into the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein and claims to that even hillary clinton did her best to get in the way of more pain reports. harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement for more disturbing accusations emerged about hollywood executive harvey weinstein the most powerful man in hollywood was a serial predator up to 67 accusers ranging from inappropriate touching to rape they've been sexually assaulted by this monster is terrible terrible advantage disgusting even the former 1st lady couldn't stay away because women stick together i was shocked and appalled i was just sick i was shocked i was appalled the issue really is how terrible his behavior was and finally women have come forward to speak out about it this almost became a story that could have been because the investigation into weinstein in the rape allegations was almost killed by a channel that considers itself to be a bit of women's rights there has been no clear example this year of journalism's ability to change the world training films do almost nothing to stop the harassment when it comes to women and sexual harassment and a topic you kno

question for years has been why why because the network got a call from a certain harvey yes the same harvey harvey weinsteinwho threatened to expose matt lauer's nefarious activities if the story saw the light of day well it did anyway and farrow went to the new yorker and even wrote a book catch and kill weinstein made it known to the network that he was a well behaved and capable of revealing it and it looks like hillary clinton didn't want pharaoh's investigation to be published either her of all people hillary clinton had scheduled an interview all of us at the head of the weinstein reporting and her folks got in touch and said we're working on a big story sounded very concerned and tried to cancel that interview over the weinstein over the incident stuff errol claims that clinton's publicist approached him and pressured him to drop the story and what he says was weinstein's behest clinton's press people tried to. since themselves from the scandal i genuinely respect roman's work but have no idea what weinstein was saying to people to save himself what i do know is simple i've already rejected the wind

the story is that andy and noah and others at nbc news protected harvey weinstein for whatever reason. really, until the story about harveytein, it seems to be getting lost. >> actually, the details of it the choppiness , the acceptance the fawning on him. the flattery that they caught harvey weinstein's eyes. these experts from the book, there are amazing, and i'm actually reading it. i don't know him at all. i know much about him but i think it's only because of his particular situation that he was actually dogged enough to sit with the story. because what it is and you can see this when hillary's guys are trying to get ronan the brushoff, you can see that he's a kind of semicelebrity journalist. he is the son of mia farrow and woody allen and woody allen and mia both say that in fact he may be frank sinatra's on and then had to pay child support for frank sinatra son. but he's plugged in, never mind all that, he's also denting one of obama's former speechwriters. what this will story really is is at a certain level, it's understood that people have pathologies, people have publishers, people can be cycle for pathic her

the story is that they protected harvey weinstein for whatever reason. really, and killed a story about harveytein. that seems to be getting lost. >> yeah, and actually the chumming, the the acceptance of gifts, the fawning on him, the flattery. they are flattered that they caught harvey weinstein's t eye. these excerpts from running pharaoh's book are amazing and actually i reading it i don't kw running pharaoh at all, i don't know much about him, but i think it's actually only because of hiss particular situation that e was actually dogged enough to sit with the story, because what it is, and you can see this when hillary's guys are trying to give ronan farrell to brush off, ronan farrell is a kind of semicelebrity journalist. he's the son of mia farrow and woody allen and woody allen and mia both say that in fact he may be frank sinatra's son and woody allen complains that he's had to pay child support for frank sinatra's son. there's a whole complicated thing there but he says plugged in, never mind all that, he's also dating one of obama's former speechwriters and this -- and what this wh

harvey weinstein story. they protected matt lauer, but nbc's top executives are stillll sitting in their offices earning millions of dollars in salary. why is that? that's next. ♪ >> tucker: nbc got caught covering up for harvey weinstein. harveyin! you might think that would be a career enter for the people who got caught doing it, that would include the president of nbc news. no, we learned yesterday that he his contractad renewed. how did he do that? how do you get caught covering up a harvey weinstein crime and get a new contract? a neww report from "the daily beast" provides a hint. turns out that his wife wrote a couple of books and has a line of baby clothes, they have a talked on the air repeatedly about it. that's odd. i've never seen that arrangement on television. they have been one of the top offenders at nbc. here is another question. why was he so eager to protect harvey weinstein? it may not have been about protecting matt lauer. it turns out weinstein had something that he wanted. he was immensely powerful in "the daily beast" reports that he were to leave used his nbc post to advance a second career as a screenwriter. that's not news people have been watching, we told you but long ago. nbc had this story month

weinstein?is really harvey - i went around and asked people, like every person i could find, is that really harvey? and some people were, like, yeah. yeah. it is. others were as shocked as me. but i found out pretty quickly that he was invited and no one was going to ask him to leave. i was totally shocked that he seemed to just be accepted as like a normal presence in this space. >> you mentioned as we saw to the audience that you are a rape survivor you say. >> yes. >> and this must have been traumatizing for you. >> yeah. it was really triggering and the feeling of being triggered, it feels like your body, you feel like you're in danger like your body is going into fight or flight protect yourself mode. and seeing him and seeing everyone treat it so normally i think how people react to it is the most triggering aspect. and so when someone says, shut up, that to me reminds me of being silenced as a rape victim or not believed as a rape victim and so it's very jarring and i was sitting on the side of the stage just staring at my phone asking friends what i should do. i didn't know if i should lea

