thank you. want to turn to an nbc news investigation. our chief foreign correspondent, richard engel, has been looking into president trump's business overseas. in particular, a building in panama that insiders and others say attracted some dirty money. richard is in panama. good morning to you. >> reporter: i'm in panama city to talk about an investigation we have been working on in conjunction with reuters for months. it took that building behind me, the trump ocean club city. the president doesn't own the building. he licenses his name. and he's been paid millions for that. but our reporting shows, that the building, like others in panama city, has been a magnet for suspicious business activity. trump ocean, where criminals, russian gangsters, to money launders were able to hide their

cash. alexander ventura was one of the tower's main brokers. you came in with hundreds of buyers? >> yes. >> reporter: did the trump organization want to know where the money was coming from? >> no. not that i'm aware of. >> reporter: ventura is a fugitive wanted for fraud. we agreed to disdpguise his appearance. he said he sold units to buyers including david guzman, in custody of the united states, convicted of laundering millions for drug cartels. ivanka trump was involved in the project, but not directly in sales. she featured in its promotions. our investigation reveals several of venturventura's brokd buyers had ties to russian organized crime.

units were bought through anonymous sell companies, hiding who owned what. and that, a former panamanian prosecutor told us, drew in people with a criminal history. the co-founder of global witness, its report on the trump ocean club is also out today. >> any responsible businessman should want to know who their clients are and where the money is coming from. if that responsible businessman is now the president of the united states, this is a matter of public interest. >> >> reporter: in a statement, the trump organization said, the trump organization was not the owner, developer or seller of the trump ocean club panama project. and that the organization had no relation with ventura. we asked ivanka trump for comment. but her team referred us back to the statement. >> this is a picture of you with

president trump. >> yes. that's at mar-a-lago, yes. >> they were a guest at the party. they hosted you at mar-a-lago. >> yes. there was a lot of people. >> reporter: the trump organization is distancing itself from a project that earned it millions. financial documents show the president is still making money from the building. the trump organization says that since it was only involved in a licensing agreement, doesn't own the building, it can't be held responsible for what happened here. but legal experts we spoke to say that might not be the case. that if a company deliberately turns a blind eye to potential illegal activity or doesn't do due diligence when operating in a high-risk environment, like panama, that could be enough to raise a case. back to you. >> richard engel, thank you. you can see his report tonight on "on assignment" at 9:00 eastern, on msnbc. first check with mr. roker. you shined a light on important

understand the founding principles the nation was built upon. >> some scholars feel it will betray its promise not to evangelize. >> it would portray that christians are at the center of american life. and that the bible is center of what it means to be american. >> reporter: do you want this museum to be the christian version of the smithsonian? >> it's about not a faith tradition, a nomination of a church, it's about a book. >> reporter: after hobby lobby was fined $3 million for illegally importing tablets from iraq, there's questions about some of the origins of the museum's artifacts. how do i know it's real? >> there's sometimes you may never completely know. we are using some of the most recent technology and advancements to help us analyze items. >> reporter: a test of faith for the visitors and the museum. and that test begins in ernest

your body was made for better things than rheumatiod arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. xeljanz xr can reduce the symptoms of ra, even without methotrexate.

that left 20 seconds ahead of schedule. the apology has commuters comparing their transit system to japan's efficiency. don't think this will be an apology southwestern railway or any other in the u.k. will have to make. my favorite part about edmonton transit is you don't know if the bus left 15 minutes early or 10 minutes left. we're not in new york's penn station anymore. the best part is if you missed that train, due to the fact it jumped ahead 20 seconds, you would have to wait a whopping four minutes for the next one to arrive. >> that's amazing. carson, thank you. just ahead, a live liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what? yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little wiggle room in our budget. wish our insurance did that. then we could get a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey, welcome back. this guy... right?

against harvey weinstein have really disturbed so many people. do you think we're at a moment of change? does this feel like a reckoning time? >> it feels like a really important moment. feels like a time when survivors are finding their voice and people are sort of -- i include myself in this, really discovering the terrible extent of this problem, here in our country. i don't think it's just limited to hollywood. but if you see this prevalent in this industry, it must extend into finance, tech, and all these other places. and also inspiring, though, to see people come forward and assert themselves. that's very moving. >> we have seen it. we've seen it in politics. we've seen it in lots of different industries. with weinstein, specifically, i wonder how it hit you. this is a powerful producer who played a big role in your coming up. he was instrumental in "good will hunting."

