7:00 am
week within two months. that's up from the current 1,000 new cases a week. that's with the 70% mortality rate. overnight we learned a 56-year-old u.n. medic from sudan died in a hospital in germany after testing positive for ebola two weeks ago. back here at home, new details about the first person-to-person transmission in the u.s. 26-year-old nina pham is being treated at texas health presbyterian hospital in dallas. last night she got a blood transfusion from dr. kent brand brantly. outside of dallas ebola jitters remain high. in kansas city, kansas a man who recently traveled to west africa is in isolation after admitting himself to the hospital with flu-like symptoms. the boston area has seen its second ebola scare in as many days. this is something you never want to see in an airplane or
7:01 am
anywhere else. a team in protective suits boarding a flight at logan airport after five passengers displayed flu-like symptoms. once again false alarm. same thing in bell view hospital in new york city two patients were released after it was determined they did not have ebola. in louisiana a judge blocked incinerated items from thomas duncan to be disposed in alandf. ronan, you were speaking to some people who got an update from pham's mother. >> she's doing well. she feels very, you know, supported now. she knows that everybody is praying for her and to be with her.
7:02 am
especially in the difficult time. >> how is nina doing this morning. what can you tell us ability the community? >> that's right, jose. she has received the blood transfusion from dr. kent brantly. she's in stable condition and that she's apparently been, according to members of the community you mentioned, facetiming with her mother saying she's feeling relatively well. we're keeping an eye on. that as you mentioned, there's been an incredible outpouring of love and support from the community. about 30 minutes from here is a community she grew up. predominantly vietnamese-american. i spoke to family friends and the pastor of the church you mentioned. everybody there, jose, mentioned it was a young woman incredibly committed to giving and caring for others. she had weeks prior to the incident received her critical care certification. she wanted to help others.
7:03 am
and the father of the church told me that even in the face of objection from her family, even when her mother told her to stop working on the risky case she decided to carry forward with it. everybody said she was incredibly responsible and she knew the risks. >> and ronan, i know one of the issues she has a beloved dog. that dog is not going to be put down. >> that's right. obviously there is that troubling they felt it was necessary to put down the dog of one of the ebola patients there. that is because there's only been one experimental study which was inconclusive whether it can be transmitted to dogs. whether dogs can be a vector to others. they're committed to taking care of the dogs. they're committed to see it reunited with nina. the county tweeted a picture of the facility he's being held out. a lovely ranch-style house. they say the dog is being taken care of and the cdc and a vet
7:04 am
will be keeping tabs on it. >> msnbc ronan farrow, thank you so much. appreciate it, my friend. let's bring in congressman michael burr republican from texas whose district is just outside dallas. he was a practicing obgyn. thank you for being with me. >> good morning. >> your district is not far from the ebola cases in dallas. what are you hearing from your constituents? ? >> of course a great deal of concern. you know, presbyterian hospital is important to me. i was on the courtesy staff when i practiced just up the road. my son was born there. it is an important institution. of course, all of us are just so struck by the young woman who was so selflessly providing care for the patient. i have to tell you, just under
7:05 am
50 people that were already being monitored because of the personal contact with mr. duncan, the first patient, now you probably have double that number of people who were involved in the care of the patient. and the concern that they, too, could face some difficulties. so it's, you know, i'll say one thing. the two or three weeks where the story has been top of everyone's mind i think you learn a lot of humility in dealing with a virus like this. >> look, you know, when we see the young lady all reports that she's so caring. she's really knew that she wanted to make a difference. this is her way of serving the community. and i'm wondering what do you think happened? you know, it seems as though the hospital was quite aware that initially there was stumbling going on as far as when the patient came in and they sent him home. what could have happened here? >> well, you know, this goes back the middle of the summer. i was talking with the cdc about this illness. because i was concerned about
7:06 am
the reports we were hearing out of western africa. the fact the fatality rates were 50 to 60% of the people that were infected but what struck me more is that 10 or 15% of the fatalities were health care workers. people who were on the front linestaking care of people who were sick. clearly it's a vulnerability. except for the group of doctors without borders. because of what has been reported to me, they almost have a ritualistic, militaristic way which they prepare and degown or deisolate themselves after taking care of a patient. there was a lot to be learned there. apparently we're having to relearn some of that stuff on the ground here in dallas. so that's unfortunate. i'll tell you something else, jose, i get some criticism for saying this. if you're a researcher and you want to study ebola there's only four places in the united states you can go to actually work on