to talk about this story, rose mcgowan suing harvey weinstein, and this was a massive story that launched the #metoo movement. what is happening now? harveying to stop rose mcgowan from publishing her men now and to silence her, —— publishing her memoir. this fits in with a pattern of books published by people including the new york times reporter who exposed him. on top of the crimes of sexual harassment and rape allegations was a culture of silencing through things like nondisclosure agreements. things that people are sometimes forced to accept. absolutely and often the way the legal system works, it is often their only choice and women feel pressured to sign these peace agreement that many of the victims did because it was easier than going out again someone of his stature. he also employed an israeli organisation, kind of intelligence and security operation, to essentially spy on the reporters in the hopes of getting to their sources, and again silencing these women. yes, it is another lawsuit against harvey weinstein but it exposes this big cultural problem that we have in which the powerful can silence victims. harvey weinstein, we

inarguable that there were secret contacts with harvey weinstein that were concealed in which explicit promises were made to kill this story. that is something harveyeinstein claims in his legal threat letters to me-k and it is something that after several years of reporting the facts back up. >> and what did you believe at that time that weinstein had on matt lauer? >> we make it clear that nbc news had a set of secrets in their legal and corporate practices that were under threat of exposure. >> reporter: in that staff memo oppenheim pushes back on ronan. "we has no basis on which to rest his second conspiracy theory that weinstein reporting was squashed to protect lawyer." >> this is a company that is now confronting very credible, very tough reporting, much of it coming from sources within that company. but i certainly hope it opens up a broader conversation about the need for accountability in media. >> reporter: and yet while ronan attempts to speak truth to power, he still grapples with his own difficult truths. perhaps chief among them not standing up for his sister dylan farrow when she first claimed she suffered sexual assault. >> was the

harvey weinstein. here's what ronan farrow's book says. i want your reaction to this quote. farrow brings a recording by the nypd to nbc and in it, harveytein admits that he abused an italian model. on tape. noah oppenheim responds "my view is that the tape and harvey weinstein grabbing a lady's breasts a couple years ago, that's not national news." does that surprise you, having worked there? >> nothing surprises me anymore. in this industry. as i watched the ronan story n unfold, the one thing i wanted to know is what did they know and when did they know it. i've been reporting on the story even while i was at nbc. i talked to ronan. i talkedle to his producer. i talked to rose mcgowan. i talked to many harvey weinstein victims and accusers and was getting to the bottom of what nbc knew while i was there. and then just independently. the question is what did they know about matt lauer prior to the time the woman came forward who was ultimately his downfall? she came forward. her name is brooke nevils. made an allegation against matt lauer and the company's wholeam defense to ronan's book essentially has been that's the first we knew a

decades in fact, harvey weinstein's conduct was an open secret, the public may have been oblivious to what he was really like, but the people around him and worked around him knew that harveynstein, was a creep and a predator, it was glaringly obvious. some of them were brave enough to joke about it at awards shows. >> congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to's be attracted to harvey r weinstein. [laughter] >> tucker: so when ronan farrell began an investigation into his behavior, it didn't take long to unearth a mother lode of evidence, evidence that the movie producer was a monster. it was a remarkable scoop, the w about, so they took their story to executives at nbc where they worked. instead of congratulating them, the network killed the investigation. farrow who later wrote a book about it said this. >> we had a story that journalists looked down and said "this should get on error immediately." we had a record the admission of guilt from harvey weinstein security during a police sting operation. this was a case where a news organization didn't behave journalistically, they ordered us to stop, to not take the call, and to cancel interviews with all

harvey weinstein alone. if you want to get what we've got, stop it. stop bothering harvey weinstein. was the message to ronan farrow from hillary clinton. now weinstein had been a long time fund-raiser for the clinton family. clinton wanted to protect on the matter how many women he was hurting, and there were quite a few, apparently. several months later, weinstein returned hillary's favor. sent an email and paste a docu series about, you guessed it, hillary clinton. called the idea absolutely stunning. but do not be surprised. nbc news is in the tank for the democratic party and also in the tank for harvey weinstein. when farrow started his investigation, he may not have known this he was still in nbc employee at the time. when the company started this despite that he had it nailed, he run won a pulitzer prize on it. we now know why they passed on the scoop of the decade. according to the book, weinstein dug up allegations on matt lauer and threatened to expose him if nbc did not squash the story on him. to protect top talent, nbc let harvey weinstein abused women and they've been

