perpetuaperpe perpetuate the boy's club in the studio. it's not good enough to assume i'm good. you need to practice being good. >> jelani cobb, jay smooth. that is "all in." "the rachel maddow stloe" starts now. good evening, rachel. good evening, chris. thanks to you at home for being with us this hour. something sort of amazing happened today during the president's press conference which he did from wales at the nato summit. it was an amazing thing about the press conference. didn't really have anything to do directly with the president, himself, but it was amazing. watch. >> so, with that, let me take a few questions. i'll start with julie pace of the "associated press." >> thank you, mr. president. i wanted to go back to the situation in ukraine. >> angela king. >> as you know, secretary kerry today. >> julie davis. >> is the goal to ultimately -- secretary kerry said there's no containing that. >> one last question. colleen. colleen nelson of "wall street journal." >> have the concerns of other

democrats influenced your thinking? >> notice anything? those were the four questions to the president at his formal press conference today in the uk. all four of them from women journalists. and i don't actually think it was on purpose. i think it just sort of worked out that way. that's cool. and while we're on the subject, quiz time. all right. who was the first moderator of "meet the press"? "meet the press," the longest running broadcast serious in es history of television. debuted in 1947 on nbc. before that it had been a radio show for a couple years. that's basically your hint to this quiz. the person who hosted "meet the press" as a radio show before it was ever on tv also was the first moderator of "meet the press" when it became a tv show. they brought that person over from radio to tv. who was the first moderator? the first moderator of "meet the press" was marcia roundtree.

it was a woman. and nobody remembers that now. but it was martha roundtree. she was a print journalist starting at the "tampa tribune" i believe. she did sports reporting under the biline m.j. rountree. in radio, she started a program called "leave it to the girls" which was basically, like discussing current events. she also in the same year 19d 45 founded a program on mercury radio called american mercury radio presents. "meet the press." martha rountree was the moderator and booked someone to face off against a panel of supporters, unscripted. it was a big success. two years into its radio run, nbc brought that program to tv and martha rountree held the reins for the first six years on tv after running it on the radio for two years before that.

"meet the press," the longest running show in the history of american television and, of course, an institution in american politics. and this weekend, the newest iteration of "meet the press" debuts. the new host is our own chuck todd. chuck has already announced plans to try to steer the show back to marctha rountree's original roots, a place where at least for some guests the newsmaker will face off against a panel of questioners from the media. they tell us to expect that that's the direction the show is going to go back toward. but this sunday for chuck's first show, his first debut hosting of "meet the press" chuck has a live one-on-one interview scheduled with president obama. and if there was ever a time to try to get this president into a deep conversation, a revealing conversation one-on-one, this is probably the time you'd like to do that. >> you can't contain an organization that is running roughshod through that much

territory causing that much havoc, displacing that many people, killing that in innocents, enslaving that many women. the goal has to be to dismantle them. what we can accomplish is to dismantle this network. we have to act as part of the international community to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. we are going to achieve our goal. we are going to degrade and ultimately defeat isil. the same way that we have gone after al qaeda. we have been very systemic and methodical in going after these kinds of organizations that may threaten u.s. personnel and the homeland. and that deliberation allows us to do it right. >> that deliberation allows us to do it right. and let's be honest, that deliberation also makes

everybody crazy in washington. so that's one thing going on right now. right? is as president obama is basically setting out to assemble the world, to assemble an international coalition involving basically all allied western countries and as many countries as possible in the middle east, a gulf war i style global coalition to fight against this sunni militant group. isis desperately wants itself to be at war with the united states. they want a one-on-one bilateral fight where they're the muslim side and america is the other side. they want america to be at war with them. instead of giving them what they want, president obama is instead basically pulling a pappi bush and colin powell a la gulf war i trying to organize the whole world to a unified action against isis as a universally reviled threat. that's a very tall order and one america politics probably will not have much patience for. if there is going to be a new

u.s.-led international coalition military effort to attack this group, isis, there really is going to have to be a congressional vote on it. in fact, there's going to have to be a congressional vote on keeping up the u.s. air strikes that have started already against isis in iraq. those air strikes legally have to stop at the end of the first week in october unless congress votes to authorize them. so these names you see on screen are all the members of congress who have said so far they support congress debating and voting on u.s. military action against isis. there are 88 members of the house, 6 members of the senate so far. the number has been going up every day. we've been keeping a whip count at our blog if you want to let us know whether your senator, member of congress, ought to be in our whip count. whether they're on board with a debate and vote on this military action. so, that's one thing that's going on, right? there's this very short fuse right now in washington on how quickly congress needs to get it together to stop just pounding

