9:05 am
after the killing i condemn the heinous attack against our consular staff and their real i wish god's mercy for our personnel who were martyred we are continuing our initiatives with the local and iraqi authorities to find the perpetrators as soon as possible the turkish foreign minister says turkey is ready to assist. us according to information we gathered a turkish diplomat stationed in our consulate was attacked by 3 people while she was eating lunch in a restaurant a colleague passed away make god have mercy on his soul. with borders extending to syria turkey and iran northern iraq has remained a complicated international battle ground in the eastern part iranian forces have been targeting iran kurdish fighters while turkey has also been targeting kurdish separatists in northern iraq the kurdistan workers party or p.k. has denied responsibility after speculation in turkish media since isis defeated security has been relaxed in iraq's kurdish region many aid organizations run their
9:06 am
operations from a real because the northern city is viewed as relatively secure but this attack on the turkish diplomatic team go through the fragility of security in iraq. with al-jazeera back that. turkey has called the u.s. decision to suspend it from the f. $35.00 fighter jet program unfair and said it would harm relations between the 2 and the u.s. says it made the move out to chirk he began accepting delivery of russia's s 400 air defense system last week for months washington tried to convince ankara to pull out of that deal the u.s. says russia would have access to covert military information if turkey acquired both systems joel rubin is the president of the washington strategy group and he's a former deputy assistant secretary of state for the obama administration and he says turkey does not have washington support. it's very unfortunate and i need to emphasize as well that. turkey is a nato ally a very significant one an important partner of the united states so this is not
9:07 am
a simple 6 you ation unwinding the program it may take in till the middle of next year for for the supply chain to be moved to other locations the pentagon will have to find other purchasers for theft 30 five's the pilots the training they have already been essentially kicked out of the program so there are a lot of angles to this and it will create tensions with the turkish military at a time when we don't need more tensions with allied militaries in the middle east but again this is a situation where it just was seen by the pentagon and the white house as well as too risky to allow the f. 35 program to go to turkey at this time and this could be rumor ng in a lot of negative ways potentially for nato and it's been a concern of of washington that there are downside risks to this sale being being collapsing we need to have a con professional relationship with the turkish military and we have had one for
9:08 am
decades but again this is not a surprise this is not something that came out of left field i think the president in his rhetoric is making it clear that he doesn't want to go too far there's still more that can be done as well it's worth mentioning that they're saying sions that the congress put forward if turkey were to go forward with this and it's up now to president trump to decide what sanctions to impose or if he will impose any sanctions. puerto rico governor ricardo. saying in office despite days of protests calling for his resignation. the demonstrations are sparked by leaked online chats hitting the governor and his closest allies those conversations included messages mistake and a homophobic comment. joins us now from the capital sun who won gabriel i know it's quite late there but at one point tens of thousands of people were on the streets tell us what's feel this outrage that's right it's
9:09 am
a little after 8 pm here local time in the capital puerto rico and there were tens of thousands of people by some estimates between 527-5000 people on the streets here all not asking for the governor to step down but demanding it this all stems from nearly 900 pages of private text messages that were released that were leaked to investigative journalism organization here and then released publicly between the governor and some of his top aides and the messages were absolutely damning where the governor was making fun of his own people making fun of political opponents very sexist comments as well and even went so far and one message to joke about the possibility of shooting the popular female mayor of san juan puerto rico add all of this up and it absolutely was devastating it really made so many people in this country so angry they say that he must step
9:10 am
down because of this now that's why we've seen so many people on the streets here in puerto rico this is a political crisis that started with just a small protest a few days ago but now has grown into a massive street demonstrations well the protesters have been very clear as to what they want but what's the governor saying. yeah even before these leaks came out 2 top officials his secretary of state i'm sorry the f.b.i. already arrested his education secretary and another top cabinet minister for alleged corruption so there is already a lot of dissatisfaction since the leaks came out 2 more cabinet ministers say they'll step down but that's not enough for the protesters the governor says he's defiant and while he admits mistakes and he said a lot of bad things in these messages the text private messages he said he's done
9:11 am
nothing illegal and he says he has no plans to step down. in san juan for us thank you. a u.s. court has sentenced mexican drug lord chapo guzman to life in prison plus 30 years he was convicted in february of murder conspiracy and drug trafficking prosecutors say he sold more than $12000000000.00 worth of illegal drugs. lawyer says the trial was unfair and he will appeal the decision this case was simply an inquisition it was a show trial and how it ended is exactly perfect for that description in that it didn't make a difference what the jury. saw what they said what they discussed what they voted on at the end of the day all that mattered was the government's evidence about how flawed it may have been the matter how many lunatics and sociopaths and psychopaths
9:12 am
