he's integral to it, but was he totally alone. >> malcolm nance we're obviously celebrating good news here tonight, and as i said, a lightning fast investigation, a lightning fast arrest. what worries you further beyond this case? >> well, first, for this suspect, you've really got to re-evaluate your life choices when you wake up to the fbi hostage rescue team surrounding you ask bringing you in as a terrorist because that's what he is. and what we need to consider right now is as jim said, the key part of this investigation is did he act alone. did he assemble all of these devices. was he part of a team that assembled these devices? most worrisome for me is you know, where is the bomb factory. where did he actually assemble these devices? is there an entire pile of them left unmailed, and were other devices mailed and are now inside the mail stream still en route to targets waiting to be sorted and waiting for postal inspectors to find them? this terrorist campaign is not over by any stretch of the imagination until we get those things answered. >> counselor, arianna berg, i want to

malcolm nance, ali velshi with us here in new york. gentlemen, thank you both. >>> and coming up, more from the president's a.p. interview including his effort to try to diminish the role of his long-time and lawyer personal lawyer, michael cohen. he's now calling him a pr guy. we'll see how that will go over. in 2017, california had the worst wildfire season on record. scientists say, our weather is becoming more extreme and we all have to be better prepared. that's why pg&e is adopting new and additional safety precautions to help us monitor and respond to dangerous weather. hi, i'm allison bagley, a meteorologist with pg&e's community wildfire safety program. we're working now, to enhance our weather forecasting capabilities, building a network of new weather stations to identify when and where extreme wildfire conditions may occur, so we can respond faster and better. we're installing cutting edge technology to provide real-time mapping and tracking of weather patterns. and we use this information in partnership with first responde

jill winebanks, john harwood, and malcolm nance. everything about this presidency is unusual. we say it probably every weekend. what is more unusual is that we have a president who, you know, he did the condemnation in written form. he read it out of the prompter. but he immediately goes back to attacking the very people who were under attack. he doesn't contact the former president. he doesn't do any of the normal things that a president would do. what does that say to you? >> well, it tells me he has no interest in the role of being president of the united states. he doesn't. he's not worthy of the title. in fact he is actually working against the interests of the united states. let me put this -- as a counterterroism professional, let me put it to you this way, this nation sustained a terrorist mail bombing campaign this week. the only reason that we don't have postal workers or individuals who the bombs were sent to injured, wounded or killed is because the bomber was too incompetent to actually produce an effective device. but they were real devices. the fbi says they wer

. >> malcolm nance is with us as well. tell us what you're hoping to hear. >> i'm hoping the attorney general gives us a broad out line of this plot. most importantly there's two factors that the others have been bringing up. we don't know the breadth of this. i hope tths one individual. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this.ths one. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this.htths o. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this.istths . i pray to god this is only one individual who did this. itths individual. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this.stths o individual. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this. one in. i pray to god this is only one individual who did this. >> do we know -- does he have a house? does he have an apartment? was he living out of his van? i know the new york times interviewed someone who had taken a photo of the van. he said when he would see this parked, it suggested somebody was staying in it. >> it's really interesting you s

malcolm nance, a former u.s. intelligence officer. welcome to both of you, thank you.ent is combining issues of fake news, which i think we can all agree with journalists shouldn't pedal in fake news, with bias and negativity. they're not the same thing. there's a lot of negative coverage of the president of the united states. because the president of the united states lies a lot and we have to correct him. >> i would venture to say it's not even negative coverage, it's factual coverage. it's the idea that when the president says something that's not true, journalists need to point that out. everywhere i've worked if you make a mistake, you have to correct yourself. so journalists not only are not purposely misleading people but when we make a mistake, we own up to it. this president is not someone who says i made that up or i'm sorry, i was mistaken. he said i regret almost nothing. there's this idea that the president, when he gets in these rallies, even though yesterday i would say the white house had a pretty strong reaction to this, the white house sometimes bungl

and in the meantime i want to go to malcolm nance.n here, just how are you processing aunt of ll o what are you watching for. >> and now we're hoping to get more information about the details of how the attack was carried out. let's not ins take this at all, this was a terrorist attack. it meets every element of the definition of terrorism. it was an act of violence of a political and i'd lonldeologica nature. and the social writings of rob bowers on the internet is amazing. he is a rabid anti-semite. and he says that they are bringing muslims in to the united states so he wanted to punish them. so leading up to this press conference, we're getting a better picture of the gunman itself, but what we really need to know is how did he perpetrate this, was he by himself, was this a broader conspiracy. do we have a group of gunmen who may be out there or who are out to inspire other nazi -- neo-nazis like himself. >> and you refer to the posts from this suspect. it is something to behold. of course there is the work of the southern poverty

