[inaudible >> very busy today no time to help you. >> it is favored for a sweep o some of the top awards at th oscars tonight everything everywhere all at once's boys to mark a histor changing moment for asia actress. we start with breaking news of the coast of san diego where

eight people were found dead after two suspected smugglin boat collided overnight. dana williams is there on th ground thank you for joining us we appreciate it give us an update, if you will on this developing story >> yasmin, absolutely. it's incredibly tragic news fo those of us to wake up to here on the west coast. like you said, we just wrapped up a press conference here a lifeguard headquarters i mission late we heard from a lifeguard chie who actually said this is th most tragic maritime smuggling incident he can remember in sa diego and maybe even i california here's what we know. the incident happened overnigh about eight miles off the coas in an area called la jolla it specifically happened tha black speech they got a 9-1-1 call in between 11:30 and midnight fro a spanish speaker. that person told him that ther were five votes at black

speech one had five people on and one had eight. they said it was an incredibly difficult area it was foggy overnight as well as that area is known to hav sandbar's. when lifeguards got there, i was an incredibly tragic scene they looked in the water and they look to shore and sai they found seven bodies at first. when cbp air came, they foun one more there were a total body is found. they didn't find any survivors we spoke with the coast guar as well. since 2021, there are actually 23 known maritime smugglin deaths this just adds to it already a large number even in the pas five years since 2017 -- they said the percentage o maritime smuggling incidents has increased 771% that effort to rescue and find survivors in the open incident here in a law will continu today.

u.s. coast guard said over the fog overnight because they could not spend much time in the air looking even with nigh vision goggles visibility was down to 5 yards. they are going to get back u there this morning if they aren't already they are going to continue t look through lunch after that, we will figure out what to do next. we will try to have update later for you. yasmin >> dana williams of ou affiliate, we thank you. i want to get to now cruel lie which is how the state department spokesperson ne price described the assertio that iranian - iran's foreign minister made the statement on state t saying this -- iran and the u.s. have reached an agreement for the swap of prisoners. according to the state department, that's untrue. nbc foreign correspondent -- bringing us updates. this is hitting our inbo earlier today. it seemed so resolute. the iranian government -

the state department pushe back talk us through what we ar hearing. >> yeah it, what we know yasmin, is, like you mentioned the statements were made by th iranian foreign minister o iranian state tv he said there was disagreement this deal made between iran an the united states. iran was ready to go forward with this prisoner swap. he was just waiting on the u.s to sort things out he was hopeful that in the coming days this person or swa would actually happen. he did not put forward any evidence or any further detail about this no further specifics wer given. we are hearing from the united states the state department said this is a cruel lie this is not true in fact, ned price, th spokesperson for the state department, camo the statement i want to read for you statements from irania officials that a deal regardin the exchange of prisoners ha been reached our another especially cooler that onl

adds to the suffering of their families we are working relentlessly to secure their release of th three wrongfully detaine iranians in -- he goes on to say that unite us will not stop until they ar reunited with their families we know that there have been i direct negotiations an conversations happening with regard to this prisoner swap ideal has not been reached according to the united states it's also worth mentioning tha we have seen a similar situation play out with th iranian government before, making accusations that did no materialize. experts say it is likely t sway public opinion. >> megan fitzgerald, thank you let's talk about former vice president mike pence now who i no longer tiptoeing around his opinion of former presiden donald trump at a speech at the annua gridiron dinner in washington, d.c., pence delivered hi harshest rebuke of trump t

date, saying this. president trump was wrong an his reckless words endangere my family and everyone in th capitol on that day. i know that history will hol donald trump accountable i want to bring in jonatha allen. i want to say that it's abou darn time, jonathan, that th vice president speaks this way how motivated th insurrectionists are to find - blaming him for not acting o behalf of the former president what does this comment say >> there's a real duality here he has been. as we alluded to, pence is

probably going to get into the presidential race. mike pence prevented that from happening in his own life. on the other hand, when he say history will hold donald trump accountable, he's leaving open very much the possibility that it won't hold donald trump accountable. mike pence heavily involved in the question of who is going t testify, what they are going t say about donald trump jack smith wants to talk t pence. pence is trying to block tha with executive privilege there is a piece of th argument that pence is making. he doesn't think that th washington - only history >> so, you are kind of reading between the lines here i want to pull on that thread. that's what i was thinking how is it that they ca reconcile not wanting to

