>> be on the lookout for two escape pees from clinton county correctional facility. first subject is a david paul suite. second subject is richard women matt. unknown direction of travel. possibly southbound on 87 in a dark blue honda or a ford with a broken rear bumper. >> good afternoon. i'm toure. coming on the air, detectives in new york are repeating their dire and frustrating assessment that the two convicted murderers could be literally anywhere. so who helped them? and the $100,000 question -- where are they now? david suite and richard matt drilled out of the clinton correctional facility a maximum security prison in upstate new york. sometime friday night or early saturday morning. investigators aren't sure exactly whether because the pair stuffed their beds with their clothes fooling the guards who were on rounds. the two used power tools to cut through pipes and stone walls
12:01 pm
two feet thick. we go inside their escape. >> reporter: they cut holes through the steel walls behind the beds. called on a cat walk six stories up. broke through a brick wall cutting holes into and out of a 24-inch steam pipe shimmying beneath the prison wall and then breaking out of a manhole more than a block behind. they left a note reading have a nice day. >> new york governor cuomo toured the escape route thinking if it's not real life who would believe this story? >> this really could have been a movie script and if you saw it as a script it would have been unbelievable, frankly. they definitely had help otherwise they couldn't have done this on their own. we are looking at everything but primarily from the inside. you have three types of employees in the prison you have the guards you have civilian employees and private contractors coming in to do work. they're truly dangerous,
12:02 pm
desperate men. they're killers. they're murderers. >> prison 0 if initials say all of the tools are accounted for. as for the noise issue, the governor says the prisoners drilling might have been done in the day when it could be masked by construction noise. the search has spread to canada. the prison is 20 miles from the border. this search spreads to mexico where one of the killer's fled before the trial. richard matt had a tattoo across his back reading mexico forever. state police are staked out at every school in the district and bus drivers are following emergency guide loons and neighbors are taking precautions because they say the killers could be anywhere right now. coverage starts in the rural adirondack mountains outside the facility. nbc's john yang is there. john the governor's right. if this was a movie, no one
12:03 pm
would buy this part of it. any potential leads right now? >> reporter: well, a lot of leads toure. the police investigators say they have gotten by midday about 300 tips as to the whereabouts of these two killers. but so far, they still say they can be anywhere. they have no idea exactly where they are. whether they're together whether they've split up. whether they're still in new york state. whether they have gone to vermont, to connecticut, north canada. headed to mexico. still no idea. the investigation as to how all this happened is going on on a separate track. they're interviewing focusing primarily on the civilian employees and the private contractors who go in and out of the prison every day. to try to figure out if anyone might have given them help. they do believe they had help on the inside and the question is whether they had help on the outside. which could mean that they got a pretty good head start to get away. here as you mentioned the schools are closing.
12:04 pm
one thing a lot of people here were very concerned about. over the weekend, they -- investigators cleared, checked all the schools in the area to make sure that they were clear. today, they had new york state police at all the schools. to make sure that everything was secure. so far sono problems. the manhunt goes on. the big investigation goes on to try to figure out how this happened. toure? >> john yang, thank you. with us now joseph jackalone and run a number of criminal investigations and brings the experience to his students and new york's john jay college of criminal justice. this reminds me of the scene of "the fugitive" where they come out and the guys have left and come out and, all right, guys, make a perimeter and has to be like north america. right? i mean, this is a nightmare for police. how do they deal with a situation the guys could be in that town or many many places?
