tv   Andrea Mitchell Reports  MSNBC  September 11, 2014 9:02am-10:01am PDT

9:02 am
>> you have been watching 911 as it happened. while you are watching special coverage, this country has been marking the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks and remembering the 2983 innocent men, women, and children who were killed. at the world trade center site in manhattan, a bell rang at 8:46, the exact time the first hijacked plane struck the north tower. that was followed by six moments of silence to mark the times each of the planes crashed and the twin towers fell. the victim family members gave a solemn reading of names of all of those killed. >> my husband michael, we love you, we miss you and not a day goes by that we don't think of you. >> my husband, police officer wal win wellington stewart.
9:03 am
>> my father, thomas j. fisher, i love you and you will forever be in our hearts. >> this is the first commemoration in new york since the opening of the museum at the national september 11th memorial. in the nation's capital, president obama presided over two ceremonies. the president and the first lady and vice president all led a moment of silence on the white house south lawn marking the time of the first plane striking the north tower. the president and first lady then traveled to the pentagon memorial where they laid a wreath in remembrance of the 184 lives lost there. >> 13 years after a small and hateful mind conspired to break us, america stands tall and america stands proud. and guided by the values that sustain us, we will only grow stronger.
9:04 am
generations from now, no matter the trial, no matter the challenge, america will always be america. >> and bells rang at the 9/11 memorial outside shanksville, pennsylvania as the names of the 40 passengers and crew member who is died on flight 93 when it crashed there were remembered. flight 93 crashed in a field as passengers fought with the hijackers for control over that plane. now to other stories making news. in a prime time address to the nation, president obama authorized a major expansion of the battle against isis. that includes authorizing air strikes in syria for the 50 time and deployment of 475 more military advisers to iraq. >> i will not hesitate to take action in syria as well as iraq. this is a core principal of my presidency. if you threaten america, you
9:05 am
will find no safe haven. >> meanwhile, secretary of state john kerry is in saudi arabia for talks as he is seeking arab support for the u.s.-led coalition against isis and includes officials from ten other arab nations. >> a judge cleared oscar pistorius of premeditated murder of his girlfriend and said there was no doubt he was negligent. pistorius wept as the judge read part of her verdict before a packed courtroom. the judge said based on the evidence, pistorius could not be found guilty of a lesser charge of murder. the star still faces the possibility of culpable homicide or manslaughter conviction. court resumed tomorrow. he maintains he accident shot and killed her mistaking her for a burglar. >> the nfl is bringing on former director robert muller to
9:06 am
conduct an independent investigation. ray rice and his then fiance. after a bombshell report from the press that a law enforcement official said he sent an nfl executive a copy of the elevator video in april. earlier this week, roger goodell denied anyone in his office had seen the tape. appearing on "morning joe," they talked about hearing a voice mail from an nfl official confirming they received it. >> we would not report the story unless we were certain this occurred that a law enforcement official did indeed send that tape to an nfl executive at the league office. he got confirmation from an unidentified woman on april 9th that it was received. i heard the voice mail and the woman's voice and i saw the number that the call came from. >> a statement late yesterday, they had no knowledge of that video being sent to their office. that's it for me.
9:07 am
"andrea mitchell reports" starts now. >> good day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. on a solemn day, we commemorate the terror attacks in new york and the pentagon in shanksville, pennsylvania that forever changed our nation. 13 years later, are we safer? a growing number of americans don't think so. 47% of americans think we are
9:08 am
less safe than before 9/11. a jump from 28% only a year ago. over the last few weeks, a huge change willing to take the fight to isis. the difference is the horrific isis video of two americans being besided. no other terror threat has h that effect in the last 13 years. elected with a pledge to withdraw, they set a difference source announcing expansion of a military mission. >> i made it clear we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. that means i will not hesitate to take action in syria as well as iraq. this is a core principle of my presidency. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. >> does the president have the authority to act without congress's approval? i am joined by the chair of the senate intelligence committee, senator dianne feinstein.
