Transcripts For MSNBCW The Rundown With Jose Diaz-Balart 20150608

And russia in ukraine. Im joined by Chris Jansing. Good morning. Lets start with isis. Good morning. Yeah counterterrorism was the big focus this morning. And the special guest, as theyre being called were the leaders of tunisia, nigeria, and as you said iraqi Prime Minister. Obvious obviously, hes key to the fight against isis, and hes essentially come asking for more help. He says he needs additional assistance, and the white house made it clear even before the start of this g7 that that would not be forthcoming. No announcements will be made here. He did get some good news from british crimePrime Minister David Cameron who said the uk will send about 125 more trainers to help with the iraqi army. Remember, this is the first time that the president and abadie have seen each other since the comments from defense secretary carter that he didnt think the Iraqi Military was showing, quote, a will to fight. Also the announcement since no new aid, and i guess there was an awkward moment when all the g7 leaders were outside and the president was sitting on a bench with christina lagarde, who is head of the Monetary Fund and renzi, the Prime Minister of italy, and you can see that Prime Minister abadie is trying to get his attention both when hes sitting on the bench and later when they stand up hes hanging around. Looks like he wants to inject himself into the conversation and gives a shrug and walks away. Some people are interpreting this as a snub. We should point out earlier in the day, he was part of the g7 meeting so had a chance to shake hands with all those folks. He does have as you mentioned, that oneonone meeting later today. Well hear the president s take obthat in a press conference later. Looking at the video, really odd, like the Prime Minister is looking at his watch, like whats next . Nothing is next with you, buddy. Chris, talk to me about what other issues will be discussed at the summit. They actually come out with and this is part of what they do every year a communique that sort of outlines what the big things are and what youre going to see is something that Angela Merkel has been really pushing, which is getting the stage set for a big Climate Change conference thats coming up at the end of the year in paris. She wants deliverables commitments from the countries that she can take to paris and say were all going to get together and do something about that. Shes already been talking about that this morning. The other big thing thats going to come out, theyre sending a unified message to Vladimir Putin who was persona nongrata for the second year in a row, you better watch yourself in ukraine because were going to continue sanctions and we just heard from Angela Merkel if he doesnt, theyre willing to increase the sanctions. Chris jansing with what is probably the best backdrop on tv today. Ever. Youre right. Were going to bring you the president s News Conference from germany live next hour. Now to a developing story out of upstate new york. A massive manhunt under way for two convicted killers who escaped from the maximum Security Section of a prison over the weekend. A 100,000 reward offered for information leading to the capture of david sweat and richard matt. Authorities say the pair cut through steel walls and pipes with power tools, possibly over the course of several days to make their daring escape from the clinton correctional facility. Heres new York Governor Andrew Cuomo this morning. They could be anywhere in the country by now. One of the individuals had experience in mexico. They could be headed down south. The prison is about 25 miles from canada. They could have been headed that way. So were covering all bases. We also have a very intensive search stim in that area. Theres a chance they didnt have transportation or havent acquired an automobile. John yang is live outside the prison in dannemora, new york. Whats the latest on the search for the two guys . Well jose as you heard the governor say, they have extended alerted officials in canada, in mexico in the southwest, next door in vermont. They have about 250 state and federal Law Enforcement officials conducting this search here in new york state. And they say that their main goal is to get these two guys back behind prison bars. These are very dangerous individuals. The state police ask that the public take no chances, make no efforts to apprehend them and report any suspicious activity. If you see something, say something. They have gotten about more than 150 tips on the whereabouts of these guys. They say theyre following each of them up but they still have no idea where they are, whether theyre still in this area whether they have moved elsewhere in the state, whether they have crossed a border either to the north, to the east, or to the south. They still dont know whether theyre still together or whether they have split up. They presume they had help on the inside to get out, and they may have had help once they got out as well. Jose. John yang thank you very much. How the heck you get some power tools in prison thats another question. Thanks for being with me. Were bringing in clint van zandt. Good morning. Good morning to you, jose. How weird of a story is this . How do you get out of a maximum security prison with power tools . You know if these guys werent such terrible killers, this would really be the basis of a movie, and it probably will anyway. Two different ways to get power tools. Number one, there are tools inside the prison but these are supposed to be kept very close. You sign them in sign them out when youre working. But theres also construction crews that have been inside. Realize, this prison is 170 years old. So theres a lot of work being done. So as the Governor Cuomo suggested this morning, likely help inside likely help outside. In fact, theres been a female employee that possibly had a relationship with one of the two men, that has already been pulled from the prison and is being questioned as to did she aid these two men or not. And then they leave behind have a nice day notes. Hey, clint, what are you looking at if youre looking to where these two guys could have gone . Whether they got assistance inside the prison or not, what is it youre looking for when youre searching for these two guys . Smart money would say if these two guys got out, obviously, they did. When they get out, they go two different directions. Were looking for two guys. They would want to split apart, head different directions. Maybe one north, one south. Something such as this. But again, they could have just stayed in the local area broken into a house, hiding out in a barn and hunkered down waiting for the heat to go away from the area. Or, they could have jumped in a car and they could be what 2,025 miles away in the last couple days. These are all the issues that all of these investigators have to cover. Thats why the u. S. Marshal service and the fbi is involved. You have to look from the Canadian Border to the Mexican Border somewhere in between amongst, you know millions of other americans are these two killers who are very likely and very capable, at least, to be able to commit similar crimes trying to facilitate their continued escape. Clint, thank you very much. Well continue monitoring the developments out of upstate new york and bring you the latest as we get them. I want to turn to texas where this morning a Police Officer is on administrative leave after this video surfaced after a confrontation with teenagers near a neighbor pool. Richard lui has the details. This is what happened after police say they were responding to a disturbance and reports of teens fighting near a pool party posted on twitter. The texas Police Officer unholt unholtstered his gun as teenagers run. Then on your face. Pushes a teenagers head into the ground. This video was viewed at a rate close to 300,000 an hour sunday which led to this post on the Police Departments facebook. It says one of the responding officers has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation. The video getting the attention appears to be midstream in a longer time span. We dont know what happened before the recording began, but it starts with the officer in question appearing to trip while in pursuit. Get on the ground i told you to stay. Get down on the knround. He catches up and scolds some teenagers. Dont make me [ bleep ] run around here. And tells a group of girls to leave. Notice the one in the orange bathing suit and the man in the beige shirt. The officer pulls the girl in the orange bikini to the ground. On your face. Pushes her head into the ground. Dragging her. Putting both his knees on her back. After onlookers scream he unholsters his gun as two young males run. Two officers rush over. One appears his to put his hand on the ranking officers shoulder. Moments later, one of the young people who ran is led back. Possible discoloration around his mouth. As it calms, the officer explains part of what went wrong. What everybody else did was illegal. You did it and you got caught. The controversial video ends after that but not on social media. None of this would happen if they had simply complied with the officers demands. This, the scary part about Police Brutality is you cant even call 911 for help. And msnbc reached out to the mcckinney Police Department and they provided us with a breakdown and confirmed one of the officers is put on leave. The mayor said im disturbed and concerned about the incident detikted in the video. Well ask relative to the situation theyre faced with. Well be following the story and have much more throughout todays rundown. Former olympian Oscar Pistorius could soon be out of jail.

