10:00 am
map. >> the dow just passed 18,000. look at this. it is coming up on this. hold for it. it is 1:00 on the east coast and 10:00 on the west. here's what you need to know right now as well. one protest expected to take off this hour in new york city. take a look at this live picture. demonstrators gathering there this hour days after a grand jury decided not to indict a police officer in the earth of eric garner. >> justice! when do we want it? >> this protest across the city last night. more than 200 arrested and mostly peaceful demonstrations. shut down a major thoroughfare and it's not just new york city. there were protests in chicago
10:01 am
and washington and boston and baltimore. the governor spoke out about their message earlier. >> the messages that they believe we have a justice system that doesn't represent all the people in the country. that is a much bigger problem that is beyond eric garner and ferguson, missouri. >> we are expecting a protest this hour. there is a live picture from new york city's union square park. we will be there to tell you what they have planned. more protests in phoenix, arizona. people taking to the streets after the death of another unarmed black man shot boy a police officer there. that man was pulled over tuesday because his vehicle's description matched that of a drug suspect. he was shot twice by an officer who believed he was reaching for a weapon.
10:02 am
they meach and demanded the officer's name. his identity has not been released. we will keep you posted. >> developments in the lawsuit against bill cosby. his attorneys are responding for the first time to the woman who claimed cosby molested her at age 15. that comes in the response of court papers. his attorneys said they deny all of the changes and site past ex-portion attempts by this accuser. they call it meritless and unsupported. attorney gloria allred and one of her clients and is accusing bill cosby of assault. very emotional this week. we will also speak with one of the more high profile victims, model janice dickinson. good news on the jobs market. we read the unemployment reports. more jobs, higher wages.
10:03 am
321,000 jobs were added, the total that was more than what was expected. unemployment at 5.8%. hourly earnings with the biggest jump since june 2013. the dow and the s&p just breaking records today following news of the better than expected jobs report. the dow is pushing 18,000. not there yet, but very, very close. that's the latest. take a look at that. we will keep you posted on the numbers and drill down on the protest. ongoing two days after eric garner's grand jury decision. another demonstration getting under way right now as we speak. frustration boiling over. the prosecutors are releasing some of the details surrounding that grand jury process. not all of them. here's what we do know. the grand jury sat for weeks and given 60 exhibits of evidence. many of them civilian bystanders. a protest in union square park.
10:04 am
msnbc joins me live from that park. how many people are expect and where do they plan to go? >> we are already seeing a small group of protesters here. they say that they are high school students here to protest and read off the names of those killed by police officers around the country. this is nothing compared to the near 1,000 people we saw in the protests yesterday. we are seeing that there will be at least others happening and more later to come. be this is a very organized effort. many behind the ferguson protest are galvanizing to tell people to hit the streets at distinct times and places. this is an organized effort going throughout the nation. >> amanda, thanks for following that. we will be keeping track of the
10:05 am
fore tests. they are the topic of a lot of debate. we want to get your take on it. that's the battle going on now. do you think that any of these protests will produce policy change on a national level. we would love to hear what kind. weigh in if you think there will be change, yes or no. if you are not so much of an optimist looking to see how positive people are feeling. in addition the new justice department investigation into the garner case, there is also a new u.s. attorney's office investigation happening in new york. that was led by u.s. attorney and the president's attorney general loretta lynch. he was on the hill meeting with republican who is weighed in on this case and what impact it might have on her nomination hearings come january. lindsay graham portrayed someone who prosecutes street criminals. they said i doubt i will be asking that. how much do you
10:06 am
expect on the nomination process? >> it's an interesting question. we have seen republicans use a lot of random and sometimes weird cases against eric holder. he has been as everyone knows a lightning rod. do they take that approach with an incoming attorney general or nominee like eric holder, the first african-american attorney general who could be the second and first african-american woman? the short answer is they may not be eager to take this up and a lot of conservatives, particularly libertarians have been concerned about the misconduct and the video making it clear that there is a problem and one that people in both parties have talked about. dwle i don't know that they will not be completed in time, but the hearings will be a point of contention. >> what are are the pitfalls?
10:07 am
>> with lo letta ridge, a prosecutor has been confirmed with republican votes twice when she was in the clinton era and now under obama. >> she seems well liked and well respected. >> they would have to find something new or different. this is one of the cases where and she has been in the for so long. she hasn't been out there giving speeches and from years ago. they were not beyond the pale. she spent most of her time doing traditional federal investigations and prosecutions. you are talking about situations and you are talking about interstate or federal level crimes and violent crimes and assaults on officers. this is the kind of stuff that is not that controversial so she may get a strong positive reception at the end of this. >> maybe her not being so out there will be to her benefit.
10:08 am
including on the site where you should watch it about two hours. always smart on that show. president obama made it official and nominated a new secretary of defense in line with rumors he announced ash carter has the nominee. explaining why he chose carter, the president got a little unexpected motown influence. >> one last piece of critical information that may have tipped the scales and me wants to promote ash. ash is a big motown fan. one of his favorites is a classic by the four tops, reach out, i'll be there. i am reaching out to you. you have been there for us, our troops, our families and our nation. >> that's more fun than we had with a secretary of defense nomination.
10:09 am
few republicans did take aim at the reveal. it's an opportunity to dig into the president. john mccain. i hope that dr. carter understands that as previous secretaries have strongly attested, he will have limited influence over the tight circle around the president. following in this and joins me live from the white house. thanks so much. does the administration expect a big fight on the hill? he is a popular nominee. most of the republicans have given positive statements about him. it's not expected to be a battle. he will get some republican votes in the confirmation hearingsment they will use as mccain did, the way to attack obama on foreign policy. arguing he is not assertive enough with russia or isis. >> thank you so much. appreciate that. a quick update from you. we will be following the story for you. a lot of reaction coming into the nomination.
10:10 am
up next, stay with us. we are looking at this. the protest following the eric garner grand jury decision continuing nationwide. an interesting perspective with former head of the naacp on whether he thinks the protest will prompt change. the same question we will ask you. stay with us because we will have my interview with one of the women accusing bill cosby of sexual assault. >> we together will get and we will fight and we will keep fighting until our last breath. i know i will. >> powerful conversation i personally found upseting for janice dickinson. billion bottles of water every year. that's enough plastic bottles to stretch around the earth 230 times. each brita filter can replace 300 of those. clean. clear. brita water. nothing is better. winter is hard on your face. the start of sneeze season.