that it depended on all that mattered was the evidence and the jury be damned with a history of escaping prisons it's likely guzman will not be sent to america most high security facility christensen in the reports from new york. where to jail the world's biggest drug trafficker who already escaped from high security prisons not once but twice in his native mexico the answer is a prison simply known as 80 x. the most secure and secretive detention center in america this is where joaquin el chapo guzman will spend the rest of his life and this is as close as outsiders can get to 80 x. located in a rural part of colorado at the base of the rocky mountains built in 1904 the prison can hold up to 500 inmates guzman will have no interaction with other detainees everyone here is kept in individual cells for 23 hours
9:13 am
a day not much else is known about 80 acts because only a few visitors are ever allowed inside journalists don't get in guzman will probably never get out and no one's ever xscape from that facility. it's pretty much underground it's been described to some people scrub as a black hole but there is a very i mean almost 99.999 chance he'll skate from a facility like that gerard bryant a criminal justice expert says while all inmates at 80 acts are kept in solitary confinement it's particularly important for guzman someone like el chapo high profile. you know there may be some other inmate who might you know think he can make a name for himself by doing some arm to him 80 x. houses the most infamous convicted criminals and terrorists in america like ted kaczynski known as the unabomber zacharias moussaoui

9:21 am
$12000000000.00 worth of illegal drugs well those are the headlines more news after inside story. racist that's how the u.s. house of representatives has described the president all times comments about for congress won but as he remains defiant what does that mean for race and ethnicity in the u.s. and for next year's presidential election this is inside story. hello
9:22 am
and welcome to the program i'm mr. president donald trump's comments about for congress women are racist and strongly condemned that's the conclusion of the u.s. house of representatives which pasta resolution to rebuke the president it was backed by $240.00 votes to 100 $87.00 but with only 4 republicans giving their support trump has launched a series of attacks on the congress women of color known as the squad telling them to go back to the crime infested places from which they came the politicians alexandra cortez ayana president. born in the u.s. and it came as a refugee aged 12 the remarks have been widely denounced mainly by democrats who have renewed calls to norwich and pietschmann the proceedings against trump these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and the experiments are racist how shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words words
9:23 am
that we have all heard him repeat not only about our members but about countless others. while the vast majority of republicans have failed to condemn tom's comments i wonder if when we are tempted to accuse our sister or brother of fellow american political foe or even this madam speaker of racism by the way i do not believe the president is a racist i do not believe the speaker this house is right so i do not believe the majority leader's race is undeniably the minority leader's race that we can go down as one i do not believe that and while we insist on using this floor to litigate the propriety of statements made outside these walls we assign a lot of work into it to a lot of tweets and despite the widespread criticism of his comments trump has refused to back down and continues to tell the congress when they can leave america they should love our country they shouldn't hate our country you look at what they've said i i have clips raised here the most vile horrible statements about our
9:24 am
country about israel about others. it's up to them to do what they want they can believe they can stay but they should love our country and they should work for the good of our country. well let's bring in our guests now in washington d.c. we have rina shah she is a republican strategist and consultant in fort lauderdale florida we have christopher metzler he's a conservative commentator and author of the book divided we stand the search for america's soul and in san francisco we have christine pelosi she's a democratic strategist and the daughter of the house speaker nancy pelosi welcome to you all right to start with i do want to read you all a subsequent treat from donald trump after the initial tweets that we had he says those tweets were not racist i don't have a racist bone in my body christopher you're a staunch supporter of the president where the president's initial comments racist
9:25 am
. there in my view the president's comments were not roses at all here and fox was expressing an opinion that is held by many people the difference is he says what he has to say it is not politically incorrect about it i don't see the racial angle here on this tweet i'm christopher i do want to ask you about that because you're saying that he's saying that other people and said same the similar views and therefore it's not racist but surely other people could also have racist fears or just saying that he's speaking on behalf of lots of people doesn't make his tweets not racist. well in fact the president look in my experience i have no reason to believe that the president of the united states is a racist in fact even as soon as he came down the escalator and before people of all ways hammered this notion that oh he's a racist he's
9:26 am
a racist ok so if america were to label him a racist clearly as the house just did in its resolution then one you know what we should be talking about is we should be talking about the lives of all americans the president is a patriot he continues to be a patriot and this notion that his tweets were racist just simply don't make any sense and the notion of you know people saying well go back he said go back or you came from i don't believe he said that at all and in fact i am an immigrant to limber legal immigrant to this country and this notion of go back to where you came from didn't come across to me at all in this message ok as i want to that tweet verbatim christopher he said it's so interesting to see a progressive democrat congresswoman who originally came from countries she's governments are
9:27 am
