of harsh treatment inslamming them into walls, sleep deprivation. But the report will also say the program was a failure, and that the cia misled the bush white house. Former Vice President dick cheney says thats not true. Quote, thats all a bunch of hooey as far as im concerned. The agency ought to be decorated, not criticized. We have this covered from all on this tuesday morning. Chris lan sing is at the white house. Jim miklaszewski is at the pentagon and the managing editor at msnbc. Com is here with me in the the studio. Chris, let me start with you at 1600 pennsylvania. Whats new . What do we expect that will be new in this report . Well first of all, even though its redacted. I think there are two big headlines coming out of it. One is that three former cia directors, there are accusations lied to Congress Lied to the white house and to the American People about the kinds of techniques used post 9 11. Lets talk about the specifics of those, which inlewded waterboarding. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other detainees. Theres a part of the report that describes how they used a buzzing power drill to threaten one of those detainees. And so it is really some of the details of things that were suspected and the actual confirmation of what happened. People who have looked at it described it as a brutal read even in this largely redacted form which is obviously for classified purposes. Just to clarify, were talking some 450, 500 pages of a 6,000page report, right . Yes. Mik, secretary of of defense chuck hagel in afgs today. Whats the sense about whether this report whether the release of this summery will cause real trouble overseas . Well, craig, as of this morning, there appears to be no specific threat against any u. S. Military installation or embassy in the middle east or in africa at this present time. But as a precaution, you know after the state department and u. S. Security forces were caught flat footed on the attack of the benghazi conflict in libya, in which ambassador Chris Stevens and three other americans were killed, theyre taking no chances. So there were some 2,000 marines in the region that have been put on a heightened state of alert. It doesnt mean theyre sitting in a helicopter with all their combat gear on ready to fly, but if in fact theres any indication of any kind of threat against a u. S. Embassy in that region, they will be able to respond more quickly. And of course all the Security Forces at embassies in that region are also on a heightened state of alert. Fortunately in many of those countries they often get some kind of indication from the local host Country Intelligence services that something may be amiss but so far, its been pretty much flat lined. Chris mentioned the redaxs in the report. What are we not going to see . What are we not going to read when this comes out . Youre not going to see anything to hold anyone accountable. Names of cia officers or contractors who ran these facilities in romania and thailand who oversaw the programs. Who carried out the interrogations on individuals. Those names are not going to be in there. There was a fight with the white house over sooud anymores. And whether or not they should be redacted. The pseudonyms question was a big fight between the committee and the white house. And in fact you will not see the names of people subjected to a lot of harsh interrogations. We know the names of the people who were waterboarded because of many documents that have come out. But almost 100 people were held in black sites. Many of whom remain anonymous today. It should be noted that senate republicans, republicans on this committee did not participate. It should also be noted that we did not, or the the economy itself did not talks to folks involved in these interrogation practices, right . Thats correct. The committee did not do any interviews at all. They relied totally on information from the cia inspector general. And internal documents of classified information from within the cia. And well see a minority report from the side with all of their issues. Thank you so much. Thanks to all of you. Were going to obviously be talking about this a great deal over the course of the day. A lot more to come here on the rundown as well. More on the torture from senators on both sides of the aisle later in this hour. Now though to another major policy fight in washington that continues to play out across the country. President obama will continue to sell his immigration action to the American People later today. Its a tour that started in las vegas the day after he announced his executive orders and then made its way to chicago, illinois. Today he makes a third stop in nash shil tennessee, no quince dins thats where we find jose diaz balart. Lets start with the president s visit, though good sir. Why nashville . Thats a great question. Nashville because the white house believes that what has hoopd near in happened here in nashville as far as how the immigrant community has been able to settle in and to become a part of this community is probably a National Model to follow. There are about 124,000 undocumented imgrants living in the state of tennessee. About 50,000 living here in davidson county. And the white house believes how nashville has dealt with the folks that have come here from all over the the world is a good model to follow. Behind me, greg is where the the president will be in just a couple of hours speaking about the importance of immigration and the importance of immigration reform. Thats going be the first time i speak with him after the 20th of november executive orders on immigration. So clearly thats going to be one of the issues were going to be focused on today. I dont want you to tip your hand, obviously. But besides immigration, what else do you plan to talk to the president about today . Well the big news of the day is this report you were just talking about on the show just seconds ago on the cia and its interrogate tactics after 9 11. Clearly this is the first time the president is going to be able to speak after the the report or the summery of that report is released. Were going to be talking to him about that, about immigration. The importance of immigration reform. Who knows. You never know. Jose diazbalart, well see you later in the program. See you soon. And that interview with president obama will air first at 6 30 eastern. And there will be much more in the prime time lineup on msnbc and of course tomorrow morning on the daily rundown. Lets get to serious weather that is absolutely hammering the northeast right now. Heavy rains and powerful winds. You can hear them in the studio. Theyre pounding the eastern seaboard as a noer easternoreaster moves through several cities. Already the effect is being felt at major airports. The faa says laguardia has delays averaging 2 hours and 45 minutes. Philadelphia international delays averaging an hour and 20 minutes. Dylan is joining me now from long branch new jersey. Whats the scene like there, dylan . Hey, craig. You just mentioned you can feel the winds from inside. Feeling the winds from outside, this is brutal. Its a nasty noreaster making itsz way into the northeast. Were already seeing wind gusts up near 40 Miles Per Hour. This is a coastal storm. You see that ocean out there . It is angry right now. Were seeing very high surf. The high tide is between now and 45 minutes from now. So we are going to see typically flood prone areas during these types of events along the coast feel that water splash over the sea wall. Were going to see regular flooding inland. Thats because of the inches of rain were seeing from this system. By the time we get to 10 00 in the afternoon up until 3 00 or so we could see wind gusts up near 55 Miles Per Hour. That means loose objects will be tossed around. Were already feeling the effects at the the airports and this whole storm will eventually make its way to new england today, and then some areas, especially the Higher Elevations in upstate new york and new england, once it turns to snow overnight tonight, those areas could end up with one to two feet of snow as it lingers through thursday, craig. Dylan dreyer for us in front of an angry ocean. Well continue to follow this h noreaster. Well have another update on the weather in about half an hour. Were just Getting Started on a very busy tuesday edition of the rundown here. Another event on capitol hill that will get a lot of attention this afternoon. Secretary of state john kerry testifying about war funding for isis. Ill talk with someone who sits on the committee. Senator ron johnson. And six people including two small children killed after a private plane crashes into a home. More on the investigation and the lives lost straight ahead on the rundown. We asked people a question how much money do you think youll need when you retire . Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to like, pull it a little further got me to 70 years old im going to have to rethink this thing its hard to imagine how much well need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. So maybe we need to approach things differently if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Ring ring . Progresso you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. Well vegetables.

