Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Absolute positive proof of identity on social media, otherwise youll get bchblg of people to leave because its unsayre. So whats the middle ground here . How do you keep Facebook Free while not u allowing it to be b rebust platform . Thats the conflict youre seeing play out with the executives. If you hear Mark Suctizuckerber interview, they are really trying to come to religion on this particular issue. How do they on the one hand shut down obvious Patent Misinformation that is designed to mislead while still allowing people in Mark Zuckerbergs words to be b wrong on the internet sometimes. This is something youll see members of congress probing facebook out consistently. I think youve seen change in exactly where the company feels like that line is going to be
drawn. Theyre under a lot of political pressure, trying to bring down outlets that are monotizing. Some of this mission information, some of the outlets. Only so far. Theyre trying to get a few hits and those trying to do it with no only intention, two and a half years ago, we were worry about people monotizing fake news on the internet. That still happens, but now, the issue is influntsing us. Thanks, everybody. All right, while foreign actors continue to understounderstood the threat on americas digital infrastructure, not talking about Social Moedia here is playing out. I want to bring in tom winter. Tom, social media is easier for us to get our head around. We dont think things like our
air Traffic Control and Transportation Systems are subject to penetration, but they are. Well, they are. You have this extraordinary event today. The backdrop of secretary nielsens statements where she said let me be clear, our Intelligence Community had it right. It was the russians. We know that and they know that. You have this very declarative statement her, but in the backdrop, you have the head of the southern companies, one of the large u. S. Energy providers. The ceo at t and mastercard. The director of the fbi and the secretary of energy, rick perry there. Its all against this backdrop of a real increasing concern. She agreed with dan coates saying the system the blinking red. An analogy ta goes wak to 9 11 when that was being talked about bf the September 11th attacks. I think theres real urgency here based on what weve heard today that we are in a situation here where were looking at people who have been able to get
access to their foreign actor, director wray saying its no longer these nation states. Meaning try to get our secrets, our military information. But now, you have them working with hacking groups. In these various third party people that can go in and try to get access to these systems and its a real Collaborative Group thats trying to be set up. Most of the u. S. Is critical frugs and when it comes to cyber its all private. Our cell phone companies. The its private. That might be a good thing, right . There might be a robust response from the private sector. Well, its going to hit their wallet. So in other words, if you shut down the electrical grid, this customer is not paying for electricity. Theres the Free Market Incentive for them to be able the get on board to be able to work with federal Law Enforcement for you guys to say can you give us a picture of whats going on. How can we Work Together with the information that you have, how can can we build that level of trust. Thats what theyre talking
about so that the private Sector Companies are preparing for this, that theyre getting the best information. At the same point, the private Sector Companies realize weve got to give you guys a heads up and all the stream of traffic theyre getting, you and i paying the bill, their vendors accessing them or money going back and forth to pay fuel suppliers. They know patterns. Whether youre a cell phone or energy company. Or mastercard. Exactly. They know what that traffic looks like and now theyre teaming up with additional u. S. Super computing power, which has been a concern for a long time because china had been overtaking us on that in that real m. So theyre trying to Work Together and come up and be able to get to these solutions before we have a version of a cyber 9 11, which is a real concern at this point. Thats what we keep hearing. Thanks for your reporting on this. Whats the white house doing about this continued and on going threat . Based on our latest reporting, its not clear. No plan in place and no one in
charge. For more on this, im joined by our National Security and intelligence reporter, ken. I was thrilled to see Kirsten Nielsen was unequivocal, but member of trumps cabinet said theres a need for a unified effort to combat hacking, other nations influenced, both in the election that tom was just talking about. Why is it this white house struggling to do this. Well, my sources tell me that President Trump has not been able to get past the idea that foreign election intervention questions his legitimacy as president and as election. So theres a vacuum of leadership on this from the oval office. The reason thats so important is because look, youve been talking about facebook an how easy it is to set them up. Is it reasonable to expect private companies i think the answer is no. The russians are always going to
