a lot more to cover on this second hour of "chris jansing reports" including the astonishing video of a convicted killer escaping from a pennsylvania prison by crab walking up the walls and the serious questions it raises, where were the guards, and what's next for the man hunt that has paralyzed a community. also ahead, the plea deal controversy, president biden rejecting demands from the accuse the 9/11 master mind and four other detainees, what they wanted and the one offer that could spare their lives. the major development in the hunter biden saga and what it would mean for the president, joe biden's son, no facing an indictment before the month is over. what we're hearing from the special counsel. and what's next after mitch mcconnell rebuffed any thoughts of retirement? his vow to finish his set term

after addressing his health scares with colleagues in private. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments, and we start with nbc's emilie ikeda outside the chester county prison where all the talk is about what i would call a compulsively watchable video of that inmate's escape. we just found out there's a 3:00 news conference in chester county. any indication of what that might be about? >> reporter: well, we know that the search zone continues to shift and expand, so we are hoping that we'll get some kind of update and a positive one, but no sign that he has been since caught because we continue to hear the whir of the helicopters, we continue to see the massive amounts of road closures, but we'll have to wait and see at 3:00 p.m., chris. >> emilie, give us a little bit of a background about what they're saying about this video because obviously they released it, but when you look at it, you think how was this allowed to

happen. what did the sheriff have to say? what did officials there have to say? >> reporter: well, especially, chris, when you consider the fact that there was an inmate here at chester county prison that escaped in a similar manner just a few months ago. now, while they took similar approaches, there were a few key differences that played out back in may. one being the fact that a tower guard had eyes on that inmate back in may the entire time allowing him to be apprehended within just a matter of minutes, five minutes. with this latest incident, the escape from cavalcante, the tower guard we're told from authorities did not notice he had been making a run for it. you can see the stunning escape there, his hands on one side, his feet on the other wall and he shimmied up the wall before going through two rounds of razor wire and making a run for it. he essentially got an hour head start. that's how long it took before the prison was eventually put on lockdown last thursday morning.

prison officials said after the mate may escape, they ramped up prison measures but after cavalcante's escape, not enough. >> we did have a consulting firm come out and identify how the inmate escaped. we thought we prevented that. the one thing we didn't take into account was a failure on the human side, we only focused on the physical infrastructure. >> reporter: so as a result of this latest escape, they are going to be ramping up security measures here at chester county prison, including take a look al sot of the measures they're hoping to implement in the next couple of days. they want to fully enclose the exercise area which is where both of the inmates had escaped from. they want to install more security cameras as well as adjust officers' position outside. we know as i mentioned before, the search zone continues to shift and expand. they do believe, the police say they are confident that cavalcante is still within their

perimeter, but we're hoping to get more updates in the next hour during the 3:00 p.m. news conference. chris, one last thing, they are upping the reward, now $20,000 for information leading to his recapture. >> he made it look pretty easy. 3:00, that press conference, and we'll bring it to folks. thank you, emilie ikeda, keep us posted. now to the fight over plea deals for five men accused in the 9/11 attack. i want to bring in nbc white house correspondent monica alba. president biden has taken a clear stand on this, monica. tell us about it. >> a clear stand, chris, on a really complicated issue that, of course, goes back years. so these five detainees were trying to seek some conditions for a possible plea agreement, essentially they would plead guilty to aiding the attacks of september 11th, if in exchange they were promised things like care for torture-related trauma or the promise of avoiding solitary confinement.

