And the mexican drug lord el chapo is sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. Joaquin guzman must also hand over 12 billion of the enormous profits he generated. Hello and welcome im katty kay in washington and Christian Fraser is in london. Democrats will vote in a couple of hours on whether to impeach donald trump because of his racist tweets. Its not something Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in favour of, so its unlikely to pass. But it shows the anger in the party over the president s attacks on four democratic congresswomen of colour. Last night the house did pass a resolution condemning the attacks as racist. And it was a bitterly divided chamber. All democrats voted against the president only four republicans joined them. At one point the proceedings got so contentious, the democratic chair simply walked out in disgust. This morning, the president responded on twitter endorsing a republican senator who called the congresswomen the four women of the apocalypse and whack jobs. The congresswomen themselves, who are also known as the squad, say its all political gameplaying. This is a distraction. This is a person that really wants to vilify, demonise not only immigrants but even communities of colour, as many of my sisters have been talking about. It is very much. A distraction, getting us unfocused. Earlier i spoke to democratic congresswoman from california, Jackie Speier. Congresswoman, do the president s tweets and what he said about some of your democratic colleagues increase grounds in your mind for launching impeachment proceedings against mr trump . Actually, i dont believe so. Those are actions that are not representative ofa president , certainly, but do they rise to a level that would be an impeachable offence . I would say not. What does rise to that level are evidence of cover up or efforts to obstructjustice. Those are instances where we will be talking to special counsel mueller next week about, and that is the basis on which any impeachment action should be brought. So, in terms of what the president has said about some of your colleagues, the racist tweets that he sent out, do you think they should be new sanctions, any further sanction democrats should take against him . Weve just passed a resolution that condemned his racist comments, and i am starting a new hashtag, which is stoptweetingstartleading, because whether you are a republican or a democrat, everyone winces every time the president takes time out of his work schedule to yet another divisive comment. And the reason we are not getting anything done here because he is not leading. Leading requires building consensus, leading requires sitting down and negotiating with those that have power on the house side, along with those that have power on the senate side, to come to an agreement on issues. He has no interest in doing any of that. You were elected with 79 of the vote in your district in california. Are you concerned that, by making some of the more progressive members of your party the face of the Democratic Party, as the president has succeeded in doing over the last couple of days, you riskjeopardising democratic control of the house in the next election because people in moderate districts, democrats in moderate districts cannot get elected if the party swings too far to the left . So, katty, whats really important is for us to deliver to the american people. And we are going to have to work with our republican colleagues on the senate side to get some of this legislation passed. We want to lower Prescription Drug costs, we want to increase Infrastructure Spending in the country, we want to get rid of corruption. Those are the three legs of our stool in terms of what got us elected. You can only do that if you keep control of the house of representatives, and Nancy Pelosis fear is you will lose it if aoc and other progressive members become the face of the party in the next election. Well, you know, i dont believe any one group of people is the face of the Democratic Party. What makes the Democratic Party great is that we are a big tent, that we are inclusive of a number of particular political persuasions, we have the blue dogs, we have the new dems, we have the progressives, we have any number of caucuses. Thats what makes oui caucus so strong. You know, there was the effort on the republican side, with the freedom caucus, that was a group that started making noises. They are still a republican party, they are part of the republican party, they have a particular perspective. I think that is the case with what has been dubbed the squad. 0k, congresswoman Jackie Speier, thank you so much forjoining us. Thank you, katty. Seemingly in response to all this controversy, the white house today put out a new video reinforcing the image of mrtrump put out a new video reinforcing the image of mr trump as commander in chief. Probably stand up and defend her still today there aint no doubt i love this land god bless the usa one squad under god. That was fast joining us to discuss is former advisor to president george w bush, ron christie. If you are in the can indication shopping white house right now, i reckon youd be pretty happy with that video if you are in the communication shop. Afternoon. This looks like what it is, a campaign add. Ifi looks like what it is, a campaign add. If i am the Democratic Party right now, im going to say the president has been on twitter all the time and has used taxpayer dollars for a campaign add. One squad . The