Ill give it to you, you have employed a lot of people. Mostly as secretary of defense. That was comedian Stephen Colbert have been fun with the lame duck president over what will are be his fourth secretary of defense. Its a series by today, though however for outgoing defense secretary chuck hailing. Hes now in baghdad assessing the fighting against iraq and syria. Hes been meeting with the troops and iraqi leaders on the ground. The surprise vid comes as a debate reignites at home over the Obama Administrations escalation of the war against i sis. This afternoon secretary of state john kerly will face tough questions from republicans and democrats at a Foreign Relations hearing. Luke russert joins us live from capitol hill. What can we expect this afternoon, good sir . It will be interesting to see what john kerry says about the ongoing u. S. War with isis . Congress has a lot of questions because congress has not specifically authorizeded this action. Theyre still operating under the operation military force that dates back to 2001. And the initial war on terror. Expected questions from john kerry is how much does it cost . Whether or not there should be boots on the ground and this is all a lead up into later this week the committee is more than likely going to vote on what the u. S. Strategy should be against isis through an authorization of military force bill. This wont come forward in in congress because theres not enough time. Youll have democrats like tim kaine from virginia who said they want to limit this to no boots on the ground. Air strikes only. Very up to date reports about how much it will cost. You have republicans that said we should have more force. We should have boots on the ground. Expected pointed questions from the left and the right. Scene the next congress. House Speaker John Boehner says he wants congress to specifically authorize this latest escalation against isis and not operate off that 2001 operation use of force. Not getting a lot of attention. Everything is focused on the issues. Luke russert, thank you so much. I want to bring in Wisconsin Republican senator ron johnson, a member of both the Foreign Relations and Homeland Security committees. Senator always good to see you, thanks for being with me this morning. Secretary kerry is going to be testifying before your committee about the new authorization bill for the use of military force that luke was talking about there. In your opinion, what needs to be in that bill . Well first of all, lets take a step back and talk about how this debate ought to be proceeding. You know, we did have one hearing back in may about an authorization for the use of military force, in may . And then theres a group of us in july talking about the shorgs for use of military force because the white house is finding its authorization, lets put it diplomatically tenuous at best. But we didnt have a full debate. We didnt get the information. Theres a lot of questions. So now were going to have one hearing. A little debate. Its going to be a show vote. Theres no chance of it to pass through congress. Its based on inadequate debate and inadequate information. And what were talking about here is were talking about lives of the finest among us. I think this needs a far more robust and responsible debate out of congress than what it will be given right now. That could be said for a great deal of debates. So it sounds like senator, you think this afternoon will be also a conversation or debate about the strategy against isis moving forward as well. Is that a correct assessment . It is. But i think the administration sp was asked to find about six witnesses. I appreciate secretary kerry coming up here. And ill defend the chairman. Hes been asking for a witness to come forward to inform congress. Theyve been not exactly forthcoming. My problem with dealing with the white house is if youre looking at an authorization for the use of military force, i think the way the process ought to proceed and really how we left our july meeting is the ball is in the white houses court. Come to congress with what authorization you believe we need and we should be debating that. In the past when we declared war, the Organization Congress granted in world war i and world war ii was to bring the conflict to a successful termination. Pretty broad power. The president is the commander in chief under article two. Whats going to happen now today, i fear is were going to provide comfort to the enemies. We strip the organization through time or what the president can do. I think its very foolish, very unwise to signal to the enemy what we will or will not do to accomplish a goal that i agree with degrade and defeat i sis. But who is our enemy . Is it strictly isis . Is it al qaeda . Is it in yemen . Is it in pakistan . Is it in afghanistan . Is it in syria and iraq . I mean this is a very complex situation. I dont envy president obama, his task. But the fact of the matter is we have a lot of questions not being answered. Were not getting the information that we need from the and this is part of the process. So you have secretary kerry going to testify this afternoon at 2 00. A few hourls earlier, that cia report is expecteded to be released. You called for an end to this investigation back in 2011 i believe. Why was that . Do you not think that the release of this wort is valuable . I think its somewhat unwise again, to air your dirty laundry out for them to see. Why would we provide that . There are good people in government, in congress, continuously monitoring these programs. Democrats, republicans, conservative liberals. Do you not think there is value in the American Public knowing precisely what happened . Or as much as we go ahead. I think the question is you used the word precisely. I think the American Public through leaks have a good sense of what happened. Eni said i dont envy president obama or president bush but this is a dangerous world populateded with evil and dangerous people that want to kill americans. We witnessed that. We need to give our government the authority. This is the one area of government we have to have a little faith and trust. I dont think airing all the precise detail of what the president s do to keep us safe is a splarly smart thing to do. Some would say the faith and the trust was eroded when the leaks started, and we got a glimpse into precisely what was happening in the wake of 9 11. Again, some top secret information was leaked. This is a dangerous world. Sometimes we have to do unpleasant things. And i dont believe the u. S. Government should bear all its dirty laundry to the entire world. That harms the effort in keeping america safe which should be the primary goal keeping america safe and secure. Senator, thank you so much for your time sir. Have a great day. Well get perspective from the democratic side when i speak to bob casey in just a minute. After the break, gas prices are down because the cost of oil is down. Well get a check on the markets in just a bit. First in case you hadnt heard. The duke and duchess of came bridge are still around.

Power yayyyy we are about four minutes away from the opening bell on wall street where investors are keeping a very close eye on the price of oil, which is now at a fiveyear low. Cnbcs mandy is joining us with the rundown. Drivers are getting a break at the gas pump, but there are concerns about the price of oil. Its a doubleedged sword. Well have a weak open here in the United States. You say oil prices are at the lowest since 2009. There are pros to this h. Right . Lower energy costs. Lower gas prices means more money in our pockets. But it also weighs on Energy Stocks and really makes you worry about what is it saying about Global Growth . Is it due to too much supply or not enough demand . The Energy Sector dragged on the s p and dow. If you think it just hurts our market if you have international or emerging market exposure, the gulf exchanges, like saudi arabia the place where is the oil comes from theyre getting whacked as well. As i say, pros and cons. But for today, it looks like a weak open. Back to you. Mandy for us this morning. Thank you. Well keep an eye on the opening bell.