7:07 am
the virus. there are four hospitals that are really set up in this country to deal with this level of isolation and this level of scrutiny. i'm not saying that every hospital shouldn't be prepared to diagnose, stabilize, and prepare for transport those patients to the facilities that have already evidenced special expertise in taking care of these patients. >> and which are those four? >> well, emery, obviously in atlanta. the omaha has a hospital, national institute of health. and montana also has a facility. >> all right. and i want your thoughts on this issue. kbroouns we have thousands of troops heading over there. many are already to deal with this in africa. congress authorized three quarters of a billion dollar to the relief effort there. what can be done to keep those troops safe going into the heart of the ebola zone >>well, in my understanding,
7:08 am
jo jose, and i'm not sure i'm completely up to date on this. they are there to provide the building of clinics. they're not there to provide the clinical care of patients. if that is changed, then that's new information of which i'm not aware. as far as direct patient contact for right now my belief is does not happen. what is underpinning this there's a vaccine that just entered clinical trials the first of september. obviously a lot of hope on that. the vaccine showed a lot of proch promise in nonhuman primates. apparently there haven't been any reactions. the quicker that can get out there to people on the front lines that provide protection i think that is going to be an important step in this. i know, the people are being careful. they want to be sure that the vaccine is safe and effective.
7:09 am
it's no ordinary time. business as usual is probably not the order of the day. >> and, congressman, speaking of the military. i want your quick thoughts on fight with sigh mis-- isis. they apparently keep advancing. is it time for a shift in strategy? >> you know, this is difficult because the ability to get timely updates in a classified setting was not great before we left and it's been virtually impossible now. i'm grateful. i'm grateful they're having the discussions. my understanding is from listening to your reports leading into it. it's not a decision making session. i don't know maybe it's time for some decisions. nevertheless, i'm glad they're evolving themselves and i'm glad they're talking about it. but it may be time for some decisions here as well.
7:10 am
>> would you support u.s. further involvement in iraq maybe in syria? here is the difficulty. when i asked for information in a classified setting before we left at the end of september before the vote was taken on whether or not to train members of the free syrian army, i couldn't get it. it was not provided to me. obviously members of congress are scattered it becomes even more difficult. i would like for someone to share with me. that would be a pretty big decision, that would be a pretty big vote. certainly we learned 10 to 12 years ago you need to have the information before you take the vote. would i be willing to go back and vote? absolutely. i think congress should be there. it's one of the things we should be doing. >> congressman, thank you so much for being with me. this morning 23 million
7:11 am
people in the southeast are at risk of facing severe weather. this is the same line of storms that killed at least two people in arkansas and alabama. high winds, heavy rains, and tornados left people in the dark. nbc meteorologist bill karins is tracking the storm. good morning. >> almost all of the southeast is at risk. but especially watching the carolinas. yesterday you showed the pictures just now. 13 tornados for october. that's a big deal. that's more like a springtime outbreak. we get them in the fall maybe one or two of them. in is a two day event. you see the severe weather yesterday was louisiana, tennessee, kentucky, illinois. today we're pushing further east. the storm system slides to the east. we have a tornado watch including the charlotte area, greenville, almost all the way down to savannah and charleston. we'll watch the line of storms redeveloping. anyone in the yellow is at threat of the riff. you mentioned the 23 million people. wind damage will be a big
7:12 am
problem, too. downing of trees and a lot of power outages along with it. we could get a few isolated tornados, again, if they happen we're talking about south carolina and central north carolina. >> take a look at this picture of sunny puerto rico. it's good to visit any time of the year. there's nothing. they dodged a bullet! and bermuda doesn't look so happy or so lucky, at least. >> no. i think people are already changing their plans for friday night into saturday in bermuda. cruise lines are probably looking at getting people out of there and adjusting their schedules. here is where the storm is. it's north of puerto rico. it's not an ordinary storm. it's most likely the strongest storm we'll have this hurricane season. should be a category four tomorrow afternoon. 140 miles per hour winds. that's nothing to sneeze at. that's no joke. by the time we get to friday it takes that turn and looks like it's heading near bermuda.
