9:00 pm
asked nicely. so we have marginalized ourselves. this shows it is an equal branch and has a check and balance when it come to making war. i think it was what the founders envisioned. and i hope that we insist upon it and make meaningful changes to this resolution. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you. >> that is all for "all in." >> thank you for joining us this hour. we have breaking news tonight awkwardly concerning our own network. nbc news announced they are suspending brian williams for six months without pay. brian williams will be suspended from his role as anchor of the evening newscast and the show's managing editor. that means necessary charge of the could not tent overall. tonight's announcement, which just happened in the last hour, comes less than a week after mr. williams publicly apologized for saying he had been on board a
9:01 pm
helicopter in iraq in the very early days of the iraq war, a chopper that he said came under rpg fire and he had not been on that helicopter. in his apology the anchor said he made a mistake, he informs a following aircraft, not the one that took fire. he conflated the story with his memory. after that apology, nbc opened an internal review of mr. williams reporting. meanwhile this weekend on saturday, he announced this. he said as managing editor of nbc nightly news, i have decided to take myself off of the daily broadcast for the next several days. he said upon my return, i will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us. the nbc news review is still on going, but the breaking news tonight is the network announced they are suspending him without
9:02 pm
pay for six months. in a statement tonight, the president of nbc news deborah turness says the suspension is effective immediately. brian misrepresented events that happened in the iraq war in 2003. it became clear that he had done the same while telling the story in other venues. this was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in brian's position. we have concerns about comments that occurred outside of nbc news while brian was talking about his experiences in the field. as managing editor and anchor of nightly news, he has a responsibility to be truthful and uphold the high standards of the news division at all times. we felt it would have been wrong to disregard the good work that brian has done and the special relationship he has forged with our viewers. over 22 years. millions of americans have turned to him every day and he has been an important and well respected part of our organization.
9:03 pm
we also have a statement from the head of nbc universal steve burke. he says this has been a painful period for all concerned and we appreciate your patience while we gather the available facts. by his actions, brian has jeopardized the trust that millions of americans placed in nbc news. the suspension is severe and appropriate. his life's work is delivering the news, i know brian loves his country, nbc news, and his colleagues. he deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him. brian shared his deep remorse with me and is committed to winning back everyone's trust. that statement from steve burke, the head of nbc universal. breaking news tonight. nbc news announced tonight that brian williams suspended without pay for six months. here is the awkward part for us. here's why this is awkward for us and me as the anchor. we are msnbc. the nbc in that means we operate
9:04 pm
under the nbc umbrella, and there is a good reason why you see so many faces from nbc news on our air. it's because we are really partners with them. we're working partners within the news division. but tonight even as we're reporting on this breaking news about the news division of which we are a part, no, nbc news will not make anyone available to discuss this story with us on the air. that may change in days ahead. you would think if they're going to talk to anybody about this, we might get a leg up. on getting interviews with any nbc news executives on this decision. if only because we're right down the hall. but so far, no one. i hope in days to come that might change but we are not talking about this yet. i live and hope. we'll have more on that in just a moment. this has been sort of a wild night of late breaking big news about the media.
9:05 pm
the other big breaking news is some honestly really unexpected news, and that is that jon stewart, long time host of "the daily show" on comedy central is stepping down from that job. he's leaving "the daily show." jon stewart broke the news himself in tonight's taping of the "daily show." he told the audience there for tonight's show that he was leaving the show and it quickly filtered out to the rest of the world. he has been host of the daily show since shortly after it's finding. he has been the one constant on that show since then. even as a revolving cast of contributors and co-conspirators and correspondents coming on. but comedy central confirmed that he will be stepping down from that job until the end of this year.