campaign. President has a manager get the whole of the Democratic Party and the country focused on race is an issue. The president has managed. Is that good for him . I dont think it is. I think the president wanted to focus on these women, the face of the Democratic Party he would run against, but there are so many people of moderate, progressive, republicans saying, 82nd, are you attacking people on the colour of theirskin or attacking people on the colour of their skin or ethnicity . This is something that is going to backfire on the president if he continues on this discourse. Something reported in the New York Times today, putting up in the New York Times today, putting up on in the New York Times today, putting up on screen here. In the New York Times today, putting up on screen here. He. We had Jackie Speier telling kathy she does not believe four women could become part of the Democratic Party, but if you look at polls and swing states this week, that is happening can become the face of the dimmick arctic party stop lou there is there is no doubt about that. What he thought he was going to get out of this, i think is going to boomerang and people are going to question some of his motivations. wa nt to question some of his motivations. want to get your reaction to what we signed the house last night. Democrats managed to pass a resolution condemning the president s tweets as racist. Here was nancy policy responding just a few minutes ago. This was as gentle as it could be considered inappropriateness and discussed nature of president said. Were the democrats right to pass that resolution . No. I think it democrats right to pass that resolution . No. Ithink it mixed democrats right to pass that resolution . No. I think it mixed the house of representatives make it look like its a chaotic mess. We should not be talking about race and racism every 30 seconds from donald trump or the democrats. And dont forget, one of these four women in the so called squad called nancy policy a racist last week, so think right here in america right now, we are ina right here in america right now, we are in a terrible row talking about race and racism. These women in an interview on cbs thought the president s office is a distraction. It isa president s office is a distraction. It is a reminder, just the stranglehold this president has on public opinion, and that is going to tell in 2020. How do you fight donald trump for airspace . You better get yourself a twitter account and put a hashtag up there and see where that takes you to make christian i think he has the social media space really mapped out for himself. It will be interesting for me to see how the democrats counter that. Will they have a very core donated strategy for social media . Ifi donated strategy for social media . If i were them, i would pick up that ball right now and try to figure a way to run with it . Why . You dont wa nt way to run with it . Why . You dont want to give that much space to president trump. Ron christie, thank you. Talking about a distraction, there isa talking about a distraction, there is a new video out by nbc news. We cannot show it because of a rights issue. It is a video that shows him with jeffrey epstein, issue. It is a video that shows him withjeffrey epstein, the accused six trafficker, partying down in mara lago. You have to think yourself if that video was about president obama or president george w. Bush, it would be the only thing that we were talking about today. Theresa may has a week left in downing street and has used her last major speech as Prime Minister to warn that she is worried about the state of politics. Mrs may said she fears theres a growing strain of uncompromising absolutism in uk politics, an unwillingness among politicians to find the centre ground. Today, an inability to combine principles with pragmatism and make a compromise when required seems to have driven our whole political discourse down the wrong path. It has led to what is, in effect, a form of absolutism, one which believes that if you simply assert your view loudly and long enough, youll get your way in the end, or that mobilising your own faction is more important than bringing others with you. She was asked whether those remarks were in reference to the man who many expect will succeed her. And however reticent she might be to point the finger, many will see it as a parting shot at the favourite to be her successor, borisjohnson. In a few minutes, the final hustings of the Leadership Campaign will get under way. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent iain watson, who is there. Maybe they might react to those comments tonight. Yes, lets see. It remains to be seen. I think the difficulty theresa may has, she had her heavy artillery outcome of this talk of bitterness come and she did not say who these are marks were about. We can assume she was giving about. We can assume she was giving a message to her potential successors. It will be interesting ifjeremy her potential successors. It will be interesting if jeremy hunts, her potential successors. It will be interesting ifjeremy hunts, if he strikes a conciliatory notes tonight. Talking of political and populist rhetoric ahead of real solutions, she also talked about whether some people were making assertions not backed by evidence. Certainly, borisjohnsons opponents, and ive spoken to a few of them here, are worried if he beats jeremy hunt how stable he would be in downing street, how much attention to each they would be. I assume it was a