Sources have said he was paying a man to compensate and keep him quiet about sexual miskublth when he was a teacher in illinois. Hastert is not charged with any kind of Sexual Misconduct and Gabe Gutierrez is live with the latest. Good morning. Jose good morning. The miszry of what allegedly occurred at Yorkville High School decades ago is deepening, and as hastert prepares to head to federal Court Tomorrow hes still not commenting, but more of his former students are coming forward to defend him. He was once at the pinnacle of power, but this morning, former House Speaker Dennis Hastert is in hiding. His long time cheech of staff isnt saying much about his former boss indictment. I dont know about anything it, okay. I havent worked for the man for nine years. Today, the question remains, who is individual a, the person the federal indictment alleged hastert agreed to pay 3. 5 million to conceal past misconduct. Hes charged with trying to evade banking requirements and then lying to the fbi. Did you ever have any indication that any abuse was going on . None whatsoever. Vic gauer graduated from yorkville high in 1975. Hastert had been his wrestling coach and scout leader. Until more comes out, im still going to believe hes a good person. The sister of an alleged hastert victim tells nbc news she hopes more victims comes forward. A friend and class mate of reinbold said he confided in him in 1974 that he had sexual encounters with hastert years earlier. He said we would do things sexually. By the time hastert left congress, a series of land deals had made him a multimillionaire. This shows the clients paid the firm he worked for more than 11 million. An Advocacy Group is now calling for hasterts portrait to be removed from the capitol. Tomorrow, hastert is schedules to join a long line of illinois politicians who have marched into federal court in chicago to face criminal charges. Right now, its unclear exactly who will represent him because, jose, the attorney listed in Court Records for him still has not commented either. Back to you. Gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. I want to turn now to the 2016 president ial race. Seven republican hopefuls were in iowa over the weekend. All of them had either declared a run for the white house or are expected to do so in the next couple weeks. It was inaugural roast and ride fundraiser hosted by joni ernst. One of those, scott walker, even rode in on his harley. Casey hunt was there. Shes in new york this morning. Was anyone able to stand out from the motorcycle pack . Well jose this could end up being the biggest political event in iowa of the summer. You had two candidates on motorcycles. You had two candidates chopping pork. But really the challenge was standing out. Hogs pork and plenty of red meat. I really would be tempted on the general Election Debate stage to ask hillary if shes ever ridden on a john deere tractor. Let me tell you to Hillary Clinton, your definition of flat broke and mine are a little different. Joni ernst gathered seven president ial contenders in boone, iowa saturday for her first annual roast and ride. Airth months before the states caucuses. Huckabee. Governor of texas. The challenge was standing out. Rick perry riding with veterans taking it all in. Smell of grass being cut. Living free riding free being with american here es. Scott walker stopping to remember dday on the invasions 71st anniversary. Lets remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Walker was the only one to ride to boone withernest. I dont think ill have a shot at that one. Also on stage, marco rubio, one of the first to help ernst in her campaign ride. She offered him a ride because shes hes never been on one. My mom used to traumatize us about them. Rubio also spoke to a packed ballroom at the holiday inn. He stayed there to save money and to try to show iowans hes just like them. Miami dolphins. You wont find that many Miami Dolphins fans in iowa. You think iowa is a good place for the republican process to start . Absolutely. From a demographic ss standpoint its not reflective of the whole country. Everyday americans who live in the middle part of the country facing the same challenges and struggles as people everywhere else. Rubio hasnt spent too much time in iowa since announcing his president ial bid, but there was a lot of interest in meeting him. I think Governor Scott walker really stood out. You saw him on the harley there with joni ernst, almost his event in many ways. And casey, talk to me about walker after this. You followed him throughout the weekend. Whats a headline from his iowa trip . I talked to him briefly about a couple things. He talked a little bit about how he got on a bike. He has the Harley Davidson bug. Heones a 03 harley. He said they looked like bullet holes, i talked to him about Hillary Clinton who had attacked republicans for implementing restrictions on voting rights. He also did several interviews including one with john carl where he talked about iraq. I believe right now we have a capacity to reclaim iraq with the iraqi forces there, as long as we unleash the power that is already there of the American Armed forces. You say you wouldnt rule out anything. Would you rule out a fullblown u. S. Reinvasion of iraq and syria . I dont think we should ever send a message to our foes as to how far were willing to go. So you wouldnt rule out a full blown reinvasion. I wouldnt rule out boots on the ground. Im asking about a fullblown invasion of iraq. If the interests of this country are at stake, thats to me the standard of what we do for military engagement. Refusing to rule out the possibility of reinvading iraq. Thats indicative of where the republican field is heading on these issues of national security. You heard similar lines from senator Lindsey Graham on stage at the roast and ride also jose. Casey hunt good to see you. Good to see you back in new york as well. Thanks. After the break, were going to zoom through some of todays other top store as including a confrontation between police and fans at a new jersey concert.

