in, i was screaming his name, just screaming and screaming, "benjie, benjie, benjie!" so he saw me and he walked toward me. >> so it was more of a relief than i can even convey when i came on to the boat and i put my arms around her and i thought finally we're together, we're on the life boat, we're safe and this is over. but it was not over. we're on the port side of the ship, which is the high side. as they try to lower it down to the water, it starts hitting against the side of the cruise ship. sometimes it free falls for three feet and then we suddenly get jerked into place. >> i suddenly realized that they had no idea what was going on and they did not know how to operate the life boat. they had never done this. and i remember looking down and thinking if these people don't know what's going to happen and if something happens, we're going to fall straight down and we will die by hitting the deck. so that was the first moment that i felt fear, that i thought we're going to die. >> this went on for about ten minutes before they gave up and realized that they couldn'

so at that moment i looked at benjie and said let's get out of here as fast as we can. and we ran out of the other side of the restaurant. >> and while we were in the restaurant figuring out whether we could climb down to our cabin again, the ship pivoted so that when we came out on the other side, we were facing open water. so as far as we knew, we were out in the middle of the sea. and we could feel the ship sinking and sinking and sinking. >> translator: the night of the accident with the concordia ship, we did not have the classic help message or may day. in reality the passengers had begun to call phones on land. when we found out about this at the central operating center, we immediately called the concordia, asking the captain how this happened. >> good evening, "costa concordia," do you have problems on board? >> affirmative. we have a blackout on board. we are checking the situation. >> the information that they provided was so vague that it left out amongst anyone who has experience with the sea. the operating center immediately triggered rescue vessel, knowin

benji, you can start, you've been working on this all week.id of steve bannon in the white house, in the west wing? >> well, this is the concern. there hasn't been someone like steve bannon in a republican administration. he's been this very kind of burn it all down, inflammatory site that's had pretty aggressive efforts to play up the alt-right and try to bring in this audience that really gets into issues of white nationalism, that you discussed earlier. and that's a scary prospect for a lot of republicans, who really have instinctively recoiled from this. during the campaign, they try to paint the distinction, where, we love the mike pence part of the campaign and we love it when he sounds like a normal republican. and we'll just kind of ignore that breitbart wing that's talking about strange muslim conspiracies and talking about banning muslims. you're not going to be able to do that when it's one of the most powerful people in the white house, who has the president's ear every day. that's the point where it's going to start affecting poli

katy tur is joining me on the phone and benji sarlin. put this in context for us what occurred tonight. >> i'm not at reno. i'm in north carolina where trump had an event earlier in the day. trump abruptly was rushed off stage by secret service in the middle of his remarks. it was unclear from the press vantage point which is in the press about 100 feet from where donald trump was. a man was escorted out. it is unclear what the man had to do with this, whether or not he was attempting to do something to donald trump at that moment after donald trump had been rushed off stage and the man had been escorted out. the crowd in the room, some of them left frankly. some of them stayed. many of them stayed and berated the press. it's unclear the situation that led to this. i've spoken to a few secret service sources who say they're going to -- they're checking in on this, but in a typical situation like this if a man does pull a gun, i'm told the typical protocol in a case like this would be for the secret service to audibly yell gun. not only a

joining me is michael steele and benjy sarlin. it's also not like hidden.e's very much explicit about the role that vengeance, retribution, you hit me, i hit you, it's central to the way he's conducted his campaign and his world view. >> this is part of what people like about donald trump and what donald trump thinks himself as his guiding principle. i'm a counterpuncher, he'll say, you have to fight fire with fire, he'll say and applies this to so many different things, i thought it would be good to take this as the way it explains his view and politically he'll attack opponents viciously, coming up with some excuse saying they attacked him but also with a policy level, torture, taking out families of suspected terrorists. >> killing terrorist family members is quite illegal. >> yes. >> michael, the thing i keep thinking about it, there's this creation with donald trump's campaign how he went to the last correspondents' dinner and the president dressed him down and poked fun at him and i'll get you back. you wonder how that's going to be directed at the re

this is reporting from my colleague katy tur and benjy sarlin talking to senior advisers about what a transition would look like for donald trump's team. who would be on sort of the next administration. how does secretary of state newt gingrich sound to you? that's one possibility. rudy giuliani for attorney general. mike flynn as possibly a defense secretary, that's something we have been hearing about since maybe august, just speculatively since he started going to those intelligence briefings when they began, and a couple names there for finance, steve mnuchin and lieu isenberg. >> wall street guy. >> yeah, these are names that people know. obviously, it's a time when you would be thinking about the transition. did you notice who is not on the list? >> the head of his transition team. >> correct, chris christie. >> governor of my home state. >> dealing with bridgegate for a while. i was told by a very good source that he was still doing all the weekly meetings for transition, even with the trial happening. still varinvolved, even though he hadn't been quite as visible on the tv cir
