sasse: i think mr. smith goes to washington had been a crappy movie if jimmy stewart had stayed around for a hundred years and cozied up to k street and done everything conceivably possible to keep his job here, yet there's no way you can tell the important story of someone coming to fight for something if one of their main calculuses, calculi, not sure of the latin, but one of the main inputs what they think of the question, will this be popular 12 months or 18 or 24 months from now as opposed is this the right thing to do for my kids and constituents' kids and grandkids. we don't need a short term finger in the windism. and if you do that, if you drain the swamp you have to drive a lot of people who are the swamp protectors out of the swamp to go back home. what we have is a bunch of people who debt elected and decide it's a one-way ticket and people are from where they from and run for office and once they get to washington buy a permanent home and eventually stop visiting the home they came from and

sasse: i think mr. smith goes to washington would've been an incredibly crappy movie if jimmy stewart stayed around for 100 years, cozied up to k street and then did everything to keep his job here. yet there is no way you can tell the really important story about someone coming to fight for something if one of their main calculuses -- calculi, to the way they think about the question is, is this going to be popular 12, 18, 24 months from now as opposed to is this the right thing to do for my kids and my constituents' kids and constituents' grandkids? we need a lot more long-term thinking around here, and if we are going to do that, if you are going to drain the swamp, you have to drive a whole bunch of people who are the swamp protectors out of the swamp to go back home. what we have right now as a whole lot of people who get elected and decide it is a one-way ticket. people are from where they from. when they get to washington, they buy a permanent home and stop visiting the home they came from. they

late last year ben sass asked the justice department to investigate its treatment of epstein.ommenting on acosta's future but does say this about epstein. >> this guy victimized dozens, probably scores of little girls and the sentence he got was pathetic and every mom and dad in america, frankly not just moms and dads, but anybody with a heart should be heart broken by what happened to those girls. government ought to be doing a lot more of this. this isn't a time for people to say oh, is a republican or democrat going to be implicated? every little man should stand on the side of the little girls. >> amen. the indictment contains some very troubling details. more on that from miguel marquis. >> reporter: there are lurid sexual allegations against jeffrey epstein who's been charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but new york prosecutors, they're looking for more. >> if you believe you are a victim of jeffrey epstein, we want to hear from you. >> reporter: prosecutors allege over four years epstein lured underage women, some as young as 14 years old, to massage him and en

no comment from republican senator ben sass but he did say this about epstein. >> this guy victimized dozens, probably scores of little girls and the sentence he got was pathetic and every mom and dad in america, frankly not just moms and dads, but anybody with a heart should be heart broken by what happened to the girls. government ought to be doing a lot more of this, going after bastards like this guy. as a republican or a democrat going to be implicated? every person should stand on the side of the little girls. >> the indictment contains troubling details. more from miguel marquez. >> reporter: there are more sexual allegations again against jeffrey epstein who's been charged with sex trafficking and conspira conspiracy. new york prosecutors, they're looking for more. >> if you are a victim of this man, jeffrey epstein, we want to hear from you. >> reporter: prosecutors allege jeffrey epstein lured 14-year-old girls to his home to massage him. he's pleaded not guilty. in addition to finding hundreds, possibly if not thousands of nude girls, investigators found compact discs with

we've seen ben sasse speak out. we've seen lindsey graham suggest if something bad happened, that should be looked in. it's coming from the left. we've seen nancy pelosi and chuck schumer call for his resignation. yesterday in the gaggle with the president, the president didn't seem to suggest at all any great focus or will to look into this situation because he's so pleased with how acosta has performed as the labor secretary. but we do know there are democratic lawmakers who want to see a hearing and would like to make public whatever findings with how the case was handled. >> eugene, thank you so much. time for coffee. we'll talk to you in a bit. >>> let's get to lead diplomatic cables which reveal that sir ken darroch does not think who highly of this president. in those memos, darroch wrote that trump is inseept and insecure. and trump has said, a back wac and pompous fool. the state department was asked about that yesterday. >> the state department -- >> we will continue to deal with all accredited individuals

nebraska senator ben sasse will join us here. thank you very much for being here. what was it about this case that drew your attention so stronglt you involved in reopening it? >> this is what government exists to do, to protect the powerless and the voiceless. so many things in washington, d.c., that got the government does it has no business doing, but this is what government is for. it's to defend weak victims like all these girls. now many of them i guess our thirtysomething woman, but these little girls were raped by this guy and traffic by the sky and the "miami herald" reporting from late november and early december is really incredible and those journalists did some really extraordinary work and service to their neighbor and i would share the judiciary committee's oversight subcommittee and i reached out to the department of justice repeatedly in december and january saying they have to reopen this investigation. >> martha: with regards to mr. acosta, the labor secretary now, you hurt his explanation at that hearing. he says that the evidence merited the de

