tv   Chris Jansing Reports  MSNBC  September 12, 2023 11:00am-12:01pm PDT

11:00 am
>> basically. everyone was frustrated in line. >> reporter: it's unclear what the latest cyber security issue is about, experts say mgm's response seems to indicate an attack, rather than a data breach. >> someone has taken our stuff and stolen it. that's different than someone coming in and disrupting our day-to-day operations with malwear or ransomwear or something. this is a disruption than a theft. we have a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports." let's get right to it. ♪♪ at the hour, the growing outrage, as rescuers struggle to reach villages wiped out in seconds by a powerful
11:01 am
earthquake. 2,900 killed as survivors are surrounded by death. helplessness on top of heartbreak. billions of dollars at stake as the u.s. pushes to bring five american prisoners home from iran. plus, the perfect storm on capitol hill, as the house speaker backs a biden impeachment inquiry in a move that looks like to save his own job. and the biggest antitrust trial is now under way. our news reporters are following the latest developments and we gin with the deal that may bring american prisoners home from iran. what's involved with this deal? what are we hearing from iran? >> it's been years of quiet negotiations. and the biden administration trying to bring these americans home. earlier this summer a deal was made that moved them to house
11:02 am
arrest, in exchange for $6 billion that would go to iran, to be used specifically for humanitarian aid. things like food, medicine, and that was the parameter that the white house was very clear on. now, we are hearing critically from the iranian president who sat down with our own lester holt about how this money might be used. and that is sparking a lot of information. here's a little bit of that exchange, which we'll talk about on the other side. we should note he was communicating through a translator. >> what is your expectation of its use? we're told it's for humanitarian purposes, food and medicine. do you have a right to use that money any way you see fit? >> translator: this money belongs to the republic of iran, and we will decide, republic of
11:03 am
iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it. how to spend our money, of course, it is under the authority of the islamic republic of iran. >> if i hear you clearly, it will be used for more than humanitarian purposes in your view? >> translator: humanitarian means what the iranian people need. so, this money will be budgeted for those needs. and the needs of the iranian people will be decided and determined by the iranian government. >> now, the white house in response to that exchange says let's not lose sight of what is really at the heart of this matter, which is getting these americans home. we understand there's an expectation they will be released this week. it could happen soon after. but the treasury department will be closely monitoring every
11:04 am
transaction here. and if these funds are somehow diverted and not used for humanitarian purposes, the u.s. says they will be sure to freeze them. sending that strong warning, we have asked for more information how that enforcement might take place. and critics of the president and the biden administration have said, this sets a dangerous precedent, chris, for future countries, who may take americans hostage. >> monta allbaugh, thank you for that. check out lester's full interview with iran's president. now, to capitol hill, where facing intense pressure from the right, kevin mccarthy endorsed an impeachment inquirery into president biden. what did we hear from the speaker and federal lawmakers? >> reporter: well, chris, nothing surprising from the speaker. we expected him this morning to
11:05 am
push forward endorsing an empeachment, to placate those on the right-most flank of the conference. it hasn't done that. we're waiting to see the speaker. he may be rounding the corner. i'm going to pick up the microphone and see if we can inch closer to him. the reason it's important is it's not just a question of the speaker pushing an impeachment inquiry, what it means for the governor shutdown. speaker mccarthy? will you stop? will you stop, speaker mccarthy? a horde of reporters around him. we tried, a valiant effort. as you know, we try to give you. the important thing here is, listening the way that mccarthy talks about it, he's opening an inquiry, but doing it without a vote. probably because he doesn't have the votes needed within his conference. i want to show for you how he talked about it and what democrats are saying. watch.