their chests about how terrible isis is and instead start considering what a real military strategy would look like against isis. and whether they want to vote for that military strategy. i mean, this is right now. congress is back as of next week after five weeks off. but once they come back, they've got to get that vote done. they've got to get that debate done and that vote done within the month, or the air strikes end and all the u.s. personnel come back, legally speaking. so getting congress to both do that and to do it quickly, that is not going to be pretty. also today, speaking of not going to be pretty, here's what president obama said today was going to be his homework on the plane ride home from wales. >> what i'm unequivocal about is that we need immigration reform, that my overriding preference is to see congress act. we had bipartisan action in the senate. the house republicans have sat on it for over a year.

that has damaged the economy. it has held america back. it is a mistake. and in the absence of congressional action, i intend to take action. i suspect that on my flight back, this will be part of my reading. taking a look at some of the specifics that we've looked at, and i'll be making an announcement soon. but i want to be very clear, my intention is in the absence of -- in the absence of action by congress, i'm going to do what i can do within the legal constraints of my office because it's the right thing to do for the country. all right? thank you very much, people of wales. i had a wonderful time. >> any minute now, within the hour, actually, the president is due to arrive back at the white house from wales. and according to him, what he said he's going to do on the plane by the time he lands, he will have read up on what he's going to do on immigration

without congress. president said earlier in the summer that he would make that announcement about immigration by the end of the summer. look around you. it's the end of the summer. so, whatever that gets announced, that's going to be like a bag of minx playing with pop rocks and he's leading a nato effort right now which is now repeatedly punching russian president vladimir putin in the kiddney over and over again. nato is doing a partnership with two more eastern european countries that vladimir putin likes to think he controls. the president announced today nato would be doing new partnerships with moldova and georgia. that's going to upset vladimir putin. oh, by the way, the national ebola outbreak. if that wasn't enough to gray his hair, as he left wales, a charter flight with americans on board leaving afghanistan trying to fly to dubai was basically forced down inside iran.

a plane full of americans ordered to land inside iran by iranian air traffic controllers. that's in today's news. aren't you glad you're not president? joining us now, andrea mitchell, nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent and host of "andrea mitchell reports" on mns. great to see you. thanks for joining us. >> good to see you. thank you, rachel. i'm always grateful not to be president. right now feels like a particular mess. >> me, too. >> let me ask you about that last point, specifically on this plane. it was -- it seems to have been a charter plane leaving bagram. leaving a u.s. air base in afghanistan, carrying roughly 100 americans. why did it have to land in iran, and how did this situation resolve tonight? >> well, this is actually the only good thing that happened, prarn perhaps, today, in that this was a mistake. it was basically a messup. this is a typical chartered flight. registered to dubai that comes from bagram and goes through iranian airspace as american flights don't, and was taking 100 americans, 140 people in

all, there were some canadians and others, they are contractors, and all sorts of contractors, of course, work at bagram, you know, in afghanistan and in iraq. we have thousands of contractors who are remaining security people, emven the people who do food and other services for the military. civilian contractors. they were coming out going to dubai and the flight was delayed for whatever reason, four or five hours. so the flight plan was no longer accurate, and the iranian air traffic controllers didn't recognize this flight and so it had to be worked out. and it was worked out peacefully and diplomatically and easily as it turned out. they weren't forced down as some initial reports said by fighter jets. the air traffic controllers just said, land here in southern iran. and work it out. they sent another plane in to get them out. they lifted off a couple of hours later. they're safely in dubai. it didn't become an international incident. it was worked out between the dubai charter company, and they didn't even to have bother the

american diplomats at the very highest level, the deputy secretary of state who is in geneva right now negotiating the stalled iranian nuclear deal with his iranian counterparts. they didn't get involved. >> wow. so while the iranian nuclear deal is being negotiated and the president is involved in all of these different international negotiations, basically we have the plot of a "three's company" episode unfolding around that plane. okay. that is the good news today. on the more complicated news today, then, there's this issue of the president and the military force he's using and wants to use against isis. the president tonight sent another notification to congress under the war powers resolution, more troops to iraq to protect the embassy in baghdad. what do we know about how the white house and congress are approaching this? are both sides expecting that congress is going to vote at some point? >> both sides are expecting that congress will vote the money. it's becoming more and more clear. i talked to bob menendez, chair of the senate foreign relations