so that is what their lawyers were seeking and the white house was asked about a year and a half ago to weigh in on what they think about all of this. we learned yesterday that president biden agrees with the secretary of defense, lloyd austin that those conditions should not be agreed to in order to reach some of those plea deals. they're also arguing here, because it's not the white house's place to necessarily decide how that should go, that should really be up to a military commission that is going through and reviewing this, but still the fact that the president has now weighed in, has concurred with the defense secretary that that likely means it will be much harder to get to these kinds of plea deals that they have been trying to get to for years now. and presidents in the past have pledged to try to move detainees out of guantanamo to close the prison. we know of course there's a lot of diplomatic complication there, and some have been moved in recent years to third party

countries and that would be what would have to happen here, and so if these agreements and deals cannot be reached, there is that major question that will potentially confront whoever the next president is, even years down the line before this is resolved. there are still a few dozen detainees who are still at guantanamo as of now, chris, and at the right, remember, there were more than 600 or so there. >> monica alba, thank you. to the major development in the hunter biden investigation, and what we're hearing from the special counsel. nbc's ken dilanian has the latest on that, ken. >> reporter: this has become a much more serious legal situation for hunter biden. david weiss saying in a court filing that he intended to move to indict mr. biden before the end of this month, and his filing doesn't specify exactly the charges. it mentions both tax charges and the gun charge that hunter biden was going to enter a diversion program which is now not on the table, according to the

prosecution. the issue here is that once the plea deal fell apart, and david weiss was named as special counsel, he had the authority to bring those tax charges in the jurisdictions where they occurred, which is central california and washington, d.c., and he's on a clock, a speedy trial clock, and it has to be done before september. so he's saying he's moving forward, so unless they reach another deal, it looks like hunter biden is going to face more serious charges than the ones he was prepared to plead guilty to. that's the consequence of a plea deal falling apart. it fell apart because the two sides couldn't agree on whether it left hunter biden immune from future charges. he was continuing to investigate hunter biden's overseas business dealings. the bottom line is we're likely to see some kind of trial in the middle of joe biden's campaign for president. it's both a considerable legal headache for hunter biden and a political nightmare for joe

biden. back to you. >> ken dilanian, thanks for that. let's go to capitol hill now, back to business after senate minority leader mitch mcconnell made it clear he plans to finish his term despite recent health scares. msnbc's sahil kapur is following more for us. >> reporter: senator mcconnell has bookended the summer recess with two freeze ups on camera. he's back. he insists he's fine. he insists he's not going anywhere, and is telling his republican members privately the same thing he's telling reporters publicly, look at this doctor's note. he is citing a letter by the capitol attending physician who examined him he said after that august 30th incident and said at the time he was examined there's no evidence that he had a seizure disorder or experienced a stroke, tia or movement disorder such as parkinson's disease. mcconnell was peppered with questions about his health yesterday. he had very little to say other than points to that note.

have a listen. >> dr. monahan's report addressed concerns people might have in some things that happened to me, did happen. and really, i have nothing to add to that. i think he pretty well covered the subject. i'm going to finish my term as leader, and i'm going to finish my senate term. >> reporter: now his term as leader ends currently in january of 2025. his term as a senator from kentucky ends in january of 2027. the only people in that window who might have a say in alternate plans for him would be the other 48 republican senators and there's no evidence at this point that there's a movement afoot publicly or privately to push him out. listen to what some senate republican members are saying about mcconnell. >> leader mcconnell looked better yesterday than he did before we went to break. i have seen a steady improvement

in his strength since recovering from his concussion. >> today he seemed chipper and in good shape, said he's got a clean bill to keep going forward. >> he seemed quite capable of doing his job. >> reporter: notable, chris, that mcconnell has a share of detractors in the senate republican conference, 11 members did not vote for him in the last leadership election, which is far more than unusual. these two incidents have not crushed their confidence in him to continue in that role. he's 81, the longest serving senate leader in history. chris. >> sahil kapur, thank you for that. prison sentences totaling 700 years, and an ever growing mountain of legal fees, a look at the staggering toll of trump's election lies on hundreds of his supporters. we're back in 60 seconds. we're back in 60 seconds e without cuddles. but, you also can't leave covered in hair. with bounce pet, you can cuddle and brush that hair off. bounce. it's the sheet.