11:06 am
>> today, i am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry of president joe biden. these are allegations of abuse of power, and corruption. and they warrant further investigation by the house of representatives. >> you have a group of republicans, not all but many, off the deep end. we have a republican senator holding up military appointments. now, we have a group of republican that want to go through the absurdity of impeaching a president when we have so many other things we have to get done. >> reporter: majority leader chuck schumer venting a few frustrations with blockades, saying that tommy tubberville is blocking the military aid. and for all intents and purposes house republicans are barreling towards a government shutdown if
11:07 am
something is not done to avert the funding crisis. the fact all this is swirling in the same pot with impeachment and inquiries, it makes it that much more difficult. >> you rock, my friend. thank you. that was a valiant effort. let's look at the landmark case, putting the tech giant against google. i any you will be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't use google in some form through the day. what is this trial about? >> well, chris, what the trial is asking is whether what you are describing is a natural outgrowth of google's excellence of creating a search engine or if it strikes so many deals with browsermakers to be the default search engine when you first buy a phone or install a prowser
11:08 am
like mozilla. google arguing we're doing our best to get our product out there. and the government saying this is taking away choice from americans and as a result, violates the rules against monopolies. here's how the two sides have described their position. >> we think there's a lot of different ways that people are choosing to get information these days. whether that's on reddit or tiktok or amazon or expedia or yelp. >> every smartphone that people get, has google as the default search. and it's baked into everything. that means we don't have a competitive advertising market. >> google there arguing that
11:09 am
basically you choose your own search engine in this country. it's not mandatory that you use google. it's never been easier to choose other search engines. important to note here, as of last week, the european union has made it that it will no longer be the case that anything can be preinstalled in that way. you will be asked, which one would you like to use? so, in theory, it could be easier to make that choice. and that is certainly what the attorney general of colorado, 1 of 39 attorneys general who came together to pursue this suit against google, that's what he is arguing there. this is a baked-in thing, that the doj has described a flywheel over the last 12 years, sort of cue undercutting the competition that america is known for. over the next ten week, we'll see in that trial if the authorities can rein in big tech.
11:10 am
and here in silicon valley, all eyes on the outcome. >> jake ward, thank you for that. we have breaking news. five former memphis police officers have been indicted in the death of tyree nicoles. we'll have a report coming up. and the desperate search for an escaped killer. he eludes a massive manhunt for a 13th-straight day. the new warning from authorities in 60 seconds. >> he's killed two people previously p i would expect he is desperate enough to use that weapon.
11:11 am
now, to the breaking news, the justice department has indicted five former memphis police officers inof tyree nichols. we should remind people exactly the case. the young man that was in a police stop. he were pursued by police.
11:12 am
he was beaten ultimately. the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. what is more? the indictment? >> this is one of the most horrific police beatings that anyone has seen. a lot was released to the public. tyree nichols was a fedex driver. he fled on foot and was chased down and savagely beaten. and five officers have been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other charges. they are in custody and fired from the police force of tennessee. this is a federal indictment accuses them of civil rights charges, deprivation of rights and related charges by the federal government, in a symbolic message that the department of justice will take on these cases, even though it seems clear these guys are never going to get out of prison on
11:13 am
the state charges. the federal case important to show that the government will take action against police officers depriving citizens of their rights, in this case, taking a life. >> let me bring in our legal analyst. there seems to be two key parts of this. i read from count one. unlawfully, a assaulted nichols and willfully failed to intervene in the assault, the offense resulting in the bodily injury and death of tyree nichols. >> ordinary citizens are not under duty to render aid if somebody is assaulting a victim. because these were sworn officers. these were people with a legal duty. they had the obligation to intervene. not only is it criminal to assault someone under color of law, meaning under the -- wearing the uniform in the course of performing your duties
11:14 am
as a police officer. but not only is assaulting a crime. so, too, is failing to intervene, when your brother and sister officers may be committing that same assault. >> let me read from count two, the defendants willfully disregarded the medical need by failing to render medical aid and failing to advise the mpd dispatcher and medical personnel of the circumstances surrounding nichols' serious medical need. as you read into this indictment, there are several places where they are accused of giving false information. >> that's key, too. on the first part, going back to the duty, there's no obligations for police officers to guarantee that they will prevent crime. but where they create the risk, where they create the injury and fail to say call it in or additionally mislead their superior officers. when that happens, that, too, can be charged, as it has been here, as a conspiracy. a conspiracy to prevent the
11:15 am
proper information from coming out. we've seen this statute coming out during the trump years. a kind of obstruction of justice type statute. the civil rights really vindicate a federal interest that's separate from the state prosecution. civil rights under federal law. >> let me ask you about something specifically about overacts. and this is one of them. while msd emergency personnel were on the scene. so, once they did arrive, defendants haley and mills removed their body-worn cameras and set them aside before defendants gathered to discuss amongst themselves the force they had used on nichols. >> this is classic overt act evidence. in other words, the overt act for a conspiracy does not need to be an additional crime. look at rico statutes. it just needs to be an act in further rance of conspiracy.
11:16 am
allegedly turning off the body cam is a classic example, of a lawful act, it tends to show, the government will say, that, hey, we were trying to cover this up. and exhibit" a" is that i disabled my body-worn camera so there wouldn't be evidence of conspiracy. they don't need to be independent crimes but going to proving the underlying conspiracy. >> i want to bring in jim kavanaugh. he ran atv for years. he knows this department well. let me get your reaction to the indictments? >> i'm proud of the united states attorney and the doj civil rights division. these five memphis officers turned into a street gang. this is a horrific crime they did. they should be indicted. i'm glad they were indicted.