Russian president Vladimir Putin was kicked out of the g8 more than a year ago, turning the g8 into the g7. Hes still a big part of the summit going on as leaders try to figure out how to check his militarys aggression in ukraine. Putin says hes not a threat to the west but leaders say sanctions should stay in place until russianbacked rebels pull back from the front lines. Russia has essentially thumbed their nose at the commitments they made in the context of the negotiations. And russias failure to live up to those commitments is what leads to their increasing isolation and the increasing costs being imposed on their economy. William taylor served as u. S. Ambassador to ukraine. Hes currently at the lycurrently. The big push is to keep sanctions in place, but have they been effective . Russia doesnt seem to be that concerned about them or am i wrong . I think russia is very concerned about them. You see the attempt on the part of mr. Putin and his people to try to split the europeans. He knows that the europeans have to be unanimous in their extension of these sanctions through the end of the year so hes been trying to split them off and going after the weaker links. So theyre clearly affecting. I believe they have affected mr. Putins behavior. He has not pushed further in a major invasion of ukraine, and probably knowing that sanctions can be increased as well as decreased. But lets talk about some of the things he hasnt done. He hasnt clearly really respected the minsk agreement. The situation on the border is very destabilized. It doesnt seem a lot of countries in Eastern Europe think russia is really behind the border and not to worry about, in other words, what heas he done to curtail what we think as an expansionist policy and view . He haas not done those things. We clearly still has the capability and the possibility, and who knows, maybe the intention of further expansion. He has not done what he promised he would do in the minsk agreement. His soldiers are still there. Ukrainians have captured a couple russian soldiers and prot brought them to kiev and they have confessed. They know nay have demonstrated to the world that theyre russian soldiers who were sent to that part. He has not pulled his soldiers out and leaders and equipment out of southeastern ukraine. That needs to happen in order for the sanctions to even be considered to be removed. And ambassador finally, what is it you think, that could or should be done in the future that maybe is not being done to deal with the threat of russia to some of those countries that are big American Allies number one, and also believe in the right to determine their own future and not have the russians threatening their border in the future . That is absolutely the key. These countries deserve the right to make their own decisions. One of the things that is not being done that needs to be done is further support, heavy support, Financial Support for the ukrainians. I was in kiev two days ago and talking to the finance minister. Shes trying to negotiate a deal that would reduce the debt that International Creditors have that are holding, theres an American Investment firm that is leading that and that American Investment firm could do a major benefit, make a major benefit for ukraine by reducing the debt. Thats one of the things that we really should be pushing for. Crewukraine is in need of all the assistance you can get with you have such a behemoth looking at your shoulder all the time. Thank you for being with me. Appreciate your time. Gr thank you. Were waiting for president obamas News Conference just about a half hour from now. Well bring that to you live. Ukraine one of the issues discussed at the g7 meeting. Now back to the information involving police and a pool party gone wrong. We know the namef the Police Officer, its officer eric casebold. He was put on leave after this video appeared online. We dont know what happened before the recording began. Thats important, but we do see officer casebold throwing a 14yearold girl down to the ground. Then pulling his Service Weapon on two boys. Joy reid is following the story. What else do we know . Good morning. We do know there was a party that was thrown by a woman who actually lives in this complex in mckinney, texas. And according to dominique alexander, who runs an Organization Called the next Generation Action Network and who is in contact with the mother and daughter involved the young woman who appears to be a high school student. Shes about 18 years old, threw a party with her younger sister. It was an end of the school year party at which they invited an Interracial Group of friends, according to the network. And then according to that organization, a pair of women, adult women, white women, objected to the party and began berating some of the children who were at the party who were as young as 14. According to the organization a 14yearold girl was being behated when the daughter the girl throwing the party, intervened and then at least according to the group, was struck by one of the women. Theyre saying that there was fighting, there was physical altercations between adults and children at which time police were called. When the police got there, you then see some of the video that youre playing now that is all over social media. You have to understand there were lots of people with phones lots of people uploading video of what they say happened. I spoke with the father of the only person who was arrested a young man, who says the Police Officer in question eric casebold, drew a gun on him, and then later he was chased down and arrested placed to seat on the grass. He has been bonded out. These parents are now lawyering up. Theyre hiring attorneys and contemplating legal action. Do we know why what were the charges . Why was he arrested . According to the family charged with interfering with an officer. This organization is going to make demands today, hold a News Conference in which theyre going to demand the charges be dropped and the officer be both charged and fired from the Police Department. Joy reid thank you. Well bring you much more on the story right here on todays edition of the rundown. Now to mexico and yesterdays midterm elections. Protests continue.

I dont think i have really ever seen anything quite like this in the wild where im so close. Beautiful to look at but so dangerous when sharks and humans get too close. Kerry sanders, nbc news miami. Kerry, thanks for that report. Weve also got other news to cover this morning. I want to take you to North Carolina where the battle over samesex emergencymarriage and religious freedom is coming to a head. They can can canould meet after the state senate voted to over ride a bill. The governor allowed a bill that would deny some samesex couples to marry because of religious beliefs. Ellen is live in North Carolina. Where does the situation stand today . So were waiting for members of North Carolinas republican controlled state house of representatives to convene tonight at 7 00 p. M. Where they could vote on one of the more aggressive pieces of religious freedom legislation we have seen yet. This would allow magistrates and registers of deeds to opt out of performing any marriage they feel violates their sincerely held religious belief. Unlike a religious freedom law in indiana which became the subject of widespread condemnation earlier, this applies to magistrates, those officials who do perform marriages and issue marriage licenses and critics foresee instances where this bill actually affects more couples than just samesex couples. There could be scenarios in which magistrates claim an objection to an interfaith or interracial marriage. The governor did veto this bill but the state senate voted to override the veto last week. Lawmakers in the house, republicans in the house, have a three fifth veto proof majority so theyll be watching the body closely, because once they vote to override, this bill becomes law. I want to bring in executive director of equality North Carolina chris, thanks zs for being with me. You describes the bill as discriminatory. What is your biggest concern . Our biggest concern is two fold. Sb2 is not only a direct affront to the lgtb community saying magistrates dont have to perform their job specifically for samesex couples but its also going to limit access to marriage for all couples across the state. Its discriminatory directly against the lgbt community, but it creates much more widespread problems. Mau so . There are deep unintended consequences. As you said on the leadin, this could mean that magistrates can refuse to conduct samesex marriages for interfaith interracial couples and in order to try to provide some structure to that the people who crafted this bill said okay were going to limit access to marriage for everybody across the state. Has any magistrate ever done that in the state . Yes. Good to know. In 1976 there was an interracial couple that came the persons who came in forsythe county, and sought a marriage license there, and they were denied by a magistrate based on his religious belief. We know this has been a problem in the states history, we knowdiscriminatory, and we cant codify it. What do you go if the house goes along with the senate . Its done, right if the veto is overridden . I think well, you know at that point, assess next steps and take a real hard look at the constitutionality of this legislation. I will say, though that we are really hopeful that the house will not do that and will sustain the governors veto. I hope and predict that thats what we will see. And what are you hearing from the people youre talking to in North Carolina about the legislation . What are residents saying . Residents are opposed to this. They know like we do that this issue is not about samesex marriage its not about religious freedom. Its about Public Servants doing their job. In both parties, people are saying as we take a closer look at the impact of the bill, we realize we cant codify it cant let it go into effect. Residents of the tar heel state are going to be opposed to this. Legislators in both parties are opposed to this. Thats likely why youre not going to see the house vote to override. Do we know when the decision is going to come down the pike . We dont. Thats a good question. We have it scheduled again for this evening. Im hopeful we will have a vote this evening, but house leadership can really or believes they can move this down the pike as many times as they want. So really were going to be on watch for the next couple weeks. We believe the governor has said other legislators have said we should look for a vote sooner rather than later. Thanks for being with me. Appreciate your time. Well keep a close eye on that story. President obama is just about to wrap up the g7 summit in germany, but not before holding a News Conference at the top of the hour. Well have that for you live in just a couple minutes. Well be right back on the rundown. When broker chris hill stays at laquinta and fires up free wifi, with a network thats now up to 5 times faster than before you know what he can do .