9:06 pm
and that is a big deal, right? that is a big deal for the comedy world since this news comes at the same time that david letterman is leaving his job at cbs. it is always big deal for the world broadly. for a whole generation of people, jon stewart has been in the news, right? there is a whole news enterprise separate from what he calls his fake news enterprise. but he has been a legitimate source of news for nearly two decades running now. he doesn't like to talk about it or admit it that way but it is true. maybe the most amazing part is that it started like this. this is from the 1997 white house correspondence dinner when jon stewart was the last minute guy that could get to be the comedy act form unpopular gig that night. watch. >> now we turn to a veteran of the stand up comedy circuit and television. jon stewart is considered one of america's top young comedians.
9:07 pm
he has host his own talk show for mtv, aptly titled "the jon stewart show." there is more that i could tell you, but one of the nicest things is simply this. he showed up when someone else didn't. >> i'm happy to be here. let me say this is the nicest dinner i've ever been to. >> jon stewart was the third choice that year. rosie o'donnell was asked and she said no. dennis miller was asked and he said no. so they got this guy no one had heard of, jon stewart. since then he has been one of the most influential comedians on the planet, it's because of stuff like this that he does on a nightly basis. >> there was some individuals who were wrong. ant the whole [ bleep ] thing. just dead wrong about everything. all of them. >> let's act now to get rid of a tyrant who abused and killed his
9:08 pm
own people. procuring weapons of mass destruction. stacks evidence to that effect. >> the choice is to start a war or letting them have weapons of mass destruction. >> dealing with a country that can finance reconstruction and relatively soon. >> the baathists who use their power to repress the iraqi people -- >> you can have all of these memorable screw ups. that is what i call being totally [ bleep ] wrong. >> for all you kids watching at home. santa is just white. but he is arguing that maybe we should have a black know santa. santa is who he is. we are debating this because someone wrote about it. [ laughter ] [ bleep ] just got real. santa is just white. and who are you actually talking to?
9:09 pm
children who are sophisticated enough to be watching a news channel at 10:00 at night, yet innocent enough to still believe santa claus is real, yet racist enough to be freaked out if he isn't white. >> that should be noted, and i think it does need to be noted that jon stewart himself at times veered out of the "just doing fake news here lane" that he ascribed to. in 2010 they held a joint rally washington dc called the rally to refore sanity and/or fear. it was sort of a response to the tea party. a response to the extremes in politics that were starting to take over the conversation maybe? whatever it was, something like 200,000 people turned out for that rally. with jon stewart and steven colbert, and he broke out of his
9:10 pm
role at that very cool event. >> we live now in hard times, not end times. and we can have animus and not be enemies. most americans don't live their lives as republicans, democrats, liberals or conservatives. look at the screen, this is where we are, this is who we are. these cars. that's a school teacher that thinks his taxes are too high, he is going to work. there is another car, a woman with two small kids can't think about anything else right now. this is us every one of them
9:11 pm
is filled with individuals of strong belief and principles they hold dear. often in opposition to their fellow travelers. yet the millions of cars must find a way to squeeze one by one into a mile long 30 foot wide tunnel carved under a mighty river. carved by people, by the way, who i'm sure had their differences. and they do it. concession by concession. you go, i'll go, you go, i'll go, is that an nra sticker on your car? an obama sticker on your car? that's okay, you go then i'll go. >> that was jon stewart at the rally that he health with stephen colbert a couple years ago. that ended up being kind of a political rally of his own. i interviewed jon stewart in 2010 after that rally and we talked about the difference
9:12 pm
between news and fake news, and the difference between news and social commentary and how him as a comedian fit into that. this is what he had to say about what he has been trying to do every night. >> i feel more of a kinship to jerry seinfeld than do i what you guys do or what cnn does or what nbc does. he is able to articulate an intangible for people. people say it's been in my head, i know it's been in there, but i never put it together with that kind of rhythm, and that's hilarious that you were able to articulate that. as he craftsman. he is the best at crafting those moments. sort of the intangible and he is today, things that really connect people.
