Transcripts For MSNBCW The Daily Rundown 20141023 : comparem

years ago. plus, chuck todd, live from the first leg of his meet the voters tour in kansas and iowa and chats with greg orman. good morning, i'm kristen welker. this is the "daily rundown." canada, a nation shaken by a brazen deadly attack in the heart of its capital city that could permanently change the way she views national security. this morning, the message is one of resolve. an hour from now, the canadian parliament will convene. after a gunman got off dozens of shots before being gunned down. prime minister harper addressed his country. >> attacks on our security personnel and on our institutions of governments are, by their very nature, attacks on our country. on our values. on our society. as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all. let there be no misunderstanding. we will not be intimidated. canada will never be intimidated. >> as he spoke, parts of ottawa were still in lockdown. the safety perimeter wouldn't be lifted until nearly 8:30 last night, when police said the threat had ended nearly ten hours after it began. that's when a man dressed in black walked up to the corporal outside the city's war memorial and shot him. the gunman was later identified by u.s. authorities as michael joseph hall, the man shown here. according to islamic media, he's a muslim convert who had taken the name michael zehaf-bibeau. bibeau was considered so dangerous he had reportedly been designated a high-risk traveler and had his passport seized. the gunman fled to the parliament building less than a mile away. once inside, he opened fire again. those who could get out of the building were rushed out, including the prime minister himself. other members of parliament bare da barricaded themselves in a meeting room. >> bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. the sound echoed through the entire building. >> -- like, he realized something bad, there was yelling. >> the gunman was finally shot and killed by sergeant in armies kevin vicars who today is being hailed as a hero. police spent the day fanned out, trying to determine if another shooter was on the loose. they conceded there was just one gunman involved. while the incident itself is shocking, the fact that canada was attacked should come as no surprise. a man believed to be inspired by radical islam ran down two canadian soldiers in quebec, killing one of them. the following day, the government raised its terror threat level. that same day, canadian fighter jets were deployed. canada's decision to join the alliance had made it a target for the militant group. a month ago, an isis recording singled it out, saying if you can kill a single american or canadian or european, a rely on ala. terror cases involving 90 suspects. of course the attacks raised new rn sos on both sides. security has been stepped up at targets inside the united states including the canadian consulate in new york and acts of solidarity in this country as well. ♪ with glowing hearts we see thee rise ♪ ♪ the true north strong and free ♪ >> that's the penguins and flyers, paying an emotional tribute to canada and their canadian teammates "o canada" before last night's hockey game. president obama said the day's events were a grim reminder we can't let our guard down. >> -- whether this is part of a growing network or plan but it emphasizes the degree to which we have to remain vigilant. >> nbc's kevin tibbles is in ottawa. nbc's chris jansing is at the white house. nbc's foreign correspondent is in london. what's the very latest there today and what's the mood on the ground there? >> well, obviously, this is a very somber day here. this city and this country remained in a state of shock after what happened yesterday. if you want to look significantly at where this attack took place, where that young corporate was shot down at the national war memorial here. i've been speaking to a senator and he said to me, you know, what is most significant about this is that war memorial represents the unknown soldier, the unknown canadian soldier that was lost in world war i. yesterday, another canadian soldier who is known to the country this morning for the most horrific of reasons. he lost his life at the place that memorial was built. this is a very sacred place in this country. on memorial day, there will be thousands of people here as they are every year at the war memorial to pay homage to the war dead of canada. this year, it's obviously going to be much more somber and sad occasion. because of the events that took place here yesterday. a single shooter. that is what the police are now saying. this young man had apparently had followed radical islam, i guess is what people are saying. he was eventually killed himself by the sergeant of arms who used to be a police officer and had to use his weapon in the house of parliament. that same senator also said to me, after this event, we still need to keep the doors of parliament open, we still need to keep and show that democracy is what's really important to this country. that's what's happened today, kristen. >> thank you for that report from ottawa. we heard from president obama yesterday in the wake of this shooting. what is the mood today? what are officials telling you? >> it was only at the term of the unknown soldier that they moved very quickly. because obviously of what happened at essentially its counterpart in canada. when we did hear from the president, he had already spoken to prime minister harper and pledged all support. we saw the tweet from the fbi saying it was standing, ready to help. we know that a number of officials, white house officials, are in touch with their counterparts in canada, as are some top officials at other agencies. the president saying we are shaken by what happened, but there's a bigger picture here, something the president has been working on for quite a while, intensively since the u.n. assembly, and that's the whole question of foreign fighters and those who join the coalition to fight isis. it could refocus those efforts in a different way. as the president put it, it's something that will have to be factored in to our counterterror efforts. we're not