The Volkswagen Golf. Starting at 19,295, theres an awardwinning golf for everyone. So i have some breaking news for you out of Supreme Court this morning. The justices have declined to take up a challenge to san franciscos handgun laws. The law requires handgun owners to keep their weapons either stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock. It applies to everyone regardless of whether children are in the home or not. The Supreme Courts decision to not take up the law means it remains on the books. Justices Clarence Thomas and Anthony Scalia elected not to take the case. Were at the tail end of that g7 summit. Were keeping an eye on the podium and we will bring you there you go you see all the flags . And the president is expected to have his conference at the top of the hour. It may actually start a little bit earlier, which would be kind of unusual for officials to do these things earlier, but if it happens, well bring it to you. By the way, the president did meet with the president of iraq in the last hour. He called on the International Community to help counter what he described as foreign fighters. There you see kind of the setup there to where the president and the other leaders from the other six nations have been meeting this morning. With me now is msnbc contribute tore Steve Clemens. Steve, always a pleasure to see you. How are you . Great to see you, jose. Great. Is there anything important coming out of this g7 summit or in general these summits in general. But look, theres a lot of things happening around the world. Is this going to be important . Well i think there are two big things on the president s agenda. One is to encourage european allies to extend sanctions on russia which expire at the end of the month. You were discussing that earlier. And the whole force. David cameron, who was just reelected in the uk, hopes to do that. President obama says there may be a lot of things going on in the world, but ukraine matters and russia matters. Hes also going to address isis and that more is needed. This is not a flavor of the month problem. Its something that will require time money, effort advisers and continuity. And i think thats going to be his other takeaway. Others will want to talk about climate, and im sure hell be supportive of that. And hell also talk about the greek bailout which is more of an internal problem inside europe. But thats why a body is there talking about isis and we also have other leaders from Northern Africa talking about bowko haran. England, as you just mentioned, has announced its going to send over additional advisers to iraq. But really how much more can the g7 do when you have the countries involved there in that part of the world really not doing enough to defend iraq and the other country thats doing a lot is iran . You nailed it. I mean that is a fundamental problem. And i think that as youve seen and you and i have discussed so often, the spreading isis threat under the rug inside all of these countries where you have either people that have gone to try to train and learn in syria or in yemen and elsewhere and have come back or who were inspired to take action from internet contacts with isis players and drawn into these dark rooms and sort of seduced to take action. So the problem is real inside these countries, and i think the president is saying we need more information sharing, we need all of that but i think you hit it on the head. Right now when you compare what the saudis and the gcc countries did on yemen and compare it with what theyve done on isis there is an incredible disparity between those two actions. Steve clemens, thank you for being with me. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Were just getting started.

Thats in the southern part of the country near the austrian border. Thats where the g7 summit has been held and thats where president obama will hold a press conference any time. Im joined by chris this morning. Chris, good morning. Reporter good morning. Tell me what we can expect from this press conference today. Reporter i think youll look at the key things that came out on this today. The fight against terrorism. The two men met face to face. Its the first time theyve done that since those comments by ash ashe carter the defense secretary, some that the iraqi officers dont show the will to fight. Some things they said before going into that meeting, the president saying he expected and saw refreshing honesty that a lot of work needs to be done in terms of fighting isis and then we heard from a body who said that the loss of romadi is only temporary, but he says he needs more help something that the United States, at least at this conference is not willing to give. Also the final communique which is that statement of purpose which comes out. You were speaking a few minutes ago with Steve Clemens about things like Climate Change but i thought one interesting thing thats come out of this is theyre taking a close look at corruption and the impact it has. That would include things like what we saw with soccer with fifa, and the argument being made by some of these leaders that it is corruption that lays the groundwork for terrorism. Those questions will be aimed at the president , including, im guessing, some questions about earlier this morning when all the g7 leaders were together outside and the president was with Prime Minister renzi of italy and the head of the international Monetary Fund and we saw Prime Minister badi trying to get their attention. Didnt seem to have much luck at that. It seemed to be a little bit of an uncomfortable moment so well see if he gets a question on that as well. Chris, we look at the video, and what i saw there is the president with the italian leader and the head of the imf. They were having a discussion before they got up. Now, the other two gentlemen, including the Prime Minister of iraq were there. They werent even part of that conversation, so when you get up they continue the conversation. I dont think they even notice these two guys want to get in on the conversation, and im thinking that conversation was pretty intense to all of a sudden say, hey, lets bring in these two guys who havent been a part it have in the last two minutes. Look at that. These guys arent in the conversation. I think thats what the white house said it was uncomfortable to watch. Outside something this huge weve been in that situation all of us when youre trying to get somebodys attention and theyre deeply involved in a conversation right . I should also point out that they all saw each other earlier in the day because Prime Minister obadi went into a general g7 meeting before he went one on one with the president. But there are some tensions going on. He had to look to David Cameron to get some of the extra help he wanted in the fight against isis the uk pledging 125 trainers for iraqi forces. So i think this is an optical problem maybe more than anything. But again, lets hear what the president has to say. I would love to know what those three people were talking about, the leader of italy, the imf and president obama. Heres a tip from the iraqi Prime Minister because its happened with me and chris jantzy. I just barge in. I just go chris, i need you. I dont care if theres a conversation going on i just barge in. Maybe you need to speak to the Prime Minister of iraq on your point here. Im always surrounded by lots of people. You are. And the mountains. And the beautiful site right where you are. Chris, thank you for being with me. Always a pleasure to see you. I want to bring back in our msnbc contributor. Ambassador lets start with you. What do you think the inability of talking with putin has on the United States and how we deal with russia . It defines how you define the inability to deal with putin. If you define him keeping him out of there, i think theyve succeeded. They need to stay a course aimed at deterring him from russia. Nobody in the Obama Administration has any illusions that sanctions after one year will get him to leave ukraine. I think the fear has been that this war would escalate. Today theyre sending a message of staying the course. And by the way, gentlemen, in just a couple seconds, we expect that News Conference to start. Im going to have to rudely interrupt you when it does. Steve, lets talk about that because one of the things that comes out of the points of this meeting they just released is that reaffirmed sanctions on russia can be rolled back only after the minsk agreement is respected. So far russia hasnt dealt with minsk or anything else right . No, i think russia decided to absorb the cost of the means, but there are a lot of things russia could be doing right now very broadly beyond kiev muldova, in the baltics. Its doubled the number of bombers it has skirting the u. S. Air space, so we dont know what we achieved with russia in the sense we continue to deter them in a lot of ways. Go ahead, sorry. I was going to say, ambassador, lets talk about ukraine spifblg, because they have, as you you said, does the policy go into kiev . No. They have control and they certainly havent lost control of their border area. Is there something ukraine could get as far as assistance to deal with this real threat to their independence . If you were joking about the conversation between president obama