tv The Cycle MSNBC January 14, 2015 12:00pm-1:01pm PST
12:00 pm
copyies will be hot off the press. and that is 5 million copies and the massive spike of the usual run of 60,000 copies. station msnbc supports the right to publish but will not show the cover. and there is reaction online. and a muslim civil rights group is asking to protect free speech in this area. >> why do we defend the right for someone to speak their mind and draw whatever they want we are not willing to respect the feelings of almost 2 million people around the world. respect is a two-way street. >> and while that peaceful debate continues, in many parts of the world terrorists are seizing on the magazine attack for their own ends. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is claiming responsibility for the paris
12:01 pm
attack releasing an 11-minute video showing a top leader saying they picked the target and laid the plan and financed the "charlie hebdo" attack but not the kosher market siege. foreign politics doubt that aqap were involves it would be difficult for the militants in paris to communicate with the group's leadership without getting caught. any association could benefit al qaeda which has seen isis take the lead in terror and dominance among sunni efforts. the white house believes this video is authentic. we start with ron allen in paris where there are more recent arrests like defending terror over the past week. how are the french reacting to this wider counter-terror during a tense period? >> reporter: well it is somewhat ironic and somewhat paradoxical
12:02 pm
that there could be arrests of people for hate speech essentially at a time when there is such talk about free speech. but some of the things that were said apparently by the people arrested were very, veryver ill and they were a feeling of in citing more attacks. and things are getting more aggressive. and yesterday in parliament the prime minister called for more stringent laws regarding the internet surveillance a key means of recruitment and propaganda for terrorist groups around the world. so things are going to change here in france and in europe. there is a concern about the borders of europe being so pourous and when you travel from country to country, amongst most of the european union countries and some others you can pass through airports fairly freely without showing a passport and
12:03 pm
it has been that way for the past decade or so. some of that may change. there may be more surveillance of businesses, wire taps things like that the kind of things that happened in the united states after 9/11 with the patriot act and so forth. so the french are reacting to that as well. and there will be resistance to that just as there is a call for the aggressive demand for freedom of speech and freedom of expression there may be some hesitancy to accept some of the compromises that might have to be made in terms of surveillance and people will see as intrusion in their daily lives. so that will change. and today people are digesting this new magazine. they are looking at it and they are analyzing it. it is a very unusual publication, i have to say. i've looked through it a lot today myself. it is very high-brow, it is very -- it is hard to put it into words. it is a unique publication. it is satire and humor and certainly has a message about
12:04 pm
secularism and against religious extremism on all sides, left right and center and calls for a society where religion does not dominate and that is the message but it was lost in what is going on an the message was about sticking to the values as a publication going forward. they have been getting support from around the world, financial support. not just readers who want to see this thing, but donors who are supporting them family and that is important because before all of this "charlie hebdo" was a magazine on the brink of bankruptcy with only 30,000 readers and now they have 5 million. and more people will snap it up because the editions that were published went in literally minutes from the time they hit the newsstands. that is sort of what the mood is here today. going forward still concern about security very visible. the president of france today addressed the military in his annual briefing and his new year's statement to the military saying there will be 10,500
12:05 pm
troops on the street by tonight and the police and the military on the street side by side and there is no indication that will change. france will be on the highest state of alert for a long time to come. >> thank you. and we're going to bring in nbc terrorist evan coleman from flash point partners and elaine you have been writing about three types of attacks on the rise in france muslim extremist extremists attacking french civilians and attacking french jews and french hate groups attacking french muslims. how are the problems colliding during this period? >> colliding is a very good word. a lot of long-standing issues in france never resolved are coming together in this -- this spasm
12:06 pm
of terrorist. everything is joining and colliding. you have to separate them a bit, i guess. we have on the one hand the terror attacks. we have a country that is ramping up in a huge way on all levels. it is a counter-terrorism plan be it with 120,000 police and arms in the street added to 10,000 military. now the president francois hollande announced the charles degal aircraft carrier will help in the airstrikes that are already being carried out by france and iraq against the islamic state. we have on another level laws and urgent -- it is not yet a