a complete and total catastrophe of the west my scripts and i'll stop there but he did say that they originally came from other countries but 3 of them were born in the united states and at this point i want to be done in a shop because i believe raina you're no stranger to these sentiments yourself not at all and i've been a lifelong republican long before this president was and i'll tell you in 2016 when i was one of the 1st public republicans to speak out against him i was an elected delegate to the republican national convention and i was on fox news and i said that i had trouble supporting this candidate and was not sure if i would vote for him in the general election afterwards i received all kinds of vitriol from a seemingly across the country. in the form of voice mails text messages e-mails telling me to go back to my country verbatim mistakenly calling me a muslim going for me and saying that i was not a real republican a lot of these people identified themselves as some trump supporters and it's been documented this wasn't black and white given to me i was basically attacked for
9:28 am
just speaking my mind exercising my 1st amendment right and i understand the president of the united states has that right as well but what he said in those tweets on sunday and subsequently has proven exactly who he is he's told us who he is now we've already know that he peddles in hate and rhetoric that is divisive however after this if you flip the script it's very easy to see this was textbook racism his supporters say that this was not his intense intent sorry to be racist however it's hard to see anything different because when you question how american someone is to tell them to go back to their place of origin simply based on the color of their skin that is the definition the appear to me of racism and of this one i want to bring in christine because we had your mother denounce those tweets as racist on on the house floor i'm guessing you agree with her. absolutely and let's be clear about 2 things 1st of all when donald trump 1st appeared on the scene he and his father were being sued by the government for refusing to rent to
9:29 am
black people when he came down into the public domain he was he was making a judgment about the central fark 5 the exonerated 55 black teenagers who is it turns out did not rape and be a jogger in new york city calling for the death penalty he never apologized to that when he ran for president coming down that escalator he talked about. all sorts of ethnic groups and attacked them one by one so the tweet was donnelly textbook racism but literally textbook if you look at the e.e.o.c. definition the equal employment opportunity commission definition of what is workplace racism one of the lines and examples they use is when people say go back to your own country so as rena points out people have been bullied by that not just people speaking out on television not just these 4 congress women but every day people my stepson's latino in in our world are trying to raise an equality
9:30 am
generation with my stepson and my daughter you know their friends their communities their public school classmates see this happen to them and see these conversations happen so when you're the president of the united states your words carry the most weight of anyone on the entire planet that is why yesterday when the house of representatives voted to condemn the racist comments they were invoking the words of republican icon ronald reagan who in his farewell speech to the nation talked about the fact that we have to continue to keep america open to immigrants and also that anyone from all over the world when they come to america can become. as american as people who were born here and just on a final note we have to really move past the racist comments and. and into the racist policies the house tomorrow is going to vote to raise the minimum wage a federal minimum wage for the 1st time in over 10 years closing the racial wealth
9:31 am
gap by doing that and pushing that example out to big companies like mcdonald's to say give your workers a wage so it's not just about the comments and the hate crimes that they inspire it's also about the racist policies that we need to dismantle and on that i would hope we could have some common ground christopher i say vigorously shaking your head that so let me ask you about one of the things that christine just said which was that it wasn't about necessarily what was said not just about what was said but who was saying it and that it was coming from the highest office in the land and what would you say to that ok. you know again we're going in circles here in my for my standpoint from my experience i don't see the race issue number one number 2 if we're going to talk about what's going on and who said what it was a couple of days ago that a oversees said that in fact speaker pelosi is racists.
9:32 am
so we've got that going on and let me go to the minimum wage question raising the minimum wage yes she did she said they were targeting and to go back to your textbook definition. she said that in fact the speaker was targeting women of color if that is not racist then i don't know what is. and as it relates to the minimum wage issue or you're going to raise the federal minimum wage ok if that's what you want to do look at the amount of people that's going to put out of jobs and so if democrats are happy with doing audio enters out how a phony a girly study said absolutely none. and i want to tell you i'm sorry i don't think. that you'll let me get emotional then i was going out of guys i'm going to
9:33 am
come enhanced are and i'm watching you get quite emotional rain and i'm going to ask you what the source of that yes i'm really sorry you know i just didn't think i would get this passionate about it i've been talking about this for 3 days and i'm a young woman of color somebody who was born in southern west virginia i was born to immigrants from uganda and india and my parents were incredibly successful productive members of society american society they gave job they've created hundreds of jobs they have never taught me to look at the color of someone's skin and judge their american is based off of that the fact that mr metzler does not see the president's words to be a problem since when did we start to disagree about a president united states using proper words i have a child in preschool i do teach my child to not name call to not judge people based on the color of their skin i am thankful i am not a white house adviser i would not want to work in this white house i was never offered a job there nor would i ever seek one out but let me tell you this if i was advising this president i would have said stay out of this between d.n.c.
