president kept saying his first and only priority is to keep americans safe, and that's one he has been tauting this vaccine. at the same time, he's not wearing a mask. he's not social distancing at his rallies. in fact, he's encouraging people not to wear masks. look at this exchange he had with one of the white house reporters as he tried to ask the president a question just today. >> you're going to have to take that off, please. how many feet are you away. >> i'll speak a lot louder. >> if you don't take it off, you're very muffled. so if you would take it off. >> i can speak a lot louder. is that better? >> it's better, yeah. it's better. >> robert, his actions do not

the clinical trials of their much tauted drug to supposedly cure multiple sclerosis failed completely dynamic to have this hyping press release saying things are going great right before things actually cratered. >> exactly. i did a story where i talked to people in australia and also people in buffalo. they both looked at this as what's called a pump and dump scheme where you taut the price of the stock and everything goes quiet for a while while the insiders sell. >> so the investors in the know will get the best possible price for their stock while they are selling it out while the rest of the dupes in the public are about to take a bath. >> the highly tauted optimistic press release, that's not in there. but the second part of this long delay and the insiders dumping the stock, yes, that's in there. >> one of the other things that's in the indictment i think is a reference to you. there is part of what's alleged in the scheme is that congressman collins' office released a statement to a reporter, who i think is you. >> that is me. >> essentially saying that, hey, when my family so

they taut their own testing.r the last weeks you and i have reported that some members of the task force did want to resume these briefings and they wanted to do it from the white house complex. that's not the case today. it will be very interesting to see exactly who is at this briefing. they haven't given us a list. we expect the doctors to be there. there's a chance they won't be. we know the vice president is going to be leading that. we hope he takes many questions on this uptick in cases and what the latest is if the u.s. does need to rethink its testing strategy. kristen? >> absolutely right, monica. what will the strategy be moving forward. that's going to be the question key question today. i know you're watching another story in the middle of this pandemic. the trump administration overnight launched another fight to the affordable care act. it's not the first time obviously so what can you tell us about this? is it going to be something that really gains traction or has any significance before the elec

>> well, sure to the extent that the more we taut alk abobody's policy plans or backgrounds, they maymore scrutiny. it's possible they would get less. it's possible, it's possible that -- it's possible that we would see things and it would be the same stuff we saw in the other two years and we would all move on. i doubt it because if that were the case, then i think they would have made these records available to us sooner. there's got to be something a little bit more offputting than what we've seen so far. >> eamon, how do you see that issue? >> that hits it on the head. you can infer here that's what's going on is the romney campaign made a clear position that the heat they're taking is less than the heat for whatever they would take for what's in the returns that they think would be embarrassing. part of the reason is there are two kinds of rich people in this country. rich people who work for a living and earn a high salary and rich people whose money works for them. that's the camp the romneys are in. so their taxes are very, very low. we have seen the swiss bank account and the

will voters feel different provisions that democrats are tauting right now in the bill that are popular with voters. all of this is up to a 50/50 senate and dealing with those hold-out senators once its over there. no, we do not know what will be in the final bill. we don't know if those programs will be felt by voters by the mid-term elections. we don't know if it will be voted on by christmas. this is really a tough time for democrats. they were excited about celebrating yesterday. no small thing that it was bipartisan. five republican senators were at the white house for this infrastructure signing. but they have stomach aches right now about the build back better fight going forward. >> indeed, they do. and jaunita, a lot of it keeps coming back to messages. why can't the white house, serious question, hire an ad executive, an ad agency, a television producer, someone with a specialty in selling, someone with a specialty in communication, selling things to, oh, i don't know all 50 states? >> look, i think they're definitely relying on a lot of the democratic campaign committees to h

all to taut your voters. your approach would work better if it was not pep perred wipere lies.ike you said miss young was trapped in a failing school. your team is so desperate to lure black voters that your allies are literally handing out cold cash at events in swing states all while sending your races. black voters see through you, mr. president. more than 80% black americans identified as a racist correctly in my opinion. you can keep lying about your record or exaggerating, black voters who you are. a man sued by the department of justice for races and housing discrimination, who called the death penalty for five falsely accused black teenagers and built his entire career on the racist lies that this country's first black president was not born here. your father's money meant that you had never faced any consequences for r yoyour actio. mr. president, unfortunately for you, there is not enough money in the world to convince black voters to forgive exactly what you stand for. but if you think you can convince us by all means, call off your administration's mini voter tactic