harvey weinstein which they clearly did. in the piece, you unearth evidence that weinstein lawyers, david boys had been assured that you would not do reporting on harveynstein. >> that's correct, part of this goes to ronan, what he unearthed in his book -- the piece quotes an incident where that happened where david boys who's an an attorney for weinstein at the time on behalf of mr. weinstein went to get assurance from nbc of what was going on with the story and was told that we are no longer doing a story on him. >> tucker: you've worked at a number of different television networks, you're a supervising producer at nbc, not a small job. have you ever heard of a network assuring the target of an investigation or the subject of a story that they are not going to report on him? >> never. never. >> tucker: what do you think this was about? >> i think everybody who has read the book "catch and kill" and hopefully people who read what i wrote now see what it was about and ronan did an excellent job of connecting the dots. a, this was a very powerful person, harvey weinstein still had one of the biggest producers of hollywood and had an extreme ability to

thing you document is this dark world that harvey weinstein entered to intimidate news organizations from reporting on him including spying on you. >> harveymossad agents with the firm called black cube who in turn hired contractors who surveilled me, tracked me, built dossiers on both me and survivors of alleged assault by harvey weinstein to try to squash this story. >> a friend told you you had to think about buying a gun. >> i was told by sources to buy a gun. i moved out of my home and here's the thing, i say all this and report it in detail not to be woe is me but to illustrate the threats to the free press in this country. we are at a moment where powerful people are able to subvert the media, law, and the free press and that is a threat to our democracy. and around the world the stakes are even higher, journalists get killed for reporting stories. it's got to stop. we have to protect this precious institution. >> it has not stopped potential witness, people have stories to tellthrowing things ov ur transom? >> i have a lot of sources coming in all the time and i'm so grateful for that. i'm able to tell the story which is ultimately

come out of hollywood, thinking of harvey weinstein for example, it's been an open secret for years that he was treating people badly. i'm not equating de niro to harveyeinstein. i'm just wondering if you ever heard that de niro treated people like this. >> oh, yeah. i have heard rumors that de niro had his moments. here's the problem, he has played too many gangsters. he's played too many gangsters. he is believing the hype now. you're just a lucky actor from new york, robert. settle down. >> dana: a de niro, basically she said she was treated as an office wife and made her do stereotypical female duties like housework, et cetera, underpaying her. he decided to sue her. figuring out a way to precounterpunch. >> yeah, it's a breakup. precounterpunch is just a hint. they are both ridiculous. >> dana: to your point that he's playing, he's become himself in the actor that he plays. listen to how he ripped president trump recently. >> this guy should not be president, period. this guy is like a gangster. he has come along and he has said things, done things, we say over and over again this is terrible. this guy is crazy. we've got to get him out. >> dana:

in that interview, rose also claimed that harvey weinstein had tried to reach out to her. this was a month ago. you had a text from harveys with him. on his behalf? on his behalf. what did it say? i shook. it was like a bullet once again. it was basically just kind of this person reaching out. i don't even understand what the point was. i can't understand because the cat is out of the bag. i said it loud for years because what so said it loud for years because what so many people need to realise is that the shame is not ours. it is his. it is the shame of the perpetrator, not the victim. but what was the nature of the text? my guess is that it was essentially about like so and so wants you to... it was kind of like getting a hold of you, or the alluding to, i don't know why. it was completely insane, frankly. he wanted you to? harvey weinstein wanted to get in touch with you? it could have been some random person, but that would be a long shot. rose mcgowan talking to us long shot. rose mcgowan talking to us last year and she has just filed to sue harvey weinstein. some breaking news on the programme, and this is really

harvey weinstein. watch. >> we did indeed have multiple named women in every draft of the story. we had a taped confession from harvey is the ordered a hard stop to reporting. they told me and a producer working on this theft we should not take a single call. they told us to cancel interviews. the question for years has been, why? every journalist at that institution didn't understand why. >> harris: in the motor colleagues, nbc news chairman lack says it paints a fundamentally untrue picture of the handling of the weinstein story. james freeman's assistant editorial page editor of "the wall street journal," a fox news contributor. james, what do you make all thi this? >> they've got two >> i think nbc has to knock down the ronan farrow story, or knock it down. when it comes out, he says he has a lot of documents to show what he calls a trail of settlements that were not exposed earlier. some related to other people. >> harris: it is up to nbc did knock down the charges in this book. maybe they would not stop the story. if you can kill it, why would you -- why try to kill the story of the facts were true? >> the stor

for his part, harvey weinstein is current waiting trial on several charges including sexual assault and denied all allegations of non-consensual but the last part of the harvey weinstein story, the part told right now is the story of how the story got told at all. the story of great journalism and how it gets done. and in the last few weeks, we've had two of these journalistic thrillers published. jodi kantor and megan touhy on "she said" and now ronan farrow telling his story in "catch and kill." the pressure brought to bear on him, his sources and employers, really everyone around him as he tried to report this story. the private detectives following him around, the legal threats, constant approaches from people representing themselves as fellow journalists or emissaries from decent-sounding non-profit organizations, people it would later emerge were, in fact, intelligence agents working on behalf of the israeli private intelligence firm. it was also the alliance between weinstein and executives at the national enquirer that farrow said published smear pieces about him when he reported unflattering news. the enquirer gathered dirt on weinstein's accusers a
