started when lauer and the staff were working at 2014 sochi olympic and continued after the games. since then nbc announced two more accusers have come forward alleging sexual misconduct. after the firing variety mag seep came out with details of what it says was a two-month investigation into lauer. the magazine says today on core exposed himself to female colleagues, gave a sex toy to one co-worker and told her how he wanted to use it on her and often asked female staffers with whom they had slept. variety also reports the disgraced news anchor had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his office door without getting up. the magazine says, female staffers did complain to nbc execs over the years but that nothing was done about it. now nbc continues to maintain that monday's complaint by the staff was the first time the management had been made aware lauer's alleged conduct. this morning, the today show led with a statement from lauer in he apologized for

caused others and the network. he also said not all of what has come out is true but says enough of it is to make him feel embarrassed and ashamed. he also said repairing the damage he caused will now be his full-time job. story has the whole country buzzing that includes late night comedians nbc jimmy fallon weighing in last night. take a look. >> that's the big story today nbc fired matt lauer from the today show after he was accused of inappropriate sexual beh behavior. if you're wondering where in the world is matt lauer, he's probably at a bar with charlie rose. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> now, nbc has not said whether in that meeting that lauer denied or admitted to any wrongdoing though he said in his statement that, you know, some were true. so i think we talked a little bit about this earlier. i think, you know, matt lauer has got to do what matt lauer has got to do but i think the question is, when did the network know? >> right. >> did they know? because in order for a culture to be created, the behavior has to be allowed

>> current nbc management blaming past nbc management they weren't aware of it you have matt lauer sift tan but confidant at work who work for him recently let go based on similar allegations. so it's kind of interesting to see which way that goes and who knew what when. >> it will be interesting to see like when you go to human resources and he create a file if it's ten years ago even if you change managements -- management do you throw away the human resources information? does that sit in the building because it's a different company i mean because if that's the case -- >> we'll actually going to talk about with one of our guests later. i think a lot people are asking that. if i have gone to someone in the past, can i retroactively bring up the claim again? >> what do i do now? >> we'll talk about that in just about ten minutes. >> 9:06 is time. garrison keeler was also fired yesterday following allegations of inappropriate behavior with someone who worked with him. but this morning keeler says the incident that led to his firing is complicated. in an e-mail to the

didn't matter whether the videos were real that the threat posed by islamic extremists is real. debate on the big tax reform bill will continue today in the senate. final vote could come tonight or tomorrow. senate republicans are still considering whether to cut the corporate tack rate less than president trump wanted that's in and effort to win support of a few gop members who are still worried that the bill doesn't do enough to help small businesses. 9:09 right now. american airline urging -- you are jennly dealing with massive pilot schedule link problem. working to avoid a holiday halt tots flights. >> all while heading into the busiest travel period of the year of course around the christmas holiday. melanie alnwick live from reagan national airport with more. this could potentially be a real mess, mel. >> reporter: that's right. now i can tell you that american airlines says it is confident it will be available to avoid those flight cancellations. i did just get a look at the nights -- the airports and the dates that are affected. i can tell you here at d.c. a we dot

flights but it's the span of about one week from december 20th to the 27th. and we're working to get that information posted on our website right now. but it really is going to require a lot of cooperation and some give and take on the part of the airline and also on the part of the union but for now, many passengers plans are up in the air. the dates we're talking about are december 17th to the 31st critical holiday travel times. so a glitch in american's online pilot schedule link system allowed too many pilots to take off during those weeks. and that has left some 15,000 flights according to the union without a full crew. they are grounded until pilot seats are filled. now, american airlines has a plan. it says it will usery serve pilots and it's also offering 150% of pay to pilots who pick up some of those open trips. pilots association, tells me that its pilots want to fill those cockpits but the airline is not offering that premium

in. so there's not a lot of incentive in their opinion to give holiday time back. pilots also want assurances if they agree to pick up some of those flights they won't get held over. if they say they'll work a certain shift, they want to be able to know that that shift is going to end and that they can make their plans around that. now, american airlines has said it will work with the union, and they're going to ensure that they'll get customers where they need to go for the holidays. but at this point, guys, there's been no meeting set up between the union and american airlines. so for passengers really the only back stop that they might have if they're really concerned about it is to buy another ticket fully refundable tick as we talked about very expensive and then if american airlines works all of this out and the flights go off as schedule you can just get awry fun for that. but that's a lot of money to front in case they don't get it work out. live at reagan national melanie alnwick, fox5 local news. >> what a mess. >> i mean that's a

