fred: hi. liu: fred? hi. fred: good to meet you. liu: nice to see you. fred: likewise. liu jianqiang is an investigative journalist. his first story about the environment was an exposÉ about illegal dam construction on the upper yangtze river. it made national headlines. his hard-hitting stories eventually got him fired, so he continued his work as the beijing editor of china dialogue, an online international journal. [liu speaking chinese] fred: but t after 10 y years of reporting, he was feeling burned out.. [liu speaking chinese] translator: i think that our environmental activists and those who work for public welfare need more powerfulul spiritual supppport. why? every day what we do mamay be gooood deeds which h give us positive energrgy, but meanwnwhe what we are facing is thee darkest side of the world. every day what we see is polluted air, polluted rivers, and the slaughter of wild animals. this kind of n negative energy attacks usus all the time. we've been working on environmental protection for a long time, but the situation in china is getting worse every

>> we are, fred. first we heard from the broward county sheriff scott israel that he was sick to his stomach when he watched surveillance video that showed one of his deputies take up a position outside the 1200 building at stoneman douglas for upwards of four minutes while the killer was inside. and now we're learning through sources with the coral springs police department that they were surprised when they arrived on campus and found three other broward county sheriff's on that campus taking up defensive positions behind their vehicles with their weapons drawn. none of these four men making an effort to enter that building. and as the sheriff said, do their job which would have been to approach the killer and kill the killer. this disturbing information coming to light, fred, as the broward county sheriff says they will be investigating these officers. sources say after these tapes are reviewed we can expect a report likely in the next week. >> all right, kaylee hartung, lots of questions. thank yo

>> well, fred, how did this backlash come about? they offered discounts for several large company foies for services from them, but since the parkland shootings, several of the company, and if can put them back up on the screen, they have been under tremendous criticism by critics to basically cut their relationship with the nra, including united airlines who this morning posted as you saw there, they are reaching out to the nra and notifying this them that they are seizing or cutting ties with them, and the specific tweet is that united is notify ing ting a that we will no longer offer a discounted rate to their annual meeting, and we are asking that the nra remove our information from their with website. we can put up the delta air lines tweet as well. and it is similar as well. and when you are look at the companies and the organization, and fred, point of point here is that they have not said when and why they chose the sever the ties from the nra, but if you are reading between the lines, there is a social media campaign callin

. >> coming up, we'll talk to that father, fred guttenberg. and mark's 7-year-old child was killed at sandy hook. and the new movement for new gun laws spreading from coast to coast powered by the students and parents from parkland, florida. >> i turned 18 the day after. woke up to the news that my best friend was gone. and i don't understand why i can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war, an ar. >> all the school shootings, it doesn't make sense. should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it. and i'm pissed because my daughter i'm not going to see again. she's not here. >> how are we not stopping this after columbine, after sandy hook? i'm sitting with a mother that lost her son. it's still happening. >>> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. president trump today locking arms with the national rifle association, leading the cause for more guns in america's schools. following the listening session with families, victimized by gun violence, now with more tweets today. writing that he never said give t

fred: it's not entirely clear.ne thing is clear, they will be meeting that march deadline set asked fall. no one is talking about the deadline. i think that's going to come and go next month. we still have a lot of big issues around the rules of origin that have to do with the auto industry. there are discussions and still not agreements on dispute resolution. that mostly impacts the energy industry more than some of the others. those are two giant issues still out there. lastly, the idea of a sunset every five years. as you and the viewers know, president obama and i had a sunset and i'm not so fond of those. i think that they for john brinksmanship. there is, of course, an important mexican election coming up this summer. as a practical matter does that mean we are going into the fall? fred: it could very easily be into the fall. it also requires the trade promotion authority to lapse on july 1. it would have to be extended. president trump can extend it after making a formal request by april 1. there are a numbe

>> substantially, fred.we think about that trump seems to be more worried about vindication rather than getting to the truth, that's the exact reason why we should be concerned here. when we have the intelligence community, has repeatedly asked to not release this memo, because they indicated it would be reckless and dangerous. when we see that within the memo itself from nunes, at the bottom of it, it actually communicated that the investigation began because of the information from p papadopoulos which discredits the core of this memo. that's why we need the democratic memo. let's let people decide from there. >> what in your view was the damage done by the release of this gop memo? >> it's clear, it's intended to try to undermine an investigation. you know, when president trump is communicating that it's a disgrace that this is happening, the real disgrace is he doesn't want to get the truth out there. the real disgrace is he's not helping the people of puerto rico still without people, the people of the

