carol tracy: glad to be here. erin: all right, so first tell us your reaction to all of this, when you first heard about the weinstein scandal. carol: well, i think it's not the first scandal of this type that we've heard, but what we've been seeing i would say in the last 5 or 6 years, from campus activism, to cosby, now to weinstein, is that women simply are saying, "we're done with it, we've had enough of it, and we're not going to put up with it." and that's pretty remarkable, i think. i think that sexual harassment in the workplace, sexual harassment in social settings is not new. and certainly the hollywood stories and the couch interviews people have heard about forever. but the difference is, i think, that women are standing up. now, clearly there have been legal protections for many, many years. but in many cases, people felt that the powerful men that they would be accusing would strike back. and in some cases, they did. and i think--i think we've seen a cultural shift that's really quite dramatic. erin:

carol lee is joining me from new york with some of the exclusive report. carol, walk us through what we have just learning. >> sure, thank you, hallie. what we know from two people familiar with the facebook ads, the list of states that the russian-tied ads targeted during the campaign includes not just michigan and wisconsin, which has been reported, but also maryland, new york, california, texas, ohio and missouri. and specifically on ohio and missouri, we're told that they were targeted to those states because they had seen police violence. and we know that these ads have been, in part, were aimed at sewing racial divisions. that is what these particular ads in ohio and missouri were believed to be designed to do. now, the interesting thing about this, and by the way, i should mention, this is not a definitive list of states, but what it gives is a broader picture of how russia was using these ads to target. and what it suggests is that there was not necessarily what you would consider a traditional presidential politics targeting. because states like n

i can tell you she was asked earlier this week in the briefing in the wake of the briefing that carol was just talking about. the fact that the president undercut his own secretary of state over the weekend. and it's not the first time, we all recall the crisis in qatar, the president and secretary of state took two very different views on that as well and behind the scenes, i am told that there were a whole host of policy issues, where he saw things very differently. the bottom line here, and it's striking that you didn't hear the secretary of state refute the fact that he called the president a moron, our story is widely -- 12 current and past administration officials corroborated are reporting, seven specifically saying that the secretary of state did intend to resign and now those tongu tensions have been brought to the forefront. the problem for the administration is now it potentially becomes a real policy crisis for them, as they tried to deal with north korea, one of the most pressing problems facing the president right now. >> and tillerson -- whether he can be seen as someon

let me go to carol on this. carol, i think that i've watched now for three days now, ever since your reporting on the word "moron," which maybe isn't the most important thing ever reported, but it is fascinating the way nobody has denied it. not huckabee sanders, not the secretary of state, not the president. any one of them could have come out with their mouths and say, he didn't call me a moron. they haven't. >> that's right. and that's because it's true. the only two people who have denied are r.c. hammons -- >> who doesn't know. >> well, who also, you know, had -- said something to nbc that the vice president's office said was absolutely, patently false. and secretary tillerson and the press secretary at the state department. they're the only two people who have come out and denied that secretary tillerson said that. so i think, you know, the secretary had multiple opportunities yesterday to knock that down and he very specifically chose not to. >> the next time the president talks about sicking investigator

carol lee is standing by for us. carol, first of all, how did the secretary of state's response to your story, how did that jibe with the story itself? >> well, he didn't deny the story. pretty much it basically corroborated it in many ways. let's talk -- let's take this piece by piece. the secretary said that vice president mike pence never counselled him to not resign. our story doesn't say that. it says that vice president mike pence gave secretary tillerson a pep talk. according to a number of officials, including in the white house, was seen as a liaison to try to get rex tillerson to -- as one person put it to us, to be more respectful of the president in private and publicly. and that he essentially delivered a message to him saying, look, you need to get on board with the president's agenda if this is going to work, if you're going to move forward. that conversation, that meeting happened after secretary mattis and john kelly, who's now the chief of staff, had conversations with tillerson and tried to convinc

carol what more have we learned about this attack?you said, you know, officials who we spoke with now believe that this was a setup. what's unclear is whether -- is exactly what part was the setup. there are multiple officials who are now saying that when the u.s. soldiers were trying to leave this meeting, they were delayed. was that so these militants who we think were isis, so they could set up the ambush? what we are also learning today is that part of this mission involved looking for a high-value individual. looking for someone who was a target, a specific objective. again, as everything with this story has been, with every new fact we get, we have more questions. we don't know whether the mission was to gather information to find this individual or whether there was any component that was a potential kill or capture. whatever the special mission of these forces is in niger, it's to advise and accompany the niger military. so that means that, you know, if they were going out, if the nigerian military was going out on some sort o

redskins hold on to win 26-24 and with more on this redskins win, we love them carol maloney, hi, carolter: it's a w and that's all that matters. guess how many times i heard that postgame in the redskins locker room today. i lost count actually. it's true a two point victory, it counts just the same as a ten-point victory or 20 point victory. it comes with a lot less celebrating. >> we're starting to turn a corner a little bit when with you're not quite as ecstatic. i think there's a lot of things to cleanup. any time you get a victory on sunday afternoon at home it's special. >> what he's pointing to holding ourselves to a high standard and expecting great perfo it is a good thing when you have high expectations. >> we got a w, it don't matter, ugly, perfect, ugly good, it don't matter. it's a w. >> it wasn't a super bowl for us. we know we got to go out there and execute and keep the ball moving forward. eliminate all the messed up plays. >> a win's a win which ultimately it is but we could've done a lot better and really made that a lot easier on ourselves and eliminated some of tho

but carol lee, we certainly can guess at this point. tell us more about this explosive story and other details around that meeting. >> sure, well, mika, this was a meeting that came a day after the president had a meeting at the white house in the situation room, where he equally stunned his advisers when they were discussing afghanistan policy by comparing that process to the renovation of a new york restaurant and so he followed that up. and they're now moving over to the pentagon. it's a smaller group of officials. they're giving him a briefing of u.s. military capabilities and assets around the world, they're going all the way around the globe, saying this is what we have here, here and here. at one point they show him this slide that shows u.s. and russian nuclear arsenals from the 1950s until now. it goes, you know, like this. for the u.s., the president looks at it and said, you know, i want that i want more, the moon. why don't we have that many? which at its peak in the late 1960s was around 32,000 compared to the current arsen
