it's going to hold the u.s. postal service to the same standard as these private mail carriers we talked about and require that they get advanced electronic data, not on 36% but on 100% of packages entering the united states, and good data, and then present that to law enforcement. we're not punishing the postal service. we're forcing them to jump through unnecessary hoops. we're simply saying that given the crisis we face, the u.s. postal service, a federal agency, should require the same types of advanced electronic data from foreign countries that private mail carriers do, and we give the postal service a year to do it. by the way, when i talk to mail carriers about this issue, when i talk to postal inspectors about this issue, certainly when i talk to customs and border protection individuals about this issue, they all agree. who wouldn't? they have families, too. they understand. this issue needs to be addressed and it needs to be addressed urgently. by the way, the united states of america provides this advanced

one that did not come up is the postal service. i thought of the personal service as a humongous piece of how these drugs are entering the country. are you the right person to speak to that? kim? i'm glad, that is one of my favorite topics. >> the postal service is doing a tremendous job. specifically, the law enforcement arm of the postal service, was very early to understand the magnitude of the problem in the fact that the u.s. postal service was a critical vulnerability that we had, and it was being used as a vector for drugs to get into the united states. we began working with them closely, across inter-agencies, with other law-enforcement. we did a couple of things. the first thing, is, to get advanced electronic data from the shipping -- from the originating company, so that they know the shipments that are coming into the united states before they get here. that is usually about 72 hours out. that is for tract and untracked packages. the volumes that we are talking about are enormous. up to about 144,000 packages every day.

for the infrastructure, which enables us to mainthan universal service obligation. >> reporter: the postalervice says the package business funded almost a quarter of institutional costs last year, helping enableai it to mai a network compromised of roughly $650 million u.s. addresses for which delivery is required. but the results coming after a flurry of criticism from the oval office, as preside trump as recently as last month slammed the postal service's top customer, amazon. >> the post office is losing billions o dollars,nd the taxpayers are paying for that money, because it deliverses pack for amazon at a very below cost. and that's not fr to the united states, it's not fair to our taxpayers. >> reporter: but today the quasi governmental agency, which by law isn't funded by taxpayer dollars did call package pricing a quote, hyper competitive environment one in which the usps works with consultants on pricing that ultimately is approved by regulators. the postmaster said she welcomes a review ordered by the president, that the postal service finances deserve to be studied and larger p

it's done by the postal regulatory commission. 's sort of like bringing in the head of the sec and telling him to bring a securities fraud case against a particular company or bringing in the head of the fcc and telling him, you know, take away nbc's license. this isn't the way our government works. it's the way it works in the philippines maybe now or venezuela or hungary or whether there are strongmen around the world. that's what trump wants to be. he wants to be able to carry out his personal vendettas and use the power of his office to punish his enemies. he's mad at jeff bezos because in 2015, after trump lied about him, bezos tweeted #sendtrumpintospace, and that infuriated trump, and he's been trying to get him ever since. it's not going to be successful. it is grounds for impeachment. article 2 of the impeachment articles against richard nixon went to his using the irs to punish his enemies. they consider that an impeachable offense in 1974. so, you know, if this ever does come to impeachment, this could be an issue again.

what did the postal banking set up in japan look like? have one of the oldest postal banking systems and one of the biggest. a very large percentage of people's savings were kept in the postal bank, but it was government controlled and the problem is they were also a lender and midlands to companies . when the companies did not pay the loans back, a lot of the times the postal bank would continue to lending keep them on life support, which not only would waste people's savings, but also those on the companies would compete with healthier companies and compete down their profits and basically it was bad for the economy. have -- maybe not corruption, but certainly politically well-connected people would loans from the postal bank, and it was -- even though it was this big public ethics scandal and crony capitalism and a lot of people got really mad, around the mid kuzumi,ands -- the mentor of the current prime minister abe, foth of this hard battle and called a snap election and finally one to move toward privatization. they have finally don

service, which by the way, the postal service makes money on. ump says they lose money on amazon, that's a lie. it's factually inaccurate. and gary cohn, you know, one of the many reasons he quit is because he tried to explain the facts to president obama about the u.s. postal service. he didn't want to hear about it because it's a personal vendetta. >> and when the president's lawyers are trying to argue to a judge perhaps that he does not have the time to comply with a subpoena from the special prosecutor or a michael avenatti subpoena in a civil case, what the president has been doing with his time by way of playing golf becomes kind of relevant. and the amount of time this president has devoted to the postmaster general and postage rates sets a record for american presidents. i don't know how far back you would have to go to find a president who actually met with the postmaster general. >> it used to be back in the days of fdr when jim farley was his top political adviser and the postmaster general, there was a lot of patronage that the postm