committee today. he's called a hearing for september 16th with both kerry and also hagel coming to testify. after they do their middle east tour. which will start sometime early next week. and so he wants them to testify and hold hearings and have the foreign relations committee at least put something out there. he thinks there will be a debate on the floor. it may not be the formal debate authorizing the use of force that you and i have been wanting to hear. you've been calling for it and making the point in both previous iraq engagements and principally in desert storm, the first one under bush 41, there was a really important debate. it was on a saturday in the senate. it was one of the great debates. you had players on all sides in the democratic and republican parties, crossing partisan. it was basically those who felt it was the right thing to do. saddam hussein invaded kuwait. it was a different situation. we were not the initiator but coming at the request of those

who had been invaded. >> going to be fascinating to see how this plays out. we're expecting the president to be at odds with congress over the issue of immigration as he mentioned today. as far as you know, when the white house is approaching these issues about potential authorization for the use of force, at least potentially asking for money to do this stuff, all of these sensitive foreign affairs issues that they are handling now. do they factor in the sort of matrix of how well they're getting along with congress on domestic issues? because i'm imagining this immigration thing, if they make an announcement in the next couple of weeks, it really is going to be pretty nuclear in washington. >> well, in fact, i think what you heard from the president today is kind of a delaying process. what we are hearing from our reporting from people in the white house is they're going to hold off until after the election. they don't want to rock the boat right now for those democrats in red states except for colorado where there are tough races. all of the others, in arkansas, in louisiana, these are places that do not want a full-throated immigration debate before the

election. so with everything so tight right now, there doesn't seem to be any will to take on congress, to do things by executive action. to push that button before the midte midterms. >> we shall see. fascinating times. andrea mitchell, nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent. andrea hosts "andrea mitchell reports" every weekday which you should be watching every day. all right. much more ahead including one of the jurors in the bob mcdonnell corruption trial is going to join us next live. one more thing about president obama's trip to wales for the nato summit. this is in wales at the nato summit. prince charles hosting a reception for all the world leaders including the prince, himself, standing at the door greeting all the leaders one by one. they all make small talk and have long awkward handshakes. the president of slovakia did the awkward handshake with. angela merkel. waiting next in line to go meet the prince. her turn for the long awkward

handshake followed by small talk. yes, weather's great, how do you say wales in german? next in line, british prime minister next in line after angela merkel. david cameron comes in. right? they obviously already know each other. quick bow. they say hello. look what happen, look what happens when president obama gets there. one of these kids is not like the others. president obama arrives. look what happens. they burst into applause. look. it's him. it's him. i don't know why president obama got the round of applause for his handshake with prince charles. unlike all the rest of them today. but if barack obama does want to run for office again after he is no longer president, it sounds like wales would be happy to have him. all right. we'll be right back. waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day 50+.

pressed to find any corruption. i think maybe people think this was all fabricated. >> no, this is all too real, says this family friend. now focused on trying to bring comfort and support during a very dark time. >> it's unbelievable. compare it to christ. christ didn't do anything. and they went after him. >> yes. yes, they did go after christ. noted. noted sort of without comment. that's local coverage from the nbc station in washington, northern virginia, nbc 12. we set aside for the moment the issue of going after christ. i should also tell you that they do also go after and catch a member of congress or a governor about every two years now in our country. in the past decade, we've been on a pretty tight two-year schedule of locking up members of congress and/or governors every other year. we seem to like to do that in odd numbered years. so start, say, 2005.