9:13 pm
we try to do the same thing, but with a more political and social avenue. but it is still, if you were to look at our process, he is much more our process than the news is. does that make sense? >> what i know of your process seems similar to the way i put my show together. >> then you really need to change. you -- we have to because we're parodying a news organization. we have to have logistics and mechanics of one, but the process that the material goes through is not a news process, it's a comedy -- >> but it is fact checking. >> we do that not to be journalists, we do that because it would not be that funny if it was a lie. >> people would be hike i think it is pronounced baltimore, not balt-idmo. >> you do that because untrue things stand out like a sore thumb. >> even though you identify as fake news, and having a fake news process, i think -- >> we don't say fake, fake is
9:14 pm
wrong. that is a misnomer that we use, it is glib, it is not -- we're not news anything. we're commenting on the news. comedically. >> commenting on the news comedically. >> that was jon stewart in 2010. again, he is leaving, stepping down from "the daily show" at the end of this year. this is not a temporary step away like he did when he left to do a movie. this seem to be him leaving. he announced tonight in the filming of his show. it has been confirmed in a statement by comedy central. that news is coming at almost exactly the same time that nbc news announced that brian williams is being suspended from his role as nbc nightly news, suspended for six months without pay after he misstated his role in a combat incident while reporting on the iraq war. saying his helicopter came under
9:15 pm
fire when he in fact was not. david carr is joining us tonight. thank you for being with us. i appreciate your time. >> nice to be with you. >> this came as new news at the end of about a week now of a lot of news about brian williams, is this what you expected as a media observer for how nbc would handle this? >> i thought it was a good outcome. i wanted to hear as a consumer and reporter from someone other than brian williams about this. it was, you know, him saying he was sorry, sort of kind of. and then him saying he was taking himself off of the news. and even though i know and like brian, i thought to myself well, you really should not be in charge right now. you're not the managing editor of much of anything. you should sit still, and quiet, and find out what is going to happen.
9:16 pm
>> in terms of -- it is weird you know that this is happening at the same time, within a few minutes of us getting the same announcement of jon stewart leaving you said very different circumstances, leaving forever "the daily show." but just watching jon stewart's coverage of this last night on "the daily show," i found it striking that his essential defense of what happened to brian williams is that the news should not be so high and mighty about getting stuff wrong. it's not that everybody believes that the news, the voice of god news is always correct. the news has been wrong about really important stuff. what explains the intense personal focus on brian williams, given all of the things that come across as wrong all of the time. >> i think that mr. stewart did a good job as he often does, is
9:17 pm
it bad because you said you're on a helicopter that got hit or didn't, or because you said another nation was armed with weapons of mass destruction when that turned out not to be true, which of those errors is worse? which deserves to be looked into? i think it is interesting what is going on with jon stewart and brian williams because brian williams lived on that continuum between the so-called real news and celebrity culture, those commenting on the news, and is able to move through all of those worlds with a great deal of gracefulness. as it turned out he kind of got tripped up trying to make the trip back and forth. >> david carr, thank you for joining us on short notice. thank you for your time. >> it was an absolute pleasure. >> joining us now is chris smith, editor for "new york" magazine. he interviewed jon stewart for a piece this past november. thank you for being here, it is
9:18 pm
nice to see you. >> thank you for having me, rachel. >> the thing that has been fascinating in the media about "the daily show" is finding a way to describe it that accounts for its influence among newsmakers and the rest of the media. do you feel like that misses the focus or were we missing the point? >> in that clip you showed from john talking with you, he did a bad job of defining what he does, which in a crazy way is the beauty of it. he blurred a lot of these lines. yes, at the core it is jokes about the news, but over the course of 16 years he really expanded what that meant. there is satire, there is stupid gags. it is at times straight out commentary. it became over the years, much more in the past five to eight