up for the u.s. postal services own stamp out hunger food drive. >> he left my bag here, didn't touch it, and there were a few others every place else, and so he wasn't going to pick up the food, and he never did. >> reporter: but tonight the buzz is about what happened here in los gatos and whether there was a better way to deliver a message. the father of the man whose trash can was knocked down did confirm to us that the postal carrier himself visited his house and apologized directly, but that carrier never explained why he drove over that trash can. now the u.s. postal service says they cannot tell us whether or not this carrier has been disciplined because that is a personnel matter. reporting live in los gatos, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >>> okay, thank you, marianne. it is dominating the san francisco skyline. and as of tonight the salesforce tower open for business. today marks the grand opening but also offered a grand opportunity for its multibillion dollar owner to make a statement about

>> well look there's a little bit of controversy here because the u.s. postal even though they are losing just tons and tons of money, they're actually making profit or revenue, a gain on the package delivery side in part because of the amazon service, so there's concern in some circles even within the administration that if they end up doing this it's going to hurt the postal service even more but look they've been, look trump and business os have been feuding for years now remember when he wanted to send trump into outer space with the exploratory rocket business, so i'm not really surprised that this is they're feuding back and forth here. liz: do you think the president should be getting in at this level and telling the postal service what to do? he's also talking about the creation of a task force. this postal service to your point, eric has been a problem for some time. other countries have privatized their postal service your reaction? >> i think absolutely. look the president is doing everything connell: with what he promised the american people with wh

he sees the postal service's finances. he says they're bleeding. he financial problems there. that's been pushed back by his advisers who say we can't just double the rates on companies unilaterally. that's a regulatory commission. we have to go through a lot of different steps to make this happen. it's a complicated situation for the president but i don't think it's one that's abating any time soon. >> they did not deny your reporting and i noticed kellyanne conway did not dispute your reporting. there's been a presentation of the facts but still the president doesn't believe it? >> no, the president believes amazon is a company just making too much money off mom and pop shops, as kellyanne conway phrased it earlier. the president thinks amazon has too lucrative and too sweet a deal. that's up for debate by others, but the president sees that. the president has also complained about the "washington post" owned by jeff bazos and sometimes complaints about amazon comes after "washington post" stories that he doesn't like. but the president in these m

we need to take a look at what we can do to support the u.s. postal service. because as it was mentioned at the very beginning of today's briefing, you're seeing millions of packages coming through the postal facilities and there's no electronic data tracking mechanism in place. we were conducting another interview earlier today. and we were asked you know, why does the postal service have a pass on this? i don't think they have a pass. i think this they've become so busy. and you know, for lack of a better term, our public is not educated as much as they should be. as to the issues, the threat that we're facing from this issue. that's one of the reasons we're up here to support the congressman and hopefully get all members of congress aware of this problem so they can take it back to the constituents. also so they can enact legislation that will help the postal service to do a better job of what they want to do i truly believe they want to do it they don't have whether it's the funding or the man power or whether it's the authority. i really think they want to

they look at the facts and they say that amazon has not cost the postal service any money and the president is targeting them because jeff bezos owns "the washington post." even though that has nothing to do with amazon and that that is inappropriate. >> i have seen the figures offense and defense. i have seen numbers. we could probably do this on both sides. a lot of numbers, by the way, have not been made available. we'll see. all i know is, america is prospering. and if we can fix the technology stealing, which is so important in the china story, and we can get these market openings, this will be good for american export sales. i think it's good for chinese growth. we will have come a long way. and the president is now very much behind our trade mission. i believe every single american, really, every single american, george, will benefit from open trade, lower barriers, and technology protection. and by the way, tax cuts and cutbacks of regulation are playing a major positive mood. we're in the 3% zone, george. my pals. i have a lot of friends on the other side of the aisle, they told me

the postal service has a number of problems, one being that people don't send letters much anymore. y have enormous legacy costs on retirement plans on postal workers and retirees. they have big structural problems. they've tried to say here's an avenue for money. people like to use amazon and for the final leg usps delivers it. maybe they could charge more and make more. that's a question for the postal rate commission but these are long-term contracts that avoid them facing bankruptcy. it's just not what a united states president is supposed to do to have this out for this one company and go after them relentlessly. it's benae teath the office. >> the u.s. delegation is going to go to china. what are you hearing from your sources? >> i think it went pretty well. i think the chinese have come around to the view that okay, yes, we are interested in getting the u.s. to sell more products in china in a way that could reduce the trade deficit, this is what trump is upset with, the bilateral trade deficit with china. there's outstanding issues on electronic theft from the chinese. but th