9:34 am
pelosi and these 4 2 young black and brown women what was between them is between them he does need to speak up but why he spoke up is because it's in his heart of hearts that he doesn't like these little brown and black girls who are dead democratically elected congress women who have the ability given to them by the constitution and check his power he has such a problem with women ok but let me tell you this it took this weekend to really tell me to show me that he has a problem with black and brown women he can't stand that we are powerful and that we are equal to him in this just society so you know what i don't like when new immigrants like mr meltzer come here and say that this is all ok it's not ok this presents not a republican because he has no respect or love for liberty or the constitution or freedom ok right at this point i'm going to i want to play some of what we heard from the congresswoman in question here and their reaction to what donald trump said in his initial tweets as have a listen. he does not know how to defend his policies so what he does is attack
9:35 am
us personally and that is what this is all about i encourage the american people and all of us in this room and beyond to not take the bait this is a disruptive distraction from the issues ok here concern and consequence to the american people right so christopher i'm going to ask you that is this a strategy then on the part of president trump we've been hearing broad condemnation of people being held in these awful conditions and border detention centers and now we see him potentially change the subject and make it about the race of members of congress i mean it's a pretty effective strategy if that's what it is. well is there a strategy behind that i don't know i haven't spoken to the president so i don't know that and let me say it's not the president that changes the message it is the media who simply follows each and every tweets that tweet now those are his words
9:36 am
out so as to. ok well i understand that they are his words but question was is that a change of strategy and so the media simply is changing the subject over and over again look if you don't like the president's tweets if you don't like any of that don't report on him don't look at them and go about the business of running the country if that is what congress wants to do then that is in fact what congress should be doing rather than obsessing over the president's tweets christof the media. is the president of united states and on that note i'm going to be interesting. because i want to ask you about the votes that we saw in congress when this was undoubtedly news so let's talk about the voters we in that vote we saw only 4 republicans vote. in favor
9:37 am
of that resolution and since since the initial tweets out of $251.00 republicans in congress very few i believe less than 20 have even criticized his words so going back to the voters it did force the each member to have to choose to go on record one way or the other so this was smart politics on the part of the democrats christine was that the path. the plan is to protect people from what donald trump is doing with his words with his twitter feed and with the power of the executive branch there are inhumane conditions at the border that's what was being discussed last week and that was the context in which people were having a fight over the best way to get the kids out of those camps and to have humane immigration policy last week his labor secretary in charge of fighting human trafficking mr costin had to step down because of
9:38 am
a sweetheart deal that he gave to pedophile jeffrey steen and that case is still reverberating as brave women are coming forward and talking about how they were raped as girls by this terrible person including some of them allegedly after this deal was cut so let's be clear it is much easier. to for the media and here i would agree with christopher the media on the one hand can can choose to multitask and should in fact multitask members of congress absolutely had to condemn those tweets because 1st of all there were attack on 4 members of congress which led to increased death threats against them put their safety in jeopardy and and 2nd as i mentioned and as reno mentioned with with her child you're talking about children who are listening and once the president says it. if the president can say it then anyone can say it you know in a schoolyard in
9:39 am
a store on an airplane you know everywhere anywhere and that's the danger is that our society. should be one in which we respect each other and we're trying to work through our differences not one in which we insult and harm each other you know the rate of of hate crimes is going up and unfortunately for the most marginalized people in america the trauma of this president is going to cost us for years to come and that's why we have to fix it and that's why as congresswoman presley said we can't take the bait we have to keep talking about about health care about wages about respect about dignity because that's the work of the congress that's being done and and those are bills frankly the president should support and sign really your republican strategist and i want to get your take on the news and reaction we've been hearing from republicans on this is this about trying to walk that tightrope between especially for those in divest states between their constituents
9:40 am
and not raising the republican base and supporting president trump. look there are marette of issues here layered one on top of the other and i tell you as somebody who's kind of grown up in the party and has seen some really great republicans across the country always give me opportunities and allow me to share my origin story one in which i talk about my father's side being from uganda being thrown out by a dictator being told we had to go back to india when 3 generations of my family was currently living in uganda so i love the fact that every american i've met through my 30 some years i has always embraced me as a fully american but somebody is having a rich ancestry and heritage that i'm proud of and speak to but but understand that i'm committed to the ideas of creating a freer and more just society and creating opportunity for people despite whatever zip code they were born in we can all agree on some basic principles and the republicans i continue to speechwriter for and advice today i still believe that they are good people and that just because the occupant of the oval office acts the