9:19 pm
or so years a criticism of the media. and that was an interesting evolution. but the fact that jon never really pinned it down and didn't want to, didn't want the show to, is part of why it has been so successful. >> that was going to be my next question to you. even before you pointed that out. the media criticism turned there. i felt like within the media, i don't know a lot of people in the business. i think i'm isolated from my colleagues more than most because i'm shy. nbc won't even come. but, i feel like when jon stewart turned his lens on media criticism, it was very effective. do you think that's true? >> i think it is very true, a friend of mine pointed out to me that when i wrote a piece about jon in 2010, i interviewed brian
9:20 pm
williams, and he talked about why he envied what jon was able to do, and that is ironic or comic or just weird now. but yes, certainly people in the so-called mainstream news business took their cues from what jon was doing both to get larger audiences, and to try to stay ahead of the curve. his media criticism grew in large part because fox news was so successful. it gave him a great target, something that he disagreed with philosophically, the politics, and how successful they had been in actually selling their message. gave him a great target to pull apart whether it was more serious stuff than megan kelly and santa claus. or cheney and the run up to the iraq war. >> i feel like he is the only other person who is in the media
9:21 pm
at the same time that i am who is as obsessed with that topic. so it is gratifying to me that he has not let that go. as recently as last night. he has been tenacious on some issues like that and i think he changed the way that people think about them across genres. he spun off "the colbert report." and jon oliver. does someone follow in jon stewart's footsteps or is his influence wide instead of direct. >> that will be a hard chair to fill. how much of a vote he gets in picking a person, i think it will be interesting. think if it was up to jon, he would like to open it up and broaden it in weird and interesting ways. brian williams was on the show last night, but if people stuck around, there was a man who was a doctor, i think, by
9:22 pm
profession, who became a comedian and satirest in egypt. jon in filming his movie spent time in jordan and egypt and saw places where what jon because, and what you and i do even is not allowed by and large. and not that he will turn "the daily show" into an overt small de-revolutionary machine, but he has a notion of helping people or taking the show in an unexpected direction. >> chris smith, thank you for being here, especially on short notice to discuss news that i did not expect at all. we have more ahead on this very, very busy news night. while others go in circles... and repeat themselves... we choose to carve our own path, in the pursuit of exhilaration.

9:26 pm
formally to the president. why did they do that today? i think a, it is rare enough that congress passes anything, time to make a big deal out of it, but they really want people to know that it has passed. it will become law this week at a time when nothing passes through congress and becomes law. today that was his mother and his stepfather on hand as that bill heads to the white house for president obama's signature. they're making a big deal out of this because they have nothing else to make a big deal out of and because this is something that i think deserves as much publicity as they can get it. it is almost done. thursday it will be law. stay with us. colourists know roots take colour one way, and previously coloured hair another. new vidal sassoon salonist. first, brush roots then, blend through lengths.

she was a outstanding young woman. had a great spirit. and i think that spirit will live on. i think the more people learn about her, the more they appreciate what she stood for and the barbaric organization that held her captive. >> that was president obama today speaking in an interview with buzzfeed. that was his first opportunity to comment on the news. now confirmed by the white house and the intelligence community that kayla mueller, the last american known to be held be by isis, the only american woman to be held by the group, it is confirmed that she died while being held by isis. >> people told us that kayla tried to teach the guards crafts, to make little peace cranes. and they told each other stories and sang songs. they tried to exercise in that small space, and they kayla would stand on her head.

