hillary vaughn has the story at the white house. >> reporter: binance is paying a $4 billion penalty, the largest corporate penalty in u.s. history, after the company is accused of turning a blind eye to terrorists on their exchange. >> binance was allowing illicit actors to transact freely. that includes transactions associated with terror risk groups like hamas' brigades. binance processed these transactions, but it never filed a single suspicious activity report. >> reporter: it wasn't just terrorist groups like hamas that utilized binance for their criminal activities. about 75% of binance's illegal transactions were tied to iran, a way to get around sanctions. binance reacting to the decision saying they're taking responsibility and ready to move on saying, quote, when binance first launched, it did not have compliance controls adequate for the company it was quickly becoming, and it should have. binance made misguided decisions along the way. today binance takes responsibility for this past chapter. liz? elizabeth:hill i vaugh

hillary vaughn tried to get a comment from the congress woman about that.ere it is. >> congress woman, do you regret using the phrase "from the river to the sea." do you regret using it? the white house says that phrase can be anti-semitic. are you anti-semitic, congress woman talib? are you anti-semitic congress woman talib? are you anti-semitic congress woman talib? are you anti-semitic congress woman talib? >> martha: she doesn't want to answer those questions. she has said that from the river to the sea is a call for -- is a quote freedom, human rights and peaceful co existence statement, not death, destruction or hate statement. so this story i think a lot of us that watch these this morning felt kind of sick about watching some of what was being said on tik tok. especially if you know any one that was lost on september 11th in this country. you would find this very disturbing. osama bin laden's letter to america that he wrote a year after 9-11 blamed the united states for the attacks of that day that killed almost 3,000 people and now these people who

when hillary vaughn ask you about what you think of the israeli children?n't answer, but she cries when she talks about the palestinians, which is fine. she is trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and she should have been censured, but i think at the end what is going to happen is all of the squad, apparently, is being primary to now, and i think the voters will decide whether or not they even stay in congress. >> greg: dana, do you think those precious little protesters are aware that the folks behind the so-called freedom fighters are billionaires living it up in splendor while palestinians are encouraged to kill and die for them? >> dana: i don't know if they know but if anybody could tell them about that it could be rashida tlaib. she has their ear and could do a lot of good on behalf of the palestinian people. instead, she complains about every other rich person except for these guys. i do appreciate that 22 democrats voted on the censure but i do feel that the story actually may be should be 188 democrats voted with her. 188. i understand ther

hillary vaughn on capitol hill. what do republicans want?sition on december 13th and then they say they'll schedule a public hearing, but we talked to democratic lawmakers today who are defending hunter biden's lawyers' decision to turn down a closed door deposition invite and instead offer to have hunter show up to a public hearing instead. do you think hunter biden should have to show up the his closed door deposition? >> no, i don't think he should show up for a closed door deposition. >> reporter: why not? >> because chairman comer has distorted everything he's said. the whole point of the private deposition is so you can cherry pick quotes and distort what he says. he wants his testimony, let it be in public, and then he can't distort what he said. >> reporter: democrats did dozens of closed door depositions over weeks during the trump impeachment. why is it not okay for republicans? >> because no one was accusing democrats of distorting what anybody said, and the witnesses didn't object to it. >> reporter: but republicans say that spec

hillary vaughn is live on capitol hill. division on full display today. >> you are right, this hearing today kicked off to kind of an ironic start, pro palestinian protestors shout over jewish college students invited by lawmakers to testify about the threats, the attacks and the antisemitism that they are experiencing on campus. but talking here today, sharing their viewpoint they found just as difficult on capitol hill as they do back on campus. these students told lawmakers that many of them have seen swastikas on campus, and don't think the schools are doing enough. and they say massive pro palestinian anti-israel protests are funded by somebody and want to follow the money. >> the protestors followed out don't understand they are playing into the hands of iran. we need to fully fund investigations into the funding that goes to antisemitism. >> but democrats say republicans need to put their money where their mouth is, saying if they really want to fight antisemitism they need to fully fund president biden's request for

hillary vaughn on capitol hill. okay, what's the administration saying about these concerns?rt, the administration says that hamas is not getting their hands on this aid that they've seen trickle in so far, but senate republicans say that they've already accessed this aid and have continued to do so even in the past. so they don't want to give the president u.s. taxpayer dollars to help what they say would be helping israel's terrorist enemy. a dozen senate republicans led by senator marsha blackburn are opposing biden's request for $9 billion to the send aid to the palestinians in gaza saying hamas has already shown they can't keep their hands off of it. >> hamas is intercepting so much of the aid that is going into gaza. even last week they were stealing 24,000 the heat ors of fuel -- liters of fuel, they were stealing food. aye talked to people from all over the country. they don't want their tax dollars going into hamas. >> reporter: but white house officials dispute that saying that they have no proof so far that hamas has intercepted or stolen the aid trickling in. they

fox's hillary vaughn as some of them about that today. todal >> congresswoman, could i ask you really quickly, why wh you condemnckly, why anti-semitism? i do every day. why didn't you vote foemitism?r the bill that would condemn anti-semitism? because of every day. why every single day? why didn't you vote forit on the resolution that condemned anti-semitism on college campuses? >> because i didn't agrecoe with the resolution. but i've condemned anti-semitism a million times. and we're fighting to end anti-semitism in a real way, in fighting the hate in all its forms. >> why can't you condemn anti-semitism on college campuses? i condemn anti-semitic ism and islamophobia and hate in all its forms, repeatedly. >> why didn't you vote for the resolution? you wouldn't vote for it, would you? a grea against it job, hillary. there's anti there's an anti-semitism problem in this countr>> they. nk in a way i didn't think was possible. and it's all on the left. last week at tulane university, not known for its jewish community or for islamophobia,

vaughn. in any event, i was writing a paper 2007, obama was camped out in iowa. hillary clinton was ratcheting up. clearly, she was running for president. and i thought it wasurious because i've done all this work on of television and gender roles and representation i was curious about the the portrayal of the president, men of color, perhaps, and also by women i was really looking at what who would get the nomination based on what i saw in popular culture. was it more likely to be barack obama or was it more likely to be hillary clinton? on the democratic side, 2008. and i remember when morgan freeman played the president in this movie about an asteroi hitting the earth in 1998 called deept, a he was the president of the united states. as you see him there and there was another movie that came about a fter it. so ty had both been greenlit at the same time in hollywood in hollywood called armageddon. and billy bob thornton played the president inhat. so you have asteroids hitting the ear as the narrative and in one movie you have a black president and, one movie, you hav

hillary clinton the white house. phil rucker is the national editor for "the washington post" and msnbc political analyst. nbc's vaughnlyard joins me here. so, vaughn, west virginia is a state that donald trump carried by 39 points, something like that, and obviously it's a red seat that joe manchin held for the democrats, though he might have caused some angst. >> the seat is going into republican hands now, governor jim justice or alex mooney are likely to pick up the seat. unless democrats win against ted cruz in texas or rick scott in florida they have to hold on to seven battle ground states to remain even. we're not talking about the majority but remaining even. you're talking about wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, nevada, and then the two states of ohio, sherrod brown's seat, tester's seat in montana. those are two difficult states and of course you've got arizona on the map, where ruben gallego is running on the democratic like. kyrsten sinema has not announced a bid, but that would be a competitive, difficult three-way race. republicans look like they're in good condition with joe manchin bowing out of the