9:41 am
way in which he does this party is not yet dead yes there are so many people that lack the moral courage to speak out against trump's abysmal actions and words however we have a greater task on our hands and that's to keep our republic to fix it to continually fix it our founders said they gave us a republic if we can keep it right so for my my duty for my daughters my my duty is to really talk about the american way and how we create opportunity for everyone but when we're stuck in the muck when we see situations like this where look i have never been a fan of speaker pelosi until more recently i remember being a young hill staffer and remembering the day she got this speaker's gavel smiling and feeling happy i was working in a republican member of congress' office at that time i was happy that a woman had the gavel however i have serious differences with her policy wise but in this moment i think what we can acknowledge is that she has been
9:42 am
a leader and there there is something that's very true here that we must acknowledge to the despite being. leader had she been a black speaker and these 4 women were white skinned trump would not have tweeted this stuff he could because he can't tell white skinned women to go back to where they came from and on that note i'm going to bring in christopher he's shaking his head again christopher i do also want to throw this forward looking at the election next year i'm going to ask you to react to that but i also want your take on whether this is going to change the playing field going into the 2020 president selection. well i you know at this point and i fully believe that in fact the president is going to be easily reelected here's why the president has made some significant strides relative to the economy as a relates to block unemployment the president has done a phenomenal phenomenal job relative to that as it relates to businesses as a relates to opportunity zones are all of these things it is the actions that have
9:43 am
been taken by the president that is going to make a difference as he returns to the white house in 2020 and let me just say part of the far story and here is that if we look at and there's all this conversation about what the president tweeted and what the president said here's the thing there is a significant concern about how left the democratic party is going and in fact if you look out some of the members of the squad did not one of them say say that she is there to impeach that m.f. really referring to the president of the united states do we not have anti-semitic comments coming from some members of the squad so let's be clear if you're going to criticize the president on what he does what he says the language he uses as it
9:44 am
relates to impeach that m.f. so that's ok because it was it then line of print can i ask you to but it was said by amber of the squad i do want to bring in kristan on that exact issue the issue of impeachment because democrats have been. very split over the session here and now articles of impeachment have been filed in congress and that could potentially help unite the right and christine we don't have much time left i'm going to ask you to respond very quickly how split on the democrats on this idea than teaching the president. democrats 1st reena thank you for your comments earlier i do i do think it is true that while donald trump insults everybody he takes particular glee and malice in attacking women of color powerful women of color it's something that he whether it's you know maxine waters or the squad more recently a federico wilson who still owed an apology because she was right about what had happened in there to her constituent and so who is who is killed in the military
9:45 am
serving over there so the fact of the matter is the economy the obama economy is cooking along it's not doing enough we need to do more the president can't count on racial animus and voter suppression the way he could and russian assistance the way he could in 2016 on the issue of investigating the president we are pursuing rick vigorous investigation we will see what happens as we follow the facts and robert mueller comes in as one who is a hamilton elector a member of the electoral college who pushed for a briefing to the electors before we voted on the trump russia connection we didn't get that but we got an independent investigation. conducted by mr moller so i think all eyes and all ears are going to be on mr moller on july 24th so ask me again after that testimony where democrats are where americans are but i think we're getting closer to moments of accountability while i think we're 70 getting closer
9:46 am

arms sales to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates effectively blocking some $8000000000.00 worth of arms sales the bulls approved by the senate earlier will now go to the president for his signature but instead it's likely to get a veto the president vetoed a measure introduced by congress back in april expressing concern about the u.s. involvement in the war in yemen and he's likely to veto these bills the problem is is that congress both house and senate does not have the necessary 2 thirds majority to override the presidential veto yet this vote passed in the house reflects the anger in congress bipartisan anger largely at the president's insistence on maintaining a relationship with saudi arabia this following the murder of journalist. as well as saudis involvement in the war in yemen certainly congress has made its