. >> people need to know that black lives and brown lives matter as much as white lives. we have to aspire to that. i believe this is not just a problem in new york city, but an american problem and american challenge. our generation has to resolve it. >> the new york mayor echoing the sentiments of thousands of protesters across the country. black lives matter. that's a phrase showing up in a lot of protests. a group of protesters taking to the streets with shared demands. something civil rights leaders will call for next saturday. the fellow for american
10:15 am
progress, the former president and ceo of the naacp. >> as for the civil rights leader, you lived threw out rage and tension about police force. does it feel like a real turning point in policy to you this or do you think it will return to the status quo i have great faith in against stop and frisk and racial profiling out of the rodney king case and they have
10:16 am
gotten increasingly sophisticated. they pushed through real reforms and quite frankly in many ways they are public for and what needs to happen across the country, you see a similar type of sophistication and policy. so that things lead to real results. >> we have another protest happening now in union square. it's one thing to march in the streets and hold signs. how do you channel this energy we are seeing around the country and into real policy change? >> we have to be clear that the doorway to a great cause is often a terrible case. a lot of folks will come through
10:17 am
the doorway and few will stay. the ones who stay have to be crystal clear on the policy results they want to make happen. it is great to see the president come out and there was pressure for him to do so. there has to be prosh speaker boehner to come out. it is clear that our laws must go further. we need national standards for use of force and training. we need to make sure there is money and a portion firefighter body cameras. we have to make sure that we actually have independent prosecutors who come in when there is a clear conflict and the prosecutor cannot enforce the law with close relationships with. all of this is going to take boehner reaching deep and finding his inner jack kemp. jack kemp once said you have to give the republican leader be so

fiercely for civil rights. the former congressman who had been an nfl quarterback when the league was desegregated and said i have no problem fighting for the rights of men i used to shower with. i have no problem fighting for the rights of anybody in the great state of ohio. >> you point it a lot of very important policy factors here. your organization with the center for american progress looking at one fundamental piece and that's electoral equality. you released a report on texas and north carolincarolina, data 2014. looking at what you have seen, how does this affect the pulse? >> one of the things i hope is that people will do what we started to see at ferguson. now is the time for the voter registration. it is the only antidote to massive voter suppression. what we have seen with the laws in plays like virginia where
10:19 am
they disinfranchised about 200,000 voters and the senate race was decided that the conservatives are doubling down on voter suppression and the states where they have influence because they are afraid of losing control. if these young people can get focused on power, policy and power, they must turn to massive voter registration and beginning to take our states back to the democracy. the real tough part here is that if you think about the founding of our country, these young people are as worried about their lives and the hants of the loc red coats. you would think we could do better than this. >> thank you for that take on this and all the work you do. interesting data there. i will send everybody to that study. >> appreciate your time.

>> great to be here. >> we have developing news coming in over the wires. rolling stone issuing a letter to readers about the shocking story you may remember about a gang rape on its campus in university of virginia. the letter today disclosing discrepancies in that report from the alleged victim. the story from jackie, the woman that we have an image of her there. they didn't contact the man. they said orchestrated the rape or participated in the attack and otherwise had no reason to believe her story was not trustworthy. in the face of new information, there appear to be discrepancies and her trust was misplaced. we are trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation they feel and regret the decision to not contact the

10:34 am
that it's evident that i got raped. >> on the legal front, the l.a. police chief just came out and told reporters, they are willing and prepared to investigate this, even regardless of the statute of limitations. is that what you want to see? >> i want the police to do the right thing. i want anyone that will hire him to do the right thing and i want his attorney who wasn't present and didn't have sexual relations with bill and with all the other women including the women that were underage and the vampires that are trying to make money out of lawsuits. i want you all just to think. it didn't happen to you. you can't call me a liar. >> you mentioned vampires trying to make money off of the lawsuits and the response from the cosby team.

