tonight i spoke to a source close to megyn kelly and asked about the reports suggesting that kelly is looking for a $50 million settlement from nbc, and that her show was canceled. well, that source said, quote, it sounds untrue. jeff, nbc executives are expected to talk with megyn kelly's attorney tomorrow. >> all right, jericka, just outside 30 rock for us. jericka, thank you. >>> we are learning new details tonight about the deaths of two visitors at yosemite national park in california. john blackstone reports they fell from a popular but extremely dangerous place to take pictures. >> once again, tough point. >> reporter: the young couple ventured to the edge of this overlook, 3,000 feet above the yosemite valley floor. moments later, photographer jeff hall shot this video of the spot where they fell. >> supposedly there is a crime scene up there, so i can't shoot from there. >> reporter: taft point has become a popular and impressive photo destination for newlyweds and hikers taking selfies perrilessly close to the edge. there are more than 13,000 sites on instagram. >> no railin

i'm megyn kelly. >> reporter: kelly did not appear on her show this morning.t was a rerun. >> the staff of her show was told on thursday morning that "megyn kelly today" the 9:00 a.m. show would not be returning with megyn kelly. >> reporter: it's what she said tuesday that got her in trouble. >> what is racist, because, truly you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on halloween, or a black person who puts on white face for halloween. when i was a kid that was okay as long as you were dressing up as a character. >> reporter: the next day she apologized. >> and i want to begin with two words-- i'm sorry. i learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not okay. >> reporter: but her colleagues at the "today" show had already taken a stance earlier that morning. >> the fact is, while she apologized to the staff, she owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country. >> reporter: this is not the first time kelly made headlines on race-related topics. as host of the "kel

now she is a protege of john kelly's. he brought her when he became chief of staff to the white house for a couple of months and persuaded president trump to nominate her to lead the dhs. john bolton said she essentially started to need to do her job, a sentiment that president trump agrees with and took john bolton aside with all of this today and set john kelly off to where people thought he genuinely could resign. today things were dramatic different. i'm told by multiple people witness to this argument and especially that john kelly was even more angered by the fact that he saw president trump as siding with john bolton over all of this. now, what's going to happen going forward is an open question. some officials are denying that anyone is going to resign over this, but we do know that john kelly didn't travel with president trump to where jim is in that rally in montana. he wasn't scheduled to, but he's not by the president's side, and also john bolton continued on with his regularly scheduled meetings and what not

kelly confronting liecorey lewandowski.bbed corey lewandowski by the collar, shoved him against the wall and the secret service then intervened. why the focus on this instance? it's not the first time kelly's temper has gotten the best of him. last fall kelly was in a scuffle with a chance official in bay jiang over the nuclear football. joining us is washington magazine's correspondent and former white house deputy chief of staff for bill clinton. mar maria, i want to start with you. how stressful is the job of chief of staff? should john kelly get a pass for some of these past actions? >> i don't know if he should get a pass. we expect professionalism at all levels, especially in the white house. but there is no question that the level of stress in that -- in the west wing, in the office of chief of staff, is unrelenting day after day, in part because the events of the world impact what your principal, the president, is involved in and you can't plan for that. i also think he's got to be very frustrated. he's a military m

what's happened to that john kelly? >> that john kelly has become much harder end on immigration as we know and we have seen it. i don't know how much has been influenced by this president's desires or how much of it has been influenced by his own opinion or whether he has seen something in the numbers or the data or the information that has changed his opinion, but it is striking the contrast between that john kelly and the one we see now who has been supportive of much of what the president is doing. >> tell us about your new reporting about this fight that happened between chief of staff john kelly and corey lewandowski just outside of the oval office. >> sure. this was back in february and we started hearing about this last week because of this fight between kelly and bolton, which some in the white house are now saying wasn't a thing at all, but be that as it may we were hearing of an isolated incident. in february corey lewandowski and john kelly were -- it was the day that the families from the kids who were kill

instead, a repeat. >> welcome to the show, i'm megyn kelly, happy friday. >> reporter: kelly's views about blackface have sparked outrage. >> what is racist? because, truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for halloween, like -- back when i was a kid, that was okay, as long as you were dressing up as a character. >> reporter: even defending the costume of this reality star. >> she made her skin look darker and people said that was racist -- i thought, like, who doesn't love diana ross? >> reporter: kelly made a tearful apology. >> i defended the idea, saying as long as it was respectful and part of a halloween costume, it seemed okay. well, i was wrong and i am sorry. >> reporter: and now, kelly is reportedly gearing up to fight back. she's hired an attorney who, according to the hollywood reporter, plans to meet with nbc executives friday and argue nbc is hit critical, because the reality star wore that costume on an nbc sister network. the chairman of nbc said, "there's no place on our air or