situation. thank you mel. that's a tough situation. you have to think about buying a second ticket just to cover yourself in case they don't get pilot is ridiculous. >> but they have two weeks to get it figure out. get pilots on the planes. >> pay whatever they need to p pay. >> they have auxiliary pilots they can use call in for situations but man. >> auxiliary pilots. >> then you're just like -- >> i know. who is flying the plane. >> i know right. >> the backup backup pilots flying? >> okay. >> with a lot of overtime. >> who hasn't flown in awhile. come out of retirement. >> harrison ford? [ laughter ] >> just kidding. i kid. >> you have all the attention workplace harassment has gotten a lot of people are wonder wagon rules are in place. if those rules need to change to better protect people. we're going to do the heavy lifting for you. all you have to do is watch and learn. we'll take a closer look at those guidelines coming up. >> holiday warning for anyone shopping online. bob barnard will join us live with the details. time right now is 9:12.

already in place company policies on the issue sexual harassment training or even sensitivity in the workplace and what needs to change there is attorney nick johnson. good morning to you. >> how is it going. >> i think a lot of us very concerned because this is all coming to the noor now we're wondering what are the guidelines what rules are in place? and who should we be checking with at this point? >> there are a miriad of things. any time this happens on the global scale we're all getting on the job training. right? so programs, sexual harassment programs you have different levels. you have initial policies, state, federal. but primarily there are not a lot of state that is require mandatory training. lots of things err mess miss seive. think about on capitol hill. there's still just deciding to say, oh, whether even the members should be held to a higher standard, right. >> d.c., mary v have a any of them mandatory? >> none. >> is that an excuse though if you don't have the training? is that excused behavior.

on-the-job training. i think we all have common sense the things that we should note here are that this is nay grant predatory behavior, right. this is not a one off. this is not hey, i made a mistake. but i also want to talk about the issue of couldn't zen. what is harassment and what is consent? i got to tell you talking about matt, katie couric gave a great example. she was talking on some talk show and she -- i think they were asking her whether it was something that matt did and she was like, oh, he pinched me on my hiney part and she laughed about it. that's consent, guys. that's fine. i want to tell you this is not a black or white issue. what if she comes back and says i laughed at the time but looking back i really felt some kind of way about it. >> does chef a case then? >> she does but -- well, a case -- what are we talking about a case, does she want to go to court? does she want to have her voice amongst the courts. there are different standards

everybody is not going to go to jail for this. people are going to -- some will get fired. but you have to say what you mean and mean what you say, too. this is a balancing act. i wouldn't say go on and joke about it and then say, hey -- you know, these are serious claims. people's jobs are being on the line. >> that's what we're seeing now. let me ask you this question. based thon example what you just brought up of someone saying okay to me that was consent. >> yes. >> same person does that to somebody else and they say whoa, no. i don't appreciate that. >> absolutely. >> person may never repeat that behavior again after the person said no because we always hear say no if you are opposed to it. >> absolutely. >> but can they still be held accountable for that if the person said i don't like it and okay, sorry. my bad. >> it is a relationship. it's a two hiv way street. first of all, let's not go the line and touch somebody's behind parts. >> in perfect world people would realize that. >> these men dropping their pants and

parts. >> really a abuse seive flagrant displays of just bad behavior. why is this so awesome that this is happening on the world stage because now that's the training. we're knowing that these guys are predators. it's not happening one or two. there are between eight and 80 women in these differ circumstances that this is happening to. so what do i say to the woman that may be at the wal*mart or maybe in a different environment? number one, take notes and compare notes. because when they're going to the meet media and they're comparing notes, they're corroborating the second thing is, the media is an important ally. even though it's happening to celebrities but it's also the reporters the accuracy of the reporting that's being done. variety magazine, new york times, washington post, can i just say fake news is not fake when it's corroborated. >> what i wonder is bringing it closer to home like in our work

happening to you. >> y before do you go to hr. >> do you hire an attorney because i would that hr they're in company hoots with the company here. if something is seriously happen to you who should you go to? >> number one tell someone that you trust and it doesn't necessarily have to be win hr. couldn't item rain yous note taking is important because that lends credibility. if something happens a long time ago it's different then if you just wrote the note like last night, hey, you know, someone did something i felt some kind of way about it. but also, this is a new emp empowering time. you have the right to say, hey, this doesn't make me feel good and that really is the first line of attack. you have a voice. use it say hey, off balance, i didn't like that the first thing. second thing about human resources, read your employment manual. every employer has a boilerplate phrase that talks about it. and don't let fear overcome your faith and know that you have options