9:09 am
thank you very much. >> you're welcome, andrea. >> does the president need authority from congress to do the expanded military mission he seemed to be laying out last night? >> i think the mission he laid out last night as i understand it, i believe he has the authority to move on it. what he does need is an authorization under a specific title that essentially would allow him to put military to train in saudi arabia. the saudis are prepared to provide a base and an area where this training can take place, but as i understand it, he needs the authorization, not the money, but the authorization to provide military training there. >> the president only a few weeks ago referred to isis as the jv team and also suggesting a couple of months back that it was a fantasy to think that the
9:10 am
free syrian army can step up to the task. it's changed pretty dramatically. what do you think made the difference. >> i think the intelligence that has been coming in is quite stark in what's happened. the number of foreign fighters, the number of tribal fighters that have joined the forces and the numbers in the forces, the numbers alone are a very captivating case. they are huge. i think the land that they occupy when you look at it on a map is much more than people see in the little cities on a map that they occupy. i think it is now believable and they are headed to baghdad. the atrocities they have committed in the process are now so starkly known and continuing
9:11 am
that this says we have got to act now. i commend the president. it's not easy when you take one position and then you look at new facts and you say my goodness, i have to change my mind. i think he has done that in a very authoritative and comprehensive way. i think the plan he put together with ten arab countries is -- gives us a good chance of success. certainly participation. i thought the speech last night was strong, was positive, and i only hope that both sides of this place they call the congress will come together and do what's right. >> the president seemed to suggest or did suggest this would be similar to things we have done successfully in yemen with a partner in the government which we don't have in syria. it's similar to yemen and pakistan and it's a counter
9:12 am
terrorism operation. booeds on the ground. there will be special forces. there will be boots on the ground and combat brigades going this to help as advisers in iraq. we know there will be people on the ground in syria to help with air strikes potentially. is the president being straight with the american people about what this entails? >> i think he is being straight. maybe you know what i don't know. i don't agree with everything you have just said, but thab as it may, the president has taken time to put things in motion and there have been members of his staff, the secretary of state on down, going all over the world securing commitments. at the united nations, in the arab league and other places. i personally happen to just meet with the ambassador of qatar the day before yesterday.
9:13 am
he was very clear that they are willing to help. that's significant because that represents a change. this was a country that reportedly did provide money to attackers that now no longer is. these are good things that are happening. now, is this going to be overnight? no. i think the president is right to caution. now, different presidents might do it differently, but look. this is the commander in chief. we have a problem. it is a big problem and it could come to our shores at any time. it is critical at this time that both parties come together and say we support you, mr. president. we are going to be helpful instead of trying to be a problem. >> dianne feinstein, it's a pleasure. >> thank you. >> live pictures of lower
9:14 am
manhattan. for the first time the national september 11th museum is open on this anniversary. coming up next, i will talk to commissioner bill brat on on how to keep new yorkers safe then and now. are we still on for tomorrow? tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. csx. how tomorrow moves. what a day. can't wait til tomorrow.
9:15 am
[guyi know what you're excited. you're thinking beneful. [announcer]and why wouldn't he be? beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas. it has carbohydrates for energy and protein for those serious muscles. [guy] aarrrrr! [announcer]even accents of vitamin-rich veggies. [guy] so happy! you love it so much. yes you do! but it's good for you,too. [announcer] healthful. flavorful. beneful. from purina. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn?

try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.
9:17 am
>> we have breaking news where john kerry met with the saudi leaders and king abdullah and the leaders of all the gulf states. they along with egypt, iraq and lebanon agreed to stop the financing to isis and other extremists. to stop the propaganda efforts and counteract the propaganda efforts and aid and relief
9:18 am
continues to aid with the communities brutalized by isis and it's appropriate to join in military efforts as well. all this announced as a summit there today. 9/11 enforced policing. >> commissioner brat on, thank you very much for staying with us on this most difficult day for new yorkers. is new york city, is america safer? >> new york city and america are safer. our counter terrorism capabilities have grown more
9:19 am
sophisticated, focused on preventing and improving our capabilities to respond to ones that might occur. the threat is expanding. the new emerging threat of isis and the capability is significant to the threats we are facing. >> in the latest nbc news poll, 47% of americans don't feel that they are safer than they were before 9-11 despite all of the build up and the extra police of. to what do you attribute that? >> that's understandable, particularly those that live in the city that we are constantly reminded of the events of 13 years ago and the events in the world of the last several weeks and months and the beheadings of the reporters. it is a reminder of two americans and particularly those living here in new york that this threat is not going away. it is real.
9:20 am
it is going to be with us for the rest of our lives and our children's lives. there should not be an everyday fear. we are working very, very hard to ensure that that event does not occur here. >> they are saying there is no specific threat to the homeland and the president emphasized that in his speech, is there an additional threat to prominent targets, the most prominent being new york city because so many americans and europeans with passports that could help them get to the united states are participating in isis? >> they hundreds if not thousands who have the ability to get back and get back into
9:21 am
the united states. in britain, they are already back. we anticipate that there is over 100 americans over there. it is the new e merginging threat. al qaeda was looking to do the big event, isis is a debt with the new sophisticated media skills. aspiring the lone wolf. the lone wolf has access to a firearm who was inspired by the sophistication of isis and achieved outreach. that is the immediate concern. >> you reflected 1,000 new police officers. is counter terrorism part of that or are there other issues
9:22 am
and needs? >> some of those would go to increasing counter terrorism capabilities here in the city. we have over 100 officers full time on the counter terrorism assignment and many hundreds of others in addition to the larger police force of 35,000 who are trained to respond to an effect that might occur. radioactive chemical biological on the lone wolf shooters. >> one of the effects has been the militarization of police forces around the country. we most recently saw the downside of that in ferguson. is that a concern? the choke hold incident in new york and other incidents that have frayed the relationship between communities and their police protectors.