12:05 pm
>> yeah. i mean this took about a large area to go through and pretty much all forest up there, too. hiding in the day and making the way at night. going undetecting at nighttime. you have to look at how and what the process was and what the procedures were of this -- >> you think probably not in canada but if you look at the trains they could be anywhere. >> yeah. looking for anybody, you think of cars trains buses, planes. buses and cars anonymous part of it you know you get on a bus an you could be another state in a few hours and something that the investigators hopefully looking at the bus stops and taxi stands and stuff like that. >> talk about the guys are. we're learning more about these convicted murderers in particular richard matt who killed his ex-boss, a 67-year-old businessman and then cutting up the body and throwing the pieces in a river, one former law enforcement official
12:06 pm
retired told "new york times," a lot of people get killed not many killers take the time to dismember the body. these guys are the worst of the worst. what does that tell you about how dangerous they might be at this point? >> yeah. anybody who runs across the guys will have a very difficult time staying alive, unfortunately. that's why they say if you see somebody, call them. they don't want to have to deal with the people on your own and probably not going to end peacefully either. these guys won't want to go back. >> i was just wondering about the other side of the story which is they clearly had help it seems and focusing now on help inside the facility if that was the case what on earth would motivate anyone to help these two highly dangerous men escape from prison? >> yeah. first thing you look at when's the benefit for somebody? this is why probably lean on the families first and the friends. that's what they're going to go through first. everybody who visits the prison everybody that called sent mail, all that's recorded and
12:07 pm
use it as investigative leads and try to create the links between the prisoners and people on the outside, maybe some of the contractors. they have to examine what the procedure and the policy about how we check in the contractors and how, you know nobody accounts for the tools at the end of the day before they leave or lock them up. they can't running party cords and recharged and this is a breakdown of supervision, everything. you know? listen. there's nobody here without any fault, unfortunately. >> joe ari here in washington. it's always easy after the fact to criticize these places i would say in defense of the supermax record most of the nation's supermax prisons have rare breakouts of this kind. but as you were describing the communication monitoring is a big piece and the ratio and the prisons we see it's you know three to four prisoners per corrections officer. so they're all over them. what do you think was the method of communication here given how
12:08 pm
surveilled everything is? i mean do you think they were somehow speaking in a code so that when they were on the phone to other folks or an in-person meeting the few they get it's undetected or another way working theory they could have done this? because the governor says they have help from the outside. >> sure. every bit of communication that they had with the outside will be examined for a code and to bring in professionals that handle this type of information, also. there's so many things for investigators to do and think that these guys as smart as they seem to be they split up. so it makes it easier to get away when you're not having somebody else you know dragging you down and if one guy is caught, the other guy doesn't know where the other guy is. that's probably a good plan for them. >> so they probably got to split up. they don't want to go to canada. what is your best guess on where they might be? do you want to look close by? perhaps they got to a safe house and then they are going to stay there as long as possible? >> that's always the option but
12:09 pm
i mean if like for instance i would want to go to the nearest water to throw the dogs off and that can be a reason why the dogs can't pick up the scent either and a river that goes into vermont and this is something that they should be looking at. >> they got to have been given fresh clothes and walking around with the orange or blue or whatever they wear in the facility, then they'd be spotted almost right away and somebody had to give them something different. right? >> they're going to need money, clothing, food and they need shelter and get it any way they can. if anybody didn't show up for work today, something else happens, investigate every petty crime, every call for a burglary. you don't know what they're capable of. >> thank you so much for your time. up next, the changing strategy to battle isis that's coming out of today's g7 summit. what president obama is signaling about america's new role and overseas and get reaction right here. plus what caused this scene at a texas pool party? an officer taking a teen in a

12:13 pm
12:14 pm
nbc's senior white house correspondent chris januarysing was in the room when the president met the worldwide press and she filed this report for us. >> reporter: the big news out of here is the strategy of shift on iraq. the president acknowledging that there have been some setbacks there and with the prime minister of iraq here in attendance asking for more help to fight isis the president said he has asked the pentagon for an axelccelerated plan to equip and train the irkaqis. without it, clearly he feels like he can't move forward and the president saying there are instances where they don't have the personnel they need. the other big headline the president came here wanting a clear statement of unity against russia and the incursions in ukraine. vladimir putin is not welcome
12:15 pm
here for a couple of years and a signal verbally, as well. the president suggesting that he has a wrong-headed desire to recreate the glories of the soviet empire. not only are the g7s saying they'll continue the sanctions that hurt the economy there but if he doesn't show any signs of backing off, they'll up them. >> the president asked about legacy issues. he is clearly frustrated by the setbacks of immigration in the courts and not a plan "b" and again expressing confidence as he has all along they'll support him and an issue to affect millions of americans who got insurance under obamacare. he is on the way back to washington, d.c. >> all right. chris januarysing, thank you. let's get to foreign policy. ceo and editor david rothcup and your reaction to the president's comments on isis today. >> well i understand why the
12:16 pm
president might think that we don't have a strategy because we don't seem to have a strategy. it is a little plererplexing why he would say we don't have one when he's been asserting we do for a while now. what we've been doing doesn't seem to be working and would have thought they thought that carefully in advance of a big, visible summit like this. >> i wanted your thought on political changes in turkey might impact the fight against isis. the president there's party lost the majority and losing some power and trouble forming a new coalition government. how does that potentially impact our fight? >> president erdogan isn't helpful in the fight against isis and the government of his has been supporting bad forces on the ground in syria, as well. perhaps a new government is more cooperative.