it was john roland. the republican governor of connecticut. he resigned while being investigated for corruption. got convicted and sentenced to a year in prison. incidentally, john roland is out of prison but back in court on other corruption-related charges. also in 2005, corruption charges against duke cunningham, republican member of congress from california. he was sentenced to eight years in prison for bribery and corruption. in 2007, it was ohio republican congressman bob naye, first elected official convicted in the jack abramoff schedule, luxury vacations and fancy meals and sky box seats. bob ney sentenced to 30 minutes in prison. he actually got more than the prosecutors had asked for. the judge in the bobney case told him at the sentencing, "as a member of congress, you have the responsibility above all else to set an example and uphold the law." then the judge sentenced him to more than the prosecutors asked for. is what the prosecutors asked

for plus an extra three months. rear. then two years later, it was democratic congressman william jefferson of louisiana, he was 2009's poster boy. he was the guy with the cold hard cash. bundles of large denomination bills wrapped up in aluminum foil and stuffed into his freezer. sentenced in 2009 to 13 years in prison. one of the longer sentences in this cast of characters. but then two years later, it was rod blagojevich, the democratic governor of illinois, sentenced to an also impressive 14 years in prison after he was convicted on 17 corruption charges incl e including soliciting bribes to sell an appointment to barack obama's u.s. senate seat. then, every two years, two years later, this time 2013, back to illinois, for congressman jesse jackson jr. sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for redirecting his campaign funds to buy things like expensive michael jackson memorabilia. and those are the ones just off the top of my head. i mean, those are just the household name corruption and bribery convictions that resulted in members of congress

and governors going to prison. but those household name ones, it's interesting, they do for whatever reason seem to happen every two years. ' '05, '07, '09, 2011, 2013. we just found out in 2015, 6 days into 2015, right on schedule, we're due for another. they're going to be sentencing the next american governor to go to prison on multiple felony corruption charges. it's going to be bob mcdonnell of virginia. convicted along with his wife on 11 felony charges of corruption yesterday in richmond. and one thing i learned this week is the guidelines for sentencing in federal cases are publicly available. you can look at the sentencing guidelines yourself with the google. you can build your own federal sentencing guidelines matrix for your favorite federal convict. so in the case of bob mcdonnell, you go here to the united states sentencing commission guidelines manual. it's posted online. it's publicly available. just google it. you skip down to chapter 2, part

"c." that's offenses involving public officials. and then you at home can calculate what the offense level was and, therefore, how much time he might get offered for offering, giving, soliciting, receiving a bride, extortion, fraud involving the depravation for honest service, that's bob. that's level 14. bob mcdonnell is a public official. that's offense level 14. write that down. did the offense involve more than one bribe or extortion? if so, increase by two levels. okay. 14 plus 2. did the value of the payment or the benefit received exceed $5,000? it did. then it brings you to another table which gives you the range. yeah, he was more than $120,000, but less than $200,000. so add 10 to his offense level. if the offense level involves not just an elected official, but an official in a high level decision-making or sensitive position, governor counts for

that, right? then you add another four. so, then the rest of the stuff, it's like, about, sneaking people into the country and something like that. i'm not a lawyer, but i don't think he did that. so that's how you come up with the guidelines. you add up all those various levels of offense in the bob mcdonnell case, i'm not a lawyer, this is a layman's guess. i do 14 plus 2 plus 10 plus 4. carry the 1 and that means offense level of 30. put that on the sentencing table. that's the "y" there. the only other thing you need to figure out for the guidelines is bob mcdonnell's criminal history category. doesn't have any criminal history. that puts him at a zero there. that just means you got your matrix there. figure it out. it tells you what it is. according to the guidelines, that means bob mcdonnell is looking at 97 months to 121 months in prison. 97 months to 121 months in prison, divide by 12, there you go. that means he's looking at eight to ten years.

that's what the federal sentencing guidelines say. and these guidelines, i should say, are "a" interpreted by lawyers and judges and not by jerks like me on tv, "b," these federal sentencing guidelines are not binding. they don't have to sentence him to that. they're suggestions to the judge. that's the range and the federal sentencing guideline in his case and does give you some idea about what the government might ask for in terms of how long bob mcdonnell is going to go to prison. of course, it will be up to the judge to decide how long he goes for and the judge will look at those guidelines and will consider the severity of the case, will consider the overall judicial imperative of deterrence in a case like this. deterrence, when you're talking about this type of crime, public corruption by a high-level official, it's a small audience of americans who you are trying to deter from doing this. right? it's governors and members of congress and other people in high-level positions of public officialdom. right? who might be tempted to sell their power, to sell their office for ferrari rides and

rolexes. the judge has to decide in this case whether the length of the sentence has to be so draconian that it will make would-be corrupt politicians think of bob mcdonnell instead of just thinking of a payoff when they get offered the bribe in the future. or the judge could decide that, you know, the sentence length here isn't going to make the difference. he can afford to be merciful because the conviction of bob mcdonnell, itself, the conviction enough is a shock enough to the system in virginia that that, alone, will provide necessary deterrence. it's worth considering whether or not the conviction of bob mcdonnell has been a shock to the political system in virginia. there are some indications already in the days since the verdict that virginia is not all that shocked. at least not shocked into thinking they're doing anything wrong or they need to change anything. i'll give you an example. the top republican in the virginia state senate gave a statement to the "washington post" after the guilty verdicts were announced yesterday. here was his take on his state's governor being found guilty on all those corruption counts.