today that he may try to have his election interference case moved out of state court and into federal court. it comes in a week that has given us repeated clear examples of the growing pressure facing anyone indicted or charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election. a new "washington post" analysis put the total sentences related to january 6th alone at about 700 years. at least 10 of those people serving a decade or more. and then there's peter navarro's suggestion that his case could cost a million dollars or more if it winds up going to the supreme court, and rudy giuliani has been complaining for a while now that he's broke. but tonight, he'll actually get some help from donald trump who is hosting a fundraiser for the former mayor at his golf club in new jersey. i want to bring in nbc's julie tsirkin who has been following the events in georgia. carol leonnig, and msnbc contributor, and coawe tor of multiple books about donald

trump. glen kirschner, and greg bluestein, political reporter for the "atlanta journal-constitution" and msnbc political contributor, and author of the book "flipped." julie what more do we know about the notification that donald trump's attorneys submitted to fulton county court today. >> reporter: it's not exactly surprising because the former president's lawyers hinted he may try to do this. in the court filing submitted to the judge overseeing the subversion case, president trump's lawyer says president trump notifies the court he may seek removal. may is the keyword here, of his prosecution to federal court. remember, he has to submit an official notice of his removal within 30 days of his arraignment. but since he waived his arraignment, instead pleading not guilty, the 30 day clock started from that day, and trump would be subject to a more favorable jury pool if this moved to federal court where his former chief of staff mark meadows and four other defendants are already trying to

make that happen, citing their rules as federal officials or having worked under federal officials. in this case, of course, former president trump was acting capacity as a federal official, as the president of the united states, and it will be interesting to watch to see what he does here, if he officially makes this move to move it to federal court. yesterday, you'll remember the judge overseeing this case sort of dismissed the district attorney fani willis's suggestion and hope that she hopes and intends all 19 defendants will be tried simultaneously. he said, quote, he's very skeptical of willis's plan because of the motions that can derail the start of the hearing. we heard of course from the five including now potentially in addition to former president trying to move this to federal court. you have kenneth chesebro, and sidney powell trying to make motions for a speedy trial. because of all of this, we don't know when the trial is starting and where it will start, whether it will be in federal court at the state level, which

jurisdiction, to many questions on the table, and the potential motion set to complicate things further. >> thanks for that. glenn, any surprise here in would you expect this to become a formal notification that he wants to move to federal court? >> the only surprise is that filing a motion that i may do something is not really a legal thing. i would expect the judge would say thank you very much for alerting me you may do something. why don't you go ahead and file a notice of removal if that is what you intend to do. i'm not quite sure what he tried to accomplish with this. delay is always a safe bet, but, you know, chris, if mark meadows has an up hill climb getting his case removed because some of what he did on behalf of donald trump he claims was within the scope of his official uties as chief of staff, donald trump has a cliff to climb. i don't think he'll make that

climb. two jurisdictions have criminally indicted donald trump for what he did on or around january 6th to unlawfully retain the power of presidency. i find it hard to believe that the federal judge would rule those were within the scope of duties such that his case should be moved from georgia state court to federal court. >> we know what's going on with sidney powell, kenneth chesebro. there are a lot of codefendants we haven't heard from. they're facing not just a lot of legal battles, but potentially lengthy sentences. i thought the breakdown in your paper was fascinating and could serve as a cautionary tale for people with indictments against them. tell us about your reporting for "the washington post." >> the big picture as described in the analysis by any

colleagues at the post, how this started was essentially a call to a rally. the call was from donald trump on december 19th in which he said, be there, will be wild. he used his power of the megaphone to bring people on january 6th to help him block the certification of the election, an election he had lost fair and square. he somehow got hundreds and thousands of people committed to blocking what had typically been viewed as an incredibly geeky, pro forma event, the certification of a free and fair democratic election. those people who were involved in crossing the rubicon, breaking through police barriers, attacking police officers, both mpd in d.c., and also capitol hill police. those individuals who crossed that barrier, broke into the capitol essentially began engaging in violence, pepper