testify in front of the specia counsel after being subpoenaed seeing something like this a the gridiron dinner -- yes, there were no cameras there, but things like we know where he stands on this. we know what he said >> i mean, i think he settin up to make an argument my analysis is that he's setting up - we've said this before he's not really sure that what donald trump did was illegal he has the sort of construct devised where donald trump i something that should be judge poorly by history, poorly by republican primary voters, and poorly, perhaps, my god but no by the justice department. i think he's trying to come up with the way to be able to say to folks that, you know, h

abided by the law, by th letter of the law, and was not -- even though trump alread supported the people who yelle enchanted for pence to b hanged >> it is in line with what a lot of republicans are sayin especially with the release of some of the tapes by tucke carlson. they essentially said, w should be moving on from january 6th. i don't know why we are talkin about this mike pence got up there an said, okay, condemning the former president but als moving on from this to condemn donald trump anyway. i quickly do you want to tal about donald trump hitting iow on monday after desantis's visit and specifically thi poll it's not looking great for donald trump right about now 22 point drop, i believe, from 2021 looking at 69% back in 2021 fo support of the forme president. it is now at 47%

what do you make of thos numbers ahead of his visit tomorrow >> i mostly make of the number that that republican voters in general are open to anothe candidate. donald trump lost the last presidential election. when someone loses a presidential election, there are party spits on them. they are persona non grata think about how mitt romney wa treated after he lost and ho john mccain was treated afte he lost. you would think that that woul potentially happen to trump. the question is, will th person who has been a second - is he the person tha republicans become comfortable with we want this alternative most of the republicans talked to say that they woul prefer somebody else or they'r thinking about someone else. they haven't ruled out being for trump. >> when you think you, jonatha

allen. speaking of donald trump, he has a lot more to worry abou that is former vice president. alvin bragg spoke publicly msnbc exclusive about hi offices probe into hush mone payments to stormy daniels >> we have an active investigation. many observed last year that the trial of the trump organization - the same team working with the same professionalism and rigor unconstrained from sayin anymore than that. i do want to prejudice and investigation. >> we follow the facts it doesn't matter what you party is what did you do? what is the law say? >> looking ahead to tomorrow michael cohen is set to appear before a grand jury. that's an invitation we no know has been extended to trum himself. i want to bring in legal analyst harry lippman to tal more about all of this let me just first get your thoughts on alvin bragg'

decision to appear publicly an give this interview to the rev yesterday evening. all of this news is breaking >> right i'm a bit of a foodie daddy. i came from the federal side he has to stand for election he was appropriately circumspect. he said nothing in particula about the investigation and in many ways he downplayed what most observers would say he is gung ho and they're goin to indict and soon in that sense, he was very cautious i guess that's the name of the game with elected prosecutors. >> you are one of the firs people that i saw on twitter who also mentioned the fou fulton county da and how thi could feasibly - the charging decisions for the manhattan da might feasibl effect fani willis at a fulton county how could it affect he charging decisions going forward? >> right i was wanting to contrast it with the doj and jackson wit

which i don't think will b affected he's also -- she has sort of been a lap out front. there is a sense in which he i stealing her thunder that being said, all of that will pale a few months from no after they both probably > that will fade a bit into obscurity. she's not able to do this sort of pr tour that bragg is doing she is not quite ready does that put a bit of a fir under her because we have been hearing that those charges are quote unquote imminent for quite some time? maybe. the big thing is i caution everyone in both these cases t think about it after the fac because there's going to b months if not more pre trial squabbling and litigatio before there is actually a jur sworn in in either case. >> you are of the key word o eminent. that was reported in january

fani willis other starting decisions were going to be imminent it's now marsh we still have not hear anything from that considering the stage on which it seems brag is that when thi investigation and the ask of the former president to testify, which one do we see dropping first? >> probably as one trump will not testify he's invited to do with this week the other step would be hi lawyers coming into try to top bragg out of it. they can demand under new york law certain information to b in front of the grand jury they said they don't want to d it that would be malpractice, essentially. i think they will avai themselves of that opportunity that could take a couple o weeks. that is all that is left one thing to note about fani willis's case -- it's much bigger and mor complicated, sprawling it involves many mor defendants he's a straightforward we hear there have been abou

seven witnesses in the grand jury the star attorneys tomorro with michael cohen i expect he is now in the pole position, as it were >> harry lippman, great to tal to you still ahead, democrati congresswoman ilhan omar fro pence's new comments on januar 6th to her for us removal from the foreign affairs committee. we will dive into it all wit her. that's at 3 pm eastern right here on msnbc. you don't want to miss tha conversation ahead plus, treasury secretary janet yellen indicates there will be no bailout for selleck o valley bank. up next, we're going to look a the real world impact this i already having with the academy awards tonight, why praise for everythin everywhere all at once is so significant. significant.