12:17 pm
on the other hand i don't think president erdogan and supporters likely to go away quietly and likely to see turmoil in turkey and may make it harder to make decisions and that may be unhelpful to us in the long run, too. >> you have been very critical of what the president's doing in regards to isis. i won't use the word strategy because i guess now we an i gree there isn't a strategy. given what we know now, if you were a presidential adviser, would you advise the president to send american ground troops in to syria to attack isis? >> not ground troops to attack isis but send more americans on the ground to help the iraqi troops on the ground to help do spotting to help do special operations. i don't think, frankly, that there's any way to avoid sending more troops there. because clearly, what we're doing right now is not working. isis is gaining ground. and every time they gain ground
12:18 pm
they also gain a kind of publicity lift. you know in they gain a little bit more momentum to recruit and makes them a bigger threat. >> although i wonder david, whether there's a faxixation of the strategy word is because the u.s. and many other arab states don't want to deal with the political cost of admitting when's going on and doesn't seem like a country stepped up saying this is a priority to prevent isis from existing as a sovereign territory or state and plenty of countries are bad in our view and don't try to wipe them off the map and fought the first gulf war in iraq and didn't set regime change as the goal. it was okay to live with them. is there something going on here perhaps in your view where the u.s. among other states are defact to, running a policy saying isis can exist and have turf but not wanting to admit that because it sounds bad? >> i don't think we're fixated on the term strategy.
12:19 pm
the president brought up the strategy or lack thereof. you're absolutely right. i don't think there's been a, you know despite all the talk of a coalition and 60 countries and all of that i don't think they have coaowe lessed around a particular strategy and only country clear about isis is iran. it's the iranians working with the shiite iraqis in baghdad that have actually sort of made some small inroads. thigh ter ones on point for this thing and it looks like we and the rest of the coalition essentially providing support for an iranian-led initiative. that of course has some problems for allies and i think it poses a long-term problem for the region and that's why i think more u.s. leadership more u.s. clarity, more clarity of us working with allies is required and not in the distant future. it's required now. >> david, i wanted to return to an area where there is a little more coe he is ian that's russia. the president spoke. let's hear a bit more of what he had to say.
12:20 pm
>> he's got to make a decision does he continue to wreck his country's economy, and continue rush why's isolation in pursuit of a wrong-headed desire to recreate the glories of the soviet empire or does he recognize that rush why's greatness does not depend on violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries? >> david, there was a lot of appetite this weekend for beer and pretzels and really good-natured getting along on the part of europeans and the united states. but is there an appetite for tightening up sanctions or doing something more aggressive to get russia to back down? >> well i don't think there is. i think a lot of european companies saying we're paying a price through the sanctions that exist and look at russia. the stock market's up 18%. it hasn't changed their policy
12:21 pm
on the ground in ukraine. the price of oil may go up late they are year to prove a little bit of a boom to the russians. the russians have a lot of leverage over with us the role they have to play with regard to iran. why suffer more? i think that's putting pressure on the european leaders and i think it's unlikely that you are going to see meaningful measurable increase in the sanctions. and that's why i don't think it's likely that you're going so' a major change in behavior of putin but the president has got it exactly right. this is bad behavior. it should be condemned and responded to strongly by the international community. we haven't seemed to muster a response that's putting any real pressure on putin. >> indeed. all right, david, thank you so much. always appreciate you. >> thank you. and up next what millions were watching this weekend from basketball to hockey to belmont, it was a huge weekend in sports including american pharoah's race into the record books. we'll roll on with your round-up. that's next.

12:26 pm
racing history saturday becoming only the 12th horse to ever win the prestigious triple crown in horse racing and took the crown decisive leading wire to wire and winning by five and a half lengths. on "today," trainer bob baffert explained why this horse is so special. >> can't be just a little bit better. you have to be way better to get it done and that's what this horse is. he was superior. he's got a great mind. but he's -- we see every time i run him, i see another dimension of him. >> american pharoah is now back in kentucky for a much-deserved rest. when's next for the newly crowned winner? joining us now is sny contributor and radio host mark malucis who witnessed it in person. >> so cool. >> totally jealous of you. >> yeah. >> whether you're a hard core racing fan or someone like me who was standing up in front of the set so excited, i have to know what was it like to be there? >> oh it was awe inspiring.
