gabe sherman obtained the lawsuit. he's still here with nick ackerman, former assistant special water gate prosecutor. so, gabe, is there something in here, some sort of smoking gun or anything of any strength that directly ties the president -- i do notice on the first page of the lawsuit, they quote a voice mail and a text message from a wealthy trump supporter. boasting that president trump himself had reviewed drafts of the fox news story just before it went to air and was published. >> yeah. that's fascinating. on the surface, it shows that at least the wealthy trump surrogate is willing to brag about trump being involved. the other thing i found interesting is that the lawsuit alleges that sean spicer was involved in these meetings in the run-up to publication of this story and that he was being briefed on the progress of if fox news conspiracy about this murdered dnc staffer. we should point out ed told me he did not personally talk to trump about it and fox news is denying it. i reached out to the white house f

gabe gutierrez is in the middle of it all. >> lester, good evening. the conditions here are deteriorating rapidly. now a cal gory 4 storm. more than 30,000 homes and businesses are already without power. and local authorities are preparing for a very long night. the texas governor has declared a state of emergency for 30 counties, but there's no clear indication exactly how many people have heeded the warnings to evacuate. this would be the strongest storm to slam into the u.s. in 12 years. and again, right now there is pounding wind and rain, and we expect the worst of this to hit the corpus christi overnight. lester. >> all right. gabe gutierrez tonight. thank you. we appreciate you spending part of your evening with us. that is nightly news for this friday night. i'm lester holt. for all of us at nbc news, thank you for watching. and good night. >>> we are not going to go down there. with he a we are not going to have a rally at crissy fields. >>> two conservative groups have canceled their controversial rallies. but the police department aren't ba

gabe sherman still with me on the phone. gabe sherman vanity fair, msnbc, gave the one who booked a few moments ago about mr. bannon's return to breitbart. gabe, what do we think breitbart is going to become now? >> well, the most important thing to look at is that they are focused on the issue not the man. only to advance this populist nationalist agenda, which is tough on trade, very hard line on immigration and issues like that and again political correctness. trump was a vehicle for that but now that bannon is out and if trump waivers and the jared kushner wing of the white house gains influence and trump mod rates, we'll see breitbart go to war against donald trump. wheel steve bannon and donald trump had a close relationship and by all accounts idealogically they are very much in sync. if he believes donald trump is betraying this economic nationalist movement he's been a leader of, he'll use every tool he has, including brieitbart to fight back. donald trump is making what appears to be a powerful enemy out of steve b

nbc's gabe gutierrez is driving through corpus christi. gabe, you just left an evacuation center.t's been more than a decade, though, since texas was hit by a large storm. are people taking it seriously? >> reporter: hi there, good afternoon. yes, since hurricane ike was the last time texas had to deal with this. and, in fact, this storm has the potential to be stronger than ike. potentially the strongest storm in the state of texas for nearly half a century. and the first category 3 hurricane in the united states in 12 years. so, yes, we just did come from an evacuation center here in corpus christi, texas. they have so far processed more than 700 people over the last day or two. and they have been busing them over to san antonio. we spoke with one woman, she just was with her 6-week-old daughter and she was frantically trying to get to safety. another woman who was 97 years old, she's been through storms before, but she felt that she had to head to san antonio. another woman who was seven months pregnant. certainly a lot of people realizing that this is a very serious situation,

>> gabe, thank you so much. and jonathan greenblatt, it's striking that angela merkel spoke, the chancellor of germany, spoke out against the neo-nazis in charlottesville, virginia, before the president of the united states had. >> yeah. i mean, it's interesting to hear the responses, the analyses of your guests. but i've got to say, naming names and talking about who actually showed up at the rally and giving the president credit for that, giving the president credit for saying "racism is evil and it's a tragedy an innocent woman was killed," i'm sorry, i expect more from our commander-in-chief. this statement was insufficient. there was no plan of action. the president didn't call on doj to make sure all law enforcement is trained up in how to deal with hate. he didn't call the department of education to develop anti bias, anti hate content for schools. he didn't even say that people on his staff with links to white supremacists have no place on the payroll of the american people. so let's be clear. we should