raises concerns, arizona election audits, those who taut voting fraud. the last one, what we learned today. one of the people working on the arizona audit, alongside douglas logan, the conspiracy theory guy, one of the guys that must be kept secret is an arizona woman who has taken it upon herself to prove the election fraud fantasy that trump is still the president by personally collecting allegations of fraud via a website she set up in arizona after the election. her website is itsmellsfunny.com. so the proprietor of itsmellsfunny.com and communists plotted it out in 1963 guy, in our country, they got control of the physical ballots cast in the election and they are doing lord knows what with them now. it smells funny. president trump has told people he believes this is going to put him back in the white house. not in 2024. now. he believes the arizona audit could undo the election, and he has told multiple people that, and that is nuts. and if he believes that, he will promote it to his followers and something that is nuts at the outset will become a

cpd were tauting for some time. since the trump administration began, six children have died in custody. this is more details of one of those cases specifically and it raises a lot of red flags about why these children are not getting treatments sooner. we see all of these over crowding conditions and all conditions of children like this are being held in. why are they not getting help sooner? >> "the daily beast" is reporting i.c.e. told "happy hunting." tell me about that. >> "happy hunting" supposed to happen back in 2017. this is not an isolated use of dehumanizing phrase of happy hunting. our colleague has also reported that the phrase happy hunting was used by border patrol agents, we'll be doing random spot checks on greyhound buses and other modes of transportations. searches on public transportation. the idea that we'll see in facebook reports now of dehumanizing language towards members of congress and immigrants and u.s. government, i.c.e. agents are saying happy hunting when it comes to tracking down. an

he's tried to talk to the iranians several times to taut he was able to get a better deal than president. i think part of what's going on is president trump is disappointed, that the united states would have to lift sanctions. and trump was unwilling to do that. i think the final straw which is reported in the "new york times" article and i'm hearing from sources and colleagues is that president trump was furious, fuming that iraqis were almost storming the u.s. embassy in baghdad and he was very concerned, even scared, that there could be a benghazii moment on his watch. just like in 2012 when libyans stormed our compound in libya and killed the u.s. ambassador. president trump used that incident to vilify hillary clinton and president obama. they were very concerned they could have the same thing happen on their watch, and they took a rash really hasty decision. i don't think president trump or anyone around him have any idea what they've unleashed. >> it was a quick decision. killing soleimani is equivalent to the iran iranians assassinating the defense secretary. what kind of retalia

things are going to be happening on the ground but after parkland we also saw governor rick scott ins taut. have you heard of any sort of shift in texas headed by the go governor there. >> reporter: i spoke with the governor on friday and he said that something has to be done. we have to do more than just pray is what he told me. he is pushing for a series of round table discussions starting tomorrow where where he's hoping to implement policy statewide that will focus on mental health. he wants to come up with these questionnaires drafted by mental health profession fallals and that will have to be approved by parents in the state so that be begin tomorrow. the kids, however, eherbspecial those who survived the shooting has been inspired. i spoke to one girl in the ninth grade who told me we have to speak up because this cannot continue to happen. a lot of them traumatized efz dentally and afraid to go back to school and eherbal sply to see the empty desks of their classmates who didn't make it. one of the kids who got vur injured, he was the star pitcher of the local baseball team here a

meanwhile, inside the west wing a president who tauted himself as a dealmaker now unhappy about a bipartisan agreement. all of it as "the 11th hour" gets under way on a tuesday night. >>> good evening from our nbc news headquarters in new york. day 754 of the trump administration and there is new reporting underscoring the poshs of that man, paul manafort, as former trump campaign chairman to the mueller investigation. tomorrow manafort will be back in federal court for a hearing behind closed doors. the judge is expected to rule on whether she believes manafort lied to prosecutors, a decision that could impact his sentencing greatly. that's coming up in march. but it was a manafort hearing last week that continues to be of interest, last night and tonight. this evening "the washington post" has new reporting with revelations from that hearing, particularly the august 22, 2016 meeting in new york involving manafort, his deputy rick gates and their russian counterpart. as they write, quote, it was at that meeting that prosecutors believe manafort and kilimnik may have exchanged key informatio

been more concerned of tauting his supposedly historic victory than confronting an attack in our democracy. if the charge were unfitness for office, the verdict would already be in. guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. >> that's exactly the point, katy. those of us who covers this investigation and follow it closely puts too much stock into the stocks. the trump campaign did not need to collude with the russians. the russians were operating well enough on their own to help donald trump get elected. this should not be about crimes. yes, william barr essentially has on solved the president on crime. there is so much else that are congress investigates in terms of this president's conduct on both of those questions. what about all those contacts with russians and why do people lied about it and the firing of james comey and asking james comey to go easy on flynn. we don't have answers to those questions. what was trump's motive there and how did he do it? george conway did make it clear this is about fitness for office. >> it is comey's interview since the collusion of the mueller report. that's

denuclearization is not a unilateral disarmament which is what the trump administration has been tauting fouting for a time. north korea is looking far more like arms control. it will negotiate with the united states to slowly reduce its nuclear arsenal overtime but it will expect the same type of concession for the united states. the disagreements here between the trump administration and kim's regime over what denuclearization means have not been minimized in any way. >> lindsey, when you go out to dinner and somebody says to you, well, you are an expert on this, can you tell me what's going on here? it is hard to understand what's going on in the outside. what's the goal and what success is supposed to look like for president trump. is he putting together something. what are we looking at here from the outside? >> well, the trump administration has said for a long time that its goal is the complete varifiable denuclearization. essentially to agree to turn overall of its nuclear weapon materials. they would like the kim's regime to turn over the delivery system. they went beyond that t