12:27 pm
one of the moments where the hair on the back of your neck is raised up. i'm at belmont for breeder's cup and past failures and seen the crowd get very, very loud and never seen it get as loud as it did on saturday for the sustained amount of time and the reaction of victor espinoza afterwards was classic and you haven't seen this in 37 years and to have all the failures 0 for 12 in the past and affirm doing it finally for american pharoah to do it, it was something really to take in. >> talk about this race. the horse showed itself to be an extraordinary athlete, leading wire to wire. the sixth fastest belmont time ever. >> yeah. >> and you know what they talked about was that it's difficult at belmont because it's longer right? >> sure. >> this horse is pulling away at the end and victor's not even using the whip until the thing is -- the race is all but over. so the race that they ran was extraordinary. >> really was.
12:28 pm
and he wasn't challenged. i was surprised to have john aboard materiality didn't challenge and you have a sense heading into the far turn how much horse victor espinoza had and he was able to jog. i talked to gary stevens after the race and he said he's worked harder in the morning than in the first mile of that race but not to take anything away from him. >> we didn't see the top gear you're saying? >> you did in the stretch. when he spurted away from frosted and frosted came up to his flank and victor espinoza and saw him stride away that is american pharoah. he's got a high cruising speed and another gear that the other three horses don't have. tremendous. >> unbelievable. >> ari here in washington. you talk about the athletes and telling us about jockey espinoza the oldest over to win the triple crown at 43 and tried and come up short twice before. many say he's a legend in the sport and he and the trainer we have been learning about combined the efforts to make
12:29 pm
history. tell us about them and how that works. >> yeah. i mean i think the owner is one of the great trainers that thorough bred racing has ever seen and as talented as he is didn't have a pun lished work by february 1st. four in eight weeks. five in three weeks, a testament to how good of a trainer he is to keep him healthy, on the straight and narrow and you look at victor espinoza failed in the past and california chrome a year ago. third time's the charm for him. usually rides in southern california. and he's usually more of a speed oriented jock. sent him right to the lead. a great accomplishment for both. both have had tremendous careers. >> so everybody's wondering if american pharoah is going to retire or continue racing. let's hear what his owner had to say about this. >> he belongs to all of us right now. everybody had been waiting for such a listening time. and sport was of any start is not a sport and i just want to
12:30 pm
show him off. >> so he wants to show him off but we are talking about a horse to command stud fees up to $100,000. some people estimated he is worth $50 million. will they keep racing him and risk injury? >> i believe and think they will and it's a case where you could potentially see going down the monmouth and saratoga and the traverse state in late august. the goal being the breeder's cup classic. >> why? >> they've been open and on honest. you're not a sport without a star. they have a star in american pharoah and own the rights until the breeding shed. you look at and already reached a deal with ashford stud and some speculated what it was. a deal they could not turn down. so that's later on down the line. that's the unfortunate thing looking at the racing. the stars of the sport aren't on the track all that long. you make more money in the breeding shed than you do on the track but i believe what they're
12:31 pm
saying, i think they want to continue to run him. i think you will probably see him three to four times the rest of the year. >> sure everybody would love this. >> thank you so much. >> a pleasure. next what led a texas cop to pull a gun on teens at a pool party as camera phones rolled? what was and wasn't caught on tape. plus what republican presidential candidate lindsey gram is saying about caitlyn jenner. you may be surprised. put your hand over your heart. is

we don't collect killer whales from the wild. and haven't for 35 years. with the hightest standard of animal care in the world, our whales are healthy. they're thriving. i wouldn't work here if they weren't. and government research shows they live just as long as whales in the wild. caring for these whales, we have a great responsibility to get that right. and we take it very seriously. because we love them. and we know you love them too. developing right now, a grand jury moving ahead with the murder charge against a south carolina police officer who was initially charged back in april in the fatal shooting of walter scott in his back. scott was apparently unarmed. the indictment came down today. the north charleston police department also fired slager after the video surfaced of the shooting. scott was initially pulled over during a traffic stop and then
12:35 pm