11:17 am
i did supervise memphis operations for 12 years. it's a tough town. people don't understand memphis. it's a port city. on the mississippi river. it's the cross roads of trucking and railroads. it's the home of federal express. it's a blue collar working town and blagplagued by lots of crim. it has a police force of 2,000 officers. people think of memphis has a little town. it's a big, vibrant city and has a lot of crime. it's tough being a cop in memphis. i had atf squads and worked every day with memphis p.d. and the attorneys trying to tamp down the gun violence. but these guys here, these five cops, this is the cream of the crud. they turned on a citizen and pete him to death. they need to be charged. i'm proud of the doj for taking this on. i salute them. i hope that the rest of the memphis -- excuse me, the
11:18 am
memphis police department feels the same way as i do. i'm sure they do. they have a lot of great cops there. all is in a difficult situation. >> i'm only five pages into this indictment. a couple of things stand out to me. one we already knew. there was a department review. it found no probable cause for the stop in the first place. this was supposed to have been, you know, a traffic stop. there was no probable cause. in the indictment, it goes on to say that the defendants falsely claim nichols began actively resisting by pulling gun belts and grabbing officer smith by his vest. and telling mpd detective one that nichols was so strong he lifted two officers into the air. there are cameras everywhere. we know anybody who lives in america knows that there's body-worn cameras.
11:19 am
did they think they would be able to just say that this had happened? and there wouldn't be any evidence of it? i'm trying to figure out what you think might have happened here on that night. >> you're exactly right. it's a failure of leadership. the first question i have is where is the sergeant. five guys of the street crime unit. and the man is reacting because he's being bullied around by the police. he doesn't expect this. this is not a gang, he's trying to cross a street and people try to rob him. this is the police. the uniformed police. they push him all around. i remember watching these videos. it was stupid policing that turned into a vulgar crime. the man didn't do anything wrong. he's reacting to them. so sad for his family and for him and for the city.
11:20 am
they thought they could get away with it. and the overt act, trying to remove the cameras. they engaged in conspiracy. they huddled up. what are we going to do? how are we going to lie? they knew they were wrong. it was a ufc beat the man to death street fight. it should make every american outrages. i am proud of the prosecutor for bringing the charge. that's the right thing to do. we can't bring the young man back but we can bring the charge. >> and memphis did fire the officers. state charges were brought. now, this federal indictment, what does that mean? >> the federal government, when they consider to bring charges like this, they have to ask themselves, and to their manual, is this separate of a state interest? or is this just federal piling
11:21 am
on? in this case, when it comes to federal right statutes, that's an interest. a state crime may be murder or assault, these are civil rights violations with a different purpose and different elements of assault and crimes. and going back to what we were talking about. when you think about the officers getting together and talking about what the story was going to be. in 1993, they could have done that. there were no body-worn cameras. unless you think i'm saying this is something that officers do, it's not. for the most part, body-worn cameras to the benefit of police. my clients, usually it's their story that gets altered once you see the body-worn cameras. most of the time they are the friend of the police. it keeps them honest. it appears that's what happened here. >> i learned we're expecting a press conference from doj at 4:00. you have followed so many of these. what do we expect to hear?
11:22 am
>> the assistant attorney general is going to explain this case in memphis. and danny just explained why the federal government's interest is vindicated. why bring the charges when the officers are in custody in the state case. one of the statutes carries ten years to life and the death penalty, in a case where the victim dies. the biden administration has put a moratorium on the federal death ban. >> thank you. you're going to stick with me. hundreds of police officers are searching for the escape killer in pennsylvania. what officials are doing to narrow that search. and a historic supreme court session gets under way. is israel inches towards a constitutional crisis? that's next. n. switch now and they'll give you nfl sunday ticket from youtubetv, on them.