spray, swords, batons, flag poles, fire extinguishers, these were all the weapons they used against law officers. those folks are now in total facing 700 years in prison and many of them, more than 100 have cited donald trump as the reason they came to washington on that day. the reason, of course, they can't blame him entirely, but the motivator for them coming to washington and their belief that they could do something about an election that they were told was stolen. more than 100 of them have identified him, and now you have lawyers for prominent rioters, such as the lawyer for joe biggs saying his client was sold a lie. essentially he's acknowledging that donald trump sold these individuals a lie who then went on to attack the capitol, and attack police.

>> greg, let's talk about fani willis's case because what we learned yesterday as we're looking at 150 plus witnesses on the prosecution's side, which one might be led to believe could argue against the prosecution being willing to flip anyone, but you have to look at that possibility from the perspective of the indicted because we are looking agent huge legal bills. we've heard multiple people complaining about it. and the reality that when you look in total just at the january 6th prosecutions, we're looking at 700 years of incarceration, what are you hearing about the status of fani willis's case from inside the courthouse or from your sources? >> yeah, when i heard the estimate from fulton county prosecutors yesterday, the trial could be four months without -- this is excludeing jury selection, so we're talking multiple ones in addition to that. one of the things i thought,

this is going to calculate thousands of legal hours, of man hours for local fees. donald trump can tap his donors to pay for it. he can hold a fundraiser to maybe help pay for it. some of these defendants are looking at enormous cost of litigation. they're going to have to foot for themselves, and that might encourage them even more so to cooperate with prosecutors, and it wouldn't be the first. we know that eight of the so-called fake electors have agreed to immunity deals, potentially, you know, signal that they are cooperating with prosecutors as well. i think the pressure is just going to rise for some of those defendants, especially for some of the lesser known defendants who can't tap enormous resources to pay the bills. >> we aren't just talking about georgia. we learned just in the last day that the i.t. manager cut a deal to work with prosecutors last summer. what are the considerations that would go into deciding whether to offer people a deal at this point.

this case already looks like they've got an awful lot of paces covered with that many witnesses. >> yeah, there are so many things that go into the consideration of prosecutors with respect to who to approach for possible cooperation, and what kind of a plea offer to extend. one of the most important principles, guiding principles for prosecutors is if you have somebody, chris, with significant criminal exposure, you really need to have them take responsibility for their own crimes before a jury is likely to believe their testimony about the crimes of others. if you get immunity, for example, to somebody who has significant criminal exposure, the defense attorneys will pounce on that and say, of course, this cooperating witness is going to say anything the prosecution wants them to say. they basically delivered the keys to the jail to the cooperating witness. but i think once we have, you know, the i.t. director down at

mar-a-lago agree to flip and cooperate, which really does put donald trump and the other two codefendants, walt nauta and carlos, in more jeopardy. it can serve as a catalyst for other people who might then decide to save themselves rather than to continue to side with donald trump. >> greg, have you heard anything from bill willis's team about whether they can handle a trial with 19, 17 defendants next month? >> yeah, her office has always been very clear that she wants to try all 19 defendants, and we have two separations, but she wants to try all 19 defendants in fulton county in her home court at the same time. the judge raised significant issues, logistical issues such

as how you fit all of those defendants in one courtroom with such heavy publicity surrounding it, and remember, of course, beyond the donald trump expected motions to move to federal court, you already have five other motions from codefendants to remove the case to federal court and the judge noted that could complicate the entire time line as well as whatever ruling comes out, there will be appeals, there will be appeals, all sorts of legal wrangling around that. >> can i ask you about this event at bedminster, trump helping to raise money for rouge. -- rudy giuliani. why him of all the people who have been indicted on his half, and so many who are saying they are in financial trouble and wanting his help, why do you think rudy giuliani and why now? >> i can only look back to their history together rather than speculate about the current situation and the future.