we don't know what the deal that amazon has with the postal services. that contract is private. so we don't have those numbers. all we can go on is what's been reported in "the washington post." post master general essentially arguing to the president that this deal is a good one overall for the post office. we know that the system has had a lot of financial problems, but frankly, her and other people around the president are arguing that deal the like this to make deliveries that are keeping the post office afloat. >> anita, what's your thought on this? it brings up the question of his focus. when there's north korea, iran, this gun violence conversation as well. distracti distraction, some might say? the optics can't be good on this either way though. >> no, but let's remember, there, clearly, he is focusing on amazon, but he's focused on a lot of companies, unlike previous presidents, he has called out specific companies. sony and coke and verizon, all sorts of companies for all sorts of things over the last year and a half. and even before he was president. talking about how

a lot of that goes to the postal service. rse more jobs, guys. >> i think it's incredible, the amazon think, all the on jecks people have raised. the other two things to point out is first of all, the postal service has a contract with amazon. and second of all, has donald trump never ever heard of fedex, u.p.s.? does he not think in the postal service abrogated its agreement with amazon, they wouldn't find just as good a deal with one of the competitive private shipping services? it's nuts. >> you know what fred smith's saying right now, bring it on. >> give me a call. >> i'll cut a deal with you. i mean, yes, and what happens if amazon does, mika, decide to cut a deal with fred smith. and fred direction, they're pretty good at this stuff. imagine how much revenue would be lost by the united states post office. >> i done think jeff bezos is all that worried about this particular problem, i have to say. >> no. >> i am, for the country. senator bob corker is retiring this year and offer ago blunt assessment of washington's inab

( cheers and applause ) yes. now, to their credit, trump's staff has tried to correct him. his top economic advisors even put together "powerpoint presentations to debunk his concern that amazon was dodging taxes and exploiting the u.s. postal service." but trump has been ignoring their facts because, as one advisor put it, "it's not the narrative he wants." oh, really? well, just to do tonight's monologue, i had to learn about bulk rate postage, so this isn't the narrative any of us want. we'll be right back with amy schumer.

we found badly bent mail slots at drop boxes at the u.s. postal service. a man who did not want to be identified told us he thought they looked suspicious and actually reached in and could feel the mail jammed in the chute. he dropped his own bills in, including his $2,200 mortgage payment in one of the boxes. now, a week later he was notified it had been stolen. >> i do not have any proof. i mean, it's not hard to connect the dots that clearly an individual or individuals were able to access it not by breaking it open, but by shoving their arm in there. >> the postal service told us the boxes would be fixed immediately. the man's bank covered the stolen check. now he is worried about identity theft. >>> a billionaire property owner is speaking out for the first time about the beach battle that's made national headlines and may go before the supreme court. vinod khosla says he is defending his right to control beachgoers passing through his private property in san mateo county. the dispute is over a gate that blocks the only road to martins beach south of h

the u.s. postal service has had a tough time with the meet with meeting revenues for many years that even drew the attention of president donald trump several months ago around at the end a year where he tweeted that why is the united states post office which is losing many billions of dollars a year while charging amazon and others so little to deliver their packages making amazon richer and the post office dumber and poorer should be charging much more the president certainly has reason to be concerned about the post offices spill situation the post office has been in the red and losing billions of dollars each year for the past decade the president's concern is noteworthy however if you read the annual report to congress the post office mail delivery actually is one of the few money makers that's not the problem that said now the post office trying to hand over another moneymaker that get this a scratch and sniff stamp or stamps many of us recall the scratch and sniff stickers that kids love back

in a statement the u.s. postal service says the package in question did not go through the postal service mail system. the fbi says so far a motive is not known. neither is what kind of device may have caused the explosion. >> we have hundreds of investigators of all disciplines working around the clock to get to the bottom of this matter. >> reporter: the fbi says it served search warrants at three properties in long beach, and the blast sent debris flying and damaged some nearby buildings. it also forced the vacation of nearby places including a preschool across the street. the area remains closed off as the investigation continues. authorities also say three people injured in the blast are recovering. one person suffered smoke inhalation. at least two of the customers suffered serious injuries. >> the clothing was ripped and she was a little bruised and you could see bleeding going on. >> the injured victims are recovering in a hospital. they're currently undergoing surgery and are expected to survive. >>> calif