they got four to five feet of snow in a single storm. there was seven feet plus piled in some areas. home to the buffalo bills. the stadium where the bills play was totally snowed in, and four days after the storm, they had a home game planned against the new york jets. they offered $10 an hour plus free tickets if people came to help shovel out the stadium. people did come but it was not enough about to clear out the 220 tons of snow from the outdoor stadium. so what they brought in was these beasts. snow dragons. high ton industrialized snow melters. now those are being deployed to boston. to take on the huge piles of
9:35 pm
snow, some that are 10 to 20 feet tall. the city of boston, along with the whole state of massachusetts has been hit with a continuous, never ending onslaught of snow. they have asked the state of virginia, new jersey, and pennsylvania for help. the city of boston also started farming. they opened what they call snow farms. five giant snow farm that's are huge piles of snow they make in vacant lots and build with trackers. they unload thousands and thousands and thousands of dump trucks of snow and they built it into a giant cold dirty mountain. and that's called a snow farm. boston has so much snow that
9:36 pm
even the snow farm mountains are overflowing at this point. and so, cue the snow melters. boston has fired two of these guys up now. they have two snow dragons on loan, but there is so much snow to melt, that the governor of massachusetts says he may buy another two for the state. so far the melting capacity is not enough. particularly because massachusetts is about to get even more feet of snow than what is on the ground. the snow there now is disappearing cars and dwarfing people and things impossible. now cities all over the state. cities faced with this problem on what to do with snow, cities are considering dumping the snow into nearby bodies of water. >> it is not something the communities want to do and they're forced to do it and they're allowed to do it in these exceptions. with storm after storm, and more on the way, they literally have no place to put it.
9:37 pm
they have received the go ahead to go ahead and dump this snow in the atlantic ocean. that is video you see of the snow going in. state law prohibits it because of pollution concerns, but in extreme circumstances where public safety is an issue concern. >> when all else fails, dump it into the sea? boston is supposedly not planning to dump it into boston harbor at this point although they used to do it before. the report obtained a waiver to dump there are snow into a river. the mayor says they're doing it because they are maxed out with snow in places to shove it so why not shove it into the mer
9:38 pm
mack river. what does this strategy mean for massachusetts? especially considering that massachusetts is expected to great another foot of snow before this week is over. will all of the cities start dumping their polluted snow into bodies of water, and when the snow problem is gone, what happens with all that water. is this really the only way? joining me is bruce berman. communications director for save the harbor save the bay. thanks for joining us. so i have to ask what you think of this decision to dump the excess snow and anything it has been sitting in into the bodies of water that include the ocean and rivers. >> it depends on what the circumstances are. we spent $5 billion cleaning up boston harbor. it is the forefront of civic life here. we really care about it. we have some of the cleanest urban beaches any country. we have to keep a sense of perspective.
9:39 pm
we have had an extraordinary series of storms. 70 inches of snow in the past couple weeks. a public safety crisis. as a last resort, and when the water is deep and fast moving, it doesn't concern me that much. you have to keep a sense of perspective here. today i think the mayor announced that we will move 2,000 truckloads of snow to the snow farms. that is terrific. weir we're very glad we haven't had to take that step here in boston yet. but if we did have to do it, that would be about two million gallons which is about 1% of the daily flow of the charles river. certainly urban snow is dirty, and it's not our favorite resort. but at the end of the day, public safety first. >> is there anything they can do
9:40 pm
to be dumping into rivers or the sea, is there anything they can do to mitigate any potential worries? are there cleaner or better ways to do it? >> absolutely, the critical thing is that snow is fairly heavy when you dump trailer truckloads into the water. we're concerned that it not be done in shallow water, that it be done in deep water. boston harbor has an average depth of 40 feet at low tide. we have a nine-foot tide. so you want to do it at high tide with the tide falling. and you want to be alert. there is a lot of crap that you can see. we have a tradition here in boston of putting space savers in our space once we dug out our car. a dinette set, so we might have furniture floating in the harbor. on a serious level, this is a very unusual circumstance. i have been the bay watcher for
9:41 pm
the harbor for 25 years and i've never seen anything like it. they're calling it snowmageddon. it feels like we're under assault by mother nature. >> thank you for some perspective on this, appreciate your time tonight. >> my usual commute from western massachusetts to new york. i go home on the weekends and come here monday morning. i leave at about 8:00 in the morning and then i'm at my office by noon. i left early, about 7:30 yesterday morning in order to get to work. i arrived in my office at 7:45 p.m. that's how long it took to get here. in part because we now live in a snow cave. in massachusetts, if you don't believe the pictures, they're for real, it is like nothing i have ever seen. stay with us, we'll be right back. ♪ during its first year, a humpback calf and its mother are

ways. also in oregon, if you want to become a major political party, you have to submit the membership list of your party to the state. if your list equals 5% of the total number of people who voted in the last statewide election, you can be a major political party. here's the threshold last year. that's 5% of the total number who voted for governor. that's the number you have to hit to be a major political party. that's the number. here is what the independent party of oregon just turned in. they made it by three people. and so now, oregon is the latest state in the country to have another major political party on the ballot. running primaries and everything alongside the old red and blue. you spend enough time rooting around in some random state's news, it turns out there's weird stuff going on all the time. oregon sit better than everyone else when it comes to weird news in this news cycle.