and the imf, i was hoping that conversation would be about ukraine. Because for me in the near future, the real drama in ukraine is not about closing that border which i dont think is likely. I also dont think its about a major war with russia i dont think thats likely. What i do think is real drama is whether or not the ukranian economy can recover, whether they can succeed to the forums they pledge. Thats going to be the main trouble, and in kiev thats the focus they would like to see more attention from the g7 and the rest of the world. And steve, why hasnt the rest of the world come to the realization that ukraine needs to survive and that their economy has been directly affected by a foreign power . Because while people have good intentions and would love to see ukraine float away from this ukraine is right next to russia ukraines economy is imploding. There are a lot of problems there. So throwing good money after bad is something that crosses the minds of many. So when you look and compare ukraine to say, greece which is also having trouble from europe which is in a you know essentially maybe not an economic tailspin in europe but certainly an economic paralysis in europe it makes these hard decisions tough for europe to take. So i think the broader issue is not just ukraine. They also sort of need to ask, what is the broader gain and strategy with russia elsewhere in the world . Are we going to have a strategic discussion with them about our interests and their interests that makes sure that this virus that we see has started in ukraine doesnt spread elsewhere. So i think its important to think that europes paralysis here is based on not seeing i have to interrupt you for the president s conference. I thank the people of bavaria in germany for their hospitality at the g7 summit. My stay here has been extraordinary. I wish i could stay longer, and one of the plurzeasures of being president is scouting out places that you want to come back to where you dont have to spend all your time in a conference room. The setting is breathtaking. Our german friends have been absolutely wonderful, and the success of this summit is attributea tribute to their outstanding work. The g7 is many countries in the world. It embraces some of our allies and closest friends in the world. So even as we work to promote the growth that creates jobs and opportunity, were also here to stand up for the fundamental principles that we share as democracyies for freedom, for peace, for the right of nations and peoples to decide their own destiny, for our universal human rights and the dignity of every human being. Im pleased that here in krun we showed the most depressing u. S. Strategies america stands united. We agree that the best way to sustain the Global Economic recovery is by focusing on jobs and growth. Thats what im focused on in the United States. On friday we learned that our economy created another 280,000 jobs in may, the strongest month of the year so far, and more than 3 million new jobs over the past year. Nearly the fastest pace in over a decade. We have now seen five straight years of private sector job growth 12. 6 million new jobs created, the longest streak on record. The Unemployment Rate is near its lowest level in seven years. Wages for American Workers continue to rise and since i took office the United States has cut our deficit by twothirds. So in the Global Economy, americas major source of strength. At the same time, we recognize that the Global Economy while growing is still not performing at its full potential. And we agreed on a number of necessary steps. Here in europe we support efforts to find a path that enables greece to carry out key reforms and return to growth within a strong stable and growing eurozone. I updated my partners on our effort with congress to Pass Trade Promotion Authority so we can move ahead with tpp and the Asian Pacific region and ttip here in europe. Agreements with high standards to protect workers, Public Safety and the environment. We continue to make progress toward a strong Global Climate agreement, this year in paris. All the g7 countries have now put our post2020 targets for reducing Carbon Emissions and well continue to submit other emitters as well. Well help developing countries transfer to low carbon growth. As weve done in the u. S. The g7 agreed on the need to integrate climate risk in Development Systems and programs across the board and access to Risk Assurance to help developing countries respond to and recover from climaterelated disasters. And building on the power of Africa Initiative i launched two years ago, the g7 will work for more financing on Clean Energy Projects in africa. With respect to security the g7 remains in strong support for ukraine. Well continue to provide economic support and Technical Assistance that ukraine needs as it moves ahead on Critical Reforms to transform its economy and strengthen its democracy. As weve seen in recent days Russian Forces continue to operate in eastern ukraine, violating ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is now the second year in a row that the g7 has met without russia, another example of russias isolation. And every member of the g7 continues to maintain sanctions on russia for its aggression against ukraine. Now, its important to recognize the russian economy has been seriously weakened. The ruble and Foreign Investment is down the foreign bank has lost more than 150 billion in reserves reserves. Russian banks are literally locked out of russian markets. They are struggling to support what they need for energy projects. Russia is indeed in a recession. So russians actions in ukraine are hurting russia and hurting the russian people. Here at the g7 we agreed that even as we will continue to seek a diplomatic solution sanctions against russia will remain in place so long as russia continues to violate its obligations under the minsk agreements. Our European Partners maintain they will keep sanctions on russia until things are implemented and that means territorial sanctions beyond july. And the g7 is making clear that if necessary we stand to impose additional sanctions against russia. Beyond europe we discussed the negotiations over Irans Nuclear program, and we remain united heading into the final stages of the talks. Iran has historic opportunity for concerns about its Nuclear Program and we agree that iran needs to seize that opportunity. Our discussions with Prime Minister obadi of iraq president asepsi of tunisia were a chance to address the threats of isis and bo coko haran. As many of the worlds leading partners in development joined by the leaders of ethiopia liberia and the african union, we discussed how to maximize the development of our partnerships. We agreed to have Landmark Food and attrition, part of the ability to lift thousands of people out of hunger and malnutrition by 2030. Well continue to work with our partners in west africa to get ebola cases down to zero and as part of our Global Health security agenda, im pleased that the g7 made a major commitment to help over 60 countries in the next five years achieve specific targets to better prevent, detect and respond to future outbreaks before they become epidemics. Finally, i want to commend chancellor merkel for making sure this summit included expanding educational and Economic Opportunities for women and girls. The g7 committed to expand Career Training for women in our own countries and increase technical and Vocational Training in developing countries, which will help all of our nations prosper. So again, i want to thank agula and the people of germany for their extraordinary hospitality. America and our closest allies stand shoulder to shoulder. With that i will take some questions, and i will start off with jeff mason. Thank you, mr. President. After your meetings here you mentioned greece in your opening statement. Do you believe that the europeans are being too tough on greece in these talks, and what else needs to be done on both sides to ensure there is a deal and to ensure that there isnt a decline in Financial Markets that youve warned about . And on a separate and somewhat related topic, the french told reporters today that you said atto g7 leaders that youre concerned the dollar is too strong. What did you say exactly, and are you concerned that the dollar is too strong . First of all, donti did not say that and i make a practice of not commenting on the daily flex of the dollar or any other currency. With respect to greece i think that not only our g7 partners but the imf and other institutions that were represented here feel a sense of urgency in finding a path to resolve the situation there. And what its going to require is greece being serious about making some important reforms, not only to satisfy creditors, but more importantly, to create a platform whereby the Greek Economy can start growing again and prosper. So the greeks are going to have to follow through and make some tough political choices that will be good for the long term. I also think its going to be important for the International Community and the International Financial agencies to recognize the extraordinary challenges that greece faced, and both sides if both sides are showing flexibility, then i think we can get it resolved. But it will require tough decisions