>> it is very disturbing, fred. and it would be nice if he would send a tweet almost verdict wale like that but instead maybe the first line say people's lives are shattered and destroyed due to domestic violence. and to me, i don't care if it happened last night or last year or ten years ago. domestic violence is domestic violence. and there's no space and no tolerance for this. and look, i'm very well aware rob porter is a man with a wonderful pedigree, he has a tremendous work ethic, very well respected. in the white house. yet, i think it's important to set a tone and example for this country. when people have personal short comings in their personal lives are on morant, that should be disqualifying for public service, and i think that's an important message that would be helpful if we could learn from all of this and a big message coming out of the white house. >> so, ford, the president has spoken. he spoke yesterday. he tweeted this morning. deputy white house press secretary raj shah said this week the white

>> reporter: yeah, fred, you did get me in trouble.mom and texted, what good are battery-powered glove ifs you don't have them on. >> good point, mom! >> reporter: any time a bottle of water does this, fred, and freezes, you know it's pretty cold. it's going to smash a record for the coldest super bowl ever. and let's talk about this matchup. it's like a david versus goliath. and if philadelphia, they're playing in just their third super bowl. the patriots are looking to win their sixth ever. that would tie an nfl record for the most ever. and it's the same thing with the quarterback. if the eagles nick foles is rocky balboa, then tom brady for the patriots is like ivan draggo, a seeming immovable force. he became the oldest to ever win the league's mvp word, his third overall. and if he wins today, he will have more super bowl wins than any player in history. nick foles is starting in his first-ever super bowl and he doesn't have a supermodel wife, but he does have a wife who's battling a heart condition, he has a 7-month-old baby. he

these women that came forward, fred, right, you're entitled to due process.t what they went through. you know, maybe it's true and he feels sorry for them. he never once said that. the hypocrisy of trump but the hypocrisy of al franken when that issue came up, and we need due process now, and this man is charged 19 times and self-professed sexual attacker, fred, what do you expect from him? he cheered on the neo-nazis and supported roy moore. and this administration is not dialed into the -- >> all right, so, really quickly, avery, you are disputing all or which part of that? >> h well, i mean, look, you want to assign significance to the women who accused trump and this is legitimate but to tie it all in is troublesome when it come t comes to this particular event. the president was not sympathetic to the vick are tims, and that is true, but in dealing with porter and what you do on the one hand where he said well, i wish him well, and on the other hand he said off of the record, he is bad garbage and at best inconsistency, and bottom line, i must say it to

>> hey there, fred.es, yesterday, we saw the first full throated at mission without any caveats from president trump that russia interfered in the 2016 election. previously, as you know, fred, the president had said the russia investigation was a hoax that was being perpetrated by democrats and by his political opponents. at most the president at one point said it could have been russia but it also could have been china or a 400-point person sitting on their bed. yesterday for the first time the president admitted that russia interfered in the election, first in a tweet, and then in a statement from the white house. here's that tweet from the president now. he writes, quote, russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014, long before i announced i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did not wrong. no collusion. a note on that in just a moment. but here's the white house's statement. they write, quote, we cannot allow those seeking to sow confusion,

>> none yet, fred.ct, yesterday, paul manafort put out a statement saying that he is innocent and actually going as far as to say he had hoped his former business partner rick gates would have had the strength to go to battle and prove their innocence. rick gates obviously going in a different direction. he now becomes the third former trump campaign official to meet guilty and decide to cooperate in robert mueller's investigation, joining former aid george papadopoulos and former security adviser michael flynn. legal experts are telling us that this puts paul manafort in a paraluz situation. keep in mind some of the charges he's facing are identical or at least related to the charges that rick gates is facing. so if gates felt that the evidence was so stacked against him that his best course of action was to plead guilty, then manafort may also go down that road, especially if gates' testimony ultimately implicates manafort. beyond that, let's not forget that the sentences facing manafort are steep. po

>> reporter: yeah, fred. well, to hear her doctors say today that she is very lucky to be alive was striking. maddy survived a gunshot wound of a large caliber that pierced through her chest, her abdomen, and also her arm. first responder detailed when an officer first approached her on the school campus by the color of her skin, her paleness thinking she was already deceased, but a shake to her got a reaction out of her and they realized it was time to get her out of there as soon as possible. her family expressed gratitude to all those who helped her survive. >> i'm so grateful to be here and it wouldn't be possible without the officers and first responders and these amazing doctors and especially all the love that everyone has sent. i was sitting on my couch today just thinking about all the letters and gifts everyone has given and just, like, all the love that has been passed around. i wouldn't be here without it. >> reporter: maddy endured three surgeries during her time in the hospital. her doctors say