7:13 am
we show the spaghetti plots and all of our computer models take it somewhere near bermuda. that's the area of concern. they have about three days to prepare. stay with us. we'll take you live to atlanta, which is already had one tornado warning this morning. coming up, we'll have an update on moral monday in ferguson. dozen of arrests in one guest on the broadcast called a brand new awakening there. i want to share with you one powerful moment from the protests that should not be missed. later, also, take a look at the pictures in mexico. a government building on fire. protesters calling for the safe return of 43 students that have been missing now for three weeks. the details in seconds. (scraping sound) what are you doing? the dishes are clean. i just gotta scrape the rest of the food off them.

7:17 am
president obama and his top military commanders will meet with defense officials for more than 20 countries this afternoon. all of them allies in the fight to stop isis. administration officials say the meeting will focus on military strategy and how to bolster the campaign to counter terrorists. it comes as isis makes gains in iraq seizing another iraqi army base in western iraq yesterday. the third base to fall in three weeks. according to iraqi officials, the departure of a tactical withdrawal. let's get to pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski. >> according to the u.s. military and administration officials, this is not a decisional meeting of any kind. they're going discuss the tactics and overall strategy. but i can tell you that this is
7:18 am
pretty much a. talk. pep talk. president obama will show up just outside of washington, d.c., to sit down and talk to the military leaders of 21 countries including the british, the french, the australians, and almost all of the arab allies that signed on the air strike campaign. but what they're really looking for here is a stronger commitment. a stronger long-term commitment from any -- all of these coalition neighbors. and what they're discovery much to their, you know, their disconcerting about the fact what they've discovered as out an bar province has been jefr run by the isis fighters even during the u.s. and coalition air strike campaign that the iraqi military is less capable than they have first amendme
7:19 am
anticipated. you have sunnis fighting for a shia lead government. they aren't committed. most of the allies in the arab world aren't nearly as committed as isis is to establishing and holding that caliphate. that's one of the big concerns. without that commitment officials see it difficult to make any kind of progress whether it's air strikes or coalition boots on the ground. >> jim, and just in the introto you i was saying iraq calls the falling of the base it was strategic. you mean they ran like little girls. >> they were overrun. the fact of the matter is the iraqi forces in the anbar province are not nearly as capable. they don't have the logistic support and the like. when they were overwhelmed by the isis forces they had apparently no choice but to withdrawal. and, you know, the absolute
7:20 am
critical element to any kind of tactical or strategic victory over isis is ground forces. since the u.s. has ruled out american ground forces it has to come from the iraqis. it has to come from the arab allies and to get that kind of commitment or even capability is going to take years, jose. >> northboubc's jim micklaszewm >> thank you, mia, for being with us. let's talk about the president's current strategy when you look at the gains isis has made and the type of enemy they are what can be done to stop the people? >> i think jim miklaszewski is right. we need boots on the ground. air power alone can't win a war. the boots have to be from the regional actors who have very much to risk but also if the next base falls which is assad base, we're in trouble because
7:21 am
they've got a lot of advanced weaponry right there. >> i'm wondering you know what is it going to take for the people on the ground to actually defend themselves and fight for their areas. this is right now not as much the american's responsibility as it is the people there to deal with something that continues to grow. >> you're 100% right. part of the problem is that isis has been able to appeal to iraqis of sunni background who have felt dispossessed by the maliki government. they have local actors. but they are getting into bed with isis because isis is winning. nothing succeeds like success. >> authorities in the u.k. arrested six people on the suspicious of terrorist acts. they include three women. it's an area of expertise for you. tell us why some women want to
7:22 am
help isis while isis targets so many women with rape and murder. >> it's something i've been working for ten years. i look at the way women are reused d -- used to recruit others. these women are between 23 and 48. we're getting a fairly significant range. women have been used not just by isis but previously by al qaeda to recruit. it's one of the ways that these islamist groups are able to use gender to their advantage. the women will say things like if you are a real man you would step up and join the cause. the women are not looking at the rape of yezidi women or shia women having anything to do with sunni women. they're seeing isis in a positive light. they're portraying them in a light to attract other young women, especially teen girls who are being married off as rewards to the fight piers. >> what a horrible situation.