i want to ask you about your earlier involvement in legal cases. this is not the first time you have been mentioned and you were mentioned as jane doe 5. you never gave a deposition because it was settled out of court. tell me about that experience. >> the experience still plagues my mind since i told the truth. i passed a lie detector test. i came forward in order to help and i believed at that time that was all that needed to be done and i would contact the national enquirer. even though it was a tabloid, and that it never mentioned anything to anybody about my involvement with mr. cosby or the molestation or bad behavior
10:44 am
in the end that and the legal team would help us all be able to speak with andrea and be able to stop this violence from occurring. and that i felt by coming forward and finally having this legal team with this deposition, we were going to be given free legal counsel and by becoming a jane doe, we had power. if something were to happen to me because again this is bill cosby and i thought the safety and security. >> you can be more specific about that? your life has been threatened by whom? by coz me or his team? >> absolutely.
10:45 am
yes. let's look at singer and what's going on right now. look at the face of bill cosby. how frightening is that to have him continue to say that he did not do any of these things to us? why in the world would i lie? i passed a lie detector test, mr. cosby. he used my lie detector test and my photos in order to have my story stocked. he was the most afraid of me. that was in a commotion just released from the philadelphia piece where the settlement was done. >> that are is different than a threat against your life. i want to be clear. >> just understand, sir, that the day i met mr. doz we was the day he began to medal in my life and take everything from me.
10:46 am
what he has done to so many other victims and he takes you on and becomes your mentor and father figure and becomes your life coach. he manipulates you all the time and all those things that my father warned me about with models, he was doing that to us and to me personally. once i became involved with him, he did not want to let go of me. i became his possession and even though i was married at the time and he is too, it didn't matter to him whatsoever. a threat from my life. i had to do years of therapy and try to keep this pain and tormt. i told the truth since 1984. i came forward in 2 thousand 5. i never got to speak to any of

10:48 am
you asked for two things. you suggested that the statute be waved by cosby and invite the investigation of the claims. he set up $100 million fund. in light of marty singer's latest letter from cosby's lawyer, saying that one allegation is tainted because of an extortion charge. do you worry about this asking for money and think it taints the credibility? >> not at all. let me say that i was not the lawyer on the case. he made that charge. having said that in compensating victims would find that i have no problem in saying that if a
10:49 am
victim can prove that bill cosby assaulted her or drugged her or both, she should be compensated. i have invited him to enter into a confidential process. mr. cosby and let the retired judge hear in terms of defense. the time period set by law for them to have filed the claims. he can do that. i hope he will do that so that then the arguments can be presented in a public forum to a judge and jury. what could be so fair. i so appreciate you bringing that message to us.

era bit. orion is already back on earth after doing its thing in orbit for a few hours. it splashed in the pacific. derek pitts, chief astronomer at the franklin institute, also a solar ambassador, my favorite job title ever. thanks for coming back on the program. so, this was a big success. it's been trending on social media in a huge way. what do you hope this will inspire in terms of investment in the modern space race? can america regain some primacy in this area? >> absolutely america can regain primacy in this area. we're the world leader as it is now, even though we've been working our way up to this point with orion now, and as we continue to build the program towards eventually getting to mars, people will join on the band wagon. people will become excited and we'll be able to see solid progress forward as long as we continue to have good support from congress and the office of the president. >> what's next for orion?
10:55 am
>> what's next for orion? is that all the data will be collected, analyzed and what's learned from this will be rolled into the continued development of the capsule. the next mission comes in 2016 or 2018 with an unmanned lunar sir couple navigation and the next in 2021 with a rendezvous with an asteroid near the moon. >> are those goals viable, 2021, the earliest for passengers, asteroids, finally mars, realistic is it? >> it's not a question of whether or not nasa can do this. nasa has proven itself in the past it can do wonderful things without any problem as long as it has the funding and the support to make it happen. so, these are not unrealistic. i think we'll see nasa making milestones, going to an asteroid and then on to mars. >> thank you for pointing that

out about congressional support, especially. it's something we don't hear enough about politicians talking about. really appreciate it. before we go, the results of our contentious hash tag battle today. we asked you if you think the ongoing national protest over the grand jury not to indict the man who killed eric garner would produce national policy change? 72% of you think it will make a difference. that wraps up today's "r.f. daily." i really, really appreciate all of your time. have a good weekend. coming up, but also stay here, we'll leave with you this shot of the rockefeller center christmas tree as i urge you all to stick around for "the reid report" with my colleague joy reid.

in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time.

while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

article last month alleging a gang rape at the university of virginia in 2012 against a woman named jackie. in the three-paragraph update called a note to our readers, managing editor wrote the following n the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in jackie's account. we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. we were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault. and now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account. we are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story. "the washington post" quotes an attorney for the fraternity that's named in the story, saying it will release a statement today rebutting the claims in the original article. joining me now on the phone is katherine valentine, a uva student and reporter with wuva and msnbc's arin car mon