12:07 pm
law, a circular which is a quick way to get something out and acted upon by the justice department to tamp out racism, abt anti-semitism and any kind of speech that justified terrorism among the population. at last count we had 54 people detained on that. some of them go immediately before the courts. so there is that going on. >> i want to jump in here. >> we also have a muslim community. >> go ahead. >> sure. just the third element here is the muslim population in france which -- which i would say not the entire population because there are 5 million muslims and they all have different circumstances, but a part of the muslim population definitely
12:08 pm
feels they are being stigmatized once again and there have been scores and scores of attacks on mosques, women who wear veils, et cetera. this is all being tracked too. so synagogues are definitely a potential target and getting special guards. mosques are a little harder to keep track of because they are spread over france and in very small towns. >> right. i want to bring evan into the conversation as well. >> so they have three population populations. >> and now evan, al qaeda claiming responsibility for the attack, is that something that you buy or is this them wanting to remain relevant given that isis is now a big player in this game? >> a.qap does have some element of credibility and based on the evident that we already know about, there is a lot of reason -- there is good reason to believe that these two vids the kouachi brothers pave traveled to yemen, one or both
12:09 pm
of them and they may have received training and money and one of them met with al-awlaki. that happened four years ago. why did it take four years for those tasked by al-awlaki to carry out an attack like this. something like 9/11 sure four years. but in a western country where the guys were already citizens of that country, doesn't make sense. and then of course you have the conflicting claim by dieudonne. and maybe they did play a role. it is likely they played some credit. they will claim credit, whether or not they did it because it
12:10 pm
promotes their agenda and their sense at being the head the pinnacle of violent jihadis because right now they are under pressure from isis. isis is calling them losers. they are saying you talk a good game but you don't do anything. >> right. >> so this may be an effort to counter that. >> big debate raging over whether or not news organization should publish the controversial cover of "charlie hebdo." nbc news making the decision not to publish that cover. and one of the considerations that news organizations are taking into account and making that decision is the safety of their journalists. have we seen any credible threats against journalists for deciding to publish this cover? >> it depends what you mean by credible. there have been in chat rooms, supports of al qaeda and isis. there are new calls for attacks against the journalists. look we have to be -- we have
12:11 pm
to balance this and understand there is a right to freedom of speech and a right to freedom of expression and we should respect that and there shouldn't be pressure on people to restrain what they are writing on the basis of whether or not there should be violence. on the other hand we do also have to recognize that if people in the muslim world started burning crosses and trampling across christian artifacts, they wouldn't be violent attacks but there would be uproar or anger. and we have to put ourselves in the eyes of our adversaries and understand that reacting violently, burning korans and getting worked up about this doesn't help our agenda f. our agenda is to promote peace and reconciliation and understanding, saying bad things about islam is not going to solve that problem. so once again, freedom of speech should be respected and there should not be prior restraint. but remember we have to respect people if we want that respect back. >> and evan you talk about
12:12 pm
burning korans and a big uproar offer there, and elaine, i want you to bring you back in because holland doesn't want to use the word islam being deceived. how is that being received? >> it hasn't totally sunk in because i think -- i've heard other government members using islamist. france does not refer to the islamic state. they call it desh which is the arab word for it. they refuse to admit it is a state. the minister is trying to set a tone and say let's not use islamist, they are terrorists let's call them terrorists. the national front, the far right party, which has been on
12:13 pm
the rise is very opposed to that. they want to call a spade a spade. they want to say this is a -- this is one aspect of islam that we want to get rid of. >> right. >> and we should call it that. we shouldn't hide that. >> egain beganly reporting from paris and evan kerlman here. and some praising the terrorist attack and calling for more. and the other major security threat finally getting a good luck cyber warfare. where is america most vulnerable. "the cycle" rolls on on january 14th.