9:23 am
we tried to involve the various communities and we're the most diverse city in america. the multiethnic make up of the world. we tried to reach out to all the communities and tried to respond to all the fears. we are very successful at it. we are the future as the world becomes smaller rather than growing. >> thank you so much for joining us on this somber day and wishes for a safe 9/11 for you and all of your people.

9:28 am
we came together to honor the fallen heroes of 9/11. the highest honor we can bestow. >> one of the foreign policy expert who is had dinner with the president and fis president every night. former congressman served as vice president at indiana university. thank you soeth so much for being with us. ient think of two better experts and you heard the president and all of his advisers who were saying slow down. the president was saying we don't have a strategy saying to john kerry and to chuck hagel. we are not there and we are not going to go to syria. you talked to him at the dinner. he comes out with a very strong statement that we will weed out
9:29 am
isis in syria. what changed? >> i'm delighted to be on the show with my mentor and friend. it means a lot to me that i succeeded him at the wilson center and many of the things he taught me helped me welcome whatever it is i am today. the president has been working at this for a while. that's the impression i got with him on monday. there were visits and mounting intelligence as dianne feinstein said on the show. the decision to go against isis in iraq logically leads to going against isis in syria. let's remember this goes beyond iraq and syria. that's why i was pleased to see the president say we will go after them wherever they are. this is a long-term strategy.
9:30 am
there has been a lot of argument back and forth. he has the authority to act even without congress. should he get the authority from congress and why won't congress take up a vote? i feel more comfortable if a president gets permission so you have a shared permission on the most important decision a government makes, whether or not to go to war or intervene. congress has been timid. it doesn't like to assert the responsibilities and i would like to see it step up to the plate. i suspect it's true that the president has authority to act on his own. the presidents always say that. i get amused about whether or not they have this power. the president is going to take whatever steps he think is necessary to protect the united states. the lawyers will argue it around
9:31 am
and flat and come up with whatever the president wants. the country is going to be stronger if the congress and the president come together and make a decision with a unified foreign policy to develop a strategy to go after isis or whatever. may i also say what a pleasure it is to be with jane. she is a terrific leader in this country. >> for makes it good for my heart. they have a new video today that is disturbing. we will only show a little bit of it, but this is a different kind of threat and the analyst intelligence, they are trying to scare us. what's interesting is that the public polling on whether we should go and take a military response changed dramatically
9:32 am
after the horrific beheading videos. they made a mistake. >> i think they are overreaching. i think they are overreaching and think they didn't just horrify people in america. president obama said it last night. this is an anti-muslim group. they killed many more than westerners. if you don't buy their faux caliphate, you die. that will lead to the arabs against them. congress ought to be stepping up on their own. it's good that john boehner said there may be authorization for this training mission in syria. there should be force in
9:33 am
afghanistan that could be stretched and pulled and torn under the act too, but as a lawyer, i think this is a little too cute and congress which has the constitutional authority to declare war ought to decide whether to declare it or not. we safer now than we were before 9/11? many americans don't think so. >> we have done a lot and we are safer. no doubt about it. we spent hundreds of billions of dollars. organizational changes have been made throughout the dhs and the fbi and almost any agency you can think about. we have been successful. we have not had an attack like 9/11 in all of these years where you lot of thousands of lives in a few hours. that record has been good, but not perfect. we lot of people in the marathon and other places.
9:34 am
for all of our work and energy and money spent, we have none the less had a good record here. now, this threat keeps evolving. nobody knew the name of isis a few weeks ago. only a few days ago did we learn the name of the leader. it had dramatic success and horrific activity, but having said that, it's not invincible. it is a threat that we can deal with, but we do have to put together a very coordinated comprehensive strategy. the missing component of that strategy at least so far as i have been able to determine at this point relates to the war on ideas. isis is fundamentally an ideology. you have to meet an ideology with ideology. you can defeat. you can defeat an ideology. we did it with nazism and
9:35 am
fascism. but you have to have a counter message. we have to do it together with the islamic nations that are our friends as part of the component and the strategy to go after isis. >> thank you so much. lee hamilton, thank you for being with us today. as part of "the today show's" homecoming week, tom brocaw returns to his home away from home. 1976 and 1982 on 9/11. he shared his memories from that day 13 years ago. it's hours and hours without indication of what happened next. it was a complete surprise and a big storm coming and about to go to war. you have an idea of where it may go. that day we didn't. driver 1 you ready? yeah! go!