7:23 am
while some in the iraqi army run away or don't really fight. you have, in some cases, women who are fighting against isis. >> you have, i think one of the lead pilots for the uae are women. and women on the side of the peshmerga fighting on the side of the kurds. coming up we'll go to georgia where already tornado sirens have sounlded today. tens of millions of americans could see some severe weather today. this is the same storm system that killed two people on monday including an elderly woman in alabama. the i tried everything i could to get her out. but there was a tree on top of her. i'm new ensure active clear protein drink. clear huh? my nutritional standards are high. i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got 8 grams of protein. twist my lid! that's three times more than me. 17 vitamins and minerals.

7:26 am
you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it. "depreciation" they claim. "how can my car depreciate before it's first oil change?" you ask. maybe the better question is, why do you have that insurance company? with liberty mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. we go to ferguson, missouri where 49 were arrested yesterday
7:27 am
for part of civil disobedience. also, called for an end of police violence against young black men across the country. it's one way ferguson remains in the american psyche. this is another. a pointed moment where a woman prayed for a police officer for several minutes during a protest at the ferguson police department. a woman so powerful that the police officer was nearly moved to tears several times. >> that god loves you. >> yes. join us in this prayer. [ inaudible ] '02 a part of our community. and now to day a severe weather outbreak. the south is mother nature's target.
7:28 am
one day after tornados and high winds killed two and left a path of destruction through several states. mike bettes is live in atlanta. the university of georgia experienced brief emergency after a tornado warning there. what have you seen this morning? >> reporter: here in atlanta a couple of tornado warnings as well. right now it's just heavy rain. a lot of campuses have been impacted by this not only university of georgia but clemson and florida state where at tallahassee they have a tornado warning and a flash flood warning simultaneously. a lot happening across the south. we're on the northeast side of atlanta. you can see the low clouds on securing the buildings a little bit this morning. atlanta will be out of this, we think, relatively quickly through the late morning. everything pushes over to the carolinas in through north florida. the issue today will be the high winds and the chance of tornad s s as well. reporting about 10,000 customers in the atlanta metro area without power. north carolina, south carolina,
7:29 am
through alabama and georgia about 50,000 customers are without power right now. and tornado watches, jose, we remain in effect throughout the afternoon. will include cities like charlotte, columbia, south carolina, and the resorts in charleston and savannah. >> how long will the warnings go for? >> reporter: well, the warning in tallahassee will expire within the next 30 minutes. the watches we have going through the afternoon and evening. including 2:00 the carolinas, 7:00 down through florida. it's going to be an ongoing thing through the afternoon and evening. >> the weather channel's mike bettis. thank you for being with me. violent protest in mexico. a central american earthquake, and kim jong un is back. let's zoom through the top stories. protesters storm a government building in mexico yesterday smashing windows and setting fires. all to demand answers in the disappearance of dozen of
7:30 am
students. the 43 missing students were taken by police two weeks ago after protests. ten newly discovered mass graves could contain their bodies. 26 local police officers linked to a drug cartel are under arrest in connection with to the case. a 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked el salvador it triggered a tsunami warning but none detected. one person was killed in eastern san miguel. there was some minor damage. the power was out in some areas. the earthquake felt in many countries in central america. oscar pistorius's defense team is finishing in the sentencing phase of his murder trial. he was found guilty in the cu--e should receive community service, therapy, and supervision. the olympian fashions up to 15
7:31 am
years behind bars. after 0 d40 days of not bei seen in public kim jong un resur f resurface. the u.s. has no way of verifying when the photographs were taken. the cane shows he's suffering from some kind of problem with his leg. coming up more politics and promises. i'll be digging into my own archives to see how something the president told me about deportation squares or doesn't square with reality. but first, we're going to go live to kentucky to talk bluegrass show done. a debate a split decision? a lot of head scratching over one mitch mcconnell answer on health care. we'll break down the good, bad, and ugly in seconds. so guys -- it's just you and your honey.