talk to people because this is the line of, um, defense. you don't just go out to an attorney. do you have to go through your internal policies. >> it's easy to say that. if you're in that workplace especially if you're in the at a high level position you have that fear if i call out the wrong person i'm going to be one lose my job they're more important to the dough company than i am. >> here's the thing. this is a very personal decision, right? i absolutely say this is a new world order in terms of talking to people. these guys and ladies whatever the case may be they're not doing it one time. they're doing it multiple times. and so if we're having water cooler talk see if it's going ton there are power in number as my mom says. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> you're welcome, guys. >> great information. >> good luck. >> thank you. >> 9:21. wis, over to you. >> thank you very much. coming up the battle for second place. we'll going to take a look at tonight' redskins/cowboys thursday night matchup. >> let's check in with al see what she's working on this morning. >> holly suspected tampa serial killer make

8:25 they have a new, arc local news break where they cut to the local station. a station in kansas didn't go to the local. they just kept the hot feed going up from the today show s set. so they didn't know they were on tv but they had microphones on they were just, you know, talking. and the video shows matt lauer sitting there and meredith veiera who was the anchor at the time is in sweater and kind of leans over and matt kind of roles his eyes a little bit and says "nice sweater, copy benning over like that, it's a nice view". he says it with an open mike and there are people in the control room including presumably the executive producer, and you know, that was said then in 2012 katie couric was on andy cohen's show on bravo. bravo by the way owned by nbc and andy cohen what's the most annoying thing matt lauer does to you and i'll para phrase. she said he pinching m

so, you know, there were a lot of people talking and things going on there. but the today show operates what we're told almost separate from nbc news. and they don't really listen to what the network -- what the directives of the network. they do it the way they do it, and they kind of do it amongst themselves. and that may be what contributed to the culture here. >> let me ask you this, harvey. as somebody yourself that obviously has been around media and this line of bus for a long time, and you're running the show with what you do now. the management of nbc news right now, whether it's a separate entity or not when it comes to today show, the management of nbc news right now is basically blaming prior management for not doing something about it. how long can an excuse like that last? >> see i don't even think they're blaming prior management. they didn't say that. they just said, we never got a complaint, but, again, they're not saying but like you say they're not saying but other people heard about it and new about it. they're not sin

are careful in the words they chose. we never got a complaint. they have not addressed what you just said about prior management or anything like that. >> all right. we'll so where this plays out we'll get more and you guys will get more throughout the day. we'll keep an eye on your website harvey. let's talk about your show right now. you're playing it save you're talking to somebody who never had any questionable behavior never got in trouble. but he did have house here in bethesda at one point. mike tyson much what's up with mike these days. >> look, i mean we have this show on fox news channel called objectified. well tell people's live stories through objects that they choose to keep over the years, and he is just a fascinating guy because mike tyson reached the highest highs and absolutely the lowest lows, and you know, he we talked about everything. and i was shocked at how candid this guy was, i asked him about the rape trial. i asked him about he can go bankrupt making $400 million. we talk about t

all sorts of thing and the fact he was arrested 38 times by the time he was 13. so i mean, it's just this crazy life story, but mike tyson, you know, i don't even think he would say that he's okay now that he's as okay as he's ever been good i want to ask real quick before i let you go. based on that and we've heard that from mike tyson in the past. you have some celebrities that want to basically close the book on themselves. they play everything very close to the vest. they don't like to talk about thing. then you have people hike mike tyson who have questionable behavior but very open about it. does that -- is that a good play in hollywood? does that make them more endearing to people if they can talk about themselves even if they have done bad things yes. >> yeah, i mean, i got to say, i think the answer to that is yes. i was surprised when i sat down with him. i didn't know what i was going to get, and hey, he was exactly what you just said, steve. he was so open

was honest about his feelings about things. that doesn't mean that his view is necessarily the correct view. but he didn't hold back, and i think when you walk away from it, you know, there was no filter. that was no, you know, pr move or anything like that. i didn't get any of that. and you walk away and you think, you know, this guy is being honest the way he sees the world >> right. >> so i think the answer to it is yes. >> fascinating stuff. harvey, we have to loaf it there we'll talk to you again real soon. appreciate your time. can't wait to see the show. >> okay, steve see ya. >> objectified sunday at 8:00 on the fox news channel it's a great show. and of course t in z weekdays at 3:00 and 7:00 right here on f fox5. i can't wait to see that. >> it's always good. he does a great job. >> he is good. i think harvey levin might be in my like top three people you want to have dinner with. his stories, he's so amazing. >> makes you feel comfortable. gets people to open up on comfort level. >> sure does. >> 10:07 is the time before we check what's trending allison back with what's making had he line this morning. good morning again to you al. >> good morning,