sass bernard, president of building bridges across the river. you are doing such exciting things. you are addressing the quality of life is fronts and you have several wonderful projects in the works. tell us how bbar g started. >> it began with the wc smith company, an orgization that purchased the properties, villages and parkland back in the '90s and saw a place for families to go. because of that they created what i cona humanitarian mall right now at the arc, the town hall arts and recreation d it really was for residents to have a place to go in a very difficult neighborhood. so your programs and projects very creatively address social health, environmental, and economic disparities primarily in wards 7 and 8? >> yes. >> and in recent years you have expanded your footprint by leadin and partnerships in education and the artsre and rion campus, which we know as the arc. so tell us about some of these. >> let me give you our vision. so our vision is really for resif nts easte river to create a community that's thriving, a community that is charactezed by social cultural and ec

. >> and to that point, ben sasse, republican senator of nebraska, is among those who months ago was outraged with "the miami herald" and blessed them for incredibly solid detailed investigative reporting that the attorney in new york said helped them start to build their case. these victims will now get their day in court. ben sasse saying he has wealth, power and connections but the children he abused have the law on theirs. epstein should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, power and wealth be damned. it is a statement. they're essentially repudiating a member of the president's cabinet saying, pal, whatever you saw on paper, you cut a really bad deal. >> that is the question right now, what happens with acosta. can he survive in the cabinet as more details come out. these were heinous crimes. these were horrible things that happened to dozens of girls. to have this sweetheart deal where the man is still able to go to work at his high-powered job while he's supposed to be serving time, there are real questions about how do you agree to that. how do you let this slide. >>

ben sass knowing this was true voted for alex acosta.s the question also, lisa, this guy obviously is a rich and powerful man who knows rich and powerful people. could he try to use what he may know of other people that may have committed similar crimes that he may partied with and culpable. >> he'll absolutely use that and his high power of lawyers and will use everything at his disposal. the other side of this is the victims. one of the reasons that was given a decade ago from his sweetheart deal was that his victims had problems and potentially drug issues and inconsistency. i work with sexual assault victims everyday including sex trafficking cases. that's always the case. this is a vulnerable population. it is up to the prosecutors to get as many as possible and go through their lives and help them testify and stand up against the billionaire. i hope that's going to happen this time around. >> can you explain cynthia, why these are federal charges? if he's somehow able to beat these charges here, could for instance the state of flor

. >> there are two sass pecks pece used victims to get to other slams, could he cooperate?y, but, can't prejudge. this guy was around you know most rarefied circles, high end. the media is interested, i'm not going to speculate but he could. elizabeth: president bill clinton's office put out a statement, he knows nothing about the terrible crimes that jeffrey epstein pleaded guilty to, bill clinton took a total of 4 trips in epstein's plane, and he had a meeting with him in 2002, he made a brief visit to epstein's new york apartment, he has not spoken to him in over a decade, bill clinton said he never been to little st. james island, his ranch in new mexico. >> that is public relation, he wants to get in front of the notion he had flown on epstein's jet, from my knowledge of the case, i read books about it, i know that he interacted with bill clinton, i'm not saying that bill knew about the crimes, i don't know that. back to your notion, i want to be careful, he could cooperate against others, we'll see, he is facing if i read indictment correctly 10 year minimum. elizabet

vonnie: damien sass hour of bloomberg intelligence, certainly a reaction in the lira.resident taken control of the central bank. what would he do if there would be a jump condition in the bond market? damian: the lira is flat to the dollar and given the fact that they dismissed the former central bank governor earlier this week. just thinking about the sanctions, it remains to be seen what erdogan is thinking. he thinks perhaps his personal relationship with trump will bridge the divide. there are three sanctions being mulled about within washington. one is quite extreme, borderline iranian sanctions. that would be devastating for the economy given its external debt loads. , the proxy for sovereign credit risk in turkey is up 14 basis points to well over 400 basis points. that is the second widest to argentina. as we try to get a sense of what he is thinking, i think it has more to do with decisiveness inside the ak party. , the former defects president and former finance minister splinter off and maybe creating their own party. on the heels of the loss of the istanbul

octavia boulevard for two blocks between fell and heys streets and a protected bike lane, supporter sass say the closure would make it safer for children and ease traffic congestion in the area. >>> barkley council phased out the use of natural gas in new buildings. the entire council voted that natural gas pipelines won't be allowed in many new building projects beginning january 1st. representatives from the sierra club and pg&e said they support the plan to reduce reliance on natural gas. it's cleaner and safer and less expensive. the new law would apply to buildings that have been reviewed by the state energy commission. >>> the oak land council unanimously voted to ban agencies from using facial recognition technology. it would mean police and other departments cannot use this new technology. oakland police currently don't have that software, now they won't be allowed to buy it. it keeps the city of oak land from using it if the software is given to them by other law enforcement agencies. this was just a preliminary vote, the council is due to take the final vote in september. san f

