also an msnbc contributor. gabe, let me start with you. you've been following this story quickly. surprised? >> no, sadly. this fits the pattern of the allegations we learned about days ago in "the new york times" expose. what's so stunning about the "new yorker" piece and audio recording, especially, it fits with all my reporting last year on roger ailes about this predator type personality of how they try to lure women into sexual encounters that the power dynamic is completely out of proportion and hear in the audio the way harvey keeps pressing and she's resisting and he's pressing. that to me was striking just to hear the doom tecument tear evi of how the encounters happened. that's what i found not surprising but chilling to listen to. >> there's a tape out there, danny. what does that tell you, that this was part of some sort of nypd sting? >> a tape made in a state where it was one party, as long as she conse consented, it was legal, this is really damning evidence. if it's accompanied with testimony th

opinion writer for the "washington post" and msnbc contributor. good to see you. howard i'll hold you for a second. jonathan, the working thesis we have right now is in the absence of legislation donald trump is on a mission to unravel anything barack obama touched. talk about the top ten states which have the percentage of the marketplace enrollees with the csr, the cost-sharing revenue. look at where they are. mostly in the southeast. mississippi has 78. alabama, 76. florida, 74. south carolina, 73. georgia. 67. north carolina, utah, louisiana. look at that. massachusetts is in there. massachusetts is the only state with that high level of marketplace enrollees that didn't vote for trump. so what's the working thesis here? because by doing what he did today, he hurts his base. >> yeah. i am mystified by -- by what he is doing. look, the republicans, ever since the affordable care act was passed, have been voting -- have been promising fellow republicans, republican voters, that they are going to repeal and replace obamacare. then it was repeal obamacare, that th

and jonathan dkaypart, msnbc contributor. this is your story about trying to protect mcconnell and others of course in his orbit from steve bannon's primaries. >> what happened in alabama in that race for senator luther strange has been a wake-up call to the republican establishment. behind the scenes, they're really thinking hard about how do you go after bannon, how do you protect incumbents? and part of that process is targeting bannon personally, bringing up controversial element chs his pas of his past sure candidates know if they're going to embrace him, they're going to make him toxic. >> jonathan swan, what are the implications in terms of how the party's divided, how they reacted even after the senate lunches? >> well, i thought one of the shrewdist qo isist quotes was m used to work for jeb bush that said there's a war for the soul of the republican party but the only one fighting is bannon. we're now seeing the first signs there's willing to be some real pushback. you asked what are the consequences of this. there'

but saturday mornings i'm here on msnbc. each week i ask my panelives of young journalists who is the most important person in the news not named trump. annie linskey, you're first. who is it? >> i would say steve ban were nonis the most important person not named trump. the reason is because of the efforts he is making to locate primary candidates for republican senators. the reason i picked bannon is i was so struck during president trump's press conference this week. he was asked about primary. he said, well, i'm going to talk to bannon and see if we can talk him out of a few of those. that comment to me, it stuck with me all week. it resonates about the power that bannon has. it is is hard to imagine barack obama saying, oh, hey, i'm going to try to talk axelrod out of something. it would be pretty obvious he would be able to do it. and talking to some of the bannon to them, they said it's a signal to them that the president is not saying he doesn't want to see his primaries. >> it is not a surprise to me after that comm

for her part, you saw congresswoman wilson here on msnbc on "a.m. joy" earlier today, calling chief of staff john kelly, a former four-star general, a puppet of the president, trying to divert attention from what she sees as president trump's failures in nine months in office. and in response to a lot of these slings and arrows, calling her wacky, calling her an empty barrel as the chief of staff here in the west wing, john kelly, did in that controversial press conference, she says this is simply character assassination. thomas? >> mike viqueira reporting at the white house for us. thank you, mike. i appreciate it. joining us right now is "associated press" white house reporter katherine lucy, national political reporter for nbc news digital, jonathan allen, and msnbc political contributor, morgan state university professor and politics editor at theroot.com, jason johnson. great to have you all here. jonathan, let me start out of the gate with you. as you hear congresswoman wilson say that kelly needs to apologize, you also have several newspapers

soerktsed press and msnbc political analyst. gene it struck me watching those remarks how much more comfortable and how much more adept the president was in consoling this community as he seemed to be yesterday. >> entirely different approach. he was -- today he's being empathetic. he is feeling the suffering along with the community versus yesterday, when he sort of said, you know, the death toll in the caribbean is 34 or something like that. and he said, gee, that was nothing compared to a real disaster. a real catastrophe. and he didn't show that sort of empathy. it was more fun and games almost yesterday which was totally inappropriate. >> george will said on this show that he hadn't yet shown an aptitude for the pastoral aspects of the presidency. to the degree he achieved that on that telefrompter speech, i wonder if that may be one of the variables between what we saw off script yesterday and what we saw just now. really a beautifully crafted set of remarks there in las vegas. >> the first thing i noticed was him reading