11:27 am
it's now one man against more than 500 officers and the danger escalated significantly overnight in the search for escaped murderer danelo cavalcante. as residents are warned to stay indoors and locked inside, as the search intensities and remains elusive. last night, he was able to change shoes and clothes, break into a garage and steal a rifle while being chat at by the
11:28 am
homeowner. this is how the state police described the situation. >> cavalcante is considered armed and dangerous. he has a .22 caliber rifle with a scope and flashlight mounted on it. >> lindsey reiser is on the ground. and i want to bring back jim kavanaugh. what is the latest on the search? >> this is a new, alarming phase, chris, with people on-edge in this community. we're ten minutes away from this perimeter. police are searching this eight-square-mile area. we're 27 miles north of the prison and botanical garden area, where the initial perimeter was set up, where cavalcante was able to evade police. he stole a dairy van. drove it to this area. ditched it when he ran out of gas. he approached a couple of previous co-workers' homes. and new developments overnight you just told us about. it started with a sighting of a
11:29 am
man crouched in the wood line. and the report from a homeowner, that was a crime of an opportunity. he went into an open garage. instead, saw a .22 caliber rifle, and the homeowner shot after cavalcante with several rounds. authorities say they don't have any reason to believe he's injured at this point. we have an immense police presence trying to find him. we heard from the governor saying he has full confidence that state police will be able to finish this job. and he also says he understands that people are wary and anxious. this is what he said. >> i know this is a moment of worry in the community. we're doing everything we can. i have the upmost confidence that we'll apprehend this suspect and return to normalcy in the community. as for the suspect himself, this is a moment you realize the gig is almost up. and you'd be best to turn
11:30 am
yourself in. >> as for how he was able to evade police in the initial perimeter, police say no perimeter is 100% secure. but they feel fairly confident he is in this area. but they say he is desperate. he has killed before. and they say they believe he would do it again. >> thank you very much. jim, this is somebody who has outsmarted law enforcement, right? he's been on the run. he's desperate. he's evaded dozens of officers. how has he done it? and does it change now that investigators know he has a gun. >> this is the third time for being a fugitive, after the first murder in brazil, when he gunned a man down in the street. he fled the area he grew up, on a ranch. and he escaped authorities. he came to america illegally. his girlfriend told him i know
11:31 am
about the murder in brazil. he stabbed her multiple times. he fled to virginia, where he was captured and put in jail in pennsylvania. convicted. got life. and escaped again. this is his third time on the run in the woods and he grew up around ranches. that's why he's able to elude so far. he's cagey. he's like a cat. he knows how to move in the woods. he knows when the take an opportunity. now, he has a gun. so, the dynamics change for him and for the troopers and the agents looking for him. >> he was in the brazilian outback apparently for weeks. have you imagine that local authorities have spoken to brazilian authorities to get insights into him? >> they probably is. done some work to get family contacts. they are good at that.
11:32 am
you have to think what does he want to do? what he wants to do is lay low until darkness. slip the cordon on foot. on the road, he will getstopped by a roadblock. he can slip it on foot. then, he wants to get a vehicle. shoot somebody from the side of the house. get their keys, get their car. get three or four hours away before that crime is discovered. of course, he will have to commit crimes to get food, gasoline and vehicles because i would say he wants to get to the mexican border and further south. >> here's the problem, when officials say the first time he got outside the search area and was able to get that van and get further away. you cannot secure on area of that size, right? clearly, in one instance, shown
11:33 am
an ability to be alert enough and slick enough to get through it. >> you can. i've had the same situation with a cop killer. we had 400 troopers and federal agents around a mountainous area in the south. he slipped through our corder at night on foot. carjacked a family. that happens. it's difficult. this guy can get out of a prison. it has walls, razor wire and guard towers. how do you think he can't get out of a neighborhood that's ten miles in circumference. he can wait in the darkness. a trooper turns his back, and he runs across the street in five seconds. it's easy to do. he can't get out of that cordon in a vehicle. they are stopping the vehicles that are coming out. he's smart. i would say he wants to slip it with his gun. get away from the roadblocks. then, get a car.
11:34 am
carjack someone. and not let that be discovered for a few hours so he can get south a few states away. then, he has to get money and gas to get out of the u.s. he's dangerous. he showed us he is willing to lay low in the woods and not move. how do you catch him? he moves and a lot of room troopers get on him fast. that's the only break you get. >> jim kavanaugh, thank you. day 13, we'll see where this goes. let's go to israel. that's where one newspaper is describing the days of judgment as playing out right now. the security has been overhearing an overhaul to strengthen the netanyahu government. it puts the court to rule on the
11:35 am
extent of its own power. outside, the protesters hit the streets for a second-straight day, furious over what they see as an illegal power grab by the prime minister and his allies. >> it's good to have you back, amir. what's the latest from inside the court? >> right now, here in israel, it's after 9:30 p.m. the justices have been sitting in their chairs nine hours, listening for and against, for the law that limits their own power to conduct judicial review overing decisions. this is a delicate situation, where the court has to decide if a law that limits its own powers is perhaps unconstitutional. they are making the argument because the law removes a key check on the power of the government, the court needs to strike it down.