9:40 am
your dna as a new yorker as well. >> yes. >> me, are we safer now? 47% of americans don't think we are safer now than before 9/11. is this just a reaction, this shift in the public attitude, a reaction to the isis videos and the horrific murders of americans. >> yes, andrea. i have to say as a new yorker and somebody who was present here in manhattan on 9/11/2001. it's meaningful to be here for the name readings and i'm here making the rounds this morning at fire stations, police stations, with former mayor giuliani who hired me to be a federal prosecutor 26 years ago. this is a special day and a special time and it reminds us of the need to keep our guard up.
9:41 am
homeland security can be shattered if we let our guard down. we at homeland security and in national security general have got to keep our eye on a range of threats. americans asked are we safer those than 13 years ago, the way i answer that is to say that the thrift threat we faced in 2001 is different from the one we face today. the terrorist threat today is decentralized and more al qaeda affiliates and there groups being denounced by al qaeda, isis being the most prominent example. we have to keep our eye on the range of threats. this is the one everyone is focused on. they have shown they are willing to kill americans in a public and cruel way.
9:42 am
they said they are willing to keep their fight on this. we are in an environment where the groups are competing for tension and fund-raising. the so-called lone wolf like the boston marathon bombers last year. the good news is over the last 13 years, we have developed a capacity with the intelligence to the threats from overseas at the earliest stages. we have to keep our eye on the ball as well as the threat of terrorism. >> these are threats that could come to our shore at any time. are you tracking individuals and recruits and americans who might
9:43 am
want to go back and forth? we know the florida man who came back to the states and went back to syria and participated in a bombing. >> between director homey, myself and the fbi and intelligence community, we are making a concerted effort which we stepped up in the last few months to track foreign fighters as they go in and out of syria. there a lot of these people who come from countries overseas from countries in the visa waiver program. i asked for the review from what we see in the visa waiver program to ensure that we we know about people as they travel is adequate. people who engage in terrorist behavior and associate with groups engage in what we call broken travel. they will go to country a and go
9:44 am
off the radar to go to country b. come back to country a and hurricane home. combined with the allies and our foreign persons and a whole of approach, we are making converted efforts to track these people. there is that potential. an attack could come to our shores. they have come to our shore who has been radicalized by something they have seen or read here at home. it's time to step up and support the president on a challenge to the national and the homeland security represented by isis.

9:49 am
many of them cancer who is had to retire for health reasons. joining me now from ground is deputy chief and board watch member richard alize who responded 20 minutes after the second tower collapsed. thank you very much for being with us. >> you're welcome. >> your colleagues and the men and women and first responder who is suffered so much and had to fight tooth and nail with peter king and kirstin gillibrand to get that bill passed. >> you cover washington. i can't for the life of me understand what the resistance was. these men and women that were killed that day are domestic veterans. for the last 13 years we have been suffering horrendous illnesses. this is not a republican issue or democratic issue. you threw the number out of 30,000 responders that are ill.
9:50 am
2/3 have more than one illness and we deal in the fire department buried 80 members in the line of duty in the police department over 60 members post 9/11. it's a national health crisis. i will remind the nation that we had the president of the united states that stood on a pile of debris at ground with his arm wrapped around the shoulder of a new york city firefighter and promised us that the nation would be behind us. he promised us that the nation would protect us. it took over years to get congress to pass the legislation. greatfully president obama got to fulfill the vow. within two years we will be looking to extend the legislation. a problem for many of the workers, when they can't work they lose their health benefits. what happens in two year if this
9:51 am
legislation is not extended? where do they go for help? >> in fact these first responders, the men and women who stayed at ground zero for more than a year at least, correct? still working in that condition. the head of the epa at the time said there was no air problem in terms of quality. we see the diseases. it didn't take long for people to begin suffering. >> the experts it might take 10 to 20 years to see the after effects of that. as you stated, we almost immediately began seeing the results. the cancers which take many years to metastasize began to materialize within the first year. the documentation that we had when we got the legislation passed was compelling. since then it's overwhelming. i urge the nation right now when we are up to get that bill
9:52 am
passed if they could write their congressman and urge passage of the 9/11 compensation act. it's the nation's obligation to the veterans. >> absolutely. please come see us and we will continue this fight and not only on 9/11 commemorations. thank you so much. >> thank you very much, andrea for what you do. >> much more ahead on "andrea mitchell reports." when we come back. stay with us. guys! you're not gonna believe this! watch this. sam always gives you the good news in person, bad news in email. good news -- fedex has flat rate shipping. it's called fedex one rate. and it's affordable. sounds great.