9:56 pm
for whatever reason. on that front, there is a best new thing in the world. as we've been reporting, there is a park in salem where four people so far have been attacked by a big bard owl while they were out jogging. we're talking a big owl, four foot wingspan, talons self-inches long and you don't hear them coming at all. this thing is probably protecting its nest. from what it believes are marauding joggers that threaten it somehow. sometimes the owl just steals a guy's hat, sometimes it's knocked a guy down. one case it punctured a guy's scalp and hurt him so bad he thought he was having an aneurysm or maybe he was dying. a big animal. four attacks so far in the same park. these are the warning signs put up about it afterwards. i just thought pretty tame given what has been happening. we asked for your help in redesigning the warning sign. this is a good one. beware of owl.
9:57 pm
or this one, here be owls. like here be dragons but this had a view of the owl's feet. this one was really good. this has to be like oh, no, it's mr. bill. oh, no, the great bard owl. but then there's this one. owl not only attacks you, it picking you up and carries you to its nest and feeds you to its terrifying young. in the end, we settled on this one. which i love. there we go. our in-house artist made it. we love what she did. we put this on the show a couple of days ago, and then the salem, oregon surgeon, who was the first owl victim in the park, the guy who thought he was having an aneurysm, some friends of his made our suggestive sign into shirt and now selling them online. this is awesome.
9:58 pm
but meanwhile, we sent this sign to the folks at the parks department in salem, oregon. in part, because we enjoyed making it. but in part because we thought it might be a better public service than they had. so we sent this asking if we got it right, if this was inaccurate in any way, the they suggested we change it at all. we also asked them if they want to use it. turns out, they want to use it. they did ask us to make one change. they asked us to drop the little lanes to show the jogging trail. see? you never know where the owl may decide to descend. you don't have to be on the trail. it can get you anywhere. but they like it and would like to use it. this is what they said to us -- it is our hope that installing the attack owl signs will of course warn park users of the
9:59 pm
owl encounter but will also celebrate the unique presence of the owl. yes. i agree. celebrate it. and they want the sign! and so we are happily passing this on to them. it's in the mail, salem, oregon parks department. thank you for being so cool about this whole thing. i have to say, you know what? to all of oregon, from the giant, adorable gay bear couple that owns jebbushforpresident.com to your governor's bizarre girlfriend scandal, to your rain that looks like milk, to your republican party chairman, whose day job is collecting people's urine by mail, to your attack owl and the way that you love them, to your jogging surgeons who sometimes wear homemade green bay packer suits with a cape. to all of oregon, i've got to say thank you. the rest of the news in the

world right now sucks. the rest of the world has news that is terrible. but oregon, you are freaking excellent. best new thing in the world. we are sending you the sign. that does it for us tonight. now time for "the last word with good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. we've got a chair here. i'm always going to have a chair here. so whenever you feel you didn't get in everything you needed to get in, just run over here and jump in. >> i'll be right there. tonight, we will be covering that trial in texas. the man who killed chris kyle goes on trial tomorrow. and benjamin netanyahu continues to ignore everyone advising him to can sill his trip to washington. and jon stewart shocked the media world and the political world tonight. >> this is "the daily show with jon stewart."