in the past, rudy giuliani has been the closest you could get to the president, the closest you could get to a confidant and adviser who donald trump stored a lot of secrets with, donald trump confided a lot of information with rudy giuliani about what he wanted to do about robert mueller, about what he wanted to do about impeachment, about how he wanted to handle ukraine. remember, rudy giuliani is essentially the president's cudgel on a series of things that the former president was engaged in. the effort to try to, before he sought reelection, to try to blame joe biden as being corrupt and involved in some scam in ukraine, rudy was the person who was digging up that information, and in the case of january 6th and this effort to keep hold of

power, to use every level, forgive me, every lever in the oval office to stay in power, despite an election he lost, donald trump relied on refugee rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani led the warm room effort at the willard. he was the person calling down to states to figure out whether or not they could get a slate of separate so-called alternate or as others called them fraudulent electors. rudy sort of holds the keys to the kingdom, if you will, on what the president at the time was doing, what donald trump was thinking, what he was advising. >> now, let's see how tightly he holds on to those keys. carol leonnig, greg bluestein, thank you very much. a new addition to the 1,100 people charged in connection with january 6th, a virginia man arrested wednesday for allegedly helping attack a police officer that day. lewis snootz is facing multiple accounts including felony assault after he allegedly

grabbed officer michael fanone and pulled him into the ground. video shows he held fanone's arm, preventing him from defending himself as another rioters shot the officer with his own taser. fanone subsequently suffered a heart attack and other serious injuries. brand new poll numbers, not looking good for president biden, but the campaign veteran who helped the last democratic president get reelected says it's not time to panic just yet. he joins me next on "chris jansing reports" only on kavm kavp. msnbc. msnbc you're looking for in a, msnbc. msnbc. ee msnbc. t. msnbc. msnbc it a m you feel no wetness. - oh my gosh! - totally absorbed! i got to get some always discreet!

as president biden's reelection effort shifts into the next gear, new polling suggests he's got some major work to do to convince voters to give him four more years on the job. this new poll reveals only 39% approve of the job he's doing right now, and in hypothetical match ups against six of his would be republican rivals, the president is either trailing or tied with every candidate except vivek ramaswamy, and the only match up outside the polls margin of error is against nikki haley. who actually leads biden by 6 points, but our next guest has a message for nervous democrats. he's the man who successfully reelected the last democratic president, jim messina who served as campaign manager for barack obama's 2012 reelection campaign. good to see you.

jim, you have said basically to democrats, i think this actually is your word, stop the bedwetting. what's your larger message here? >> that, look, polls 15 months out are just distractions, there wasn't a poll this time in 2011 that showed barack obama winning reelection, in fact, "the new york times" magazine put him on the cover and said he was toast. yet he won handily. if you look at what matters, and i tried while every democrat was calling me losing their minds, put aside the rhetoric, and look at who has the best hand, who has gotten these things done, historic achievements, who has already beaten donald trump once, and has the united democratic party behind him, and that's joe biden, so i think democrats need to take a deep breath, realize the polls are going to suck for a little while as they did for barack obama, and next year when it's trump versus biden, we will win that race again. >> let me ask you, jim, about

two things that barack obama definitively did not have that are happening now and are unprecedented. first of all, obviously he is running against someone who is under multiple indictments in multiple states, but has unbelievable support within his own party. i think that his ability to rally the base is unlike most of what we have seen in the past. there's also until the same poll, 61% of americans who say they believe that joe biden, while serving as vp had some involvement in hunter biden's business dealings. so when you take those two things together, do they concern you, and do they tell you that maybe looking at where barack obama was when you were helping him win reelection, really isn't analogous to what we're seeing now? >> what i think is true is we're running against donald trump, and he has the largest lead we have ever seen in the history of primaries.