silicon valley operates on pacific time i gave it time i realize the wires did not go through even when i expected them to. shortly thereafter, i saw th news that the bank had in fact collapsed and then taken ove by the fdic. >> what does this mean for you right now for your company and for your family? >> friday, i would say it wa the hardest able friday it was payday for m team as far as i can see, the funds had been deposited from ou account on thursday. i could not confirm for th entirety of the day that those funds were actually going to hit the bank accounts of m staff. i spent the entirety of friday trying to make sure that tha happened over the weekend, we finally were hearing from everyone o the team they had been paid. that was a big sigh of relie for us for us, we did have anothe bank account where w maintained some amount o funding.

given that we had payday o friday, we have a little bit o time we are not as bad off as many, many other founders and smal and medium sized businesse which were impacted by thi which are failing to find th funding that they need to pa payroll monday and tuesday i feel really fortunate in tha regard we have a bit of time here for us, really, this is abou the opportunity to kee building it's about the futur opportunity of our company our team is paid we can run the next payroll. we can continue service an customers. our customers haven't been interrupted anyway, shape, o form i don't expect them to be. this really is going to kneeca us and limit our ability t continue to grow as of this point, until we kno more from the fdic on what w can expect, we are planning in increments of two weeks at a time >> that's exactly right.

day, and frankly, they mov slow a lot of their tools really di not meet the needs of my business that's why we ended up banking with the silicon valley bank they were very much set up t meet the needs of young an growing start-ups. that was incredibly helpful fo me i'm sad to see this all happen i would like to personally say a stricter degree of regulation as a business owner an consumer, i want to be able to help have more confidenc throughout the institutions in which we are holding our money >> will you stay in touch with us as this thing progresses and develops, we certainly want to stay on top of how businesses, small businesses like yours ar doing. we appreciate you sharing your story. thank you. >> thank you so much for havin me >> coming up, everyone, we hav a lot more ahead why ukrainian forces are refusing to withdraw from th

here yeah, it's been an incredibl year to watch everything tak off. one thing that keeps playing i my mind to something that on of the actors in the film wh is 94 this year said at the sa awards when he started acting 70 year ago, his first film was with clark gable. producers back then would sa that agents were not box office they didn't sell films part of what i want to say i my op-ed is that if you go bac and look at the history, that' actually not true. from the very beginning, we ha people - she became an internationa star women went crazy we had anna may won when writing a biography of she was in the leading lady an one of the first color films

made by technicolor. she later went on to greater stardom. this idea that asians can' lead films and cannot resonate with audiences of all stripe is just a false narrative that we have been told. 100 years later, we're finally seeing a film which could just blow past all the barriers >> you mentioned - i want to read a part of wha that really stood out to me. asian americans have been part of hollywood's hi earliest days, makin significant contribution despite formidable obstacles b their names and artistry hav been forgotten, overlooked, or will fully erased. it all started with anna may wong, as you just mentioned, the first asian movie's ar born in the united states. you're writing a biography o her. what is her story, if you ca tell us briefly? >> sure. she was an incredible woman an born in los angeles in 1905.

her dad operated a laundry not too far from china town in downtown l.a.. she was in a los angeles right at the time when movie studios were moving from new york an new jersey to l.a. she saw people filming in th streets. she look at that and said, you know what? i want to do that. i'm going to be a movie star she did. she stuck her foot in the door and went to studios all over hollywood while she was stil in high school he started acting as an extr at age 15. she did see a lot of challenge throughout her career an lifetime when she got stuck, she wa very resilient she actually went to europe in 1928 where she could actuall get a leading lady parks she was very successful there. she came back an international star and got a contract with paramount. there were a lot of abs an flows like that throughout her career she most famously did not ge

the part for the leading rol in the good earth which was film about chinese farmers that comes up quite a bit. you can see the parallels. it's amazing to see michelle i this type of role that she can express like the full range of her acting chops and get nominated for an oscar one of the other things i thin about is that you can't really win an award for a role you're not given, you're not allowe to play. that's what happened to anna may wong it's kind of a sweet victory t see michelle yeoh and othe actors in a position to win an maybe even sweep the authors >> we will be watching that's for darn sure katie gee salisbury, we than you. snl, everybody, took on th fallout from last year's oscar slap in its gold opened with maria lopez interview in the new head of security mik