get in. They need to be deterred is what experts tell me. This behavior needs to come at a cost to them and so far, the u. S. Intelligence community t the military, the white house, have not imposed the cost on russia for this. Thats got to stastart from the house. When i talk to intelligence officials, they sound like people sounded after 9 11. Agencies were doing things, but not talking to each other. Not sharing information. Gaps, an absence of leadership. We need guidance to solve this problem. The white house has done away with their cybersecurity coordinator. The white house decided into the presidency, there there wasr Fraud Problem and set up a National Commission on that. Didnt amount to a hill of be beans. We dont even have the optics of that when it comes to cybersecurity in america. Thats right. For example, on the election interference, we could have use ed a National Commission to get to the bottom of the mechanics of what happened. Muellers investigating whether
there was criminality, but how about just the policy issues here and what were the gaps in the law, which is exactly what we did after 9 11. We create d the department of Homeland Security as a society appropriated money. None of that is happening because it requires president ial leadership. People in congress are proposing bills and theyre going nowhere. Thanks. We will of course stay on top of this story and bring you new developments as they come in, but now, Opening Statements are underway in the trial of paul manafort. The president s former Campaign Chairman. It took just about fohours for of six women and men to be selected. This is the first skrech from inside the Virginia Court roochlt he is facing dozens of charges. This is a big test for the mule investigation. The first trial despite numerous indictments. The government seems to be
wasting no time. Well follow the trial and brick you developments. Come up, americans are feeling the impact of President Trumps trade war. The ones weve bb hearing from a lot, farmers, many of whom who come from a state who helped put the president in the white house. Youre watching b msnbc. vo i was born during the winter of 77. I first met james in 5th grade. We got married after college. And had twin boys. But then one night, a truck didnt stop. But thanks to our forester, neither did our story. And thats why well always drive a subaru. Its a hightech sleep revolution. The sleep number 360 smart bed intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts. So you wake up ready to run the world. The new sleep number 360 smart bed, from 999. China has imposed a 25 tariff on milk, yogurt, cheese and other products. Canada has not imposed a tariff, but has a 270 tariff on dairy imports above the quota that has been negotiated with the United States. Mexico is the top market for u. S. Dairy exports. With china and canada not far behind. Wisconsin is as you know, one of americas top dairy producing states. Maybe its the top one. It couldnt come at a worse time as farmers are struggling to deal with an overproduction of milk. Von hilliard has been traveling across the country taking a look at the tariffs. He joins us now from a dairy farm in plymouth, wisconsin. Good afternoon. You said it. Milk industry was already struggling here. Over the last three years, theyve been dealing with overproduction. Theyve been getting a higher yield, more milk produceded, but theyve had to complete with the likes of alternatives to milk. Soy, almond, so what has happened, the president has name checked these farmers. Wisconsin Dairy Farmers for wangs This Trade War as it stands. While hes noted that canada has high tariffs on u. S. Dairy product, what has happened as a result of This Trade War is as you mentioned. China and mexico have now put on tariffs on u. S. Dairy products. For example, 90 of u. S. Cheese goes over to mexico. Thats 400 million worth. A huge Export Market for this country. And to note, when were on farms here, like this is mikes farm. Mike and his wife, they chose to expand farm the 1300 cows. Thats a major operation. He said they are having to borrow from the bank to keep afloat. They have 30 employees and thats why he says he have to have that confidence for the president to ultimately open up those markets back into china,
mexico and canada. Thbs what mike told us just yesterday. Its a, its been a tough couple of years here. We are not able to cash flow at the current milk prices. Weve had better times. Theres a lot of things that affect the milk price. Trade. Tariffs. It tacks a strong will once in a while to open your check and see what you havent made. What you have lost per se and try to farm every day. When the agricultural out here in the community dies, the whole community dies. You know, we offer jobs. Our 30 employees, they rely on us for their paycheck. As you heard from mike there, this is significant right here. 9500 Dairy Farmers in wisconsin alone. Hes been farming since 1851, his family has. Theres these manufacturing plants. Exports to 49 different coun countries. I want to correct a quick fact. Its 28 of u. S. Cheese that foreclosure goes to mexico. 400 million. One other note, its not just cheese. Not just milk. Its harley davidson. Its soybeans. Its corn farmers. Cranberries. The paper companies. You said that 90 is cheese so, if the farm youre on, if theyre selling their cheese to their milk to sartori and the