"shakespeare in love." did you know that side to him? >> i thrknew he was sleazy and bully. i was new to hollywood. i didn't know much of anything. it is a shame because although i stopped working with harvey a long time ago, those movies hold a special place in my heart. and to now look back on it and think, gosh, some other people were going through something really ugly and disturbing and difficult and terrible and terrifying, while that was happening, is kind of -- i don't know. the only thing i can think to do is to give my residuals from my harvey movies to a couple of organizations that are making a difference. and try to reconcile that. it's a way for me to feel better about that early stage in my career when i made the movies with him. >> can i ask you something specifically, rose mcgowan, has made allegations against harvey weinstein. tweeted and suggested she had

told you something along the way. is that true? i want to give you an opportunity to set the record straight. >> thank you very much. i don't want to get into other people's individual stories. those are their stories and they're entitled to tell as much or as little of those. i believe rose. i support her. i like and admire her tenacity and i wish her the best. >> finally, one thing you said, you want to be part of the solution. to your credit, you've been straightforward about that, saying, you want to look inward and look at your own behavior. >> i think that's all you can do. as a man in my position, and recognizing how fortunate i am. recognizing the privilege that i have and try to open my eyes and hold myself accountable. that's all we can really do. it's harder than pointing the finger at everybody else. what have i done that's crossed the line? how can i do better? how can i contribute? how can i be more respective? more inclusive? more mindful of this stuff? and that's the person i want to

be, frankly. >> and you looked back and thought, i wouldn't do that today. >> there's plenty of jokes i wouldn't have made. things i wouldn't have done. it's a time when we're -- that's happened almost overnight. there's a liheightened level of awareness. one of the good things is the self-consciousness of how am i fitting into the world? how is this interaction going to leave this person feeling? it's easy to gloss over that stuff and get self-involved. the hard thing is to be mindful and live in the present moment. >> it's a good conversation for all of us to be having. we have to talk about the movie because you are playing batman once again. we have a clip, "justice league" take a look. >> how many of you are there? >> not enough. >> eight people abducted from or near star labs.

things you had wish you had done when you were younger. i wish i wrote things down. a headline in "the wall street journal" caught my eye this moshing. it's called, why you should write a memoir even if nobody will read it. it doesn't have to be a "new york times" best seller to reap the rewards. if you take the time to write about your life, you'll see your life in a different perspective. you'll see things that you didn't notice. so, it leads me to this question, if you were to write the memoir of your life, what would the title be? hoda? >> mine would be "what the hoda?" what it's like living with a name no one can pronounce. >> that's cute. >> al, what would yours be? >> let a smile be your umbrella. nobody wants grumpy. just look at the positive side. >> i love that one. i'd buy that. >> mine would be "trl: totally

time. i'm sitting on the couch like, it's 9:00 a.m. now. i'll get a bowl of cereal or something. >> i'll go with kate to workout. >> she's in all the games. is she one of the fans who screams to you from the stands? >> she's the one after the game, did you hear me? yes, honey. yes, i did. >> good answer. >> absolutely. >> i just came from houston. you know, we were lending a hand. and the spirit of that city and what you guys meant to it, you have any idea how much you mean to that town? >> man, it's been incredible, the outpouring of love from that city. and we were in a special place to really connect with the city when they needed it. they needed something to cheer for and be happy about. and for us to go that far and to win it all, i think it really can connect a sports team and a city. and we'll always be linked for that. >> give us three seconds on how you were able to pull this off. a wedding was planned while you were in the postseason.

>> the wedding was planned before the postseason or it would have been a week later. when i got traded, we had it planned out. >> were you thinking about the dates? >> we thought, there's only one thing that could screw all this up and that's going to game seven of the world series. so, you know, i happened to be pitching game six. i was thinking to myself, it's meant to be. just a little extra incentive. we have to win this one. it was a well-fought game and they won. here comes game seven. all of our guests are arriving at our venue. and we're getting texts before the game's starting. hey, your wedding's great. if you feel to show up. >> what was more nerve-racking? standing on the mound or standing on the altar? >> standing on the mound at the world series. i know my wife is here. i got to -- >> well, again, i don't know how you can have a better month and year than you're having. congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. >> congratulations. >> thank you. straight ahead, tim mcgraw