for all involved and we will continue to consult with all the parties involved to try to encourage that kind of outcome. Do you think it will happen before the deadline . I think everybody wants to make it happen and theyre working hard to get it done. Debra . Thank you, mr. President. How frustrated are you that after you personally raised your concerns about cybersecurity with the chinese president that a massive attack on u. S. Personnel files seems to have originated from china . Was the Chinese Government involved . And separately, as a sports fan, can you giffve us your reaction to the fifa scandal . With respect to fifa i cannot comment on a pending case by our attorney general. I will say that in conversations ive had here in europe people think it is very important for fifa to be able to operate with integrity and transparency and accountability. And so as the investigation and charges proceed, i think we have to keep in mind that although football soccer depending on which side of the atlantic you live on is a game its also a massive business it is a source of Incredible National pride, and people want to make sure that it operates with integrity. The United States by the way, since we keep on Getting Better and better at each world cup, you know we want to make sure that a sport thats gained popularity is conducted in an upright manner. I dont want to discuss, because we havent publicly unveiled who we think may have engaged in these cyberattacks but i can tell you that we have known for a long time that there are significant vulnerabilities and that these vulnerabilities are going to accelerate as time goes by both in systems within government and within the private sector. This is why its so important that Congress Moves forward on passing cyber legislation that weve been pushing for. Why, over the last several years, ive been standing up new mechanisms inside government for us to investigate what happens and to start finding more effective solutions. Part of the problem is that weve got very old systems. And we discovered this new breach in obm precisely because weve initiated this process of inventorying and upgrading these old systems to address existing vulnerabilities. And what we are doing is going agency by agency and figuring out what can we fix with better practices and better computer hygiene by personnel . And where do we need new systems and new infrastructure in order to protect information, not just Government Employees or government activities but also most importantly, where there is an interface between government and the american people. And this is going to be a big project and were going to have to keep on doing it because both state and nonstate actors are sending everything theyve got at trying to breach these systems. In some cases, its nonstate actors who are engaging in criminal activity and potential theft. In the case of state actors theyre probing for intelligence, or in some cases, trying to bring down systems in pursuit of their various Foreign Policy objectives. In either case were going to have to be much morae aggressive much more attentive than we have been. This problem is not going to go away its going to accelerate. That means we have to be as nimble as aggressive and as resourced as those trying to break into the systems. Justin . Thank you mr. President. I want to ask about two things that were on the agenda of the g7 this weekend. The first is the islamic state. You said yesterday in your meeting with Prime Minister cameron you assessed what was working and what wasnt. Im wondering what was not working against the fight of the islamic state. And today the bilateral body stepped up, im wondering if that includes personnel. And chancellor merkel was pleased that you gave authority. Does that mean it went through the house, and if it doesnt, what do you plan to achieve for the remainder of your time in office . For the latter question im not going to hypothesize about getting it done i plan to get it done. Hopefully well get a vote soon because i think its the right thing to do. With respect to isil we have made significant progress in pushing back isil from areas in which they had occupied or disrupted local populations. But weve also seen romadi where theyre displaced in one place and they come back in another. Theyre nimble theyre aggressive and theyre op opportunistic. One of the areas we have to improve is the speed at which we train iraqi forces. Where weve trained them and equipped them and have assist in the posture, they operate effectively. Where we havent, morale lack of equipment, et cetera may undermine the effectiveness of Iraqi Security forces. So we want to get more Iraqi Security forces trained, fresh, well equipped and focused. And president obadi wants the same thing. So were reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that essentially accelerating the number of iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped and have a focuslk focused strategy with leadership. When a finalized plan is presented to me by the pentagon then i will share it with the american people. We dont yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of the iraqis as well about how recruitment takes place, how that training takes place. So the details of that are not yet worked out. Would you say that additional u. S. Military personnel are part of whats under consideration . I think what is fair to say is that all the countries in the International Coalition are prepared to do more to train Iraqi Security forces if they feel like that additional work has been taken advantage of. And one of the things were still seeing is in iraq places where weve got more training capacity than we have recruits. So part of my discussion with Prime Minister obadi was how do we make sure we get more recruits in . A big part of the answer there is our outreach to sunni tribes. Weve seen sunni tribes who are not only willing and prepared to fight isil but who have been successful at rebuffing isil. But it has not been happening as fast as it needs to. So one of the efforts that im hoping to see out of Prime Minister obadi and the Iraqi Legislature when theyre in session is to move forward on a National Guard wall that would help to devolve some of the security efforts in places like umbar security folks and get those folks moving more rapidly. This is what helped defeat aqi, the precursor to isil during the iraq war in 2006. Without that local participation, even if you have shortterm success, its very hard to hold those areas. The other area where weve got to make a lot more progress is on stemming the flow of foreign fighters. Now, youll recall that i hosted a u. N. Generals Security Council meeting specifically on this issue. And weve made some progress but not enough. We are still seeing thousands of foreign fighters flowing into first syria and then oftentimes ultimately into iraq and not all of that is preventable but a lot of it is preventable if weve got better cooperation, better coordination better intelligence, if we are monitoring whats happening at the turkish syria border more effectively. This is an area where weve been seeking deeper cooperation with turkish authorities who recognize its a problem, but havent fully rampded up the capacity that they need. This is something i think we have to spend a lot of time on. If we can cut off some of that foreign fighter flow then were able to isolate and wear out isil sources that are already there because were taking a lot of them off the battlefield. But if theyre being replenished, then it doesnt solve the problem over the long term. The final point i emphasized to Prime Minister obadi is the critical agenda of inclusion remains as important as the military fight thats out there. If sunnis kurds and shia all feel as if their concerns are being addressed and that operating within a legitimate political structure can meet their need for security prosperity, nondiscrimination, then were going to have a much easier time. The good news is Prime Minister obadi is very much committed to that principle, but obviously hes in herheriting a legacy of mistrust in iraq. Their efforts to undermine those issues in iraq we need to support those on the right side of the issue. Colleen nelson. Thank you, mr. President. You mentioned that the u. S. And its european allies have reached a consensus on extending the sanctions against russia. Is there a consensus, though about what specifically the next step should be if russia continues to violate the minsk agreement . And also can you deter russian aggression in other parts of Eastern Europe without a permanent u. S. Two president s. And i wanted to ask you about the court battle on actions of immigration could extend late into your term. Do you think theres anything more you can do from the people that would have benefited from that program and are now in limbo, and how do you view the possibility of your term ending without accomplishing your goals on immigration . On ukraine and russia and minsk, there is strong consensus that we need to keep pushing russia to abide by the terms of a minsk agreement. We need to continue to encourage and support ukraine to meet its obligations under minsk. That until thats completed, sanctions remain in place. There was discussion about additional steps that we might