>> reporter: hey there, fred. we learned this afternoon that the president will be holding a listening session with students and teachers on wednesday, and on thursday he'll be meeting with local and state officials, also to discuss safety on school campus campuses. what we don't know is exactly who the president is going to be meeting with. no clarity from the white house yet on whether he's going to be meeting with some of these students that we've heard from from marjory stoneham douglas high school which is about 45 minutes away from where the president is staying at mar-a-lago. you did note that the president had this overnight tweet storm where he mentioned the shooting at the high school, but the majority of tweets he sent out late last night and early this morning focused on russia. the president taking aim at some of his favorite targets, democrats and the media, and also seeming to undercut one of his advisers, someone that he's been rumored to have some serious disagreements with in the past, that being

was then, but fred.nd is we chatted a long time. we had never met in person until today. and so this is, it's pretty awesome for me to be here with fred on the same panel. and so i'll go right into my reading. let me just grab my water over here. this is from my book "tightrope." and after my reading, you can get copies of it in the back of the room. my wife carol is manning the table. federal district court, uniondale, summer 1988. i sat shoulder to shoulder with my 22-year-old neff i few michael -- nephew michael. jet black hair, large are, dark eyes and a dazzling kind of smile. michael and i listened to federal prosecutors lay out their case against his father and my brother. earlier that morning, governor mario cuomo had called me at home. after three years of working nearly round the clock with cuomo at the governor's -- at the 2 world trade center office in new york, even sleeping over during snowstorms, i was now his man at the long island power authority laboring long hours to shut down the shor

. >> now, fred, source s wis with president's thinking tellcnn at this time that there is no consideration of firing the deputy attorney general. we should note though that several time swres heard from this administration votes of n confidence in a number of officials only for them to be shown the door shortly after. and those sources close to thet president tell us that part of the reason that he is hesitant to fire rod rosenstein is that he fears that taking that step may prolong the russian investigation, and from what we have seen from the president's a actions previously whether it is firing james comey or the reported frustration about jeff sessions from recusing himself from the session, and reports that he would fire robert mueller before being talkedt out of it by the attorneys is that the president is frustrated by the inability to influence the russian investigation, and he wa wants it over immediately, and in part, because it is casting a shadow over everything that the administration does, and despite that, the president's approval numbers are tick upward and he tweet ed abou

so, now, they're playing cleanup, fred. both porter and david sorensen are out of their jobs, but it's clear that this controversy will continue for the white house. fred? >> all right, ryan nobles at the white house. thank you so much. earlier i spoke with democratic congressman adam smith and i asked him about a letter from democratic senators, demanding the white house give a timeline of who knew what and when about the abuse allegations. >> i think there's two troubling aspects of this. one is, yes, we do need to know when they knew what the situation was with mr. porter. and i think, you know, kellyanne conway actually described it quite well. given that mountain of evidence, the second they had that mountain of evidence, he should have been gone. so when did they have it? and did they pursue it? now, my understanding is that chief of staff john kelly knew about this a while back, but he says he didn't know the totality of it. but i would think that the second you had an inkling of this, you would have inquired a about

we have fred pleitgen in moscow. fred, this is an incredible story. what more do we know? >> reporter: it is incredible. this oligarch is the main guy who was indicted by robert mueller last friday for running the troll factory that meddled in the 2016 election. we linked him to the militia operating in eastern syria. called wagner. one reason they tried to move into the area controlled by pro u.s. forces because that area is rich in oil fields. guess who controls the oilfield who would benefit? the same guy. he certainly had a big economic initiative to do this. however, we are trying to get some comment from him. we have tried in the past. we have gotten no answer. so far, the russian government hasn't answered or commented on this case either. this is potentially a big escalation and twist in the events going on around the election meddling and this as well. alex. >> the russians saying we had no control. thank you, fred. >>> the united nations security council meeting to decide the cease-fire. they failed to vote on a cease-fire to end assad regime. the u.s. accuses ru

the anticipation is really pick up here, fred. is that big question, can the eagles do what no other philadelphia team has done? and that's win a super bowl. this is the third one they've ever been to. they're going against the goliath, right? the patriots have won six. and if they win this sixth one, that would tie an nfl record for the most. it's a daunting task, but there's a whole bunch of people from philly and who are on their way here from philly who think they can get it done. listen to this. ♪ on the road to victory ♪ fly, eagles, fly >> look at pat. that is philadelphia nation, really eating this entire experience up, really embracing it. we'll see if nick foles, the backup quarterback can rally his troops and get the job done against tom brady and the patriots. a lot of interesting things here to think about as far as bets, too. there's a lot of things you can bet on like what the coin toss will be, the national anthem will be over two minutes, under two minutes, a lot of fun surrounding it, but it's all about what's go