Protests, a plane crash investigation and more fallout from the uva sex assault scandal. Lets go to this mornings top stories. It was a full night of protests in berkeley california over a grand jurys decision not to indict Police Officers in the deaths of eric garner and michael brown. Demonstrations started relatively peacefully but berkeleys mayor says a small element of thugs and cowards used used demonstrations for looting. And they stopped a major am track. A federal autopsy released yesterday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds and described his death as a homicide. The Justice Department autopsy was released with other documents for the grand jury proceedings. It echoed the results of two previous exams perfected by st. Louis county and a private examiner. Also found brown was shot in the head at close rake, indicateing a possible struggle with officer darren wilson. In maryland this morning, investigators are analyzing a flagt data recorder from a private plane that crashed into a home, killing three on boards as well as a mother and her two young sons on the ground. 36yearold marie was trying to shield 6yearold cole and 3yearold davon inside an upstairs bathroom. The fire from the crash was too intense for anybody to get to them. Her husband was ats work. The 5yearold daughter was at preschool. The pilot was michael rosenberg, who crashed another plane at the same airport four years before. Now to the latest fallout from the widely criticized Rolling Stone article at the university of virginia. The father of the alleged victim jackie is defending her saying she told the truth. He told britains daily mail she got the from fraternitys name wrong when describing where she was gang rapeded. On campus uvas fraternities and vorpsororities are demanding they be reinstated. But the president is demanding they be suspended for the end of the year. And next hour a Senate Sub Committee will take up the issue of sex assault on College Campuses. Representatives from Cornell University and Southern Oregon university. Lets get back to the weather right now. From maine to maryland the nasty noreaster soaking the east coast. Its the second storm in two weeks, and its expected to bring wind gusts today up to 60 Miles Per Hour to some folks. This morning, new Yorks Laguardia airport has departure delays averaging 2 45 because of that storm. Nbc meteorologist bill karins is tracking it from the studio here. What else should we expect from this thing, sir . Weve already seen a couple of surprises. I dont think were going to see too many more throughout the rest of the day. The surprise this morning is the cold air is entrenched more than expected across connecticut, hudson valley, northern new jersey. There was a really treacherous period for two or three hours. A lot of accidents were reported because of a glaze of ice. Now temperatures are warming up and the rain will wash all of that away. So thats improving. A lot of the schools are already canceled. Now the peek of the storm will approach. Now the heaviest is right now. Southern new england new york city, long island. Its beginning to lighten up a little bit there in southern new jersey. We mentioned the airports. You get the limited visibility. One and a half hour delays in philly. Were doing okay in baltimore and dulles and reagan. And those winds are howling. 38 Miles Per Hour gusts just occurred at jfk airport. By the time were done craig, about one to three inches of rain. So the drive home wont be much better. Still a lot of ponding on water on the roads. Just imagine if this was all snow. We would talk about an epic blizzard. Thankfully its all rain. Thank you, sir. Umbrella killing day. Is that a legitimate term . It is. Well continue to track this thing throughout the morning. Well have another update in about half an hour. Lets get back to capitol hill. Ha live look at the House Oversight committee. Do we have that live look . Live look. House Oversight Committee. On the hot seat this morning, commissions Jonathan Gruber who has been called by some theres the live look. Theres dale issa. Hes been called an architect of obamacare. White house Officials Say grubers influence on that law was limited. Hes expected to be thoroughly grilled over the remarks where he called voters stupid and bragged about the laws lack of transparency, and in the words of one gop staffer in that hearing, its going to be quote, a lot of fun. All of this is open enrollment for january. Coverage closes this coming monday. Our capitol hill correspondent Kelly Odonnell is there for us. Kelly, how much of a side show are we expecting here . I would say it will be the main event and not a side show at all. This will be a chance for republicans who have been waiting for this kind of political splip to capitalize on it yet again in the final weeks of this congress and the chairmanship of that man. Darrell issa of california. When the new Congress Comes in hell switch seats with someone else 6789 this is a final chance for him to wield the gavel and for some say he was speaking off the cuff. Said something he didnt intend. Others say he was revealing what he thought in talking about the process when it was originally passed. Weve talked about the length and density of the law and the fact that many people were not able to read through it very carefully. That was part of the controversy. Not fully understanding what was in it. And they talked about the need for transparency. So for gruber to talk about the American People and voters and to use the words stupid or stupidity, thats really a moment for republicans to cease upon. Democrats will surely come to his defense. And the other person testifying today, marilyn, who is an administrator with medicare and Medicaid Service will also be grilled for a slipup in the latest enrollment numbers. 400,000 not accounted for that they had said had signed up. So basically what were going to see is again dissecting the rollout and the management of the Health Care Law and as well as going back to the roots of how this all came to be. Were the American People given a chance to know nully what was in it . What to expect . To have an economist who is credited for him to speak to the public even offhandedly. They say that opens the door for real oversight here. Zblf as chairman issa appears to wrap up his opening comments here kelly. Is gruber is Jonathan Gruber, is he sort of the boogeyman that many republicans have been looking for . Zbr well hes the man of the day for sure. There have been other heated hearings that i have sate through and watched so you dont have to. And this is the kind of chance to again go back to the roots of it. To press him as to why he would say this. He can say this was an offhanded and ill timed off the cuff remark. Weve all said things that we regret. Theyre going to try to say this is much more revealing of what his real plans, thoughts and intentions were as they prepared the law. To make it less easy to understand at the time of the passage. Meaning that the public wouldnt know all of that would follow. Health care premiums could go up. This is a web of issues. And having any opening, any slip of someone so influential if the process is a chance for republicans to take it to task again. The bigger political dynamic as long as president obama is in office, there wont be a way to repeal it. A new congress may chip away and have a strategy to dismantelpieces of it and try to effect it. Its simply been a dead end thus far. This is one of the final shows of the Oversight Committee of this congress. Kelly, is it true again, in addition to being the socalled architect of obamacare, what do we know about grubers relationship the to socalled romney care. He was influential in that process, too. There was a day those were said in the same sentence in a complimentary fashion. He was influential in the forming of that plan. He has been to the white house a number of times. Ful and youve got senior democrats like nancy pelosi saying i dont know him. And republicans countering and saying he was a part of the brain trust that helped formulate how a plan like the americans, the aca, the Affordable Care act would work based on what was done in massachusetts on a state level. A lot of similarities between the two programs. And he was a big part of that. And so ever since he said the word stupid on camera the white house and senior democrats have tried to distance themselves and republicans have tried to bring him so so closer. Kelly o from the hill. Thank you so much kelly. Well check in later with a republican congressman john micah of florida. He sits on the Oversight Committee. Hell be questioning mr. Gruber in just a bit. Big day on capitol hill as we wait for the release of that report on torture as well. After the break ill talk with senator bob casey about what we can expect and who, if anyone, should be held accountable. Thought wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad .

I had tried to do it in the past. I hadnt been successful. Quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. Along with support Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. The fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some people had seizures while taking chantix. If you notice any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. Don take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. I love myself as a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. I have the worst cold with this runny nose. I better take something. Dayquill cold and flu doesnt treat your runny nose. Seriously . Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. Oh, what a relief it is. Waterboarding violates our ideals and our values. I do believe that it is torture. I dont think thats just my opinion. Thats the opinion of many who examined the topic. And thats why i put an end to these practices. That was president obama back in 2009. More than five years later torture is back in the headlines thanks to the big Senate Report coming out in just a few hours. Im joined by pennsylvania democrating senator casey. Thanks for being with me. Always good to see you. Once this thing comes out, is that the end of it . Or should someone be held accountable for what happened . Well craig, i dont think theres any question that the president is right. We should not engage in torture. And this report that will made available at some point. We dont know exactly what hour but at some point this report will be part of the public record. And what flows from that should be a measure of accountability. I think its very important that we have the transparency that this report will ensure. But should someone should someone be held accountable . In its found in the report the 450page summery, there were individuals who knowingly engaged in practices that were certainly if not immoral, illegal, should they be punished . Theres no question if you violate the law you have to be held accountable. Its as simple as that. Im in the Intel Committee so im lit limited in two ways. Limited in the sense that i havent seen the report number one, so i dont know whats in it. Number two, have not been briefed at the level that members of the Intel Committee have. So when secretary kerry or anyone in the administration or the intel community, when they make statements about the timing of the release, we have to take that very seriously. Like a lot of senators we have some limitations in terms of what we know right now, based on not having the intel briefing. Theres also been criticism that they did not talk to cia officials. The committee did not talk to folks who were actively involved in some of these enhanced interrogation techniques. Does that undermine the reports credibility. Well i dont know thats true. I cant assess whether thats true or not. Lets pivot here. I want to switch to isis really quickly, senator. Yo wrote an oped in the Washington Post writing they are missing a plan to take out the syrian president , bashar al assad. Can we succeed in neutralizing isis without that piece . I believe the tragedy overall is that it was a sound strategy. Ive said that several times with regard to what the president is trying to do. I think its going to take many years. Its not going to be months or even one or two years. Its going to take many years in my judgment. Part of that strategy must include dealing with assad, or at the minimum, putting a substantial degree of pressure on him so he can bomb and wipe out with impunity the very opposition that we say were on the side of and have given training and Equipment Authority and funding. I think its inconsistent to allow him to do whatever he wants after killed 130,000 people in syria, and us say well that doesnt matter because were going to train and equip the opposition over here. I dont think it makes sense. So ultimately the answer to your question is yes in terms of the overall strategy looking better if assad is no longer in power. Senator bob casey, thank you. Thanks craig. More on this from Richard Engel engel. Still ahead on the rundown. Protesters making a statement outside the Brooklyn Nets game attended by the duke and duchess of cambridge. Well talk about the fallout from the grand jurys decision not to indict eric garner. Plus our own jose diazbalart getting ready to interview president obama later today. It was Stephen Colbert who got the the first crack at mr. Obama yesterday. The president signed a Climate Change accord with china, pushed the fcc to adopt neutrality and wants to put cameras on our cops. Obama is totally out of control. Hes like both guys in lethal weapon. Hes a crazy renegade with nothing to lose and a black guy who is this close to retirement. Curling up in bed with a Favorite Book is nice. But i think women would rather curl up with their favorite man. But heres the thing about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. Well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. And remember, you only take it when you need it. Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. To avoid longterm injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. Stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. Here in new york city and around the country reaction and protests continue over grand jurys decision to not indict the Police Officer in the death of eric garner and not too far from here at the basketball game protesters staged a die in. All as Prince William and kate arrive for the nets and cavs game. Im joined by a key player. Madam speaker, good to see you. Thank you for stopping bip. Lets start with the garner protest. You said from the beginning that the grand jury got wrong. Moving forward, as these protests continue here as the protests which sometimes turned violent in berkeley as those continue as well how do we move forward . Theres couple of things. One, obviously the call we hear from our attorney general, the call weve heard from the public advocate calling on and independent and special prosecutor assigned to cases in which a civilian dies in the hands of a Police Officer. I think thats important to support that and the governor to take executive action. As a city council we played an integral role being aggressive how do we reform the Police Department. But there has to be an acknowledgment and recognition there are systemic biases we to uproot. Theres a role we want to play in continuing to demand accountability and reform of our Police Department. I was struck i cant remember the precise figure. I was struck by the sheer number of officer involved shooting deaths that have happened in new york city over the past five to ten years. Where an officer hasnt been indicted. I think theres been literally two or three times where the officer has been indicted. Is that right . Well, thats according to the daily news put out a report yesterday. I would want to verify in terms the information. Thats the concern we have not only in new york city but also what weve seen with the cases around the country with the brown case for instance. Theres a concern that when it comes to Police Involved shootings that there is a twotiered system. As Public Policy makers, legislators, leaders those are things we have to recognize. I thank the attorney general holder and the president for speaking about it and wanting to address it. I think thats a good direction to go in. Lets talk about immigration. I know youre at the conference yesterday in new york city played host to more than 20 democratic mayors. You spoke at the conference, as i understand it, what did you say and what was the goal at the conference . Well, new york city has been at the forefront, right. Understanding that the federal government, our congress is not doing anything around comprehensive immigration reform. Were left as municipalities to figure out what we can do. We have put in place, which will be in january the id program that is going to be rolled out and that is also available to undocumented immigrants. What is that for folks who arent familiar . A municipal id. Its a id that the Police Department will recognize. Its important as a way of affirming those that are here in our city contributing positively. So its available to all but it will also be made available to undocumented immigrants who provided Legal Service to the unaccompanied minors we find here in new york city and passed laws to prevent our Police Department and department of corrections from honoring detainers that are put forth by i. C. E. These are thing we have done. Were talking about what our municipalities doing but also preparing ourselves for order goes into effect which is january. We thank the president. But now we have an responsibility to make sure we get the information out to the communities and protect our communities against those that want to take advantage of them. Thank you so much. Are you planning on spending any time with the duke and dutch necessary. Not while theyre here. I hope they have a great visit. That sounds like a official line. Lots of developing news from the nations capitol as we take a turn on the rundown. Were expecting the release of a potentially explosive new report on the use of what many would call torture tactics that could come out over an hour from now. We know that Dianne Feinstein is going to be talking about it about 11 00. Right now Jonathan Gruber in the hot seat getting grilled over controversial remarks over obamacare. Well keep an eye on the hearing. We saw representative Elijah Cummings there. Senators bound to take up the issue of Sexual Assault on College Campuses.