his name is thomas, the top republican in the virginia senate, he responded to the convictions this way. "bob mcdonnell served virginia with distinction." is there a but coming? nope. "bob mcdonnell served virginia with distinction. governor mcdonnell served virginia, an impressive record of accomplishments." he said this after the conviction, "ultimately the ordeal of this trial should not diminish that record." the trial did find him guilty of 11 felony counts of corruption. that shouldn't affect how we see the record that he accumulated while also doing 11 felonious -- apparently that is still considered a distinguished record and serving with honor if you ask the top republican in the virginia state senate. amazing. how hard will the judge in the bob mcdonnell case come down on governor mcdonnell? and in a not unrelated question, how hard was it to convict him?

how hards of a time did the jurors have in coming up with this devastating list of 11 verdicts for this virginia governor? one of those jurors joins us live, next. don't just dream of being the hero. make it happen. i can't believe we're missing the game for this. we're not-- i've got xlte. it doubles our 4g lte bandwidth in cities nationwide, so be that guy with verizon xlte. now get 1gb of bonus data, and our best pricing ever on the more everything plan. if energy could come from anything?. or if power could go anywhere? or if light could seek out the dark? what would happen if that happens?

is scheduled for january. after they were convicted yesterday in federal court in richmond. joining us now for the interview, kathleen carmody, she was one of the 12 jurors in this trial. miss carmody, thank you very much for being willing to talk to us tonight. i really appreciate your time. >> certainly. good evening. >> good evening. this was a long trial. weeks of testimony. more than 60 witnesses. the governor, himself, testified for more than 20 hours. can you just describe for those of us who have never done anything like this, describe the experience overall and how much -- how difficult it was for you, how much work it was? >> it was very difficult. there was a lot of information provided. testimony. exhibits and actual items as well. over the course of those five weeks. it was a lot to take in and a lot to digest, really, and all the information coming at us. >> in terms of the judge and his facilitating your being able to come to a verdict, a lot was

made about how long those jury instructions were. something like 89 or 90 different jury struinstructionsr a period of a couple hours, took a break in the middle of instructing you. was that essentially a clarifying point in the process for you? getting those instructions about how to consider the evidence, how to sort out all the different things you'd been presented? >> yes. yes. it was. and i thought they were very clear. >> okay. how -- how did you assess the importance of the defense saying in essence that the mcdonnells' marriage was bad and that was very legally -- very legally relevant? i mean, we're all -- none of us can tell what their marriage is like from the outside. i've always believed that you can only tell what a marriage is like if you're in. but did you believe that case from the defense? did it matter to your assessments about guilt and innocence? >> i -- i heard it and i did not doubt that there was strain in

the marriage and stress and that mrs. mcdonnell was having a difficult time adjusting as first lady of virginia. however, they remained under the same roof during all this time, up until the time of the trial. they were under the same roof. they vacationed together. we saw evidence of text messages, phone messages. it just -- i don't doubt that there was some strain, but it did not, to me, come across as being as broken as portrayed. >> the importance of them communicating throughout this time, having contact living under the same roof, it meant legally they could have conspired or communicated about these criminal acts? >> well, there certainly could have been opportunity. >> yeah. why didn't you convict on the relatively simple charges, lying to the banks? when i looked at these charges just as a lay man, somebody not on the jury, that part, at least, seems pretty clear, they

didn't tell the truth to the banks. why are those charges ones on which they were acquitted? >> well, we looked at every one of the 26 charges and presumed innocence and went through all the evidence one by one to see if there was something that it could be disproved. those were the two that we could not find evidence to support. and that's why they were not guilty on those bank statements. >> one last question for you. and it's, again, about this issue of i guess the style of the defense but also the fact this was a joint trial. did you want to hear from mrs. mcdonnell? do you think that would have been helpful either to your understanding of the totality of the case or to one side or the other? >> it -- i don't think it would have swayed me one way or the other. maybe it would have been of, you know, certainly of interest to hear her perspective, but it certainly for me would not have swayed me one way or the other.