7:32 am
the setting is perfect. you know what? plenty of guys have this issue, not just getting an erection, but keeping it. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and you only take it when you need it. good to know, right? if ed is stopping what you started... ask you doctor about viagra. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. ask your doctor if viagra is right for you.
7:34 am
ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. ring ring! ...progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables... shh! taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!? no...soup! oh! soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste.
7:35 am
this is a matter of principle. our constitution grants here in kentucky the constitutional right for privacy at the ballot box for a secret ballot. you have that right, senator mccobble has that right. >> you would support the continuation of connect? >> well, it's a state decision. it's several states had it. >> would you support it? >> that's fine. yeah. i think it's fine to have a website. yeah. >> nothing quite like a bluegrass show down. democratic allison lundergan grimes facing off against mitch mcconnell in their first and only debate. it's two moments to discuss with sam youngman. and in washington political reporter. sam, you were in the room last night. what moment stands out to you the most? >> well, i really thought that the back and forth between
7:36 am
secretary grimes and mcconnell about how he became a multimillionaire was the moment that stood out and the one most likely to translate to voters. from a media perspective we'll continue to fixuate on this refusal, the somewhat maddening refusal to secretary grimes to say who he voted for when he was a delegate for president obama. we heard a continue situation of senator mcconnell trying to have it both ways on the president's health care plan. it has been a success here. if you look at polling kentucky don't like obamacare but they like connect. >> with the vote and nonanswer what is grimes trying to accomplish? >> i don't know at this point. she doesn't want to answer the question because i think they're afraid of a 30-second ad where she said i voted for president
7:37 am
obama full stop. the maddening thing about this is she could have said, you know, i voted for him and not now i'm disappointed weeks ago and we wouldn't have been talking about it as much as we are. but, you know, she said it last night and the refusal is continuing to feed this conversation. >> and do you think the senator didn't know the details of the website or, i mean, that was a odd answer, wasn't it? >> it's similar to what we heard from him the day after the may primary here. in fact, i think you could hear all of us all of our jaws dropping at the press conference in louisville when senator mcconnell said kentucky can keep the exchange even if obamacare is repealed root and branch. which is technically accurate. the problem is, kentucky tried that before. we had a health care exchange in the '90s without the, you know, 250 million plus dollars in federal money. the exchange doesn't have the teeth it need to work.
7:38 am
>> and jackie, let's talk immigration politics in kentucky. i want to play part of a grimes ad that hasn't been picked up much by the national media outside the state until recently. listen to this. >> i'm allison lundergan grimes and i approve this message. i never supported amnesty or benefits for illegal immigrants and i never will. >> someone who covered immigration policies for a long time. i cannot remember a democrat using that type of language in a long time. how is that playing outside of kentucky? >> you know, i think this ad was more conservatives. a lot of conservatives don't like mitch mcconnell which is why he was challenged from the right earlier this year. it's trying to get them to stay home. you know, you still can't trust this guy. maybe you should stay home and not vote for him. there isn't a lot of risk in kentucky for an ad like this because there's only something like 1% of the population that is hispanic. dispressing that turn out the race is closed. you never know.