Developing news right now in just about an hour from now, were expecting the release of that explosive new Senate Report on methods some would describe as torture. Details will come from Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Diane Feinstein set to speak on the senate floor at 11 00 a. M. Eastern. Republicans are not happy about it. Last hour senator ron johnson told me he doesnt support revealing specific details about u. S. Tactics. This is dangerous world. Sometimes we have to do unpleasant things. Im not saying that i dont believe that the u. S. Government should bear all the dirty laundry to the entire world. I think it harms our effort at keeping america safe which should be our primary report. The report is, among other other things including graphic details of interrogation methods, calling out cia officials for lying about the program. Bush officials and committees are pushing back. The backdrop to all of this new fear it is could spark a backlash against americans worldwide. We heard from defense secretary hagel who left iraq he said he was concerned about the realization of the report but also went on to say sheshes satisfied they redacted all they could im joined by Richard Engel. It would seem to me senator johnson said the same thing. A lot of details in the report have already been leaked. So what more will we learn in just a few hours . Before we get to that i think its important understand what this report actually is. Already were seeing it divided over political lines. Republicans attacking it. The democrats saying they like it. Others saying they dont. What this really is is a compilation of data some of it provided by the cia itself about the interrogation program. The enhanced interrogation program. What many called a torture program. That began after 9 11 and dozen of detainees, around 100, just over 100, were taken by the cia, taken to the black sites and horrible things happened to them. This is an accounting of some of those horrible things. Graphic, detailed account. Yeah. A lot is raw data. Hear about detainees flapping like fish on water boards. Things we know happened but well hear the raw transcripts. The extent to which they happened. And the extent to which the operators relayed what they were seeing to their bosses. Imagine youre witnessing something ugly youre carrying out something allugly and relaying what is happening. The raw data, some of that will be in the report. Its going to be harsh reading. The larger context is why is there so much push back from the cia . And some of the Bush Administration officials . They are saying that you asked us to do this. We had legal cover to do this. The president knew what was going on. The president was getting the full briefs. Con condy knew what was going on the president knew what was going on the senate was happy. They were happy with the intelligence they were getting was aware of the program coming out. And pretending to be baseball in the woods. We didnt know it was going on. You were lying. How was it happening . When they knew well what was going on. And this program didnt happen just over one night or two nights. It was happening for years. What do you make of the opposition . I mean, their chief criticism appears to be in addition to the report itself they used as a propaganda tool as another propaganda tool that this is most certainly going incite violence all over the globe. Over statement . I think its probably an overstatement, yeah. I think the groups that are angry with the United States might use it as an excuse. Fine. Theyll take it up as an excuse because they are already angry. I dont think its going to make people who are extreme turn them into extremists or radicalize individuals. It might become an excuse for radicals to go and march on the u. S. Embassy someplace. That is a problem. But if your belief is and this is a question, its a question of how you view justice. If your belief is the cia was asked to do this did it, program stopped, and they are being punished again, selectively while others who knew about the program are not being punished. The military did quite a few brutal interrogations and theyre not being taken to task. Why is that . Theres a question there. Why is that . A maybe because the cia is easier to beat up on. Doesnt have the reputation that the military does in the public sphere. A lot of questions about that. Justices carried out upon and when. Its another question. Do you think that what happened in that period which was disgusting. It was disgusting. It was something you could not morally defend. It had legal a legal cover, the legal covers probably should never have been there. They were there. But they you should never have a law that made torture legal. It happened. So do you see this report of misapplication of justice too late or as a way to prevent this from ever happening again by punishing those who carried it out or embarrassing those that carry it out even though they had the justification . Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel, thank you. Im glad we had more time. I think were going to be talking about this over the next couple of days. Good to see you state side. Good to see you. More on the report that is again, coming out in a few moments. Also happening right now down on capitol hill a Senate Hearing on Sexual Assault on College Campuses. Lawmakers addressing why just a fraction of victims go to the police. This hearing is happening right now. Senators say one in five women are assaulted in college. One in five. Thats a staggering statistic, but that the vast majority of those cases are not reported. The picking up steam after the Rolling Stone article describing an alleged gang rape at the Fraternity House at university of virginia. The editors at the magazine since acknowledged mistakes in the reporting. In a letter to parents last night, the universitys president said a ban on greek activity, greek life activity that ban will remain in place through at least january. Msnbc continues to follow the story for us. Shes here in new york. Lets start with that one in five statistic. I think when a lot of people here that, they think theres no way thats possible. It creates a narrative that Sexual Assaults on College Campuses are huge deal. Where are officials getting the number. It comes from a department of justice study conducted by researchers. It found that the one in five statistic that is a number that sex assaults over the four years a woman is in college. It was conducted with reliable statistical measures, its been contested by some conservatives and some libertarians because they say that it shouldnt count in capacitation by alcohol. But that is the Legal Definition in fact. What are senators hoping to accomplish today . Well, senator mccaskill and gillibrand are pushing it giving institutions more tools, more reporting, giving the federal government more leverage over them. And also just showing their kind of attuned to an issue that has blown up to the forefront in recent days. How is that being revceived . Its only been introduced. Its interesting to see that senator mccass call and gillibrand were on separate sides of the issue. They differed on whether military Sexual Assault should be thank youaken out of the chain of demand. The federal government has never taken away federal funding for violating title ix. Its a pretty radical measure. It ufrs the middle ground to say we can take away some funding and not all which is a leverage more likely to be used. Continuing to watch this hearing play out on capitol hill. Well be watching this and talking about it. Thank you for staying on top of the story. Not far from that hearing, some breaking news we want to tell you about right now that house hearing on obamacare, again, economists Jonathan Gruber on the hot seat. Wasted no time apologizing for some of those controversial remarks that he made about obamacare and voters. Take a listen. I apologize for the videos earlier, but the ongoing attention made me realize a fuller accounting is necessary. I would like to begin by apologizing sin sersly for the offending comments ive made. In some cases i made uninformed and glib comments about the political process behind health care reform. Im not an expert on politics and my tone implied i was which is wrong. In other cases i simply made mean and assaulting comments that are uncalled for. I apologize for conjectureing with the tone of expertise and doing so in a disparaging fashion. Its never appropriate to make oneself seem one more important. I knew better. I know better. Im embarrassed and im sorry. The Volkswagen Golf was just named motor trends 2015 car of the year.

