good morning. breaking overnight, the republican tax overhaul hits a major snag to the tune of $1 trillion. a key showdown in the senate expected today. what's next? >> it can't fail. this is unacceptable. >> we're live on the hill. stunning verdict. an undocumented immigrant found not guilty in the murder of a san francisco woman he admits shting. the victim's family shaddened ad shocked. new video of that brazen casino heist in vie gegas. a massive

all that, plus -- a police officer tases his own partner. >> sorry, nick. the popular ancestry tests put to the test. and princess charming. meghan markle signs alongside prince harry as they carry out their first official royal duties together. friday, december 1st, 2017. >> from nbc news, this is "today," live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to "today." nice to have you with us on a friday morning. happy friday, hoda. >> cannot get enough of the royals. >> that's good. we have a lot of them. we're going to get to that in a moment. let's get to our sttop stor. and the stage set for a republican tax overhaul. even though it's facing obstacles, senate republicans are

final volt. hallie jackson with more on that. >> reporter: good morning. it seems like this last-minute drama has the attention of everybody here in washington, including president trump himself, who is out this morning, tweeting this bill, he says, is getting better and better. but blames what he calls obstructionist demes trying to block because they think it's too good and will not be given the credit. but it's the concerns of some republicans, senators inside his own party, that now have the gop rushing to rewrite parts of this major tax plan, a bill that could affect everybody watching the show right now. republican senators stalled and scrambling. suddenly dealing with new drama over their sweeping tax cut plan. outside the capital, protests against it. inside, three gop lawmakers holding up a procedural vote, until leadership promised they could make more late changes t

to have the white house, the senate and the white house and not be able to reform tax code. >> reporter: part of the problem, this tax cut plan will not pay for itself. that's part of a congressional analysis, that said the senate bill will add $1 trillion to the deficit. the spotlight on four republicans. bob corker, jeff flake, ron johnson and susan collins. each angling for different things. republican leaders can only afford to lose support from two of those gop senators. >> we have work to do to get to 50. we're making steady and real progress. >> reporter: so far, here's the bottom line for your taxes. if nothing changes, the plan would cut individual rates, and expand the child care tax credit. but it would get rid of popular tax breaks. and it would s t

rate from 35% to 20%. president trump wants to seal the deal in the senate. a new report says he pressed senators on something else this summer. their investigation into russia's election interference. "the new york times" said the president stressed to the top senator on the intelligence committee said that it was time to move on. the gop downplaying the moves as the actions of a political newcomer unfamiliar on what is appropriate presidential conduct. adding, the president at no point has attempted to apply undue influence. it comes as speculation swirls, at a shakeup at the state department. there's more talk of replacing rex tillerson, who says the secretary of state burned

his allies in the west wing. >> kelly called our office and said the rumors are not true. >> reporter: the job belongs to tillerson. how long? >> he's here. thank you much, everybody. >> reporter: not a ringing endorsement from president trump. multiple administration sources are telling us the favorite to become the next secretary of state is current cia director, mike pompeo. if the senate passes this thing, something that is being reworked as we speak, they would have to reconcile it with the house version, which is a long road ahead. there is immediate fallout over a bombshell acquittal in a murder trial in san francisco that's received a lot of attention. the case leading to a nationwide

debate on immigration. and now, igniting a brand-new one. gau gadi schwartz has the latest. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. outside of the courtroom, this case was overshadowed by the politics of illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. inside the courtroom, immigration barely came up. the defense focusing on evidence that showed they say this was an accident. but this morning, kate steinle's father saying that justice was not served. the fate of jose garcia zarate was read in front of a packed courtroom. >> the verdict that came in today was not the one we were hoping for. but i think it's unequivocal, both sides gave it their all. >> this jury's verdict should be respected. they heard the evidence. they deliberated as a group. they heard readback testimony. >> reporter: in theme