fled on toot. slager fired after him and firing eight shots and claimed he shot scott fearing for his life. also developing right now, a north texas police officer a ten-year veteran of the force on paid leave this afternoon after a wild piece of cell phone video went viral. take a look at this. it shows the officer wrestling a 15-year-old girl to the ground. outside of a neighborhood pool. another clip appears to show the same officer pulling out the gun on two boys. cops say they were responding to reports of a fist fight of teens in the area also caught on camera. police focusing the investigation on the moments leading up to the commotion of which for now there is no video. nbc's jacob raskin is covering all the moving pieces for us. where does the investigation stand? >> reporter: they have
12:36 pm
interviewed the officer involved and then those with him at the scene and the kids there and the parents. it is a massive effort. they want to talk to everybody who was involved there. and then the officer himself will have five days to respond to the administrative complaints against him. and then the police chief in mckinney will have 72 hours to respond with some sort of decision so the very earliest to see any sort of action here would be next wednesday. now, the video itself i just checked again, every hour hundreds of thousands of more people watch it. it's now up to about 5.5 million views. and of course it doesn't tell the entire story. what internal affairs is looking at is what led up to the police being called in the first place? there is video of a fist fight at that pool party. what we know is that it is a community pool that's exclusive to one neighborhood that many people were invited, allowed to bring some guests but there is dispute over who was allowed to be invited and who was allowed to be there, whether there were too many people there, who
12:37 pm
insulting whom and led up to the officers being there. but of course, we have heard from the police chief who said he is not happy and took him off. he is on paid administrateive leave. the mayor said he is disturbed and officials are not happy and a question of what will be the punishment and the decision. >> all right. jacob, thank you so much for the update on that wild story. turning now to politics they say in iowa if you build it they will come. >> indeed. >> gop 2016 hopefulthat this weekend a cattle call. casey hunt was along for the ride, literally. >> reporter: hogs pork and plenty of red meat. >> i really would be tempted on that general election debate stage to ask hillary if she's ever ridden on a john deere tractor. >> let me tell you to hillary clinton, your definition of flat broken and mine are different. >> reporter: the senator gathered seven contenders on
12:38 pm
saturday for the first annual roast and ride. eight months before the sit's caucuses. >> marco rubio probably. >> huckabee. >> governor of texas. >> reporter: the challenge is standing out from the crowd. rick perry riding with veterans taking it all in. >> smell the grass being cut. >> living freedom. riding free. being with a bunch of american heroes. >> reporter: wisconsin governor scott walker stopping to remember d-day on the invasion 71st anniversary. >> let's remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. >> reporter: the only one to ride to boon with ernst. >> rather be president of harley-davidson? >> it's a lot easier job. i don't think i have a shot at that one. >> reporter: on sage saturday marco rubio, within of the first to help the senate campaign and offered him a ride on the back of his bike because he's never been on one. >> my mom was terrified of motorcycles and used to traumatizing us about them. >> reporter: campaigning in ames
12:39 pm
speaking to a packed ballroom at the holiday inn and stayed there to save money and to try to show he's just like them. >> miami dolphins man. >> you won't find many miami dolphin fans in iowa. >> reporter: do you think it's a good place for the republican process to start? >> absolutely. >> reporter: it's not reflective of the country. >> it's americans. it's every day americans who live in the middle part of the country facing a same challenges and struggles as people everywhere else. >> casey hunt having all the fun for us in iowa. thank you so much. >> indeed. joining us is nbc senior political correspondent perry bacon. you little jealous you didn't get to ride on the harleys and the barbecue? >> it did look fun. it did look fun out there, i agree. >> start with mar cue rubio there. didn't want to ride on the back of the motorcycle. there's a lot of talk whether or not his changing stance on immigration would hurt him in the primary in particular. is there any sign that that's really being a hold-up for him with the base?
12:40 pm
>> you saw rubio being very smart there, casey asked him are the democrats -- iowa too white for the country and a wrong place to start and marco rubio is like of course it's representative and required to say. so i think this stage what i have heard so far from voters in terms of immigration is rubio, you know of course helped co-write the immigration bill in 2013 the one obama supported and since then renounced his support for it and i think it's the right place to go in terms of winning iowa people do not like that immigration bill there. so i think he is in the right place and he's been less like jeb bush is very forward in saying there has to be some kind of legalization for immigrants and rubio so far moved away from this and the right way to go for winning the primary. >> saw a lot of scott walker in the package. one of the few folks a lot of people think really could take it win this gop nomination over the weekend. he said he's open to going back into iraq.