>> reporter: indeed, fred.et me point out something today that is new, and that is the fact they have opened the main street right in front of stoneham douglas high school. it is the first time the general public has been able to drive by or even walk up to the school, and many people are taking advantage. the traffic is bumper to bumper and you see many families coming, one, to bear witness, and two, to pay their respects to what happened. as for what is going on with the investigation, investigators still looking into, were there red flags? were there warning signs this was potentially in the offing? we already know about the miscue that went with the fbi. now they've obtained records from a welfare organization here in south florida, and they report that back in 2016 in which he showed himself on snapchat cutting his arms and talking about obtaining a gun that that was deemed so serious that investigators went to his home. they talked to his mother, they talked to nikolas, they looked at his living environme

joining me, fred -- fred fleitz. let's start with the mueller stuff.y are putting together more evidence mr. manafort was not necessarily above board all those years before he came on to the trump campaign. but they have nothing as far as collusion goes, nothing that would say the president and his campaign team knowingly teamed up with the russians in order to affect the outcome of the election. so why is this still going on? >> that's exactly right. it's infuriating to have these out of control counsels indicting people for alleged crimes that have nothing to do with their mandate. we saw this with previous counsels. we could see people closer to mr. trump's orbit because they lied to the fbi or didn't file a form. this has nothing to do with collusion. in my opinion, trish, it's a collusion story that has been disproved. this investigation should be shut down and the president should talk about pardoning never his orbit. this an abuse of our justice system. >> isn't it perhaps what vladimir putin wanted? if we go back and look at this and how it cam

we should note, fred, the president here in mar-a-lago staying in palm beach for the long weekend. he is not golfing today. as he usually does over the weekend. in part, out of respect for the victims and families of those affected by the shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school. just some 40 miles from here in palm beach, fred. >> all right, boris sanchez, thank you so much. >>> all right, let's take a closer look now at the stunning russia indictments. joining me right now to break it all down is cnn crime and justice reporter shimon prokupecz. how significant is this indictment and what are some of the details that people really need to know and embrace? >> there certainly are a lot of details in this indictment. i think that sound you played from mcmaster is the key here. it is the first time we learned exactly what our intelligence folks here in the u.s. were saying and really what the fbi has been holding back in its investigation of russia meddling. it's also significant in its symbol system for the investigators, the fbi and the department of justice, which has been

fred, you talked to your story a moment ago.ld tell you that what you've done in this effort, irrespective of we may have a different view of something, that's courage. that's real courage. now, on the issue you've raised about your background checks, related directly to what you said about the assault weapons ban, it's not the loopholes. it's the problem that once you start looking at how easy it is to get around it, you would literally have to ban every semi-automatic rifle that's sold in america. [ cheers and applause ] >> fair enough. fair enough. that is a valid position to hold. but my colleagues do not support banning every semi-automatic rifle sold in america. [ audience reacts ] >> i believe that the idea that a gunman like this could march down the halls of stoneman douglas high school and fire off 150 rounds in six or seven minutes, that gun should be banned. there is no reason -- >> that is a very valid point. but my point is that under the law that you support, there would still be 2,000 guns that were legal that co

now the conversation goes even beyond that, fred.discussed the weapons that this individual deranged individual would use. and also one of the people in this chat room told the suspect well you know, about your ar-15, there is this accessory you can purchase that will make it an automatic weapon. now we know from law enforcement sources that the gunman used in this case was not an automatic weapon. he did not purchase that particular accessory. well this conversation goes on to talk about the body armor that he was going to buy, the suspect says in this chat room i got paid $330 today. i'm going to go online and purchase body armor. guess what? i got $30 discount and free shipping. so, fred, this just takes us into this disturbed world in which this individual functioned and the conversations he was having with other people which really makes you wonder did these people say something and now that we know that a person close to the suspect did contact the fbi, that that tip fell through the cracks, that particular tip was not investig

. >> fred, first of all, good afternoon and good to be with you. in my letter i cite three foundations, three groundings for my proposal that the governor remove the sheriff. those are as follows. number one, the deputy embedded within the school at the time of the shooting, instead of confronting the killer, instead of carrying out his obligations and responsibilities in the most pivotal of times, apparently cowered and did not confront the killer. number two, by the coral springs police department said three deputies shortly after the killers were physically present at the school and were behind their vehicles with pistols drawn instead of moving immediately into the school. third, the third foundation -- again, all of this is in the release and grounded in the release, grounded in reports, is the 23 calls that have come into the sheriff's office, most disturbly. including late last year of 2017, the sheriff sum rooizmisu follows, that he was the school shooter. in my opinion, that's ground for the governor to consider removal. >> in the intervie