. >> there is a big difference between tauting an administration than you are lobbying behalf of theormation using crypted messages to the uae government and trying to hide what you are doing and not disclosing that to the government. i take mr. gates his word that he had a good view of mr. barrack but he was not there with those phone calls. we don't know what they are hiding because this was being done and it was more like spying. >> yeah. we want to air some of these out. this is a case of big debates on both sides and touches big questions in washington for what's for sale and how is this lobbying work regardless of who's in power in the white house. appreciate both of you having the dialogue, rick and rinaldo, i am going to fit in a break. texas activists are on a march on an important issue. a voting rights story we have been covering. who aoc is teaming up with for which she calls jim crow 3.0. # lls jim crow 3.0 it's the sound of a thousand sighs of relief and of a company watching out for you. this is the sound of low cash mode from pnc bank, giving you multiple options and

does a message like cory booker tauted, does it ring or is it post-post partisanship? in your reaction from the clips we heard from cory booker. obviously, he's not the first politician from barack obama to be stressing these themes. but i don't think since barack obama in 2004 has there been more of a celebrated or pending celebration of cory booker. i wonder if the experience of the last four-plus year, does it ring true to you at all, eleanor? >> i think this is still the message people want to hear, even if they have less trust that can be delivered on. a couple years ago cory booker spoke at the gridiron dinner, this roasting of politicians in washington, and he went through this very funny riff on how he was basically exactly like obama. newark is the new hawaii. and i think he is -- he is modeling himself after the president. and i think he's betting that the tea party is just going to wear itself out. that if the senate elections shape up as they now seem to be, with the tea party primarying candidates and producing candidates so far to the right, democrats may

he tauts the faect that republicans have largely been unified in not believing whatever occurs on matters of ukraine that it does not rise to an impeachment offense. that's a lot of what we have been hearing from the president who gets a mix of sunshine and gold of his concerns. >> you understand how the white house navigates political pressure. do you think as you watch this white house and this president resign to impeachment but they feel 100% confident on the senate so now they can focus on galvanizing those voters in 2020 and using impeachment to galvanize them. >> chris, happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving my friend. >> in terms of the white house, my best thought certainly the way president clinton conducted his presidency during the he simile conpartmentalized. the white house is following right behind him. i think there are some feeling that they still have kind of a standoff here in terms of the congress with the senate but that's pretty fragile in my opinion. >> glenn, in the middle of all this impeachment stuff and all the political ramifications of it. there is this new

we found the ceo of sacramento tauted conspiracy theory of the election. any election auditing experience in his background. so that's when the question started to come up, who's involved and while they're overseeing on it is three other contractors at least are helping. we don't know who's exactly involved and we don't know who's paying cyber ninjas. the senate put up $150,000. this audit is costing way more than that. we are trying to figure out who all is involved in paying. we know when you know said they were fund raising and sidney powell says she was involved. it is hard when we are not given access. >> jen, reporter for the arizona republic, this would make a remarkable thriller and fictional novel but except that it is actually happening. thank you for your reporting. there is a huge difference between justice and accountability. you will hear more from the six black minnesotans i caught up after derek chauvin's conviction why they say there is still a lot of work to be done. say the lot of work to be done on wall street. or disrupt the status quo

her as forcefully as some might expect for a howard ground and the same goes for trump who has been tautingon in annual funding he reauthorized for minority serving institutions in 2019. $85 million of that for hbcu's. biden administration says they have done even more by expanding that funding, investing $16 billion to hbcu since 2021. $55 million to $16 billion is no comparison. i don't know what trump is bragging about it, i am saying that, not you. but still, some hbcu heads say they want more reassurance that the institutions and their students will be given priority. whoever wins, what is your reaction when you see the gap and about those that are saying yes, $16 billion is great but we need more? >> reporter: well, you know, there are only 101 hbcu, they can all endorse but they get 100 votes but hundreds of thousands and millions of alums and they are asking the questions, what changes will be made to support our hbcus? i will say that to give the biden-harris adieu over four years they stood up for and advocated on behalf of hbcu. they have given significant funding to hbcus. the r