and msnbc terrorism analyst malcolm nance. thank you for being here. it's confounding to a lot of people. this seems pretty simple. a u.s. resident, wrote for the "washington post," he's thought dead but presumed dead, perhaps murdered inside this consulate. donald trump can't bring himself to say unequivocally this is a terrible thing, we're going to get to the bottom of it. why? >> you're right, he won't -- resident for the united states is murdered on foreign soil by an allied government. and the answer -- well, there's many potential answers. one of the obvious ones is, is he making money out of saudi arabia. that's a question being asked a lot now. we've never got the trump's tax returns. we know the saudis spent a lot of money at his apartments. he bragged about it a couple years ago in the action campaign they spent $14 million to $15 million on his apartments. posted to first increase in revenue in two years in its first quarter thanks to the saudi entourage with the crown prince coming to stay. it's really odd. this is a president lots of conf

do i still have malcolm nance as well? malcolm, are you with me? >> yes. >> okay. ma malcolm, there is a lot that we don't know, and the chief question being who is behind it or what group might be behind this. and no one is claiming responsibili responsibility, so far. what do we know about the kind of person or people who send pipe bombs, malcolm? >> well, clint van zandt have given you some good point erers this. and every year, the bureau of tobacco and firearms make up a sum are ri of all of the explosives sent around the united states, and pipe bombs are one of the smaller number of explosives that are used. most of the containers are five gallon drums of explosives, but the kind here, pipe bombs, they are generally for the amateurs who want to build an explosive device and have a relatively good payload and they use the black powder that you can buy for reloading the bullets for guys who shoot. so this type of the explosive payload in there they enhance it by putting in ball bearings in there, but general ly the pipe itself is the shrap nell anel af the come

thank you, malcolm nance. >>> kavanaugh and the caravan, isn't that clever?hat are democrats offering as a countermessage? this is "hardball," where the action. i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free... ...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret. b

welljoining us now from philadelphia is former us intelligence officer and author, malcolm nance.gations, to try and find out who is behind the sending of these what they have called hype bombs? what is occurring right now, centred in new york city is a massivejoint terrorism task force which is made up terrorism task force which is made up the components of the fbi as lead agency, us marshal service, up the components of the fbi as lead agency, us marshalservice, us secret service comment new york city police and their homeland security division. new york state police and their homeland security division and their homeland security division and the department of homeland security for any other external support that they will need. the first thing they have done is taken these devices and determined whether they are viable, whether they are actually devices that were intended to explode and could explode, or whether they were dummy devices. the second thing that is happening simultaneously is there is happening simultaneously is there isa is happening simultaneously is there is a

noting trump seems eager to contain rather that confront the fallout as well as terrorism analyst malcolm nance. a perfect panel here. i start with you, nick, on what we're seeing is a type of ethical, moral, humanitarian pressure, call it whatever you want, something other than raw real politics seems to be having incremental pressure. what is your view? >> well, i mean i think that there is very mild progress, i mean, you know, okay, it certainly is good that steve mnuchin isn't going to the investment conference, but at the end of the day, you don't see the u.s. clearly pursuing some kind of an investigation that will get the truth. you know, calling on the sought dis to spend a few more days investigating when this would essentially involve the crown prince investigating himself is a nonstarter and we still seem to think that we have no leverage over the saudis when, you know, we have nothing but leverage. the saudis rely on us for the thing they care most about which is security. and i really do fear that -- i think the latest report from "the times" that there may be an effort to blame th

that's what we have to be careful of. >> i want to get our colleague malcolm nance to weigh in. speak to us about the environment that we're living in. earlier this week i spoke to a presidential historian who said one thing she can look back in history as bad as times were, we were led by good people. they cared about the country and we cared about each other. i worry right now that on both sides these extremes are unwilling to care about each other. we're viewing our own brothers and sisters and neighbors and colleagues as the enemy and how dangerous the perfective is. >> you know, let me try to recalibrate this conversation because i think we're going too far down that path. what is happening right now that every one needs to understand is the united states is under a national mail bombing campaign. this bombing campaign most likely originates from an american citizen or someone who has a grudge against this one particular wing of american citizens. tomorrow we could find ten new devices going to republicans. the important thing is the nation is under attack. an individual ha