12:41 pm
he eels also raising a lot of money, also very comfortable on a hog. as we see there. what do you think about scott walker's chance to be the representative of the standardbearer for the gop? >> a great chance right now. you see the polls in iowa showing he is ahead. people donors nationally like him. i put him with jeb bush and rubio as the three leading candidates right now. i was in iowa a couple of weeks ago. iowa's a place that likes to pick the underdogs, santorum won last time. huckabee before that. the people there like walker and still not -- he's still not the ultimate favorite there. people there who voted for huckabee last time santorum is still there. ted cruz. those evangelical voters want the most conservative person and not clear walker is there yet. >> a lot of times in the republican primaries of years past the folks to run before built on that way in a way that
12:42 pm
favored them. why do you think that is? >> you know the people who ran last time are not viewed as people to win the nomination. huckabee santorum you know they ran and showed they both huckabee and santorum those i talked to say we know they can't win the nomination and showing us they lost. and then with perry, there's a big question of republicans don't want to see him having oops moment against hillary clinton and then loses the election for them so they're nervous about the three but it's still really wide open in iowa. walker with 20% of the polls at the highest and you have 80% of people for somebody else and he's a front-runner and very small right now and iowa race depends on who does well on the ground there and i think that even bush could once he spends time and money there could make a dent in walker's advantage. >> lindsey graham was there and
12:43 pm
made comments to cnn about caitlyn jenner said that she is a republican and graham said in part that he hasn't walked in her shoes and tolerant, open-minded comments and saying she is welcome in my party. what did you think of those comments, perry? >> i wasn't surprised. it was an interview few weeks ago graham said essentially if the supreme court says that same-sex marriage is legal, the republican party should accept that and move on and talk about other issues. and i think that he is someone to get out of the culture war, get out of the fights of lgbt rights and talk about national security, economic policies and move away from that. i don't think that's the same view of other people in the republican party. i think that you'll likely see a ted cruz for example forcefully oppose any legalization of same-sex marriage and divides the parties of the base and the grahams more moderate. >> perry, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks guys. up next something special
12:44 pm
to work on here in "the cycle" next. this moment is perfect in every way. just like my kid. gooey. flakey. happy. toaster strudel you are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. can you spot the difference? no? you can't see that? alright, let's take a look. the one on the right just used 1% less fuel than the one on the left. now, to an airline

12:47 pm
or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr.com. june 19th we will have a special program as part of msnbc's growing hope series. i will be in oakland at a town hall-style meeting in conjunction with the yes we code folks mentoring that city's young workforce toward high-tech careers. 37 minutes from oakland. miles away coming to job
12:48 pm
integration. to kick it off for the next two weeks we look at jobs young people and mentoring. we begin with the organization called campus job. think of it as a sort of match.com for work. i like the sound of it already. at the table is liz wessel 24-year-old co-founder and ceo. please explain how campus job.com works and how you got started. >> absolutely. so thank you for having me. >> of course. glad to have you. >> campus job is online marketplace for college students to get jobs. anything from being a summer intern on wall street to a barista for starbucks and a driver for uber. the way it works is a student comes to the site. completely free with a dot-edu e-mail. we show them jobs they're qualified to apply for. instead of a student for art history jobs that require computer science degree we show you job that is you qualify for and then not wasting your time
12:49 pm
or the employers's time. >> a lot of interns or would be interns think that the system favors people with connections. >> yeah. >> for employers, you could see how sometimes it's beneficial to them to hire people they already know. how do you incentivize employers to join your program. >> absolutely. three things we do for employers coming on are number one save them time money and we have part-time workers with the college age democratic see a lot of churn and take whatever they can get and we started this business we surveyed thousands of students saying how did you get your last part-time job and internship and not the career service center or the card board sign but their mom's best friend or their uncle or whatever it might be and we decided we want to help combat that nepotism. so we're saving employers a lot of time a lot of money, an example of how we save them time
12:50 pm
is signing up for the site they tell us how many applicants to receive and then when they do the job is taken down and not inundated with thousands of resumes. the median amount of time the amount of time a job is up on our site is 52 hours, like 2 days. really fast-paced stuff. >> got to get on it. >> exactly. >> kudos to you. >> thank you. >> this is amazing, a brilliant idea. >> it is. >> it takes a lot of courage to start something from scratch. it's already had great sackuccesssuccess. kudos to you. what do employers want out of applicants? >> absolutely. it completely depends on the type of job. for example, the ones we see in san francisco are typically looking for computer science students as you would expect. a lot of folks in new york are looking for business-minded students. really demendspends on the type of employer. one thing that's fascinating, employers don't care about gpa but care much more whether or not the student has work experience which of course becomes this chicken and egg
12:51 pm
problem where students come to our site to get that work experience so they can then be, you know -- >> have the work experience to get hired. >> exactly. exactly. >> liz this is ari in washington. great news about employers. i know a lot of students don't care about gpa either. >> exactly. >> always nice to find something in common. as krystal was mentioning, your story, itself, separate from the company was interesting. you were getting millions of dollars in venture funding here in your young 20s. i read you said previously, you felt like, gosh am i kind of faking it or do i deserve or feel like i've earned the steps i'm taking which of course in the literature they call the imposter syndrome that many people at many ages even after success or accreditation have that feeling. talk a little bit how i would say at a very young age, you've been overcoming that? >> absolutely. so i actually turned 25 yesterday, so now i'm -- >> happy birthday. >> my son's birthday was yesterday. >> june 7 th. great day. there we go. really great day.