need to take if russia working through separatists, double down on aggression inside of ukraine. Those discussions are taking place at a technical level, not yet at a political level, because i think the first goal here going into a european Council Meeting thats coming up is just rolling over the existing sanctions. But i think at a technical level, we want to be prepared. Our hope is that we dont have to take additional steps, because the minsk agreement is met. And i want to give enormous credit to chancellor merkel along with president long who have shown extraordinary sticktuitiveness and patience in trying to get that done. Ultimately this is going to be an issue for mr. Putin. Hes got to make a decision does he continue to wreck his countrys economy and continue russias isolation in pursuit of a wrongheaded desire to recreate the glories of the soviet empire or does he recognize that russias greatness does not depend on violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries. And as i mentioned earlier, the costs that the russian people are bearing are severe. Thats being felt. It may not always be understood why theyre suffering because of state media inside of russia and propaganda coming out of state media in russia and to russian speakers. But the truth of the matter is that the russian people would greatly benefit, and ironically one of the rationales that mr. Putin provided for his entrance into ukraine was to prevent russian speakers there. Russian speakers inside of ukraine are precisely the ones bearing the brunt of the fighting. Their economy has collapsed, their lives are disordered many of them are displaced, their homes may have been destroyed. Theyre suffering. And the best way for them to stop suffering is if the minsk agreement is fully implemented. Christy oh immigration. With respect to immigration, obviously im frustrated by a District Court ruling that is now winding its way through the appeals proscess. We are being as aggressive as we can legally to first and foremost appeal that ruling and then to implement those elements of immigration executive actions that were not challenged in court. But obviously, the centerpiece, one of the key provisions for me was being able to get folks who were undocumented to go through a background check, criminal background check, pay back taxes, and then have a legal status. And that requires an entire administrative process and get them to comply and come clean. I made a decision which i think is the right one, that we should not accept applications until the legal status of this is clarified. Im absolutely convinced this is well within my legal authority, the department of homeland securitys legal authority. If you look at the precedent, if you look at the traditional discretion that the executive branch possesses when it comes to applying immigration laws i am convinced that what were doing is lawful and our lawyers are convinced that what were doing is lawful. But the United States is a government of laws and separations of power, and even if its an individual District Court judge making this determination, weve got to go through the process to challenge it. And until we get clarity there, i dont want to bring people in have them apply, and jump through a lot of hoops only to have it deferred and delayed further. Of course there is one really great way to solve this problem, and that would be Congress Going in and acting which would obviate the need for executive actions. The majority of the american people, i think, still want to see that happen. I suspect it will be a major topic of the next president ial campaign. And so we will continue to push as hard as we can on all fronts to fix a broken immigration system system. Administratively well be prepared if and when we get the kind of ruling that i think we should have gotten in the first place by our authorities to go ahead and implement. But ultimately this will never fully replace the need for congress to act. And my hope is that after a number of the other issues were working on currently get cleared that some quiet conversations start back up again, particularly in the republican party, about the shortsighted approach that theyre taking when it comes to immigration. Okay. Christy christy. Sgrz thank you thank you, mr. President. More than 6 million americans may soon Lose Health Insurance if Congress Backs the opposition to the Affordable Health fair act. Their Insurance Markets may collapse of the collapse. Yet your administration has given very little to no guidance on how states can prepare. What can you tell state advocates who worry that half the country may be thrown into chaos . What i can tell state leaders is that under wellestablished precedent precedent, there is no reason why the existing exchanges should be overturned through a court case. It has been well documented that those who passed this legislation never intended for folks who were going through the federal exchange not to have their citizens get subsidies. Thats not just the opinion of me, thats not just the opinion of democrats, its the opinion of the republicans who worked on the legislation. The record makes it clear. And under wellestablished statutory interpretation approaches that have been repeatedly employed not just by liberal democratic judges but by conservative judges like someone on the current Supreme Court, you interpret a statute based on what the intent meaning and the overall structure of the statute provides for. So this should be an easy case. Frankly, it probably shouldnt even have been taken up. Since were going to get a ruling pretty quick, i think its important for us to go ahead and assume that the Supreme Court is going to do what most legal scholars who have looked at this would expect them to do. But look ive said before and i will repeat again, if in fact, you have a contorted reading of the statute that says federally run exchanges dont provide subsidies for folks who are participating in those exchanges, then that throws off how that exchange operates. It means that millions of people who are obtaining insurance currently with subsidies suddenly arent getting those subsidies. Many cant afford it they pull out, and the assumptions that the Insurance Companies made when they priced their insurance suddenly gets thrown out the window. And it would be disruptive not just by way of folks in the exchanges but for those Insurance Markets in those states generally. So its a bad idea. Its not something that should be done based on a twisted interpretation of four words in as we were reminded repeatedly a couple thousand page piece of legislation. Part of whats bizarre about this whole thing is we havent had a whole lot of conversation about the horrors of obamacare because none of them have come to pass yet 16 Million People have gotten Health Insurance. An overwhelming majority of them are satisfied with the Health Insurance. It hasnt had an adverse effect on people who already had Health Insurance. The only effect its had on people who already had Health Insurance is they now have an assurance they wont be prevented from getting Health Insurance and they get additional protections with the Health Insurance they do have. The costs that come in substantially lower than even our estimates about how much it would cost. Health care inflation overall has continued to be at some of the lowest levels in 50 years. None of the predictions about how this wouldnt work have come to pass. And so im a, im optimistic that the Supreme Court will play it straight when it comes to an interpretation, and b, i should mention that if it didnt congress could fix this whole thing with a onesentence provision. But im not going to go into a long speculation anticipating disaster. Youre a clearheaded kind of guy. Why not have a plan b . I want to just make sure that everybody understands that you have a model where all the pieces connect. And there are a whole bunch of scenarios not just in relation to health care but all kinds of stuff that i do where if somebody does something that doesnt make any sense, then its hard to fix. And this would be hard to fix. Fortunately, there is no reason to have to do it. It dont need fixing. All right . Thank you very much thank you, people of germany and bavaria. You guys were wonderful hosts. The president just wrapping up a press conference. Widespread number of subjects discussed this morning with meetings that he had with g7 leaders, and i want to bring back former u. S. Ambassador of russia mike mcfall. Also joining us is the washington post. Lets bring in Chris Jansing before i do that. Ambassador, let me start with you. On the whole issue of ukraine and the movement they believe this has been working the different policies that the g7 has been taking with russia seems to be working, but that the minsk agreements need to be respected. So far, ambassador that hasnt really occurred. Thats right. Its a stalemate. Putin doesnt want to abide by them. Hes trying to put pressure on kiev. The g7 has said until he does that, theyre not going to exchange sanctions. That was an achievement, that there is not news of any country in the g7 thinking we need to renegotiate the sanctions, i think, is good news from the president s perspective and good news in terms of abiding by the course that the United