expecting to see the president today but we will get a briefing from josh ernst. kristen. >> we expect to get more information at that briefing. thank you. i want to turn to amman mohadin. the big question, was this an isis attack? what can you tell us about that? >> kristen, the short answer to that is we simply don't know yet. authorities are certainly going to be piecing all the evidence they can and try to paint a more accurate picture of what the motivations behind this individual's attacks were. obviously, they're going to look at the possibility that there were two types of attacks that could have been related to isis and that will be one that it is inspired by, caused by the group and we have seen openly over the course of the last several weeks and months that the group itself has been calling on people in the west to carry out attacks. more importantly, they'll look to see if there was an operational link between the group and the individual. keep in mind, given the criminal background of this individual, i also believe that authorities will be looking to see if this was simply a deranged person, a person because of his criminal background carried out this criminal attack that has been described as terrorism by the prime minister. kristen. >> all right, thank you for that report, we really appreciate it. kevin, chris and amman, thanks. pictures now from the war memorial in ottawa. just a few minutes ago, prime minister stephen harper visited the memorial. he was there to lay a wreath for corporal nathan cirillo killed there yesterday. on lookers are also gathered there. lawmakers are expected to head to parliament next where they're expected to convene less than an hour from now. canadian member of parliament joins me now to talk about all of this. thank you so much for joining me. i appreciate it. >> thank you, kristen. >> you were there in the caucus room yesterday where the mps hold their weekly meeting when those shots began. tell us what that moment was like and how you're feeling today. i imagine the shocks just sort of starting to set in. >> wednesday morning is caucus morning for all of the parties and our caucus meets on the ground floor. so we heard these pop pop pop and frankly didn't know what to make of it other than frankly it was construction. because we have a lot of construction going on. the security people came rushing down the corridors and hallways and said out, out, out, out. we of course followed the security instructions and stood outside the parliament building. just huddled around. when one of the construction people came out to us and said, if there is a shooter in there, it would be a bit smarter if you put maybe a monument or something between yourself and the building. which would be sensible advice. so we huddled behind this monument at the back of parliament hill. one woman was crying. another woman was covering her baby. thought, well, it is a little silly to sit here and be targeted. we skirted the perimeter and got on to wellington street, the main street in front of parliament. the magnitude of the issue hit us like a ton of bricks and we stood on the street and watched the police operation unfold over time. that's where you go a little wobbly in the knees. up until then, it was not -- it was just so you react more than anything else. >> i can only imagine. obviously, this investigation is still just getting under way. but based on what you're hearing, what do you know about a potential isis link at this point? what are your thoughts about that? >> well, i prefer to get my facts in front my conclusions. and so i'm relying on media reports and internal gossip much like everyone else is. i'm very reluctant to go there. i think you need to first of all deal with the issue of the security breaches. there were security breaches. very significant security breaches. this could have been a much worse incident than it turned out. i don't know if you're familiar with our house of parliament. where the shooter was walking is where i and all my colleagues walk each and either day. i say there but the grace god go eye. >> the prime minister responded to that as well. >> the prime minister is not 150 -- less than that, 100 feet away in a caucus room within the order of, what, 100 to 150 of his colleagues. the opposite is on the opposite side of the hallway. it's just -- just miraculous that this isn't another kind of incident. so, you know, before we go to all of the other stuff, i think you have to go through the layers of security that were breached. we have to deal with that in a rational sort of way. and then come to the conclusion as to what additional layers of security we need. i as a practicing democrat, shall we say, person who believes in democracy, thinks that, you know, the more layers you put between citizens and their legislators, whether there are physical barriers or otherwise, it diminishes your democracy. and i think that's a very serious issue for us. and then you go from there to the wider issues. the individual in question has had a criminal record, known to police, has mental health issues. lord knows what the full story might be. so i just -- i'm very reluctant about the connections, the apparent connections to which everyone's mind leaps. >> absolutely. we do appreciate all of your insights and reflections this morning and our thoughts are with all of you there during this really difficult time. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> and much more ahead as we continue to monitor the situation in ottawa, where members of parliament will head back to work at the top of the hour. and with less than two weeks until voters hitting the polls, kansas emerges as an unexpected battleground state that could oust a longtime republican senator and its republican governor sam brownback. our own chuck todd joins us live from his road trip to break down the huge implications in the battle for the senate. the veeps in minnesota. the first lady in colorado. former president clinton is in new jersey. the president himself heads to the event in d.c. you're watching "the daily rundown" only on msnbc. we'll be right back, everyone. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms?