Were already seeing delays of almost three hours at new yorks la guardia airport. The rain could turn into snow in some parts of the northeast later today and tonight. The Weather Channel reagan medgie is tracking the storm. It looks like the rain continues there in massachusetts. Reporter thats right. Rain and wind. Those are the two big factors here. You talk about the snow its happening more interior new england, massachusetts, connecticut, and also, upstate new york. This tells me the wind and the speeds and what have you. Right now were looking at 7, 8 Miles Per Hour gusts. And today were going to be reaching up to 50 more than 50 Miles Per Hour gusts winds. What is happening, thats going to happen about an in an hour until the evening rush. And the winds i can talk about that, but i can show it too. If you look back there youll see the boats behind here and youll see it moving ever so slightly. Thats what were dealing with. And the rain will go all the way from New Hampshire down to cape cod. And then that is going to happen and get heavier throughout the day. Right now were what were dealing with is the rain. And i have the note pad and of course, all the wind that is surrounding us here. Thank you. Were going to be tracking the noreaster throughout day on msnbc. Prince william and his wife at the latest stop in the american trip. Theyre visiting the 9 11 memorial in manhattan. 67 british embassies died. They spent monday night at the reception. They met Hillary Clinton. They spent some time with Hillary Clinton and took in a basketball game in brooklyn the nets and cavs. They met a sports royal. They met lebron, king james himself. There was controversy surrounding the game as well. Joined now by author news editor of broadway. Com. Blame shakespeare. I do. Lets talk about the visit here. Video of the protests outside the Barclays Center while you have the duke and duchess hanging out with jayz and beyonce. Some of the players wearing i cant breathe tshirts. Its the couples first visit to new york. How do images like that affect their image of the city . I dont think it really affects their image of the city. So you to remember im asked about the royals. Why are they still around . Thats because theyre in touch with social issues. They also put a spotlight on good causes. They are set for true politics and thats why. Theyre not going to get involved in american politics. They wont comment on american politics. Theyre here the special relationship between britain and america and the future. What is the purpose of the visit specifically. The queen is 88 years old. As a result shes passing down her responsibility to her Prince Charles and william. Its about making william more statesman like. It was a big deal when he met president obama yesterday. He told lebron james it was extremely daunting. But statementat the same time its a step up for him. It is all about establishing the special relationship between the future king of england and america moving forward. As we speak here, a live look at the duke and duchess arriving at the 9 11 memorial there. In addition to again, the somber visit today. Last night is the basketball game when they met with mr. And mrs. Carter. It seems as if even our most famous celebrities get wrapped up in the royal hoopla as well. What is it with this countrys fascination some would say a bizarre fascination with that countrys royalty well every society has an irrational need to elevate certain individuals. You have it here in america with your culture celebrities and the kardashians. The royals on some level are the celebrities. Theyre families, we can relate to them. Theyre historically consequential. The queen is figure head to 2 billion people. Thats a third of the world. I guess were the old country. So i guess there is that as if nation there. Do we expect another visit soon . I would think so. This trip is taken on behalf of the british government, not for the queen. And its about putting british interests forward in the United States. So, yes, i would think fairly soon. After the next baby. Shes five months pregnant at the moment. Thank you so much. Appreciate your time. We will be following the royals visit throughout the day. We just got this as well. Royal Communications Spokesperson says that apparently there was no breach of protocol when lebron put his arm around kates shoulder. At the game last night. I guess there was concern there. Youre not supposed to touch the royals or the queen. Not the queen anyway. Up next. Onthan gruber apologizing for the controversial comments of obamacare. Is that going to be enough to clear his name . Ill ask republican congressman next. Stephen colbert, president obama had a little fun tackling the issue of obamacare last night. Even if republicans somehow did repeal it they would have to replace with their own health care plan. Once they touch it [ laughter ] once they touch it they own it. If anything goes wrong, suddenly everybody will be complaining about mitch mcconnellcare. [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking. Feet. Tiptoeing.

Xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start xeljanz if you have any infection unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. One pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Ask about xeljanz. vo nourished.

Back to capitol hill and the much amended hearing taking place right now on obamacare. Economist Jonathan Gruber just ab guising to lawmakers and americans for the comments he made about the Affordable Care act. Gruber was a key adviser in crafting the laws economic policy. Hes been seen and heard on several videos now calling voters stupid. Saying obamacares lack of transparency is quote, a huge political advantage. The recent response to my comments and academic and other con fences exceeds both irrelevance and my role in health care reform. I behaved badly lyly lyly and ill have to live with that. The acas milestone accomplishment for our nation. Im joined by florida congressman john micah who was in the hearing room a few moments ago and heard the apology from Jonathan Gruber. Does the apology satisfy you, congressman . Not really. And he did admit that there was a lack of transparency. He got paid 400,000 to be one of the chief architects and im going question him in a few minutes on the amount of money he got from about eight states. Probably about 400,000. He profited by the lack of transparency and he thought, again, we have his statement that they could pass it depending on the stupidity of the American Public and voters. So we also have to hear from the chief hhs director about the discrepancies and figures that she gave to the Committee Last may. Shes hasnt she already apologized and said it was a mistake . She started out with her testimony a few minutes ago apologizing for the discrepancies, but, you know, you begin to question the numbers in this whole thing and the cost that people profiting like dr. Gruber. You start out with 44 million uninsured. She came in and said they had 7. 3 signed up. They actually had about 6. 9, about 4 to 5 Million People had insurance like me. Im on obamacare. I had insurance. We were forced off it. So were talking about 3 to 4 Million People maybe that actually got insured. Then we have 41 Million People without insurance in this country. We spent billions of dollars on this mess that has been created. What is the goal today, congressman micah . In addition to some of the things that you just mentioned and im sure well get lots of sound bytes from lawmakers. What is the goal . What do we hope to accomplish by the end of the year . You want to find out where any of this has been successful. Who they signed up. The other problem weve got is a few people weve heard testimony got some almost all the other americans got huge increases in their premiums. Spending over all went down for health care. The average american isnt seeing reduction. We have over 40 million uninsured. So we need to look at the mistakes that were made not repeat them. Now that we have an opportunity to make some positive changes. All right. Florida congressman john micah. Well let you get back. Thank you for your time. Good to be with you. A side of immigration youre not hearing enough about. Well hear from an undocumented student who is pursuing a career in a critical segment of the u. S. Economy. Also, much more in our top story today. The upcoming release of the cia torture report which has u. S. Embassies around the world and our military on high alert. Those details, plus a look inside the deep divisions that the report is creating in washington. I dont care whether you have a ph. D. Or an mba. Everyone has questions about money. You know, i think about money kind of a lot. Moneys freedom. Moneys always on my mind. Credit cards. Mortgage. Debt. Its complicated. Its not easy. Im not a good budgeter. Unfortunately, im a spender. I would love to learn more about finances. So theres questions about the world that all of us have, especially about money and finance. The goal of khan academy and Better Money Habits and the partnership were doing with bank of america is to give people the tools they need to empower themselves. [ male announcer ] its a warning.