7:39 am
it won't necessarily tip the scale if it would if conservatives decided we're going to stay home and not support the guy. >> on the other hand -- >> i think the larger question is for months i believe there was nothing else lundergan grimes could do that would anger her base so much to stay home. the contempt for mcconnell is is severe on the left. when you take something like this, you can combine it with ree few sal to say whether or not she voted from the president. i'm hearing from a lot of liberal democrats where is the defense between her and mcconnell? she needs every democrat in the state to turn out. thank you both for being with us. we already know what the senator feels about immigration reform. and he is completely opposed to any of that. thank you for being with me. border politics, of course, will be part of any conversation. jay johnson is making remarks as we speak in washington about some of his priorities likely including how to better secure
7:40 am
the southern border. it brings me to the deportation numbers. newly released by homeland security within the last few days. they show deportations last year up by 5%. and then there's who is being deported. the number of noncriminals is also up while the criminal numbers are slightly down. that's squaring with what the president told me last year. >> what we've seen is the people who are being deported the vast majority now are criminals that did not used to be the case. >> joining me here in miami is someone who deals with the issue front lines every day. immigration attorney. thank you for being with me. the president told me that over and over again. by the way, he has set that as a policy. he's set it as guidelines for immigration. i think this is a big disconnect between what the president wants and says he wants and what really is happening on the field. >> yeah. it's a disconnect that doesn't
7:41 am
seem to be end. the numbers are striking. the number of deportations with the president is well over 2 million and the vast majority of the people being deported are not criminals. are not people who we should fear. are not a threat to this country. we're just separating families. >> so how do we know that in fact that the people being deported aren't the criminals. by the way, first victimized the undocumented community. >> we know it from the numbers themselves. the vast majority of people being deported do not have criminal records. what is happening, jose, there's a policy that is driving this. that is a policy of issuing immigration holds. >> what does that mean? >> basically what happens is i.c.e. issues the immigration holds for anyone who overstayed their welcome or who is in violation of some rule or guideline of the immigration laws, and once they issue the holds they issue them to local
7:42 am
and state police officials. the local and state policing officials may stop somebody on a traffic ticket or encounter somebody on a bus or down the street. if they see one of the immigration hold they're not allowed to release them. even though the person is not a threat to the society or community. they're not terrorists. they're not criminals. so police officials in local and state municipalities are forced to hold the people. then i.c.e. comes in, picks them up, and deports them. then we have this repeated cycle of separation of families. is that immigration hold really necessary? no. but it is what is driving the problem. because these immigration holds are causing policing officials locally to indiscriminately hold people. they have no choice but to do it. we end up with massive deportation. >> then you have the president, really, again, i want to emphasize over and over again he has said to authorities, to his people. listen, prioritize. prioritize, prioritize. it's not happening. >> it's not happening.
7:43 am
it's not happening at a time when the president keeps postponing promises that he keeps making. >> indi understand that. here is the chief executive of the nation. he really believes this. he believes that people are actually -- and he said so! let me ask you about another thing the white house has been highlighting. the number of unaccompanied minors they say it's dropped from the peak this summer. what is the reality in the court. >> you can see, for example, in new mexico the unaccompany the minors are getting kangaroo cords that take about two second to adjudicate their cases. their lawyers until recently were not even allowed to be on premises. the lawyers when they tried to visit their clients were not allowed to bring computers or phones into the facilities. and these kids were not getting any due process. they were not getting their cases fully reviewed. they were being held. the bonds being set very high. so these kids have no ability to
7:44 am
present a case and their due process rights are being violated. >> i think to bring you back to the conversation we had at the beginning here. i'm wondering for the president of the united states says something and his own people don't carry it out. what can he do? it just seems like it's just so o odd. >> well, you know, what happens is he needs a clear policy on deportation. >> i think he has one. he says we're going prioritize among other things. we're going to prioritize the deportation of criminals. he said that to his people. >> here is the problem. he can say that but he is not saying to them therefore do not issue deportation rules on anybody who does not have a criminal record outside of immigration violences. >> you can do an executive order? >> absolutely. so the issue really is, yes, he says i want you to prioritize. >> he actually say it is and carry it is out and asks the people to do it. it's not just talk. he actually puts the priorities
7:45 am
into words. >> but you are giving people discretion and discretion is a bad thing. >> right. >> you can't give them discretion. you have to say you cannot deport people that don't have criminal records. you cannot issue immigration rules on people who qualify for other immigration policies that exist. >> which could be what he's doing among things he said he's doing to do by the end of the year. >> one hopes! he keeps delays and delaying. he said after the november primary -- after the november election. >> before the end of the year. thank you. it's a pleasure to see you. >> good to see you. developing right now live pictures out so of santa clara county, connecticut. the coast guard trying to get to a woman in a car. she's alive but has life threatening injuries. the accident happened yesterday. look at the pictures are happening right now. also, just into msnbc facebook founder mark zuckerberg