States and the west set out. But it doesnt mean there will be a settlement. Those are two very different things. Sometimes there are problems that arent solved in years or even decades. This one, i fear is one of those. It was interesting to listen to the president say that putin is thinking and wants to recreate the former glory of the soviet empire in europe. And the fact is that the economy of russia has been severely affected, the ruble has dropped, the stock market as lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and yet it seems, ambassador, as though putin is pretty much consistent that that really doesnt matter. Well so far it doesnt matter. So far hes got an 80 approval rating. So far he has portrayed this economic woes blaming it on the west. Just remember lots of policies over history take years and decades to look smart. Remember containment. Imagine if we were debating containment a year after they put it in place. It didnt have results for decades after it was put in place, and now we all think containment was the brilliant strategy of the cold war. I think here too, we have to have a much longer term horizon to judge cause and effect and to judge the success of the policy. Thats very interesting. And ed, lets talk a little politics, shall we . A lot of politics was discussed at this press conference. Lets start with the issue of obamacare. He says he was asked repeatedly why there was no plan b from the white house administration. If obamacare the very important part of obamacare was struck down in the Supreme Court. Thats right. This is actually a question thats been asked not only of the white house, but increasingly has been asked of Congressional Republicans and the republicans who want to be president after 2016. And so far there is still very much a hot potato attitude that were going to wait and see what happens, but we dont necessarily think in this case the president says look well sort this out. Clearly they dont want this to have to happen. But you can expect that there will be pressure put on Congressional Republicans to very quickly come up with some alternative proposals. There are some in the works. Out on the campaign trail, those who are former governors especially have been asking about this whether or not the state should step in to fill the void. I know scott walker was among those last week saying no we didnt approve this program. Rick scott, among the governors who are running, he too, said this isnt necessarily a state issue, that the federal government will have to come up with a plan. If the court ruling does not only become a major blow to the states legacy but also a potential that they will have to deal with it among all the other things theyre trying to sort out. Interestingly, the other issue of the ttp, the president continues to publicly state that he feels very positive that the house of representatives will support ttp, and hes certainly letting that image come forward, right, ed . Thats right, and were coming close to a vote on that. This is going to require a coalition of house republicans, a small handful, not all of the House Democrats who were in support of this. Once they feel theyve got roughly the 218 they need to pass, its expected it will happen. The president did take over with him a handful of House Democrats who recently expressed support for the trade deal. The idea is to not only award them for their decision to back the bill but also hopefully to get them to go back to washington this week and sort of help build sort for it. If it doesnt happen this week or next thats a real sign its falling apart as Speaker Boehner said he doesnt want this running into july. And also the president , im quoting him, thousands of foreign fighters are still streaming into syria and then going into iraq. Clearly turkey is a key player in this. The president was clear that more needs to be done with dealing with turkey and how it lets folks go right into syria pretty much uninterrupted. Yes. I mean obviously that was discussed with the iraqi Prime Minister. Hes trying to get more people involved to try to deal with this crisis. And its clear from his remarks in the press conference and the question that he answered that he doesnt believe enough is being done. He wants to internationalize the effort. Ambassador mcfall and ed okeefe, thank you both for being with me. I appreciate your time. We have much more news ahead, including breaking news out of the Supreme Court. Well have that for you next right here on the rundown. Stay with me. When i started at the shelter, no one wanted benny. So i adopted him. Hes older so he needs my help all day.

Together, were building a better california. Now to some breaking news out of the Supreme Court and the justices decision to side with the president and his exclusive power to grant foreign recognition to a foreign sovereign, meaning congress cannot force the state department to put jerusalem, israel is u. S. Passports of american citizens born in that city. Nbc justice correspondent pete williams. Good morning, pete. Parties in the administrations white house is just to put jerusalem for an american citizen born in that city, but congress in 2002 passed a law saying if the parents wanted to say jerusalem, israel then the state department should do it. The government always tried not to do it because it would take sides on who really controls jerusalem, one of the most sensitive points in the middle east. And they said thats not for congress to say, thats for the president to say. One other thing of interest here today, jose the Supreme Court declined to take up a challenge to san franciscos handgun law. Several residents had said it was too restrictive and said if you have a handgun at home for selfdefense, you either have to have it locked in a cabinet or with a trigger lock that can only be opened by a key. The challengers putting a 79yearold woman saying if someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night, youll be fumbling with your glasses trying to remember the combination to get your gun, but the Supreme Court let down that law saying while it does burden the Second Amendment, its not a severe burden. Two of the justices here said congress and the court should have taken the case. By refusing to take it the Court Somehow less respectful of the Second Amendment than the other Constitutional Rights jose. Pete williams thank you for that story, that live report. For the First Time Since the indictment was announced, hastert makes his First Court Appearance. Lets go with andrew shaw, executive director with the Watchdog Group of the veteran organization. Andy, good to see you. Tell me about the arraignment tomorrow. What can we expect . Jose were referring to this as dday in chicago. Thats dennys day. This will be his first appearance in court in what i have to say has been the most peculiar political Corruption Case ive ever seen. Remember, there wasnt a single word about this coming. It was a bombshell when it was announced two weeks ago. Thats unheard of. You normally have a lot of scuttlebutt that somebody is facing charges. Secondly, we havent seen or heard from the exspeaker in two weeks, nor do we know who his attorney is nor do we know what hes likely to do tomorrow. What we do know is there will be a phalanx of media and cameras, hell be walking the socalled gaunt gauntlet into the Federal Building a couple blocks from me in chicago, and tomorrow well find out who his attorney is. My feeling from watching these kinds of cases for many years is we havent seen the exspeaker because of the embarrassment and the humiliation of the entire sordid case but more importantly, that he is probably scrambling now to figure out how to cut a plea deal to end this as quickly as possible. Yeah but andy very odd. Not even a spokesperson coming up with a statement, nothing. Total silence. Well that apparently means that this is so humiliating, so embarrassing and so shocking to the speaker himself, the exspeaker, that he has not figured out a way to deal with it. Tomorrow he could do a little more than simply plead not guilty and let the thing play out, but this is unprecedented, it is enormously strange and bizarre, and more importantly, our other shoe is going to drop. We know he was paying somebody a lot of money for alleged abuse, but then the sister of another victim comes forward, a victim who wasnt trying to settle anything with hastert. So you have one or two victims and the possibility that more could surface along the way. This is unbelievable. Andy shaw good to see you. Thanks for being with me. You, too.

Two murderers described as extremely dangerous has now expanded into canada and mexico. This morning new questions are being raised about whether the men had inside help pulling off their escape from a maximum security prison in upstate new york. The search for richard mack and david swet is now in its third day and they say the men literally could be anywhere. The state of new york is offering a 100,000 reward. Over the weekend agents searched homes and cars chasing over 150 leads. Officials are separately investigating how the two carried out their plot. Police say mack used power tools to cut steel walls behind the beds before climbing on a catwalk. Then then broke into another brick wall cut in and around a pipe before