Learn more about the role damaging inflammation may be playing in your symptoms with the expert advice tool at crohnsandcolitis. We want to bring you a different take on a story we continued to follow very closely here at msnbc, and the rundown especially. Immigration. Its an organization that helps undocumented students pursue careers in science and health. They give assistance to more than 200 undocumented students across 27 states. A cofounder of prehealth dreamers is the first undocumented student at the university of california and San Francisco but he likes to simply be called nu. And newt. He joins me from San Francisco. First undocumented medical student at the university of california and San Francisco. How is being an immigrant, how has that how did that influence you to go in the medical field . Thank you for having me craig. Growing up as an undocumented immigrant, my family has directly experienced what its been like to not have access to health care. So my mom, particularly had to go through major surgical operation when i was in high school and through that whole process going with her to the doctor visits and translating and really experiencing what it was like to not know how to navigate and be so powerless was really the beginning for me the seed was planted what i could do if i was a physician or someone different who could help affect the family and communities. What kind of doctor do you want to be . You know, im really open. It could be emergency medicine primary care but i know i want to work with again, low income uninsured, underserved communities that i definitely grew up in identify with and still a part of. The immigration topic, as you know, is about much more than the Latino Community in this country. You came to the United States from thailand as a small child growing up and watching your parents work hard to make it in this country, as you did that and now so you this debate over how we reform how we fix immigration in this country. What do you make of the conversation . What do you make of it . I think the root of the debate and the conversations are still about having america and everybody understand that it is a human issue. That no matter what is discussed in terms of in political discussions and policies that we have to think about how it really affects people and human beings and families. You know, thats what i think and why i continue to share my stories. Because once somebody meets another undocumented person they sort of continue they begin to understand that were all just human beings trying to survive, trying to have opportunities here in america. I think thats still the core of the conversation and its still being developed. What it means to be an american. All right, thank you so much for joining us on this tuesday morning. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Another quick reminder here. President obama is in nashville today to continue to push immigration reform. And that is going to be part of the conversation where jose diazbalart starts. Jose is going to be interviewing the president later today. You can see it at 6 30 and here on msnbc on prime time and more tomorrow morning on the rundown. Back to the top story after the break. Diane feinstein is expected to take to the floor. Shes a head of the committee that is releasing the torture report that could come out a few moments from now. Why washington has been so divided about the release of the report. Next. I was very clear that in the immediate aftermath of 9 11 we did some things that were wrong. We did a lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. Did some things that were contrary to our values. The Holiday Season is here, which means its time for the volkswagen signthendrive event.

Type 2 diabetes affects millions of us. And for many, its a struggle to keep your a1c down. So imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar . Imagine, loving your numbers. Introducing oncedaily invokana®. Its the first of a new kind of prescription medicine thats used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections urinary Tract Infections changes in urination high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing.

It didnt fall within the antitorture act. Im not a lawyer and but you have to trust the judgment of people around you and i do. By using these techniques saved lives. My job was to protect america and i did. Developing right now we are closing in on the top of the hour. Thats when were expecting the debate on the post 9 11 interrogation techniques to erupt all over again in this country. Thats because in about half an hour Intelligence Committee share Diane Feinstein will be speaking on the senate floor. Her committee will simultaneously release a report on the cias use of what critics call torture of terror suspects. Some refer to them as well get that in a moment mohyeldin. Here to frame the debate the center for American Progress and the former special assistant to president obama, also joined by republican strategies. The release of the report as you know highly charged. Here is just a few of the responses from republicans. Former Vice President dick cheney any charge that the cia mislead the white house is quote, a crock. They said the release of the report is, kwoetd reckless and irresponsible. How do democrats respond charges that the report itself is purely political . Well, you know, im not surprised that people on the right are saying these things. I dont think anybody is surprised its turning into a political battle. You know, the response to that is its the Senate Intelligence committee its their responsibility to provide oversight. This is something theyve been talking about doing for many years now. The release of the report isnt a surprise to anyone. It shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. I think there will be jarring things that are in the report but overall people know that, you know, in the past years we did commit torture, the president and others have said it. I dont think that some of the alarm bells that the right are sounding is necessarily going to come to pass. Hogan, why did the republicans on the committee not at least participate in the gathering of the information . Thats a great question. I think they believe in the tactics, probably first and foremost. Someone like cia director panetta is on the record saying the tactics got the information needed to capture or kill bin laden. On the other side spoken like a true politician saying some of the things are overstated. The fake the matter is the senate isnt 100 controlled by the republicans. Senate democrats knew these things were going on as well. Anybody to have the jaw dropping reaction and feign outrage is disingenuous disingenuous. What is interesting to me what is the political fallout moving forward for the 2016 crop . It has the fundamental question what do we do to prisoners once we capture them . Do we torture or not torture . Thats the bigger question having to be answered. John kerry asked fineeinstein to delay the release. Thats frustrated dick durbin cant explain why the Obama Administration want delay the report when one of the president s first order of business was to ban torture. What is going on inside the administration, do you think . I think in any administration there are going to be varies views and some people who are concerned about what might happen when you release the report. But, you know, i take the administration at their word and yesterday and day before they were stating strongly they want the report out there. They do not support torture, and so i, you know, i cant explain you know, why secretary kerry did that but, again, the administration has been very clear that transparency is very important and they need to get the report out because we have the, you know, theyllonly way to learn from your mistakes is learn them and be clear what happened in the past cannot happen again. Do you think the report should be released today . No. I think it damages or threatens our allies overseas and our citizens overseas that could be in harms way. Weve seen several reports that the terror levels have been heightened overseas to protect our citizens. But, listen you know, jonathan caroline, an outstanding reporter was pushing the white house secretary on this bit of information yesterday, he couldnt answer the question there are varying views, he said on whether the tactics work or not. The fact is the Obama Administration wants to release this. Im not sure why. Feinstein wants to release it. Im not sure why. They may be against torture but they werent against it they said that the American Public has the al qaeda was on the run they said the