. >> because the u.s. postal service does not operate fully as an independent entity. right? it's a queue quasi governmental institution governed by congress. one of the reasons it has the financial problems it has right now is because congress required to in 2006, to pay 75 years in advance on all retirement health -- imagine if someone came to you and said you have to take out of your paycheck 75 years worth of retiree health benefits up front, you would be homeless. so that's essentially what they did to the postal service. he could go to congress and say i think the postal service is giving amazon a pass. they should actually look at what they're charging for packages for third parties. that's not what he did. >> that's a great points. in some ways this has been happening in front of him. he calls amazon "the washington post" and he talks about the sweetheart deal which is not true actually. factually in terms of the cost. there's something about the secret meetings of lobbying the postmaster general that looks like he's trying to get away with something. >> when you're ta

amazon is not the reason the postal service is losing money. at they are benefitting from that deal. in addition the fact that the president thinks that the post master can unilaterally raise rates in these conditions shows he hasn't done research and doesn't know what he is talking about. >> how serious is it if this is because of politics or personal vendetta that the president may have against jeff bezos and wants to hurt his company which is now the second largest company in terms of market cap. would there be legal lines crossed? >> i don't know if there are necessarily legal lines. this isn't the first time he may have used power for his own benefit. we are in a society where our leaders are supposed to serve us and we entrust them with great power and are supposed to use that power solely for us. that is what kings do. we are not subjects. we are citizens. >> to help him you would have to follow the largic that somehow eating in amazon's profitability would hurt jeff bezos and the washington post because bezos owns the "washington post."

trump claims amazon's low shipping rates come at the expense of the postal service, but the post masteror up to a quarter of the revenue from a part of the postal service business that falls outside of delivering your daily mail. in the short version, the delivering your mail part is seeing its revenue slowly declining while the competitive products part like express mail and package delivery, the stuff amazon uses, is going up. so amazon is not what is hurting the post office. perhaps the real problem could be that in addition to amazon, jeff bezos also happens to own a certain publication that frequently gets under trump's skin by reporting accurate news about him that he likes to held his supporters is fake, namely the "washington post." joining me now to discuss, gabe sherman and tiffany cross. michelle bernard. and kurt bardella. thank you all for being here. so gabe, donald trump according to the "washington post," his friends, personally, personally pushed the postmaster general to double the rates on amazon. they have so far resisted trump's demand explaining that these arrangem

first of all if he wanted to do something that was legitimate, he could go to congress because the u.s. postals an independent entity. it's a quasi-governmental institution but it's governed by congress and one of the reasons it has the financial problems it has is because congress required it a to -- in 2006 to pay 75 years in advance on all retirement health benefits. imagine if someone came to you and said you have to take out of your paycheck 75 years worth of retiree health benefits up front. you would be homeless so that is what we did to the postal service. he could go to congress and say i think the postal service is giving amazon a pass, they should actually look at what they're charging for packages for third parties. that's not what he did. >> that's a great point, because in some ways this has been happening in front of us, he berates amazon, calls them the amazon "washington post" and talks about the sweetheart deal which is just not true actually, factually in terms of the cost. >> factually not true. >> but there's something about the secret meetings of lobbying the postmaster g

it also partered with the postal service for deliveries.he president last month he signed a executive order to review which cold lead to major changes for packaging deliveries. >> and is this going to drive up prices for consumers. >> absolutely. >> let's bring in stooe nelson. good so tee you once again. let's talk about president trump pushing the justice department to prove whether an fbi informant contacted members of his 2016 campaign for political purposes. what can we expect to hear not only from rod rosenstein but then also crust fer wray today. >> oezen stein quickly passed the buck to the inspector general's office. rosenstein said it's important to know if there was properly motivated political infill ration but reporting showed that there was not a spy within the trump campaign, that this professor who slyly met with three advisors to the trump campaign instead, suggested there could be even more informan informants. adam schiff has said this is made up messaging for trump supporters. i would imagine that the justice department

. >>> welcome back, the postal service lost $1.3 billion. e been a target of president trump. the post office is doing substantially better, but targeting amazon >> yeah. i think everybody including the postal service would like to be doing financially better right now. the losses did more than double last quarter, but if not for package deliveries, it might have been worse, so where it first class mail continues to fall and retiree costs balloon, pitch volumes and revenue grew again. on an earnings call this morning, the postmaster general called the package business vitally important to the agency of the financial health pointing out it provides critical funding to support infrastructure needed to maintain the postal service's mandate to deliver to all 650 million addresses in the u.s noting that the parcel business funded almost a quarter of institutional costs last year. while she did not directly address the recent criticism from president trump, arguing that amazon's taking advantage of the usps, she did call package pricing, quote, hyp