but how could john kelly and john bolton agree over immigration. a lot of it goes back to secretary nielsen and what john bolton said about her. he was really empowered as a national security adviser about didn't have to answer to john kelly like we saw h.r. mcmaster do. >> we've heard repeatedly that president trump doesn't mike arguments. but at what point, i'm not sure that's really point, but at what point does it start to negatively impact governing? >> oh, i think if you have a situation that basically bolton and kelly aren't speaking to each other, that would definitely hamper the internal operations of the white house. i do think there's a new element here, anderson, since we last visited this question, and that is that president trump has introduced the notion of sending troops to the border. u.s. troops. that is something general kelly, coming out of his military background, is likely to oppose very strenuously. but we have this caravan coming up from about 4,000 now, who have left honduras and coming through guatemala up to the u.s. bord

it's really a kind of marriage of convenience between trump and kelly. the deal seems to be that kelly does not tell him what he does not want to hear and trump gets to be trump. that's not a recipe for effective governance, however much donald trump may try to love to do it that way. >> chris whipple, thank you. a.b. and jeff, stick around. two weeks until you decide who will control the house and senate. msnbc political correspondent steve kornacki is back with his 18 in 18, 18 races to watch leading up to the mid-terms. today, illinois, do it. >> the 12th district of illinois we're looking at today, hallie. this is southern illinois, carbon dale, very rural, lots of farm land here. this is a district that a couple months ago democrats had high hopes for. they still have some hopes but it might be a little more complicated now. famously this district -- by the way, it is the home of jackie joiner kearsy. the republican incumbent challenged by brennan kelly. we saw them all over the midwest. obama carried it in 2012. giant swing to donald trump in 2016.

kelly. [applause] >> i'm glad i could be here tonight. and i know we have completely different views of the plane record is. when it comes to the constituent service out of the 435 members of the house and senate, the congressional management foundation found that our office was one of the top three in washington. also, when you look at who we are and where we are, we divided the district in three areas so that none of our constituents would have to drive more than 45 minutes to get to an office. we have had more communications with this district of them has ever been possible before and a lot of it has to do with town halls. we have had people participate as far away as the united kingdom ^-caret i will tell you this, there is a stark difference between us. there's a stark difference. if you want a bigger government, but regulates you more and that takes back the tax cuts that says look, those opportunities come and know that it's just for the rich. check 16501 and tell me part of what i did as the ways and means was for the rich, the pr

over the rob porter situation, and kelly was very sensitive to that.hat whole period opened up a pretty dark chapter of kelly's tenure as chief of staff in the white house where there are some questions about the durability for him in that role and how much control he actually has over the staff, and he seemed to have just lost his temper. >> and white houses are obviously stressful places to work. i'm not sure i've heard, though, of these kind of fights happening in other administrations, have you? >> no, we have certainly heard of fights. is it possible these kind of fights happened and we didn't hear about them? sure, but i find that unlikely. this white house certainly leaks more than other white houses. but i don't know of a white house where secret service intercension has been a theme let alone a norm. >> i want to bring in the two david. david axelrod and david gergen. david axelrod, did you ever grab somebody by the collar in the white house and have to have secret service step in? >> no, and i'm not sure any other person from the white house

i would take kelly -- if it devolved into a fight, i would take kelly in that fight.ut we'll see. >> listen, i've got to ask you. remember olivia was in the west wing last week and she said they put on this big display of how great they got along and how wonderful it was. i'm wondering if this is another example that flies in the face of trump saying his white house is a well-oiled machine. olivia newsy in "new york" magazine last week. >> his white house runs like trump operations run. he's the hub. everyone else is sort of a sideshow to him. he likes conflict. he foments conflict. he brings people in with conflicting views. and it hasn't been harmonious from the beginning and it's not harmonious now. those who are close to him argue that yeah, his methods are unconventional but he gets results anyway. and that's what matters. but at end of the day you do pay a price if there's incoherence in a white house. there are going to be situations that arise that require some level of coordination and cooperation. and if people are at loggerheads with each other and issuing

kelly: you got to make sure you don't just talk the talk about walk the walk.f you look at what i have done as a public servant, elected official, the majority of the women who are on my staff, majority of people on my staff are women. they are paid on average more than men and that is true for my campaign as well. i'm not sure anybody else up here has anything on that staff but i made it a priority to make sure we have an environment that fosters women's leadership. as far as the me too movement goes, i have had the opportunity to share many difficult moments with victims of sexual assault, victims of domestic violence. one thing you notice when you are in the room with them is the silence. they don't want to talk about the horrible experience they have been through. they don't want to relive the trauma. they don't want to confront their attacker. but now they don't have to worry about that. they also have to worry about lifelong politicians like mike bost using their very personal experience, without their permission, in a cheap political act to make sure the

kelly grabbed le wachlt. in. his collar and threw him against the wall, for criticizing kelly on television for his handling of security clearances for former white house aide rob porter, after reports that kelly stormed out during a shouting match with now national security adviser john bolton. >> isn't it part of the course for people in trump's inner circle to act like this? we act like we're shocked but then again kelly was brought in to bring some sort of order to a chaotic administration. instead he's part of this chaos and the storm inside this white house. >> do you think he likes to see the physical fighting in his circle? >> trump? i think he loves it. everything to him is a reality show. his presidency has been one saga after another. >> do you think during a crisis, jose, we like to know that the white house staff is wrestling on the floor? >> we shouldn't like that. the president sets the tone, chris. they say the fish swims from the head. and it's true. >> is that a greek saying? i think so. >> the