2015, 23-year-old kate steinle was shot in the back, while on a walk with her father, while on a san francisco pier known as embarcade embarcadero. the suspect was zarate. three months before the deadly shooting, he had been released from jail after a drug charge was dropped. but immigration officials were never notified. then-candidate donald trump seized on the case that the u.s. needed his proposed border wall. >> kate, this magnificent young woman, shot in the back by a guy who was sent over here. probably pushed over. who knows. >> reporter: overnight, president trump weighing in, a disgraceful verdict in the kate steinle case. during the trial, the immigration debate took a backseat on a case on whether

accidental. the bullet ricochetted before hitting her, and he never aimed the weapon at steinle, insisting it went off accidentally. something the family dismissed. >> i this i they did shoot toward them, which was very upsetting to me. i was hoping it was just a ricochet. and wasn't aimed. >> reporter: now, anger and politics once again surrounding the family's heartbreaking loss. >> somehow or another, we got caught up in immigration and trump. this was the death of my daughter. nothing's changed except kate's not here. >> reporter: and back here at pier 14, there's candles and there is a picture of kate steinle. these were left here by a group of self-identified white nationalists last night. they came and left messages, including bill a wall. and the

verdict have been felt to the white house. this morning, president trump sending out more tweets. saying, the kate steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected obama border. his exoneration is a complete travesty of justice and build the wall. >> gadi schwartz, thanks so much. there's new developments in the scandal surrounding john conyers. already facing pressure to resign in the wake of accusations of sexual misconduct. he's lost his most important supporter. andrea mitchell with the latest on that. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the longest serving member of the house remains out of sight in a detroit hospital. his family says suffering from stress, as powerful democratic allies agree, john conyers should resign. representative conyers in office but without the support of his own party. nancy p

now, ramping up the pressure. >> congressman conyers should resign. zero tolerance means consequences for everyone, no matter how great the legacy. it's no license to harass or discriminate. >> reporter: speaker ryan calling on conyers to call it quits. >> we should set high standards for ourselves to be role models and set examples. >> reporter: this after marion brown, a former deputy chief of staff to conyers broke her silence on "today." >> he pointed to areas of genital areas of his body t. and asked me to touch it. >> reporter: the allegation sparking strong reaction from his democratic clagolleagues. >> i know her. this is not getting better. i see it getting worse. >> it's important to recognize,

halls of congress. and we've got to stop dancing around the fact that the system that's in place doesn't work for the victims. >> reporter: conyers, who is accused of sexual misconduct by three women, and is the subject of a house ethics probe refuses to step down. >> nancy pelosi did not elect the congressman. and she won't be the one to tell the congressman to leave. >> reporter: this as the ethics committee was opened an inquiry into senator al franken, which he welcomes. two more women accusing franking of sexual misconduct before he was elected. >> he put his hand on my breast. and i just remember just freezing up. >> reporter: one of the accusers, army veteran, stephanie kemplin, the then-comedian groped her breast before this

>> even if it's been 14 years. even if it's been 14 months, 14 days, it's never too late to stand up for yourself and say that it was wrong. >> reporter: franken's spokesperson reiterates the minnesota senator has never intentionally engaged in this kind of contact. >> put out a statement. and looking forward to fighting this terrible tax bill. >> reporter: now, a veteran republican, joe barton of texas, saying he will not seek re-election. after he called consensual relationships when he was separated from his wife. >> all right, andrea. thank you very much. two days after he was fired by nbc news, we're seeing the first image of matt lauer. he is facing accusations of sexual misconduct by three women who have come forward to nbc. and "variety" has repor

accusations from three women. >> none of them have been identified. the number of accusers is between three and six. questions have been raised about whether nbc news executives knew of the complaints prior to monday evening. several former executives said they didn't know of any complaints. and the network responded saying, unequivocally, no current management knew about any accusations. we turn, back, now to the tax showdown in washington. one place where the effects will already evident, wall street. the dow jones industrial average scored past 24,000 on thursday. closed on a record high. will the rally last and what does it mean? stephanie ruehl is here. the good times are rolling on wall street. what does it mean for the markets and for main street? >> there's a difference between main street and the market. for the stock market, they're thrilled. the idea of corporate tax cuts, that means every corporation is going to pay less in taxes. that means they

backs. there can be dividends. they can invest more money and hire more people. the markets love it. and also, from the market's perfective, it gives them confidence. this trump administration has gotten nothing done from a legislative perspective. this shows they can get their act together and do something. and the market likes that. >> the dow has been up 6,000 points since the trump took office. is what we're seeing the trump effect watching the stock market go up? >> you can't deny it. the market has gone up significantly. 30% since trump won. that's not a trump bump. it's a trump mountain. but the market has been consecutively going up for nine years. since obama took office, it's been a slow and steady klein. trump said, i'm cutting taxes and you can see it in the market. las vegas police are stepping up their search for the brazen chief who robbed a casino earlier this week. and they're hoping this video will help of t