>> absolutely unfair. one of the things i've learned is we're not living in the information age anymore, we're living in the misinformation age. i think that's what we saw in a lot those attacks president obama had on mitt romney. i realize he's coming here to campaign for my opponent but ultimately -- >> you thought mitt romney got a raw deal? >> i think those attacks, i think mitt romney should have been proud of his private sector track record as i am. >> chuck sat down with five veterans at the vw hall and asked them whether their frustration at washington means they'll vote for orman. here's what they said. >> there are times when he's not will to take a stand. >> he really hasn't come out and -- a good platform, i just done see -- >> you don't know what he's running? >> i don't think any of the candidates have come out and stuck to any hard facts and figures or -- >> you want him to do that? >> i would like to see all of them be willing to vocalize what they stand for. >> i want to -- i'm not sure he's the guy. >> has he made the case for another term? >> roberts hasn't made the case either. >> i sat down with five veterans, three of whom seemed to want to vote for you. and what's holding them back is they don't -- they feel like they aren't quite sure who you're going to be for. they're not quite sure. basically, it sounds like they're afraid of sending you to washington to end up giving democrats control. >> again, i think that's because they're listening to the misinformation. i think what you heard in our speech today is i'm not going to washington to represent the democratic party or the republican party. i'm going there to represent kansas. >> you made a declarative statement. you're not going to support the democrats if harry reid's their leader and not the republicans if mitch mcconnell's -- so it sounds like that's how you start negotiation. >> i believe both harry reid and mitch mcconnell have been a part of the problem in washington. >> you're not going to serve with any party. you're not going to help them form the majority if harry reid or mitch mcconnell are their leaders? >> that's what we've come out and said. >> if that's the case what do we do? >> interesting question. i'm not going to washington to serve the democratic party or the republican party. ultimately my hope is our election inspires other independents to run in other parts of the country and my goal really is to really build a problem solving coalition in the center. >> and chuck also talked to orman about ebola and isis and whether the president should have ruled out combat troops on the ground in iraq and syria. >> i think drawing lines in the sand is really not something super powers should do unless they're willing to do it. i don't know what it's going to come to. i don't know if it goes beyond that where the u.s. is required to put boots on the ground. so i don't think those lines in the sand are productive. with that said, i do think we need to be really thoughtful before we put u.s. troops in harm's way and really consider the full cost, both human and financial, of doing it, before we make those sorts of decisions. >> the travel ban on ebola, where were you on that? >> again, i think ebola's a serious issue. i think a temporary travel ban from those nations makes sense. >> and chuck, who's got the best ride in town, by the way, joins me from des moines, iowa, the next stop on his "meet the voters" road trip. chuck, great to see you. >> great to see you, kristen. small correction, i've in amy, home of the iowa state cyclones. on the campus. >> important correction. one of the things that stands out to me, he will not say who he's going to caucus with. what's his strategy there? what were your big takeaways from your discussion with him? >> well, it's interesting, and he gave this speech before, which is he designed it as a closing argument. it had not a single issue in it. he was making -- he was basically asking kansans to conduct a political experiment. which is you may not agree with everything he ends up standing for but one thing he was promising is he was going to disrupt the senate deadlock. somehow if kansas sends him there, that he is this vehicle for the growing frustration, to shake up the system, shake up the way the senate conducts business. it's one of those things i think sounds good to voters. but it really is a lot to ask voters. that was the other takeaway i had. which is there seems to be he has hit a wall. he has made the case to be considered but he has hit a wall because there is that last chunk of voters who, while wanting to flirt with the idea of basically sending a senator in there to shake up the system itself might be uncomfortable sending a senator that they're not 100% sure about the issue. kansas is still a republican state. that sees to be the difference between winning organize losing here is these last ten days, whether kansans want to be part of what will be a political experiment, if he follows through on promises he made, either force mcconnell and reid out of their jobs or somehow put his chair in the middle of the senate. >> fascinating discussion you had with him and voters there. i want to talk about iowa, since that's where you are. the polls, really interesting, if you look at the latest quinnipiac poll, shows ernst with a two-point lead over bruce braley. what's happening in iowa? what are you going to be asking voters there? what are your big questions for the iowan voters? >> well, it's interesting, kansas is -- is new to the political battleground in the 21st century. iowa is not new to the political battleground. arguably the most organized state for the two parties. while ernst has momentum going her way, she's not pulling away, she sits at that one or two point lead in almost every poll. because of just how well organized, particularly the democrats have been. big difference in the ground game in the early vote between 2012 and 2014. democrats have been counting on this early vote and their advantage of this technology to sort of make up any ground they might lose on election day. as the question here, the simple one, sometimes cliche, but in iowa in particular, it is about turnout. the one part of western iowa, democrats always have to overperform. are they going to get young voters out? if they don't have them engaged, it's not going to happen and you'll come up short. it's more sort of how engaged are iowa voters. we know it's well organized. it tells you that both guys and gals here have turned everybody off. >> all right, chuck todd, thank you for breaking all that down. we continue to follow you on your fantastic road trip. thanks so much. up next, leaked autopsy results from the shooting death of michael brown sends protesters back to it tthe streets of ferg, missouri. why the nfl commissioner can't put the ray rice domestic abuse scandal behind him. you're going to like this one. what is the only year in which iowa held a presidential primary instead of a caucus?