let's bring in msnbc legal analyst katie fang and jo walsh, an msnbc political analyst. let's start with bill o'reilly. you have "the new york times" report that says a legal analyst at the network complained for a long time about, quote, repeated harassment, nonconsensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography and other sexually explicit material. o'reil o'reilly's spokesperson said, once again, "the new york times" has maliciously smeared bill o'reilly, this time even failing to print a sworn affidavit from his former lawyer, lis wiehl. they ignored that evidence, sworn under oath, and chos to rely on unsunday substantiated allegations of anonymous leaked or stolen documents. why a large settlement, $32 million, if as o'reilly complained, it never happened? >> because it happened. because the affidavit that was executed as a condition of the $32 million settlement, does not state that what the draft complaint alleged against o'reilly is false. and what happens, chris, is that the settlement term sheet -- normally settlements are to remain confidential.

but saturday mornings i'm here on msnbc. joining me now is captain jerry hendrix of the united states navy, retired. and at the center for new american security. and ana maria cox. most weekends with the "new york times". podcast host as well of "with friends like these." you heard the secretary. has donald trump kept his promise or has he broken it? >> the jury is still out on that. the secretary is committed to this. there seems to be a plan. i was pleased with what he said of trying to ramp up production of new ships. but looking at some of the innovative approaches, for instance, bringing the perry class out of inactive research or service life extension programs for older ships where we need to are taeupb the capabilitie capabilities. i heard his response with regard to the statement by the accounting undersecretary two days ago about the fact that this is going to take a long time. that is the example of the long-term career approach to this, which is a 30-year plan rather than getting on it of the box and going with s

yamisa political reporter for the times and msnbc contributor. lots to get here. let me begin with you, paula, if i may, and let's talk a little from the way you've read this investigation playing out so far the past several months since may. what do you think we can expect tomorrow in terms of who might be indicted and why they might be indicted at this stage of the investigation? >> so, with paul manafort, the president's campaign advisor, michael flynn, his quickly deposed national security advisor, the question has always been when, not if they are going to be indicted. so, they're the most likely targets. >> what makes you saw that i? >> they have the most exposure in terms of stuff that they've done that seems fishy. some of this doesn't seem related to collusion. it's real estate transactions, not being honest about their dealings with the russians. but if the charges seem minor tomorrow, make no mistake, this investigation is focused on the trump campaign's collusion with russia and obstruction of justice. so, if there is indictment of these guys tomorrow

>> no. >> is somebody in msnbc. >> no. >> the mra going to make that decision? >> there are a lot of folks in this country would like lawmakers to make that decision or have the conversation. >> and make sure it's approved by the court system. >> if elected you will be one of the law makers that goes to washington, d.c., and does something about gun control. >> i will go there and try to find whatever is best solution we can, gun control, whatever otherwise to minimize these type of activities within the framework over constitution. >> good to see you. >> thanks so much. >> i was a big fan of your dad's. >> thank you. >>> nbc's jolene kent standing by at one of the blood centers, the united blood center here in vegas and jo, a short time ago we checked in with you, a huge outpouring of donations, i imagine that is still very much the case? >> yeah. the line here is still about three, three and a half hours long. you can see it goes all the way down here. i want to tell you the tents were not here yesterday and someone very kind, company put up the tents to shiel

>> reporter: from the witnesses we heard, talking on camera to msnbc and nbc reporters, watching them talk about what they heard and saw and to video posted on msnbc and various national media sites, you can hear the submarine gun fire, and say it could be, it might be -- no, it absolutely is submarine gun fire. and you're reporting around the world, you've heard it clearly. when you listen to the clips, there will be no doubt in your mind, the trigger is held down, and the rounds empty out. it sounded to me like there was four -- could be five, maybe three to five magazines, 30 rounds each. there's a delay in between the magazines. that's when the people get up and try to run. when they don't hear the shooting. it's likely the shooter is changing magazines. joe fryer is in mandalay bay, and he has a great vantage point. another scene, if the shooter was shooting from an elevated position and did not have access to the roofs, that means they were shooting through a window. hotels generally don't have windows you can open. the window would have to be cut off or broke r broken in a smal