cheese doesnt get exported, its not easy for that farmer to find someone else to buy his milk. Thats right. This farm that were standing on here, they sell all of their milk to the Cheese Company and when they lose their market in china, in mexico, which they have, really this farm here, they have no control. Over their milk because they rely on sartori to build up the foreign markets so when they come back and say sorry, we dont have a place to sell. Cheese goes down. The price of milk goes down. O while people in their homes will get a better price, its the folks here k mig, lori, paul et, its all of these farmers, the ones that arent going to be able to sustain these farms for much longer. Thanks for your continued work on figuring out the people being affected. Coming up, a new gun debate is taking shape on capitol hill. Maybe one that the president and the democrats agree on. 3d prined guns. The new push to stop a guy from telling everyone from how to make them. Youre watching msnbc. The fact is, there are over ninetysix hundred roads named park in the u. S. Its americas most popular street name. But Allstate Agents know thats where the similarity stops. If youre on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the Washoe Zephyr could damage your siding. And thats very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. But no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local Allstate Agents knows yours. Now that you know the truth, are you in good hands . I couldnt catch my breath. It was the last song of the night. It felt like my heart was skipping beats. They said i had afib. Whats afib . I knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. I needed answers. My doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration Blood Thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your bodys natural bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. For afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. Do not take xarelto® if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. Before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems.

They would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didnt cut off the light. The teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. So they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. We actually saved 50,000. And thats just one school, two semesters, three girls. Together, were building a better california. Got a live look at president
trump trying depart joint base andrews. A little later on, holding rally. During the president s executive time this morning, he thrust into the spotlight the very controversial issue of 3d printed guns, tweeting hes looking into it and talked to the nra about it, which is puzing l, giving hes the president and has agencies he can talk to about this. Lets see why we are not talking about printed guns ch last month, the Department Of Justice and the State Department surprised everyone by dropping its lawsuit against a designer from post iing his blueprints f printing guns. Cody wilson has argued his violated his first ament rights, so now, about 20 states are suing him as well as the State Department to block wilson from putting the plans online. But theyre sort of too late because the Company Posted the plans last friday and the plans have been down loaded thousands of times. I want to take a look at what
they are. Conventional gunman fak manufac requires a serial number so they can be fras traced, but with a printer, theres no way to enforce those laws. Among the fire warms and components are plans to print a full size beretta m 9 and receiver for ark r5. You cant print the entire rifle, but you can print several key components that allowed the desire to fire 600 rounds in this test this year. And more concerning to lawmakers is the liberator. The first weapon designed by wilson to single shot polymer weapon. The only non3d parts in this are
the ammunition and a small nail. Now some Worryle Firearms Act of 1988 and can be brought undetected into schools, planes and other public places. Coming to a theatre near you, come tog a school near you. Coming to a sports stadium, to any public place. These ghost guns are a new way in gun violence. Ghost guns is what theyre being called. For more, im joined by andy greenberg. Youve spent a lot of time on this. Ive been talking to wilson who created this for six years now. Since he first declared this was thiz goal and in 2013 when he fired the first gun f i was there. Whats his thinking on this . He calls himself an anarchisting even an extremist, he wants to be able to access a gun. Hes willing to allow even some of those people to get guns. Not his goal, but hes willing to risk that for this larger purpose of just e vis rating all gun control. Because hes an anarchist or libertarian, he doesnt think government should be imposing restriction. He sees this as a demonstration of the era where Technology Trumps law. And essentially government becomes obsolete. Thanks to the internet. What does he make of the law in is he trying get a Supreme Court case or working to work around existing laws . Hes a former law student. A Law School Dropout and he is r
very smart and kind of almost devious in finding these cracks in the law wher