he's going to walk away with this primary, and you can see that in the debates, chris, because people aren't really hitting him very hard because they're all getting ready to be his vp pick, and so i think we're running against donald trump, and what's different than last time is to your exact perfect point, his 91 felony charges against him. this election will be close, it's an american political election, they're all really close, and my message to democrats are could donald trump win, yes, he could, but joe biden's the best candidate to be against him, and the reason i say that is in the states that matter, and we don't have a national election sadly, we have a series of state battles and in the seven states who are going to decide this election, joe biden is demonstrably the best candidate against donald trump. >> so do you think that what's going on in georgia actually helps president biden there? >> look, i do. i absolutely do, and i think it's a distraction. the trump campaign is going to have to deal with. i mean, you've seen the dates you have had great reporting on. in the middle of campaigning for

the president of the united states, he's going to have four separate states going after him in court. the swing voters just have not begun to process this, and georgia is of course one of the seven states that is going to decide this election, and it's absolutely a problem that he is being prosecuted, you know, in a republican state by republicans. it's absolutely a problem for the former president. >> jim messina, always love having you on the program, thank you so much for coming on. the fda could green light new covid boosters as early as tomorrow, but for some, they may not be so easy to get. we'll explain that next. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. g "chrisg reports" only on msnbc (dad) we got our subaru forester wilderness to discover all of the places that make us feel something more.

we have some exclusive reporting from nbc news. the next round of covid booster vaccines could be green lit by tomorrow. but for the first time, they won't be free for everyone. four people familiar with the agency's plan say the fda could move forward with authorization as early as friday, although that time line isn't set in stone. each dose is likely to cost between 110 and $130. insurance will decide the out of pocket cost for those with coverage. the administration says the new program should keep vaccines free for most uninsured americans. with me now, ron allen at a school in new york city, berkeley lovelacejr., and

dr. vin gupta. berkeley, this is your reporting. tell us more about this and about the pricing. >> reporter: yeah, so after the fda makes its decision, it's going to be handed off to the cdc, so the cdc is meeting on tuesday with its advisory committee, and after that, they're going to issue a vote, and the cdc director could sign off and so tuesday afternoon we could feasibly have vaccinations start to begin, and after that, as far as cost, as long as you stick with an in-network provider, the government has said that anybody with insurance should pay nothing out of pocket for the boosters. as far as people who are uninsured, the biden administration has a bridge program that would allow them to get free boosters through next year. >> dr. gupta, anecdotally, i can tell you, also just looking at the numbers, we see there are more cases of covid in many parts of the country. tell us about this particular booster, and how important you think it is, and for whom. >> chris, thank you for platforming this, and for having

me. i believe your team has an important graphic i like to show of the upper respiratory tract. i'll explain why these boosters are so important as we're taking to this. essentially what we're seeing and this is a good reminder why everyone should get a booster for covid, end of october time frame. these vaccines rev up our immune cells and lungs, prevent severe ammonia. in the nostrils, we inhale covid. not as many immune cells. it's plausible you get boosted. we know this anecdotally, you test positive, might have mild symptoms but for four to six months after you get that boost you're protected because those immune cells in your lungs prevent severe pneumonia. that's what these vaccines are supposed to do from day one until now, that's why you get boosted to prevent against severe pneumonia beginning early october. >> we know the administration has a plan to keep costs down for this round of boosters, but

even when the doses were free, the rates of participation were poor. only 17% of the u.s. population got the latest bivalent covid m ccine.% who got the first if this is an up hill se people are going to have to pay? >> well, chris, i would say it is a worry here that the under insured, especially if this government program isn't as comprehensive as we hoped, the company uninsured, hopefully the under insured. if it doesn't, if there's any crac i system, then of course thoho want these boosters might have a copay here. hopefully, again, that's not the case. the broad chris, that you point out, booster outlook has been low. lots of information why you get the vaccines, what they're intended to do. as a reminder for everybody and i think we might have a second congratulate here, covid and