led people to think john kelly might resign.eone who has threatened to resign in the past when he and president trump disagreed and people thought he genuinely could resign because he saw president trump siding with john bolton adding to john kelly's fury. he's not traveling to the president to montana, wasn't scheduled to, but john bolton kept about his schedule going on with meetings this afternoon. a really ugly fight that startled people in the west wing and that sees a lot because they see a lot of fights here. >> david? >> these are both tough guys with very thick skin. >> does john kelly have thick skin? >> john kelly has pretty thick skin and it's a very small space. people think watching the show on tv it's this expansive. >> it's not. >> very tiny. >> if there's an argument outside the west wing you can hear it standing in the briefing room. >> it's pretty tight quarters, so when you have much more than a hush tone conversation it can be heard. look, these folks -- neither of these guys are shrinking violets. they are

>> i'm megyn kelly and i want to start with two words. i'm sorry. howie: why was that apology not enough. this is "mediabuzz." president trump's initial response to the first wave of pipe bomb attacks was telling both sides to tone it down. president trump the media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and stop the endless hostility and often negative and often false attacks and stories. howie: jeff zucker said there is an understanding -- a lack of understanding at the white house about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media. president trump: we have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the republican party. howie: joining me to analyze the coverage is emily jashinsky, sara fischer and adrienne elrod. emily, what do you think with journalists and pundits blaming president trump for the pipe bombs sent to democrats. emily: it takes the responsibility away from the sick individuals committing the heinous crimes to blame a

is set up so bolton reports directly to the president and circumvents kelly's authority, which kelly finds very frustrating. there's all of that simmering underneath, and there's the closest person to john kelly has consistently been kirstjen nielsen. he helped install her over at the -- >> his old job at homeland security, and he's very protective of her. she's been under fire from the president, from within her own agency, and you know, to have bolton then go after her for what he felt like, according to our reporting, was her not really doing the one thing that she's supposed to do and the big thing the president cares about when it comes to her department. >> what's interest about the story, and we'll get to the abomination, which was the policy they were fighting over and nobody appears to have been on the side of the humanitarian crisis it is, they were debating not whether to use the military but how to keep these people out. no one was having a fundamental argument over policy from my understanding? >> it was a policy meeting, but it's hard to be -- >> it was a personal attac

so john kelly's still there. >> that's the incredible thing.n -- the president doesn't fire anybody. and i would think that general kelly would demand that the president of the united states fire him face to face in the way that we were hearing that rod rosenstein would want the president to do for him. well, if he can't fire him by twitter and he has no one else to call, well, why wouldn't john kelly just keep showing up at the white house? because the boss, the leader of the free world, doesn't have the guts to do what the president of the united states has every power to do, and that is to fire his chief of staff. >> and the technical truth of the matter, maya, is if you get a phone call from the white house chief of staff saying the president is firing you and you're a cabinet official, you are not fired. you don't have to consider that fired. if you hear it directly from the president or you get it in writing directly from the president, then you're fired. >> that's exactly right. i just have to say, we're talking about probably the world'

in recent weeks, at least we're hearing about john kelly's temper.ast week he got into a shouting match with john bolton over the border issue, over migrants coming up from central america to the southern border. and in the past john kelly has reportedly gotten into it with a chinese officials during a presidential trip overseas. so not the first time here for either of them. >> in light of that, call me suspicious, are these possibly intentional leaks to undermine john kelly? there are folks who trump allies who see kelly as not sufficiently supportive of the president. >> yeah. i think this drama surrounding john kelly is never really over, even though he said he would sign on for another two years. there are people inside the white house and outside that are leaking information that could be seen as damaging to him out and to the public. it is part of an on yougoing po struggle here. john kelly is on the receiving end today, as he has been in recent weeks. >> let's see if there is a presidential promise to investigate the source of these leaks. ab

megyn kelly since the sandal.and only "access" as charlize on playing the part. >> i want to quit every day. it's really

the dispute was so heated that kelly stormed out of the white house shortly afterwards. altercation arose from a dispute that bolton had with kirstjen nielsen. nielsen was explaining an 80% rise when bolton said nielsen a close kelly ally was doing a terrible job with the border and that her department was not producing the needed results, and then there were f-bombs. kelly ultimately stormed out of the white house early with no resolution to the issue saying i'm effing out of here. carol lee joins us on set. wow, just another day in paradise. >> just another argument in the west wing. >> i worked in the west wing, and you know, i'm a big fan of the f-word when appropriate, but i never used it around the oval office. >> john kelly has become kind of known for this. he has a reputation for being a bit of a hot head and has a temper, and you know, he -- >> not ideal in a chief of staff? >> no. >> and he and john bolton, their relationship has been fraught from the start. if you remember, john kelly did not want john bolton to become national security adviser. it's not lost