joining us now is malcolm nance and barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of michigan and currently a professor but has experience with bombs and attempted bombs and bomb makers. on one hand, barbara, we rely on the fact that these folks are not always as smart as they think they are. but we actually have that experience with bombers and attempted assassins who are really, really smart. we've developed some remarkable techniques for finding these people. and politics aside, the last few days has worked as it should have in terms of investigation and honing in on whoever did this. >> absolutely. and i think it's a really great shining moment for the fbi and all these other laufrmw enforce agencies to see how they work together and put together clues. and the work is not done yet. they will continue to do things like get a search warrant for his home, a search warrant for his car where may they find bomb ca components and other thing,s. so if he carries a cellphone that's like a personal gps device. you can find out whether h

joining me is malcolm nance and mimi rocah. talking about the fact that i feel like we've been talking about for ten years the same thing, groundhogs day, two years and three months. >> any moment now i expect to here "i got you babe". >> i think so. i play that every time you're on. the thing that's galling for americans who actually understand how horrific it is for foreign government interfering in our election is the fact that not only did russia not stop, they've doubled their spin and doubled down on using right wing media to influence the voting behavior you. >> because it's successful. you literally have the pinnacol american in the united states, donald trump saying none of this is happening, don't believe anything you're seeing. on the other hand, you have the people who are opposed to this are trying to explain it and they don't use the words where the average american can understand it. >> right, right. >> you would call our first day that we talked about this, the only way to phrase this is we were attacked. >> rig

fortunate to be able to ask the three of you to start off our conversation, jim kavanaugh and malcolm nance and ariana byrd. thank you. steve schmidt is here with us digesting everything. later the one record that donald trump broke this month, "the 11th hour" back after this. today, 97% of employers agree that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. the kind of skills, that work for you. digital transformation actually what does ithappen?o make it takes dell technologies, a family of seven technology leaders working behind the scenes to make the impossible... reality. we're helping to give cars the power to read your mind from anywhere... and we're helping up to 40% of the nation's donated blood supply to be redirected to the people that need it most. magic can't make digital transformation happen... but we can. in them therr hills on your guarantevacation.find gold but we can guarantee the best price on this rental cabin. or any accomodation from hotels to yurts. booking.com, booking.yeah will transform not just the automobile, but

. >> reporter: i appreciate malcolm nance a lot. i think he's one of the smartest guys i know. everybody who got a package is a critic of the president in some way. as a news organization, you're meant to be critics of the president and everybody else. that's what the news does. it holds power to account. everybody else has been in opposition to or a critic. while he suggests there may be ten more packages out there, we know of seven so far. it's beyond coincidence that all seven packages have gone to people who either have been critical of the president or whom the president has been critical of. i don't know that we can separate that. i don't know that we can separate the reality of who has received these potential pipe bombs. i saw a picture of it. they looked like pipe bombs. there's white powder. i agree with tom winter if we thought it was dangerous, i think we would be seeing something different than what woor seeing now. we're seeing the police lines move.woor seeing now. we're seeing the police lines move.ewoor seeing now. we're seeing the police lines move.'woor seein

joining us now is malcolm nance, an msnbc counter intelligence. they can intercept using cell towers, the phone itself, using the device. the national security counsel has given the president a phone that apparently is fixed for this sort of stuff, and the president doesn't like that. >> well, you're absolutely right. this device that everybody carries is an intelligence agigator and communications device not just for you and your family but for foreign intelligence agencies should they deem that you are targetable. the top target in the united states is the mind-set, thought processes and decisions of the president of the united states. no matter who he is, no matter who is sitting in that chair, the president of the united states will reveal information which is confidential just in his general discussions. so if you can get an unsecured telephone like an iphone, you know, every iphone, each one of these they're not shielded. they emanate, radiate information. they're almost location tracking devices. if you can get close enough or get within th

i want to bring in somebody you know well here, malcolm nance, msnbc terrorism analyst whose depth in this space as a scholar in terrorism. when we look at what has happened here, malcolm, talk about what is happening regarding those who are injured. and aaron was giving a sense of those who are still, what we understand, in the operating rooms. >> yeah. this is a horrific attack, especially considering the weapons that were used. you know, you have a 5.5, 6-millimeter assault, you know, military-grade rifle, that, believe me, it knows no bounds when it comes to injuring people. so, the police -- which is why we have policemen who have injuries from the rifle being fired at them from inside the building. >> right. >> and then you have the horrific injuries of those who were inside. you know, when terrorists use these levels of weapons, that's precisely what's going to happen. you have essentially the same weapon that that s.w.a.t. team that you see in the videos, firing into a crowd, which is what -- you know, to tell you the truth, thank god that this had many less casualties than it