blue shots, you can get them at the same time, if you're medically higher risk, 60 years of age or older or have a medical comorbidity, get the rsv vaccine right now, just because we're going to be talking about booster shots live next week, doesn't mean you get them. these cover against severe pneumonia for four to six months, you want time it for early october and protect yourself, and it's important to realize what they do. hopefully we see higher rates. >> i love a guest who brings niz his own graphics. the vaccine isn't the only question we're talking about this fall. we're getting renewed debates all over the country about masks as kids are going back to school. new york announced it will provide masks and tests to schools as i understand it. what's happening where you are? >> yeah, the governor said that they will provide masks and tests upon request. and this week, now that school is back in new york city and other parts of the state. the state is surveying these

schools to see what they need to see what's happening in the student population, and how best to respond. in the meantime, they're going back to the backseats in new york city, the mayor, the chancellor were here this morning, and they're emphasizing to get vaccinated to wear a mask if you feel like you want to, to stay home if you're ill. all the basic things we learned so painfully well during the pandemic that are now here again perhaps, but so far, there has not been a significant outbreak here in new york city that we're aware of. so the offer of masks, the offer is there, and the state will continue to do that, and make that offer possible. as we go forward. but, again, at this point, they're sticking to the basics, and emphasizing vaccination is the most important thing that people can do. families, students, as well as stay home if you're feeling sick. ron allen, berkeley love lace, jr., dr. vin gupta, thank you so much. billionaire bill gates

arguably the most high profile person since harvey weinstein, since the me too movement, what do we know? >> we know that he has been sentenced to 15 years on count 1, 15 years on count 2. that's 30 years. these sentences will run consecutively. we heard from the victims, they gave impact statements today. his family, his wife was sitting in the courtroom. we had a reporter in the courtroom, danny masterson chose not to speak today. we're waiting for a statement from his attorney on this, and we know that his attorney was arguing today that 30 years would be unjust, and, you know, at the most, 15 years, and then eventually being released on parole. that is not the sentence that he was given today. we have heard from jane doe's 2 and 3, and in a statement, their attorney is saying that these women displayed tremendous strength and bravery by coming forward to law enforcement and participating directly in two grueling criminal trials. these allegations from these

women, they are two alleged rapes that took place over two decades ago, that took place allegedly at masterson's hollywood hills home. these were women that were in the church of scientology. danny masterson is in the church of scientology. these women claim they were silenced by the church. the church has denied this. we have reached out to the church of scientology for further statement on this. this is something we have all been watching and this comes after an original mistrial being, you know, tried once again for these crimes. >> 47-year-old danny masterson facing now 30 years in prison. chloe, thank you so much for coming in for that breaking news. appreciate it. if you were hoping to be dancing in the dark at bruce springsteen's show this month, bad news, the boss has had to cancel all of his remaining shows for september, saying he's suffer from peptic you will center disease which can cause everything from abdominal pain

have plummeted and it led to boycotts of the beer. it's rare to see a boycott have such a prolonged public damage on a particular brand. in may, sales dropped 23%. june, much of the same problem, but anheuser-busch is this massive beer conglomerate that owns bud light, a brand that's long been the top selling beer in the united states, for 22 years until recently, and that's why the bill and melinda gates foundation trust snapped up almost $100 million of anheuser-busch shares. this is about value in the shares overall versus a political or polarization. there's really just a trust of smart, probably really highly paid finance people who buy the stocks. gates is said not to be involved with the purchase. gates isn't that much of a beer drinker but the foundation holds a billion dollars worth of heineken. bud light has been polarized, but the gates foundation

purchase is most likely about making money on shares that have depreciated. they're up a little bit today, about 1/2%, and up slightly on the month, and up 14% this year. >> so basically met on the ongoing thirst of america's many beer drinkers. >> precisely. >> thank you so much. that's going to do it for us this hour. joining us for "chris jansing reports" every weekday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. our coverage continues with "katy tur reports" right after the break. right after the break. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