(all) awesome! i love logistics. protesters were back on the street in ferguson last night after results of michael brown's official autopsy were allegedly leaked to the media. more than 100 protesters marched on the streets, demanding justice for brown and calling for the firing of police officer darren wilson. some protesters clashed with officers. now, the autopsy report published by the st. louis post dispatch showed that brown's gunshot wounds included a shot in his hand at close range. some say this gives credence to wilson's version of the shooting. wilson says brown tried to grab his gun. nbc news received this statement from wilson's legal counsel which says we were not responsible for any leaks, including those published in "the new york times" and the st. louis post dispatch. further, we're not in possession of any of the disclosed reports. finally, as long as the grand jury continues to meet and the department of justice continues to investigate, any commentary on this matter should only be done in the appropriate judicial venue and not through the media. nbc news has learned nfl commissioner roger goodell is going to have to testify about ray rice's indefinite suspension. that decision was ordered by the arbiter in the case. nfl lawyers argued goodell shouldn't have to testify. goodell is now scheduled to appear at the hearing early next month. sources familiar with the ruling tell innocence's peter alexander the arbiter also ruled that the ravens president and general manager must testify as well. rice will also testify at that hearing. the ex-ravens running back was caught on video punching his then fiance in february. the players union appealed his punishment. rice's camp maintained the nfl punished rice twice for the same offense. if the judge ruled in rice's favor, he could return to the nfl this season if a team is willing to sign him. we're learning more about the gunman who made his way into the canadian parliament building as members get set to return to work just minutes from now. a live report from ottawa is next. another scare at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. details on how the secret service handled yet another fence jumper amid numerous scandals facing the agency. first, the white house soup of the day. el paso chicken and rice. we'll be right back, everyone. why do i cook?

>> well, good morning, kristen. canada's prime minister has vowed that the country will not be intimidated and this morning a shaken public is striving to prove that true amid a heavy police presence. members of parliament and even the prime minister just a few minutes ago visiting at the national war memorial to pay tribute to that wounded soldier, pardon me, the fallen soldier and those wounded. at one point singing "o canada" in a solemn moment. you mentioned that the parliament will get back to work today, although the building will remain closed to the public. something lawmakers say they hope is temporary. if the public is not able to access this area, they say it will be as if the gunman won. we're also learning more about the suspected shooter, zehaf-bibeau. a history of low-level-type offenses. across the country, increased security everywhere from military bases to transit hubs. back to you. >> sara dallof, thank you. we want to turn to msnbc analyst jim cavanaugh, a retired atf special agent in charge. thank you so much for joining me this morning. based on what you know right now and what we're learning about this attack, does it strike you as a lone wolf-type attack? was this person imitating what had happened two days earlier when those guards were attacked in canada? >> yes, it looks like an internationally inspired attack, from an al qaeda-style, jihadist-style wanna be terrorist. that's what it appears to be. we haven't seen that there's a direct connection to terrorists in syria and iraq. probably radicalized on the web. maybe a local mosque or local group of people. he was well known to the mp. they had revoked his passport, as they had revoked the passport of the man who ran over the soldiers a couple of days previous. >> do you think there's a connection between the two incidents, between the attacks? >> really there is, in if the minds of the folks, a great question. when you see the rcmp commander say if we knew this was coming. one thing is these people are telling you it's coming. they've been on the web for a month saying to attack canadian authorities and military. they're saying they're going to do it. this echoes bin laden and his crew who told us they declared war in america and we weren't listening. they're coming. if you're the facility's police anywhere in the west, in europe, and protecting the white house, military bases, they're coming. you shouldn't be surprised. you don't have security if someone can run into your building with a rifle. you have no security at all. that's not security. >> you lead me to my next point. we saw yet another fence jumper at the white house last night. i want to be very clear. no relation to what happened in canada. still, does it underscore the urgency to improve security in and around the white house? this has gotten a lot of scrutiny lately. yet again last night, you have someone jumping that fence. >> look, here, we've all been there. you spent many days in front of the white house. is there anybody on earth that cannot jump this fence? i mean, we are accepting an inadequate situation. the secret service is, the government is and the congress is, with this fence. appropriate security would be the dog is biting the person as they're trying to get over the fence. not once they're inside the fence. and if you had multiple people trying to jump the fence, you're going to run out of dogs. and of course it's going to be a shoot situation. so you need to have a better fence to start with. we should not accept that everybody -- that's a bad policy to start with, we need to fix it. >> thank you so much for joining me. we have some developing news now. an update now on that gerg son story we told you about. the department of justice just released the statement reacting to that leaked autopsy report. a spokesman says, quote, the department considered the selective release of information to be irresponsible and highly troubling. since the release of the convenient store footage, there seems to be an inappropriate effort to influence public opinion about this case. we'll keep you updated on that throughout the day. up next, a positive turn for amber vinson, one of the dallas nurses who contracted ebola. why she could be one step closer to heading home. and details around ashoka mukpo and the questions so many are asking today, how did he contract ebola?