parting shot at borisjohnson even assume it was a parting shot at Boris Johnson even if she would not say so. The slogan he has during this venue, he can unite the country and unite his party. This is the la st and unite his party. This is the last time he will get questions from the potential voters from the conservative membership. Perhaps youll be more conciliatory than has been this campaign. If she was taking a potshot at borisjohnson, i cannot imagine there are too many of Boris Johnsons supporters particularly affected by that. think certainly because the new Prime Minister will be in place this time next week, the announcement will be made next tuesday, i think most people have already made up their minds and i think the one thing which supporters of Boris Johnson seem to have in mind is, with the government having no over majority, with the deadline for brexit approaching, who might win a snap general election if it is called . Lots snap general election if it is called . Lots of snap general election if it is called . Lots of people are taking the view that boriss campaigning skills, making up for his other flaws which his opponent have pointed out, whether his campaigning skills might see them through under that eventuality. I think thats probably the case. What people are talking about here is not whether he wins but the margin of victory. Right. Ok. Iain watson, thank you very much forjoining us. Well be watching those hustings too. One of the worlds most feared drugs baron, Joaquin El Chapo guzman, has been jailed for life plus 30 years by a new york court. The el chapo nickname translates to shorty but his crimes are huge and his sentence is long. He is a former head of the Sinaloa Cartel, which Officials Say was the biggest supplier of drugs to the us. The life sentence was the minimum he was facing, and as part of the ruling, he was ordered to pay 12. 6 billion in fines. Speaking outside the court, one of guzmans lawyers said his clients sentence was a denial ofjustice. Im not here to tell you that Joaquin Guzman is a saint. Im not here to tell you that what occurred, that the witnesses were unusual than any other american trial. All we asked for was fairness, and no matter what you think ofJoaquin Guzman, he still deserves a fair trial. Everybody does in america. Nada tawfik is outside the court and joins us now. What faces el chapo now for the rest of his life plus 30 years, whatever that actually means . What kind of circumstances is he going to be held in . He is going to likely go to the maximum security facility in colorado known as adx. No one has ever escaped from there he will likely face the same conditions he has been facing here in manhattan in which she has complete about during the sentencing hearing he has complained about for you will be in solitary confinement, he will not be able to see his family and loved ones which he complained about today because his confinement liking likening it to psychological and emotional torture for by thought it was interesting, during the entire hearing, because he entered knowing his entire fate, he was looking at his entire fate, he was looking at his wife and family constantly throughout this hearing knowing wed probably be the last time he would see them. The cartel he built, the Sinaloa Cartel, control about 60 of the mexican drug trade. Does anyone there really thick with him out of there really thick with him out of the picture, Sinaloa Cartel is going to end or get out of business . There has been so much discussion about how much this verdict, this sentencing will impact the drug trade which is created in created an epidemic here in this country. And we saw after el chapo was extradited to the United States that it got more violence in mexico, more tumultuous, because there was a fight over who would control the Sinaloa Cartel. Now it stabilised a bit and as we know, there are billions of dollars to be made in the drug trade, and so its very easy to swap out el chapo for someone easy to swap out el chapo for someone else. It is a very well organised drug organisation, the Sinaloa Cartel, and so prosecutors tried to say this would bea prosecutors tried to say this would be a warning to others who tried to traffic drugs into United States but i think they know as well is a very tough task, and while this was the largest drug traffic and trial in the United States, we are already seen the United States, we are already seen them trying to after others, even indicting el chapos sans. Because they knew so much about him. Bringing in spyware to his associates phones, given the ear to what he was doing, so they probably know more about what has gone awry him then what came out in court. think that was what was so interesting about this trial full of it really kind of lifted the cover off of el chapo the myth, but also his whole organisation. They not only had testimony from some of his closest associates, his drug suppliers, his right hand man who helped carry out a lot of his assassination attempts, but they also had detailed drug ledgers, they also had detailed drug ledgers, they also had detailed drug ledgers, they also had intercepted Text Messages and videos, and there wasjust so much evidence in this case that the defence really was struggling during all of this to defend el chapo, and did you say they are going to appeal but i think that is going to be really interesting to see they base that appeal off of. One down. Nada tawfik, thank you so much. Lets have a look at some of the other daves news.