. >> i believe we have malcolm nance joining us on the phone., you have not just politicians, people involved in the political sphere, but now to members of the media too, to cnn, our colleagues over there. we repeat we hope they are safe. we are thinking of them of what has to be a scary moment for those folks. >> by the selection of targets, it may tell you the personal political leanings of the individual who might have done this. but again, msnbc has discussed this for weeks and months of how polarized we have become and how individuals -- we have lost the ability to discuss in this country. you're either with me or against me. for some people, if you're against me, that gives me the right to take up arms or in this case perhaps bombs against you. we have lost the ability to just have a normal conversation. that's okay for law enforcement. we have to find out who did this. we have to get them in quickly. we have to make sure there are no other packages in the mail. and we want to send a message to all americans. this is not the way you resol

malcolm nance is the executive director of the terror asymmetrics project and a former u.s. intelligence officer. and jim cavanaugh, retired atf special agent. frank, to you first, two more packages found this morning. so that's nine since monday. what's your reaction? >> well, a couple things, first, the obvious. every time we get another package, especially when it's intact, we get more evidence. it also exposes the suspect or suspects further. one of the questions in my mind is as we get these trickling in, let's look at a time line of postmarks and when they were put in the system. are we looking at a day or two of the bad guy or bad guys putting these in the system or looking at an active operation where they continue to do this on a daily basis. so that's a question law enforcement has to ask. do we have a one-shot transaction? or is this a continuing transaction? that's important. the other thing is we have a new target today we're aware of. that's a hollywood celebrity. that's robert de niro. that changes things slightly potentially in terms of profile. because we've

i want to bring back malcolm nance, executive director as well as retired atf special agent in charge, and jim calve nau. malcolm, your thoughts first. in the last hour we learned about another package to maxine waters. >> that was sort of expected. as ali, said in the last hour and i'd to give him some props on this, whoever this bomber is, he has a play list in his head none of us are privy to. but now as he's delivered his devices, he is now executing a list that's in his head that we are now finding out is heavily partisan, and is targeted to whatever mental defect that he. that being said, we need to be aware that there could be other people out there who have just not found these devices or there's u.s. capitol hill police or some officer staffer who are now aware through the postal service warnings or new york city shield reports that these devices are now out there in play. people are seeing what they look like, they know what the packaging is like, and it remains to be seen when that will actually end. the most important thing is we have to get the bomber. and now there's nat

yesterday on our program, malcolm nance, our frequent guest, made the following prediction about what to get your response. >> what's going to happen is this because i've worked there my entire career. one, the youngest of that team is going to be singled out and he is either going to be executed or he is going to be disappeared in some way and his tribe and his family will be owed a favor by the king of saudi arabia. the rest of them will all be banished to mecca, mbs will get out of this scott clear and you will hear a letter of intent on weapons sales to the united states that donald trump can walk around the campaign trail. >> is it really that cynical? is that what we're looking forward to? >> that's exactly what's going to happen. 18 people were arrested. apparently the 15 saudis who went there, a driver, two staffers from the consulate, the right-hand of mbs was also let go. so everyone else is taking the fall for this. mbs, again, is in charge of the investigation and of the reform of the intelligence agencies. nothing's going to happen to him. king salman has not removed him.

i wish he would join now the man's on the stephanie -- malcolm nance on the stephanie miller show.ade bernie sanders socialist. i can to be close to niger to dollars -- $900. you are more of an american that i am. guest: i would not go that far. i'm not a bitter america -- better american than anybody else. caller: you are a better man than i, but i will tell you a story about my uncle frank. he was in the battle of the bulge in world war ii. guest: is a better american either one of us. caller: he was in the battle of the bulge. they were under heavy mortar fire and heavy machine-gun fire. half of his unit made it across this river. pineapple frank -- my uncle wam like a bowling ball. river, carryd that a rope across the river. he could not swim worth a lick. they get that rope out. pulled it to the other side. and helped get those guys back. he got a bronze star and a purple heart. when i would ask him about what he did in the war and if you got gotmedals, he was say i the purple heart. detaily finger on k.p. with a potato peeler. if he was alive today and those people -- i can't