ted cruz and ben sasse renewing calls to use that cash to build a wall in their bill called the el chapoug lord said his case was stained. he was convicted of murder and drug trafficking earlier this year. rob: an army court ruling that beau bergdahl got a fair trial. the president has criticized the former soldier who was captured by the taliban after abandoning his post in afghanistan. >> tired of sergeant bergdahl who is a traitor, a no-good traitor, who should have been executed. rob: bergdahl's attorneys a argued the president's comments and tweets swayed the military trial. in 2017, he pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior, resulting in a dishonorable discharge. jillian: a florida city is playing baby shark on repeat to keep homeless people away from a city-owned banquet hall. rob: wow. ♪ baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo. ♪ baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo. ♪ baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo. ♪ baby shark. ♪ mommy shark doo doo doo doo doo doo. rob: that's the weirdest story of the day. west palm beach started playing the children's song three weeks ago in an effort to

where is ben sasse? a lot of people thought that ben sasse would take politics to the higher plane. this doesn't look like a higher plain. let's talk about cory gardner in colorado. that's a swing state. cory is in trouble. >> joe, how about lamar alexander who's retiring? i mean, alexander isn't even running again. and he has been a main stay of so many good things that have happened in the republican party. where is lamar alexander? i mean, i can give you examples that just don't make sense that they're not speaking out. it's bizarre. >> why aren't they speaking out? why hasn't mitt romney spoken out yet? why hasn't thom tillis, where's joni ernst? >> i think he has a shock collar on him. >> where are all these people that should be this is not hard, mike barnicle. this is what all of america used to criticize david duke for saying five years ago and this is why david duke has publicly time and again celebrated the presidency of donald trump. is that where the republican party wants to be? because that's where they are right now. >> they are cowering in the corner. they are a part

a couple of the republicans have come out, ben sasse, susan collins, and others expressed concern. yesterday expressed deep concern about the plea deal. we got to get to the bottom of it. so you are starting to see republicans now really have serious questions about what happened. the outrageous thing about this, the deal was illegal because they didn't tell the victims. it was secret, they hid it from the victims, it was the cushiest deal ever. when alex acosta cut a deal allowing epstein to plead guilty to prostitution charges, these girls were not prostitutes. they were human trafficking victims and basically allowing him to plead guilty to a prostitution charge was like revictimizing, some of these girls were 14-year-old middle schoolers, when epstein was preying upon them, and acosta letting him plead to a prostitution charge is like pouring salt in the wounds that these young ladies experienced at the time. it looks like they may finally get justice, thank god. >> i wanted to clarify, i made it sound like it was acosta, it's epstein who's the accused sex trafficker. it was ac

some prominent senators who have been mostly silent, people with names like portman and blunt and sasse. you cover republican reaction or lack of it often for your newspaper. what's going on there? >> it's an absolute paralysis by fear. they are terrified of getting on the wrong side of trump's base, which has to be their base if they want to win reelection. they are also mindful that they would be seen as causing strife within their own party, and they don't want the president's wrath. this is a guy who is known to attack opponents regardless of their partisan affiliation for the sin of speaking out against him. this is not a republican party that toll rates dissent. i think what is also going on here is this fear they have of being caricatured and attacked in the conservative media. the conservative media is also very unkind to anybody who is not seen as sufficiently pro-trump. so all of those senators, i think, until they see that they have no more political power drawn from standing with donald trump, they're going to continue to stand with donald trump through moments like this, yo

. >>> hey, until january, raj shah sass sarah sanders top deputy at the white house, a chief spokesman, now he is joining fox core, the parent company of fox news. he is now a senior vice president at the network. at this point the fox-trump relationship has been very well established. the new book american carnage looks at how this began. you a tore tim alberta joins me now. it's been a hot seller all week. you argued figures leak sarah palin broke the ground, loosened up the ground, how did that fox relationship manifest? >> it's pretty interesting, brian, when you think of the convergence of events around the obama presidency, the time he was elected in '08 and taking officer in '09, we focused oand the political polarization. all of that plays a huge role in what we see today. the other important thing is the explosion of social media, the continued advancement of fox news and the cable news ecosystem and how that played into the information or misinformation in some cases that voters were receiving. obviously, the tea party wave and the ascent of trump. much of that was intertwine