there was sufficient testimony and evidence provided already. >> kathleen carmody, serving on a jury is always a solemn experience. people worry about how tough it would be. this seems like it was absolutely grueling. thank you for doing your civic duty and talking to us about what it was like. i really appreciate it. >> you're welcome. thank you. all right. we have lots more ahead tonight at the end of this very, very busy news week. we'll be right back. stay with us. whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts who work with portfolio management experts

♪ mattress discounters the nba playoffs this year were particularly good. in the end, it was the san antonio spurs from the west and the miami heat from the east. it was the spurs who won the whole enchilada this year in the nba, but there were a lot of good games throughout the whole play wrau playoffs including one truly excellent nail biter of a game between the oklahoma thunder and memphis grizzlies. the two teams played a total of seven games in the series. this was game five. and it really, really went down to the wire. the thunder was hosting. the game was on their home court in oklahoma city. in the end, it came down to a one-point game. the grizzlies won by a score of 10 100-9 100-99. the thunder would have won the whole thing at the last fraction of the second if their very last shot at the buzzer which went in, if that shot had been ruled

eligible, they would have won, but that last-second shot was ruled not eligible so the grizzlies won. just a thrilling game. would have been great to be there. if you are an oklahoma thunder fan and had a chance to be there at that home court game, there's probably nothing that could have kept you home from that, right? that was true at least for oklahoma's governor. mary fallon. because that's where she was that night. she was there at game five. a week before, the state supreme court in oklahoma had issued a stay of execution for an oklahoma prisoner, but the governor thought the supreme courts was wrong to to that, she thought the state should go ahead and kill the prisoner anyway so he issued an executive order defying the supreme court and scheduling that man's execution for april 29th. night of the thunder/grizzlies game she was planning to go to. also same night that another execution was already planned in execution -- in oklahoma. excuse me. that executive order from oklahoma's governor, set up

oklahoma to kill two men in one night. a back-to-back execution for the first time in 77 years. they also planned to do the execution with an experimental drug combination that they had never used before in the state. and then their usual doctor, the doctor who usually does all the lethal injections in oklahoma, he backed out of doing the executions that night. he backed out two days before. so, overruling the supreme court to make the execution go forward, making it a double for the first time in 77 years, using a new drug and losing the doctor. heading into that on the night of april 29th, governor mary fallon went to the basketball game then the killing of the first of the two prisoners that night went very, very wrong. they said he was unconscious but he came back during the process. he spoke. he writhed. he gasped. they pulled the curtain. they say they considered trying to revive him.

they thought about trying to call an ambulance in the middle of the execution to take him to a hospital since he wasn't dying and they didn't have any plan to bring him back. ultimately, they never did bring him back. and they never re-opened the curtain to the witnesses who were supposed to be watching him die. and they said he eventually just died of a massive heart attack. we now know governor mary fallon of oklahoma was at the basketball game on the phone with the prison while they couldn't get him to die and while they couldn't get him unconscious, either. we now know on the phone from the nba playoffs, mary fallon was about to order a stay of execution but he finally died while they were on the phone while she was at the game and decided maybe not to try to kill the other prisoner who was waiting for his turn that night and the game went on. now oklahoma has released their own internal review into how they did that night at the state prison. >> the execution has widely been

described as botched. was it a botched execution? >> you know, different people have different perspectives. and how you described this execution is how you describe it. >> where was governor fallin when the call was made to her autopsy that only one vein was viable, and who made the final call to proceed once that was clear? >> you know where the governor was at, captain? >> i'm not certain exactly where she was. >> i don't know where the governor was physically located at. >> the governor was a the chesapeake energy arena in oklahoma city, in fact, watching basketball. the night she was overseeing her state killing two prisoners on her orders. now that they've reviewed their own actions, are they going to start right back up again the same way day were going before? joining us, an investigative reporter and the enterprise reporter for the "tulsa world" newspaper, one of 12 media witnesses to attend the