12:17 pm
new isis propaganda is praising last week's attacks in paris. the video urges followers to carry out more attacks in europe and the u.s. the latest video follows a startleing one this week that shows a young child executing two men they claim are russian spies. it isn't the first time this little boy has been used in isis propaganda and in an earlier video the child explains why he wants to grow up to killin fidels, not ours. and it is a tactic used by a group just a year ago was unknown. jordan you willm stead is a researcher for the southwest initiative study for the middle eastern conflicts. his latest article, known by the enemy, looking inside of the group. thanks for being with us. talk about the new video, the young child that could not be older than ten. we've seen him before. what message is isis trying to
12:18 pm
send here and why this and why now? >> well first, thanks for having me. and i think the intention of this video is to show that their ideology is something that is so persuasive that a. you can get a 10-year-old child to believe in it to the point you can murder two people but the second intention is intimidation for isis enemy, because if you have an organization so brutal it is willing to put out material like that it will strike fear into your enemy and have them angrience. >> and we do see it is brutal. and your article discussed how that comes to be looking at the independent power base and independent source of revenue means they care less about what local populations or local norms might dictate. you point to oil there. the u.s. treasury is trying to
12:19 pm
crack down on isis's ability to make money off of oil, david cohen working on that and nbc news and others have pointed that the oil then is sold back to their enemies like the assaded regime in syria and the iraqi kurds which is highly concerning. what do you make of that the power base that helps them stay brutal is supported by the very enemies that want to defeat isis? >> well, i think that speaks a lot to governance problems in the regions. when you have corrupt businessmen and political officials that allow these transactions to happen and that is obviously very disconcerting because these are the very people who the iraqi government and the united states government, this entire coalition needs to cooperate to a., crack down on the funding, and b. contain and defeat isis. so that points to the fact that it is issues with corruption and
12:20 pm
poor quality of governance which are allowing isis to no longer flourish, but to exist in these areas. >> and yet, jordan you talk about corruption and brutality and you also argue in your piece that engaging in an intervention against isis could prolong and extend conflict in the region in syria and iraq. you said a study from 2002 that examined 150 conflicts between 1945 and 1999 found that third-party interventions, those that don't favor one opponent over the other, tend to prolong conflicts which could undermine both of the goals. why? >> when a third party intervened, they do it because they have a personal interest whether it is a national security or economic interest. and when the interests don't coalesce with the quick resolution of the conflict for instance if you look at syria,
12:21 pm
the conflict in syria would be -- there -- the assad reblgeem -- regime a victory if the united states didn't give support to the syrian rebels. because they couldn't crush the rebels. so when you give aid to rebel groups it gives them the resources and means to keep fighting against the regime they are fighting. >> and jordan not only do you argue that but you say intervenes does not promote stability in democracy and if that is what we are hoping to get, we are unlikely to see those things. so what should we do instead to try and promote that democracy and stability we'd like to see in the region? >> if you are trying to promote democracy and stability, you want to improve the institutions of that country and invading that country or bombing infrastructure in that country is not going to be conducive
12:22 pm
toward that end. so when you look at iraq in particular, the real problem in iraq is that sunnis felt marginalized by the maliki government and they felt they weren't being treated as equal citizens in iraq and they felt their identity and future in iraq was at risk and they were fed up with that. so when isis came, the sunnis were not necessarily amenable to isis, but they were more willing than they would have otherwise been to live under isis right? so what we need to do is a. continue the current efforts to make the iraqi government more inclusive and continue the current efforts to make the iraqi central government able to distribute goods equally and show people living in isis-controlled areas that if and when isis is defeated they can go to -- they can be part of
12:23 pm
a state where they are treated as equal citizens and treated with dignity. which is -- they're not being treated that way. >> those are great points. jordan olmsted, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. remember yesterday when there was a friendly powwow at the white house. that was then and this is now. things get real in the white house. luke russert is up next. the nissan rogue, with safety shield technologies. the only thing left to fear is your imagination. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms?