11:36 am
in an amazing moment we had, the lawyer representing the netanyahu government said the israeli decoration of independence, which is the foundation, if you will, of our constitutional order, is an outdated document that was written by a group of people without real authority and should not be guiding decisions today. this is like the representatives of the u.s. government saying there should be no consideration for the u.s. declaration of independence. it was quite a moment. you can guess by the questions that the justices are asking, which way they are leaning. and i would say they intervene and take action that would restrict this law. and the biggest question and the dangerous question for israel, are we heading towards a constitutional crisis in some members of the netanyahu government say they refuse to
11:37 am
accept this decision of the court. >> i think some israeli officials say it will not respect the ruling if it goes against them. then what? >> we've been hearing different voices from the netanyahu government on this question. some of the ministers are more responsible. we will respect any court decision. you can say the court is wrong. you can hope for a change in the future, when the competition may change. you have to respect the decision. other elements, in the netanyahu government have come up and said no. we will not respect such a decision, including the chairman of the israeli ke net knesset. he's refused to take a position on this. he refuses to talk to israeli media. but several times in interviews, he was asked, will you respect such a decision to strike down
11:38 am
the legislation that limits the court itself? and he did not give a straight yes or no answer, which puts us in, again, uncharted territory for israeli democracy. >> we have a minute left. this is as netanyahu is facing corruption charges. what are the stakes for him? >> personally for him, weakening the judicial system is of interest because he's a criminal. there's more to this. for his extremist coalition allies, the real goal here is to exchange the state of israel itself. less of a democracy and to turn it into much more religious and authoritarian country. ahead of his visit to the u.s., is trying to make noise and at the end of the day, the people calling the shots are his coalition partners. they want to go full steam ahead into the constitutional crisis with the security. >> amir, thank you for coming on

about an hour from now, the
11:44 am
cdc is expected to vote to approve brand-new covid boosters from pfizer and moderna. the fda signed off on the shots and said anyone age 5 and up can get one, regardless if they have been vaccinated or not before. this as cases of covid are on the rise from last week. covid deaths are up two, increasing 10.5% since last week. joining me now, dr. ben gupta. what do people need to know about the boosters? should we expect that they are like the flu shot and something we get every year? >> for the foreseeable future, we see these an annual shot for the foreseeable future. what do you need to snow? there's so much on the way of debate of who needs boosters. what do we know? this is not black and white.
11:45 am
you and i chatted about that. this impacts a wide demographic of americans, from 20 to 80, long covid is prevented, based on initial studies, through vaccination. we're seeing up to 35% or 40%, from developing long covid something. there's a lot of people out there, younger who have been vaccinated and exposed and are not feeling great. for those that want to question if they need the additional shot, come in the subsequent weeks, why get sick in the first place? especially as we look at the benefit that outweighs the risk. and you're not going to get that message listening to the masses. >> what would you say to folks? i gotten this argument. i don't need the shot because
11:46 am
i've gotten covid multiple times. i don't need it. >> natural immunity does protect you for a brief window. stay up to 12 weeks after you had the exposure, you recoveried. it is not as effective in long covid, as vaccination. that's just the reality of it. i'm a pupulmonologist. national immunity can be protective. but not over the fullness of time. >> how soon should you get the booster if you've been recently vaccinated? >> if you've been vaccinated, the old booster shot, i would wait at least 90 days. a common question i get, what if i just recovered from covid-19? my recommendation is to wait until you've fully recovered. and two weeks.
11:47 am
for everybody out there, say you've gotten infected. you haven't gotten your annual shot. should you get treatment? go to test to treat org. this is an nih sponsored program. test2treat.org. you can get two tests if you're symptomatic for free. treatment if appropriate. all free. not enough people know about this. it can be life saving. especially in an era where we are moving the covid services to private insurance. you can get the services for free. treatment is heavily underutilized. >> can i get the shot and the flu shot at the same time? what about rsv? >> i recommend waiting until the
11:48 am
beginning of october. rsv vaccine, those 60 and up, big problem here. i'm hearing that insurance is not covering the rsv. this is something we need to tackle as a country. we need to make sure they are accessible and covered. rsv high risk or over 60. >> stay with me. we have a stunning new message from the fda. a key ingredient of the over-the-counter cold medicines come of us buy doesn't work. for years we were told that sudafed and nyquil were effective. now, a unanimous advisory panel says a key ingredient is ineffective in getting rid of naze congestion. let's talk about this with