execution of clayton lockett. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> how did you find out governor fallin had been at the basketball game on the night the two were scheduled because of her order? >> we heard this actually yesterday from sources that we have who didn't want to be identified and she was asked during her press conference directly where she was and she said at an event downtown and she was asked were you at a thunder game? she said yes, i was at an event downtown. so we followed up and they confirmed she was at the thunder game. >> one of the issues in this execution was the attempted and somewhat failed injection of the supposedly lethal drug combination into the groin of this prisoner. what is the state now explaining what went wrong there and how it went so wrong? >> the report that the state released yesterday said that they made roughly 12 attempts to

start an iv in various areas of the inmate's body, however, it was improperly inserted. the doctor didn't have the right-sized needle. he asked for longer needles, was told the prison didn't have any. the paramedic didn't have any tape to tape down one of the iv attempts. so there was missing medical equipment, and they decided to go forward any way. there was also no ultrasound machine on hand which would have helped this process, as well. >> overall, with those kinds of bassingic errors, you heard the the state official there tried to answer questions about whether this was botched. do you expect that they are going to have changed very much at all before they try again? i understand they've got the next one of these scheduled for november 13th. >> they do. they haven't said whether they're going to be ready on

november 13th. there's a lot of unanswered questions. we don't know whether they're going to use this drug which hasn't worked very well. there's a lot of changes they need to make, including having life-saving equipment in case the execution is stopped. so it will be interesting. but they haven't said what they're going to change. >> remember again this was also the execution that sparked a doj investigation into death penalty means around the country. thank you very much for helping us understand this tonight. i appreciate it. >> thush, rachel. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains. that's why i recommend polident.

[ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. ♪ she can print amazing things, right from her computer. [ whirring ] [ train whistle blows ] she makes trains that are friends with trees. ♪ my mom works at ge. ♪ you know you care. pro football is back. last night the nfl season got under way. seahawks hosted the packers.

seattle dominated 36-16. they looked every inch like the defending super bowl champs they are. last year they hosted the lombardi trophy for the first time. the super bowl trophy is named for vince lombardi, the green bay coach who is a football icon and american icon. vince lombardi was a man who said things like, winning is not a sometimes thing, it is an all the time thing. you do not do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. he also said, the harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. he had hundreds of those. if vince lombardi fails to inspire you, it's probably your problem. and because he is vince lombardi the hero, every year, every player in the national football league chases a trophy named lombardi. that includes as of this week a player named michael sam who was cut by the st. louis rams who drafted him back in april in the 7th round.

he was cut by st. louis, but the university of missouri defensive end, s.e.c. co-defensive player of the year, he got signed by somebody else, he got picked up by the dallas cowboys. dallas has what could politely be called defense issues this year. they could really use mr. sam's pass rushing ability. they need defense, they picked him up. that said, he's michael sam. you may also know him in this context. >> i'm not afraid to tell the world who i am. i'm michael sam. i'm a college graduate. i'm african-american. and i'm gay. >> since that announcement, michael sam and will the league accept an openly gay player, that's become a freakout beyond anything anyone could have imagined. and yet second guessing his talents and speculation about his showering habits, really,

seriously? michael sam went to work, had a solid preseason, sacked johnny manziel. the sky didn't fall. now he gets to play football in texas. vince lombardi, whose trophy everybody was chasing, is from a different era. but he might have made a great coach. in a biography of lombardi, the story is told of a running back named roy mcdonald who, in 1968, was arrested for a public sexual encounter with another man. >> coach lombardi could have none of it, and one of the reasons was, his own brother was

also gay. vince did know that herald was gay. he ag norred catholic teaching against homosexuality and considered gays another group deserving respect like blacks and italians, american indians. in later years, he would have players that were gay and would quietly root for them. players like michael sam, right? vince lombardi died in 1970. 44 years later an openly gay player is making a living playing a game they both loved. winning is not a sometimes thing. in honor of coach lombardi and michael sam, your simple cocktail moment this weekend, i make a bastardized version of this, because i believe in deliciousness over purity when it comes to cocktails that have beer in them.

you want a delicious mexican beer, juice of one good lime. you want a couple teaspoons of a nice hot sauce, i recommend something like a chilula. two teaspoons of the magic ingredient here, which is called magi, which i don't freaking know what it is. you want equal parts of that and hot sauce and black pepper. and if you're really, really not watching your sodium intake, you should also salt the glass before you start the whole thing. my doctor won't let me do that anymore. so salt your glass. happy nfl season starting. congratulations. take care.