American Public has the right to know. Thats fine but dont talk about transparency now. This has been the least transparent administrations in history. To talk about it now in the particular way youre trying to get up motion. Youre trying to say youre doing things and shutting down gitmo and changing our tactics were going away from the bush doctrine yet again. So many people in his administration are from the Bush Administration. Theyre doing the same things under bush and obama because the attorneys said it was okay. Obviously i disagree with the majority of what hogan just said. Look the main difference between this administration and the Previous Administration they come out and stopped tactics as soon as they came into office. We quibble about being less or more transparency. Theyre putting the report out. It needs to go out. The American People need to know what is in the report. Well see what happens. But i think, you know, the right is overreacting and trying to scare people into saying we shouldnt release the report. Thank you to both of you. Thank you. I want to bring in Ayman Mohyeldin right now. Lets talk about more about what is going on in the report. What is not going to be in the report as well. Were talking about 400 pages, 450 pages as an executive summary a great deal of information has been redacted. What has been redacted . What are we not going to learn . Well, i think the theme of what has been redacted is snig that jeopardize Operational Security, the naming of individuals, perhaps those that operatives or individuals who may have been involved in the interrogation technique. I think youre going to see anything that could comprise the ways and methods of the cia and on a personal level. I think thats something, you know, this report had been in the works for about months. It had gone back and forth with the white house to make sure that none of the Operational Security is comprised. What of the idea that the report is going to come out and then, you know, immediately were going to see protests perhaps violent, deadly protests erupt all over the world as a result of some of the information contained in the report. What do you make of that . On a personal level, i would say that i dont think that is going happen. Theres a few reasons for that. One is by the time the report comes out, the Ripple Effect are going to take some time. I dont think were going see an Immediate Reaction to the report perhaps today or tomorrow. The respondent use protests like we saw, for example, with theres nothing in the report that people who are potentially going attack the u. S. Dont know already. In the sense that they center already concluded that the u. S. Does commit torture and has been torturing detainees for several years. I dont think theyre waiting for a Senate Report to confirm that. I dont think theres anything new that is going to come out of the report that is going to be explosive on the ground per se. And more importantly the things emotionally charging during the incident the iraqi prison and gitmo were the images. Those images what fuelled people. I dont think were going to be seeing any images of the interrogation techniques. And that is the not going to lead to the anger and protests. Those images once they start getting blasted is what people get people going. Pictures and videos. Exactly. What are you looking for specifically in this . I think its interesting to see the conclusions that congress has made about the program. I think theres a raging debate in the country whether or not these programs were effective. We just heard from former president and Vice President defending the program. I think it cuts to the very core of whether or not these programs enhanced American Security or actually lowered the standing in the world. Is this report or any report for that matter going to do anything to resolve that debate . It would seem thats a debate that comes ss down to your fundamental view of maybe morality, maybe the role of government . I mean, is that something that can even be resolved that debate that dispute . I think the debate is important to be had. I think that it will come down to every american citizens to make that decision what kind of country, what kind of society do they want to live in. Do the tactics bring about the security when its being independently reviewed. When its shrouded in secrecy and away from the American Public i think its a disservice. Once the American Public knows about what the government is doing how its approved that debate is important to have in this society. Ayman mohyeldin youre going to be poring over it. Well be coming to you throughout the course of the day. Thank you. A live look right now at the senate floor. A look at the upper chamber. Thats where Diane Feinstein, the head of the senate Intel Committee which is releasing the torture report shes set to speak in just a few minutes. Were told roughly 11 15. While the report has created many riffs in washington, it actually has the aclu going to bat for former president george w. Bush. The head will join me on the other side of the break. I have a cold. I took nyquil but im still stuffed up. Nyquil cold and flu liquid gels dont unstuff your nose. Really . Alkaseltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose. breath of relief oh, what a relief it is. Thanks. Anytime. Curling up in bed with a Favorite Book is nice. But i think women would rather curl up with their favorite man. But heres the thing about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. Well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. And remember, you only take it when you need it. Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. To avoid longterm injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. Stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. Again were just a few minutes away now from Senate Intelligence committee Diane Feinstein taking to the senate floor where shes expected to reveal the details of her committees finding on the cias enhanced interrogations program in the wake of the 9 11 attacks. That will also be when that report is expected to be released to the public. Were told its roughly 450500 pages summary of sorts. The report some 6,000 pages. I want to bring in the director of the Aclu National Security project. From a legal perspective here what happens once those report is released and does that outweigh some of the security concerns that were hearing from some lawmakers . Well, when the report is released, we will have i hope revitalized National Conversation about the extent to which the cia is a Lawless Agency that needs to be reigned in about restoration of checks and balances as well as a conversation about the consequences of torture. And the kinds of security threats that are being discussed, i think one thing we need to keep in mind is that we dont give, you know terrorists veto power over what the American Public should know about what was done in its name. And as a reminder when the Republican Senate had hearings on the torture by the military and we were able to have more of a national kvgts. That was at the height of the iraq and afghan wars. While we were chatting here we got some sound in from senator feinstein as she makes her way to the senate floor. Lets take a listen again. This is moments ago coming into the news room. That we can examine mistakes and remedy them. And that really is the hallmark of a great and just society. So anything could happen so because of the change in the senate . So youre doing this at this time because youre going to lose the chairmanship . No. Im not saying that. Im just saying its obviously a factor here. There are a lot of factors you weigh. This hasnt been an easy decision to move ahead. Ill make that clear. Diane feinstein saying she doesnt put a great deal of stock into the claim that release of the report is going to trigger wide spread violence. Quickly, i want to ask you about the piece that was in the times this morning. The suggestion from the aclu that some members be pardoned. What would that do . Pardoning individuals who were connected to torture . The main point is to say theres very little difference between what the Obama Administration measures is doing now, which is to provide immunity to torturers and a full pardon. We think that approach immunity for torture is indefensible and were looking forward to a National Conversation on accountability. Hina shamsi it appears the National Conversation is about to start in minutes. Thank you so much. The torture report one of the topics that our own jose diazbalart will be asking president obama about when he sits down with him for the oneonone interview later today.