>> don't think i'll change what i do. if i'm in a situation where my life is at stake, i'm going to be much, much more hesitant to put myself in a position where it's likely i could get hurt. >> doctors say mukpo will likely feel weak for months but he says he doesn't know how he caught the virus but that he got treatment as soon as he started showing symptoms. there's good news about one of the texas nurses still in isolation. amber vinson's family says her blood tests have come back negative for ebola but that does not mean she'll leave the hospital soon. vins vinson's family released a statement saying we all know further treatment will be necessary as amber continues to regain strength but these latest developments have truly answers prayers and bring our family one step closer to reuniting with her at home. great news there. joined now by nbc senior health writer maggie fox who's been closely following the case. amber vinson apparently doesn't have signs of ebola. why can't she be released yet? >> she's probably still a little weak. it's hard to know exactly because she's not agreed to have her information revealed like some of the other patients have. the hospital can't tell us. maybe she needs a second test. usually the cdc requires two ebola tests negative at least 24 hours apart. that may be part of it. but as you can see, people are very sick when they get ebola. and recovery isn't always easy. >> is there a period of wanting to monitor the person before they leave, even after they get those two tests or once you get two clear tests are you in the clear? >> once you get two clear tests, you're in the clear. as we find out, you are not infectious if you're not showing symptoms. once she stops throwing up and having, you know, all those symptoms, she's not a danger to anybody else at all. >> obviously, we saw that exclusive interview with exclusive interview with mukpo, great news, he is home now. is the key early detection and early treatment? >> seems to be so. even the doctors in liberia say if they can get people diagnosed quickly, treated quickly, they do do much better. >> maggie fox. thanks for stopping by this morning. >> my pleasure. trivia time now. the answer, 1916 was the only year iowa held a presidential primary. all elections after have been caucuses. congratulations to today's winner, bradley america. we will be back with more developments out of ottawa. stay with us. u and your honey. the setting is perfect. you know what?

>> reporter: well, i can tell you there was a crowd of probably about 100 to 200 people, amongst them, many mps and ministers as well as members of the public and media. they're on one side of the police cordoned off area. there was a pretty heavy police presence there. they were not letting pedestrians or anyone else go through. on one side of the street, somebody jumped the barricade and made a go for the center of the war memorial where a soldier was shot and killed yesterday. police rather than engaging him, stopped him quickly, arrested him. all of this was happening just as the prime minister was laying a wreath there. this was again another security breach. >> justin, is there a sense something has changed there in ottawa, in canada? i know there have only been something like five deaths in ottawa so far this year. >> yeah. it is a very safe city. this morning feels very different. parts of the city feel virtually unchanged. then you'll be walking down the street, see an armored s.w.a.t. vehicle. once you get downtown, it is a maze of cordoned off areas and barriers and police cruisers. it is a very different city this morning. going forward, have to see what stays the same and what changes. there's indication there will be a new approach to security around parliament hill. there will be some resistance to that. parliament hill prided itself on being an open area. there's yoga on the hill on certain days of the week frisbee and touch football and protests, of course, so this is a very open area. i think there will be some resistance if there's too much of a police presence there. >> thank you so much. our thoughts are with all of you there today. that's it for this edition of ""the daily rundown."" coming up, jose picks up coverage as parliament in canada goes back to work at the top of the hour in the wake of wednesday's attacks. thanks for joining us, everyone. the chocolate you know and love now filled with caramel, peanut butter, cherry, and mint. so peanut butter up some brownies. and caramel-ify those chocolate chip cookies with new nestlé© toll house delightfulls. bake some love™ and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar?