12:26 pm
12:27 pm
carrying out help for the children brought into the u.s. a lot of work to do no signs of compromise yet and for the latest on today's votes and the climate on the hill, we turn to our resident capitol hill meteorologist, nbc news luke russert. what can you tell us? >> well ari, i can tell you this. hey, gang. what we saw pass out from of the house of representatives moves the gop position on immigration and in the context of the homeland security funding bill very far to the right. why is that? well i want to point out the blackburn amendment. 26 republicans voted against that and they felt it went too conservative and it would hurt them within the latino community because they would be viewed as heartless. these are kids that are children of undocumented who came to the united states for no fault of their own and the president gave them that leniency in 2012. so 26 republicans said we don't
12:28 pm
want to go this far. that shows you where the appetite is in the house for the possibility of some type of reform further down the road if that happens. but the other reason why this was significant today is because john boehner allowed the conservative flank to move it to the right. and now it goes over to the senate and mitch mcconnell has a difficult decision. he has blue states pat toomey johnson of wisconsin, they are apprehensive about this going on the floor, it can anger latinos and conservatives if they vote against it. you throw in guys like cory gardner in colorado this is not a comfortable place for the gop to be and not to mention the presidential candidates. what does mitt romney and jeb bush say about the bill when they are trying to run a national race. it started out far to the right. we'll see at -- tomorrow at
12:29 pm
hershey in peninsula, the sweetest place, where they are meeting, and that is about mitch mcconnell and john boehner saying this is the art of the possible we could control two chambers and president obama, still a democrat is in office. >> luke russert, as always. >> take it easy my friend. and for how this fits into the gop agenda. we have brian boyler. how are you? >> well. how are you? >> good. and when you look at the pickle today and when you look at today and watering down wall street regulation, they campaigned on these issues and won on these issues so what do you say to the argument there is nothing wrong with this as their opening salvo? >> because i don't think it is an opening salvo. john boehner doesn't think this dhs bill will pass as is. the situation that the house is
12:30 pm
in emerged because hardliners in the house wanted him to pick another shutdown fight in december. and rather than have them revolt against him when the speaker election came up or actually shut the government down one more time he reaches around to find something to give them and it was this plan to make homeland security funding contingent upon defunding daka and deferred action and throwing out prosecutorial discretion and knowing it didn't pass in the senate and even if it did, obama would veto it. i think their opening salvo is only in that he is forced to issue them by an element in his conference that he wishes would just quiet down. >> brian, i'm confused because you talked about how the republicans campaigned on certain things. i thought what they campaigned on was the ability to get things done. if you gave them the house and the senate they could get things done and they would go to the president's desk. i'm totally confused.
12:31 pm
>> are you really? >> be still my heart. i don't get it. and brian, you wrote about the house and the senate are fighting. you just described it. we saw today that some members of the republican tea party wing are leaving to start their own cool new gang on the right. what is going on in the republican party? can they coalesce and get things done or is it more problems? >> that is a great headline by the way. >> thank you. >> it just depends on at what point boehner is willing to cut loose that element of his conference, if at all. i think that mitch mcconnell will have an easier time getting the kinds of bills passed that can garner majorities in both the house and the senate whether obama would be willing to sign them or not. and in some cases he can pass bills that obama won't sign even though democrats in the house and senate don't like them. the question is whether boehner feels at some point after having gone back and forth in negotiations with the senate, he
12:32 pm
can cut the right loose. if he is watching his back because he is looking at his speakership and that will fall apart because that has dominated house republican politics for so long. >> i'm surprised it took them so long to make their own little club. and let's talk about the presidential candidate field. the field is crowded. are you running too? >> i'm not old enough yet. >> well chris christie making news reports today he is prepping to set up a leadership pac and also being talked about, mitt romney telling donors i want to be president. but the narrative the past 48 hours has been quite brutal on mitt romney. there was a piece entitled why romney won't win again. and then the wall street journal has romney recycled.
12:33 pm
and jennifer ruben from the washington post, she was a huge booster for romney and she wrote a piece arguing that the romney reality has passed. do you think that is enough to make him rethink this or can he reintroduce himself to the country for a third time? >> i sort of wonder two things. if his announcement he is considering a run is decided as a trial bloom to see where the elite opinion is about him or designed to scare into the race somebody who romney himself approves of running, somebody to the right of jeb bush so he can step aside and say the position that i hope is represented in the primary is being represented by somebody else so i can step aside. because you are right, for two years there was this sense within the republican party, and both the actual party and the voters that the elections with sort of wrongly or badly decided. that romney was right about everything. don't blame me, i voted for the
12:34 pm
other guy. and because of that, he leads in a lot of primary polls and there is some superficial argument he should run again to make right what went wrong in 2012. but first of all, that is not a great argument for a candidate to begin with but when the economy turns around and the foreign policy positions that you had start to fall apart, then the argument doesn't make any sense at all and then you start losing your old supporters. i kind of wonder irrespective of romney whether this super crowded field of republicans fighting each other and dark horse candidates entering because they happen to raise opinion or have a billionaire in their back pocket will make republicans reconsider some version of campaign finance reform because it hurts to them more than it does democrats. >> that is an interesting point. i don't know how many times we have to be subjected to the idea if we only knew the real
12:35 pm
mitt romney we would clammer for his leadership. but i want to ask you about the democratic side of the aisle and we've sen a battle with the president and elizabeth warren one with the treasury nomination and then a battle shaping up between her and the president on free trade. this tpp, nafta on strar roids trade deal. he will most likely mention it in the state of the union. how are those battle lines shaping up? >> i think the warren fighting obama is a good story and it played out to warren's advantage in the fight over antonio weiss and the fight about a provision in the omnibus spending bill. and there are fault lines where warren will be on one side and obama will be on the other and one or the other will have to win. i'm not sure that is the case when it comes to trade.