has already purr sassed saudi arabisass surpassed saudi arabia >> we all knew who opec was, there's agoing around congress that would ftry to outlaw organizations like this do you think this is an acknowledgment that opec needs some help? >> they want to balance the market, they want to provide the right amount of oil to their customers and the marketplace. they are focused on inventories. they want inventories to be normalized >> what does that mean for prices, for gas prices and oil prices what does that mean normalization of inventories >> there is not always a direct connection between the inventories of crude oil and prices for transportation fuels. but generally speaking, a balanced market is in line with the prices we've seen recently >> our audience probably doesn't trade oil like your clients do, but they do put gasoline in their car. maybe they own oil and gas stocks the ultimate outcome for them is what happens oil and gas prices longer term. if opec does not have russia and the ten non-opec nations with them now more aligned, do you see the price of oil likely to go down m

that got, you know, 15 democrats, that critically got ben sasse, the republican from nebraska to say to the justice department, wait a minute. what on earth happened here because it looks like you guys broke the law back in 2007 when you cut a plea deal with jeffrey epstein giving him this cushy 13-month sentence in a county jail where he was free to walk around and go to work and the fbi investigation, the federal investigation was cut off and none of the victims were told that this plea deal was going on. the plea deal was struck importantly by the current labor secretary who was then the u.s. attorney in miami, alexander acosta. you know, so interesting questions for him. he always said, well, you know, it was -- he told sources of mine, well, i was told to leave jeffrey epstein alone. i was told jeffrey epstein was to -- had something to do with intelligence. so i think this is the beginning of the second chapter of this story. there are many questions about this man, why he was able to escape justice. but this is such an important milestone. what happens tomorrow. >> and we're e

where's mitt romney, where's ben sasse? where are they when it matters?e evangelical church? where are these people? they preach these things from the pulpit every week about loving each other, about, you know, accepting -- we're supposed to help the poor and all these things and they are some of the most rabid supporters of this president and they sit here and rationalize it and shame on them, too. and what you had the author of "american carnage" on earlier on your show where he talked about an incident where the president said those fing evangelicals laughing about that because he's duped them, yeah, here's another example. where are they? this is on their hands, too. >> yeah. i think mitt romney did speak b out today, but, you know, as we said -- >> not initially. >> -- we haven't -- yeah. thank you, all. i appreciate it. we'll be right back. >> thanks, don. his luxurious fuy nerves when i'm worried about moving into our new apartment. why don't we just ask geico for help with renters insurance? i didn't know geico helps with renters insurance. yeah,

senator ben sasse calling on the government to keep him in jail. be interesting to see what the federal judge will do here. the other thing that is really worth pointing out here is the dichotomy that you have going on where you have federal prosecutors in the southern district of florida arguing in court that that nonprosecution agreement should stand while you have federal prosecutors up here in the southern district of new york saying he should go to prison and with these charges for years and years if he's found guilty of them. >> stephanie and tom, as soon as this thing is unsealed please come back. we want the details. >>> let's bring into the conversation msnbc contributor and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid and msnbc legal analyst and former prosecutor who has prosecuted sex crimes. cynthia, talk to us about the deal that was reached back in 2008 because people keep asking why on earth would jeffrey epstein have gotten such a sweetheart deal? the deal gave him immunity to any potential co-conspirators. i just rattled off a who's who po

reporter: the handling of the case being done by the justice department after republican senator ben sasseletter to the doj questioning why the agreement brokered with epstein was "a sweetheart deal." in court epstein's attorneys argued today's indictment is a do-over for the florida case but the u.s. attorney said the agreement made in florida has no bearing on the new charges. >> that agreement only binds by its terms, only binds the southern district of florida. the southern district of new york is not bound by that agreement and is not a signatory to that agreement. >> reporter: and it's important to note, wolf, that when u.s. attorney berman talked about this case he mentioned the victims. he said they deserve their day in or the. the u.s. attorney's office says within the last 436 hours the office has been fielding calls from more potential victims and attorne attorneys. wolf? >> brynn gingras in new york covering this case. thank you very much. just ahead house speaker nancy pelosi calls out republicans for what she says is the true motivation behind the push to add a citizenship qu

where's the ben sasse? i will not say all republicans are racist but the racists who have chosen to participate in the two-party system. i have much love for rina and been in dc and a good-hearted republican, but the problem is that this is no longer the republican party that we know, that we grew up with. this is the party of trump. they have no identity outside of white nationalism. >> they have no courage. we're not talking about rina. we're talking about my congress, mitch mcconnell. >> mcconnell, we know he is. where's jeff flake? olympia snow, who were supposed to be the moderators? lindsey graham, for that matter. >> i'll get to lindsey graham. somebody call and tell him, i'm going to get to him. but let me bring this in. rina, marks the tenth anniversary of president obama's infamous summit where he hosted basically a rap session between a white police officer and harvard professor henry louis gates after gates was arrested on suspicion. he was breaking into his own massachusetts home. the president