help out. here's nbc's joe fryer. >> reporter: casinos are known for their high-tech security. in fact, the bellagio was at the center of one of the most infamous fictional heists in history, in the movie "ocean's e level." this complex but brazen real-life robbery has police scratching their heads. the new surveillance video shows the suspect driving a car into the valet area. he enters the hotel wearing the disguise, including a wig, glasses and a bandage. and walks through the casino area up to the cashier's cage. police say the suspect had a gun. and once he threatened the clis clerk, they started handing over cash. after he has the money, surveillance

running through the casino and back to his getaway car. police believe there was another person in the car but don't believe it was an accomplice. >> we know there may have been an individual that came with the vehicle against his will here. but we have that individual at this point. and he is safe. >> reporter: actor james woods was inside the casino at the time and tweeting about the robbery and praising the hotel staff for staying calm. the crook may have gotten away. >> we're comfortable and confident we'll apprehend this individual. >> reporter: for "today" joe fryer, las vegas. last day of the hurricane season, yesterday. also, the last day of meet logical it frost to 92 cities had the top five

deductions. president trump is tweeting about all of this. he says the bill is getting better and better. blaming democrats for the stalled momentum. he said it's the republican senators pumping the brakes right here. gop leadership is hoping to know more when senators get back to capitol hill. they're aiming for maybe a final vote today. remember, guys, if the senate does pass this plan, they have to square it with the house version, which means there may be even more drama down the road. keeping an eye on all of it. keep you posted. savannah, back to you. >> hallie, thank you. a programming note, too. this sunday on "meet the press," an exclusive interview with president trump's former campaign manager, corey lewandowski and david bossie. it's an inside look at president trump's campaign. and they will join us here monday morning live on the "today" show. an undocumented immigrant who became a big issue in the 20 p

>> reporter: a year ago, before this wave of sexual misconduct allegations, the equal employment opportunity commission learn eed that anywhe from 25% to 85% of sexual harassment in the workplace but a lot didn't report it. now, a lot of them are recalibrating, including right here at nbc, about what is acceptable and what is not. disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct blanketing our newspapers, social media. >> kacharlie rose off the air. >> harvey weinstein, taking a leave of absence. >> reporter: everyone seems to be rethinking the american workplace. >> they see men in power. they see hollywood actors. they see comedians like everything is happening and they're getting fired. >> reporter: with sexual harassment and abuse in the

facing long overdue conversations, about what is appropriate, what is not and where the line is. >> things that are blatantly harassment to me. and things that like, we used to be able to say these things together and now it's harassment. >> reporter: men and women are re-evaluating their own conduct, rethinking past events they witnessed or participating in. questioning whether a past action crossed the line. revelations of misdeeds have exploded into all professions. politics, silicon valley and banking. #metoo, spreading like wildfire. but the creator of that social media campaign says the guidelines workplaces have in place have not done their job. >> there has to be accountability for the victim. and the perp raetrator has to understand there is zero tolerance. >> reporter: women, too, are not

same way. one in three women are worried about being sexual assaulted. but there's a generational gap. with younger women, more concerned than those who are older. everyone can agree, the workplace is going through a seismic shift. >> anytime there's a big power shift. anytime there's a sudden change, it can feel unsettling. it doesn't mean that's the wrong thing to do. but it means we shouldn't expect it to be comfortable. >> reporter: in a matter of months, anger has boiled to the surface, upending places of business in a way that america really hasn't seen before. as more alleged victims find the courage to come forward, a lot of questions. what will we learn? when will it stop? >> thank you so much, kate. we want to continue the conversation and dig a little deeper on this. being transparent about it, it obviously is something that hits very close to home. tina brown is the founder of the annual women in the world summit and the author of the new book "the vanity fair diaries." ted b