12:36 pm
under clinton and george w. bush, trade bills passed on the strength of republican votes and the core democratic opposition was in the house. i don't think she'll have the leverage to beat obama on trade so i'm not sure the fight will reach the stage it did in the previous ones. >> it will be interesting to see because part of what the president wants is fast track authority, which means republicans giving him more power which is not something they are excited about. but it will be interesting to see, brian beuhler. thank you so much. and one more story this hour. a grand jury has indicted a plan threatening speaker john boehner's life. that man who is mentally hill is a bartender at the country club where boehner was a member. he talked about poisoning his wine or shooting him. he said boehner was mean to him and got him fired from his job

12:41 pm
on cyber attacks and when the command center's twitter and you tube accounts were compromise. patrick tucker welcome to the show. let's talk about the president's plan regarding cyber security. and he called on the government and private sector to engage in information sharing when it comes to cyber threats. we are in an area of declining privacy already and people are concerned about their privacy. how do you assess the president's plan and specifically when it comes to the notion of information sharing, is that really necessary at a time like now? >> well it is not so much a plan as yet, but a whole different ideas and some of them very good and some bad. some of the good ideas that the president talked about this week increasing criminal penalties for the sale of financial data that is stolen. mandating that companies tell people when they've suffered a
12:42 pm
data breach. but some of what you talk pd about, is -- talked about is controversial going forward and with lawmakers. what the president is proposing and the congress will hear about is allowing companies to share threat data with one another an with the department of homeland security that would then go on and share it with the nsa and the pentagon and other relevant agencies. what threat data is user behavior. so how different people are accessing or using different websites when they are logging on and what they are looking for on the websites. if they are demonstrating suspicious behavior or recognition activity or looking for hacks, just basically what they are doing if it falls in line with what technical experts at the white house might be suspicious or a predictor of a future attack. so that is something that businesses would share with each other and with the government and that might be a little bit controversial. >> patrick, you wrote a scary
12:43 pm
piece titled forget the sony attack this could be the bigger cyber attack of 2015 when he reveal dhs released some documents showing how easy it could be to hack into our power and water systems. is our infrastructure at risk this year? >> i think our infrastructure -- different components of it are at a certain level of risk. whether or not that justifies what the white house is proposing or whether that proposal is going to be useful in meeting that threat that is a different story. because after all, what we're talking about here with that article is vulnerability called the aurora vulnerability. it is not so much mal-ware it is an outside group can hack into a -- either a power plant, a water plant and take the moving machinery and turn it off and on so that the moving parts spin out of phase and it causes the machine to break, which can cause a really big problem.
12:44 pm
you are literally breaking equipment from a remote computer. what dhs is did release, in response to a foil request, 800 pages of what this vulnerability is. and they released it accidentally because they thought that the person issuing the request about the aurora project was talking about a different aurora virus, one affecting like google and mal-ware and not this particular threat. so it was a big boo-boo. dhs said it doesn't pose any threat to the american people but a lot of people disagree. >> still, a very frightening reality. patrick, is all of this enough for corporations and individuals to really rethink what they do online, what they write in their e-mails, social media account and should we all rethink it? >> i can't imagine that i have any more time to constantly rethink the stuff i'm doing. more of this has to be automatic. we really do need to shore up
12:45 pm
gaps in cyber defense and we do need mandates saying that companies have to tell everybody as soon as they receive a stata breach but we need accountable on the other end so we know why the government needs information about our online activities and when it needs them and how it is shared and some of that has to be flushed out. right now the language is vague about what constitutes a cyber threat and what happens when one is detected and how accountable the government agencies are and how they address those. so going forward we'll be talking about this a lot. and it is a real threat. and in addition to not being a real threat. the cyber attack on cent-com was smoke and mirrors. they did hijack the social media accounts and they turned out pictures that weren't classified or didn't put the united states or the army in particular risk and we've seen there are real vulnerabilities out there that need to be addressed. >> let's hope the smoke and
12:46 pm