12:52 pm
so for the most part imposter syndrome is definitely one way to put it. i think one thing we were so surprised by my co-founder j.j. and i, when we were going around fund-raising, it's such a normal thing to want to solve. i mean you want to help college students get jobs. half the people i tell what we're doing to they say, i had that idea ten years ago. we say, yeah, you and everyone else. it's a matter of how are you going to execute and get users to want to use your platform and pay for the service? one thing we were surprised by is so many investors said we're on board. this is a problem we felt 50 years ago, you know, for the older investors, or two years ago for the younger investors. so i think it was just kind of shocking by how quickly everyone grabbed onto the idea. >> so you're making money on this? >> so we are making -- we've been generating revenue from day one actually of launch. >> that's amazing. >> been exciting. >> good for you. making money and helping people. fantastic. congratulations, liz. >> thank you so much.

attention, but now is a good time to start thinking about how you want things to be. [ male announcer ] go long™. for me the story of caitlyn jenner takes me back to 1976 when bruce jenner was becoming an american hero at the olympics, while on the other side of the sports world, a woman was fighting to be part of the tennis tour a woman named renee richards who had been born richard raskind. >> renee richards has become the source of international controversy. is she male or is she female?
12:57 pm
>> i'm a woman like everyone else. ask me how the match went instead. >> raskind grew up in new york and became the captain of the yale men's tennis team and best college tennis player in the country. graduated and became a renowned ophthalmologist. meanwhile, richard felt the desire to be a woman and experimented from cross dressing. in college, he named his female identity renee french for reborn. after walking into a sexual reassignment clinic in casa blank bclanca, walking out in fear stuffing renee back in the closet, having a baby richard finally transitioned. 196 76 renee started playing women's tennis tournaments. massive controversy ensued as if the identity of women's sports was at stake. she entered a pro tournament in new jersey and most of the
12:58 pm
players withdrew in protest. players came to tournaments wearing t-shirts saying "i am a real woman." when renee treeied to enter the u.s. open they entered a chromosome test for entry. she sued. billy jean king publicly supported her. chris everett, number one in the world, was uncertain whether she should be allowed in the tour. others worried men would transition and dominate or change's women's tournament. renee's lawsuit, richards v. united states tennis association met the supreme court where the judge ruled this person is now a female and a gender test was grossly unfair. she had to be allowed to play in the 197 7 u.s. open. she did and lost in the first round but made it to the doubles final where she lost to a tandem. how she played however, is
12:59 pm
immaterial. she was included. and at that moment the universe of women in sports expanded to include a transgender woman and critically that universe did not implode. renee reached number 20 in the wta rankings that year and played until 1981 but nowadays she looks back on her inclusion into pro sports with different eyes. she said "maybe not even i should have been allowed to play on the women's tour. maybe i should have knuckled under and said that's one thing i can't have as my newfound right in being a woman." a few years ago on espn, she said it this way. >> the standpoint of my own performance and my own strength and my own abilities, i'm not sure that i agree with the international olympic committee. >> but in many eyes renee remains a hero. part of the first class of inductees into the national gay and lesbian sports hall of fame. one of her wooden rackets is now