call to men. and co-founders and co-ceos of the skim, a company that publishes a popular newsletter aimed at young women. good morning. i hope we can have a thoughtful conversation. tina, i will start with you. this is a moment. t this is a cultural moment. and it feels that everything has changed. do you think it has? and is it a permanent change? >> we're in the middle of a revelation. that is a bookend to the women's march in january, which was the largest one-day protest in american history. women are stayiaying enough is enough. we have played nice for too long. how many times did we talk about women in the pipeline. women are going to be empowered. women are going to transition to places of power. gains have been made. but there's a sense of being stalled. women are just tired of it. they're just tired of being told there is an idea they're going to comeo

being the ones who are talking a bt about it all the time. having the power is you change the norms. it's not rocket science. there were ten men on harvey weinstein company's board. no women. it's insane. >> we wonder if this is a generational thing. you are ceos of the skim. great company. the stuff i remember putting up with as a young reporter, the jokes, the innuendo and things i just laughed off, do you fell that? have that? or tolerate anything like that? >> yes. >> you do? >> to be honest, i hope those things change. i hope this causes that change. but we started out in the business ten years ago. and all of those things, it's on the line of assault that we heard about, which is horrific. but the innuendo. the being put in situations that you shouldn't have to be put in the workplace. >> of your generation. >> absolutely.

socially, someone said we worked in finance and didn't understand what everyone was talking about because she doesn't work with women. think about what that statement means. that means that women you don't realize and probably why are women not surrounded? because they probably didn't get that job. why were they not in computer science classes? why weren't they into that pipeline as you referenced. this is the millennial generation. we watched "mad men." it seems like an era that's so far away. we can say, look at that misogynistic behavior. that can never happen. and there is that line, which is sexual assault, which is criminal in many cases. and then, there is what happens when it's just sexist behavior in the workplace. >> i turn to you. you are a man who worked in this area. you do good work. and men need to be a part of this conversation. what is your message to them? >> first of all, i want to say that, we really, our heart goes out to the victims

about the women who had the courage to come forward, i think about all of the women in the margins of the margins, who, the domestic workers, the undocumented worker. the woman who is working in a low-paying job. and all they're being abused and disrespect is happening there. men have to, as women are finding their voice, men have to find their voice, too. it's not up to us. it's not going to end unless men become part of the solution. we address this from intervention. something has to happen and we have to react to it. we want to go to prevention where it never happens in the first place. that bridge is mental. we have to be different as men. while most are not abusive, and don't discriminate, we are silent about the abuse and discrimination. that's as much a problem as the violence is. we are passing this down to our boys. we did a survey, with our curricul curricum

81% of boys do not know what consent is. that explains sexual assault in the military. sexual assault on college campuses. our boys are being taught that no means try harder. >> let's talk about punishment. what should the punishment be. do they never work again. what -- tell us what you think that bar is. tina? >> clearly, because we're in the throes of a revelation, a revolution is bloody in the beginning. we're going to see severe punishments, what we're seeing with huge careers going. i think it's going to change quickly. as companies realize, that to harbor and nurture and cover up a sexual predator, who is a big-ticket item in their company, an important manager or further down the line, just an effective worker. they're going to realize it's too much of a liability to tall

because it won't be happening as much. people just -- laws can change quickly when there's money at stake. >> what is tricky and we don't have the time to really get into it, it's the gray area. everyone knows assault is wrong. that is not a close call. >> our generation is talking a lot about. we have been talking to so many men in the last two weeks who are like, how do ainteract wii h women? we know these people for years and they were afraid to hug us. >> i'm happy that the questions about the gray area are being asked. and it has to be a conversation with men out there. on the other hand, i feel like, in a lot of circumstances, you know when you're making someone uncomfortable. >> yeah. >> especially going in the holiday season, we've had questions about etiquette at holiday parties. there's thing s you know not to do. don't do it. >> you know. and

not only in policy but between men. that same man who's sexually harassing a woman at the workplace, just told a joke to his buddies. saying, check her out. all those things. as men, we have to speak up and say, that's not cool with me. we're not going to behave that way and have accountability. >> it's just an uncool thing to be this kind of a jerk. >> it's an invitation to men. it's an invitation to do things differently. >> to change our culture and it starts with a lot of internal honesty with all concerned. thank you for this discussion. it's important. we'll keep it going. now, we go over to al. >> let's take a quick look and show you what we have. for today, wet weather making its way into the southwest. things
